01:28.55gnarfacecompose key setting?

02:08.10rwpThere are multiple ways to do things but I set the compose key like this: setxkbmap -option compose:menu
02:08.28rwpAnd then follow that up with some more invasive changes with xmodmap.
02:11.38rwpOn my Thinkpad keyboard I use: setxkbmap -option compose:prsc
02:12.11rwpBecause the PrtSc key is in the MultiKey position on that keyboard.
02:12.49xrogaanI have this in my .xsessionrc: setxkbmap -option "nbsp:none"
02:13.00xrogaanThe xmodmap file should do the same
02:14.21xrogaanI went nuclear trying to get that behavior to go away, it was very infuriating. I use the key next to the left shift (<, > here) to type '|' using the altgr modifier.
02:15.13xrogaanI don't always lift my finger in time when typing a following space.
02:19.38xrogaanNon breaking space, that it is called. Absolute nonsense.
02:20.08adhocit has its uses.
02:20.45adhocperhaps less obvious in a terminal
02:20.53xrogaanhttp://hauweele.net/~gawen/blog/?p=32
02:21.10xrogaan> For ASCII is not dead, it’s 7-bit, it’s common, it’s the neutral zone of all character set and No-Break Space shall not interfere therefore it must be eradicated from the very surface of earth or at least from my own keyboards.
02:21.15xrogaanMy thoughts exactly.
02:22.38rwpI mostly run into nbsp in email from Gmail to me because Google inserts it everywhere.
02:23.25rwpI don't have a problem with my accidentally typing in a nbsp but I don't use AltGr as you have described but mostly use Compose keys.
02:26.42xrogaanI set XKBOPTIONS="nbsp:none" in /etc/default/keyboard too.
02:27.57*** join/#devuan specing (~specing@unaffiliated/specing)
02:28.19rwpJust to show that I sympathize, I put this in my early boot for the Linux text consoles: dumpkeys --full-table | sed -n '/^keycode  *29/p;/^keycode  *58/p' | sed '/^keycode  *29/s/Control/Escape/g;/^keycode  *58/s/CtrlL_Lock/Control/g' | loadkeys -q
02:28.43rwpCapslock left of the A becomes left Control, left Control becomes Escape.
02:29.39rwpAnd similar in my .xmodmap for X.  But I want it mapped *CORRECTLY* even when I am not in X on the system console. :-)

02:46.11xrogaanI mean, who uses non-breaking space?
02:46.31onefangI do, in web pages.
02:46.47gnarfacexrogaan: are you sure your keyboard map is right?
02:47.31gnarfacexrogaan: maybe try a "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" then a "dpkg-reconfigure locales" then relog and test stuff again
02:48.08gnarfacethe problem you were having with some altgr key combos throwing errors sounds like the time i tried to use the us standard ansii keyboard mapping on a uk iso standard keyboard
02:48.46gnarface(full us keyboard to the compact format uk iso keybard, blows up some stuff like " \ and ' characters)
02:49.22gnarfacei wonder if your xmodmap stuff was partially chasing the wrong end of the problem
02:49.38gnarfacei had this issue with a pinebook
02:51.33rwpAs I recall ISO is 105 keys with the "tall Enter" and ANSI is 104 keys with the "short Enter".  Definitely not the same layout.
02:52.48rwpThe UK seems to be mostly ISO with the tall Enter shaped inverted-L.  The US is probably 75% ANSI with the short Enter but I still see a lot of tall Enter keyboards here.
02:52.56gnarfacewell but also then there's a minor differences between the US and UK versions
02:53.16gnarfacenot just for key positions, but for a couple of the actual character codes
02:53.27rwpRight.  That's also true and in addition to the different key for the 104/105 key differences.
02:57.58rwpI mean the US has a pound sign over the 3 and the UK has a pound sign over the 3 and they are completely different glyphs.  We are one people separated by a shared language.
03:02.46adhocseparated by a common character set
03:03.07adhocthose two countries use the same words with completely different meanings
03:04.26adhocif you've spent any time in the UK, you'll have five people in a room with accents so thick, they can't understand each over, even though they only live ten miles away from each other

03:19.25rwpYa.  On DVD movies we might be listening to English but have to turn on the English subtitles in order to catch half of them.
03:24.56xrogaangnarface: maybe I didn't express my correctly. There is no error. It's just an abhorrent behavior.
03:25.53xrogaanaltgr+space would insert a non breaking space, which bash can't understand as space
03:25.54gnarfacexrogaan: right, like sometimes you just get the wrong key, sometimes the terminal just blinks or beeps (error bell) and does nothing until you hit the key again, sometimes it'll output the right key then but with a leading or trailing space?  sound about right?
03:26.16gnarfacespecifically the stuff like " ' and |?
03:26.39xrogaanso 'somecmd | grep "blah"' would have bash say ' ' is not recognized or whatever, because it's not a space.
03:26.40gnarfacewhen i said error i didn't mean actually an error log i meant just the terminal alarm bell/blink
03:26.53gnarfaceoh hmm

03:27.13xrogaanWhat I see is a space. What I typed should be a space. But it's not a space.
03:27.53gnarfacewell there's a lot of whitespace characters...  probably just the wrong one.  if you can figure out the actual ascii value of it, that might be a clue
03:28.05onefangYour keyboard is spaced out man.
03:35.22xrogaanwhat's the "compose" key?
03:35.31xrogaanisn't it alt-gr?
03:37.55cronoliothis key doen't exest's on default keyboard, but can be configureg in settings
03:40.28xrogaanoh, it's not set here. No wonder I can't get it to work.
03:41.04xrogaan' ' <- this is not a space.
03:41.53xrogaan$  
03:41.53xrogaanbash: $'\302\240': command not found
03:42.32xrogaanman, compose is great. Where has it been all my life?
03:42.52adhocah, the joy of learning new things
03:42.58iv4nshm4k0vxrogaan: Composing itself to meet you.
03:46.51xrogaan<compose> <less> <slash> is a lot less painful than altgr+8

04:17.13xrogaanIETF's mailarchive interface is so gorgeous: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/tools-discuss/
04:41.41rwpI know that some people like AltGr because they are used to it.  I learned Emacs C-x 8 foo stuff back in the day.  But I find Compose sequences much more intuitive.
04:42.26rwpSo much easier to type in caf Compose e ' and get café when I want that than remembering the chorded keys for AltGr.
04:43.44rwpI very much liked the old gmane web interface when it was working.

19:05.45eyalrozActually, I don't think that is a reasonable attitude. I mean, obviously the responsibility isn't Devuan's. But it should be expected for users to add third-party repositories;
19:06.39eyalrozand a distribution should IMHO have some sort of a notion, made available to users, regarding the compatibility of various prominent 3rd-party repos.
19:19.55*** join/#devuan Ryushin (~Ryushin@2001:470:4b:38f:777::8755)
19:19.57sadsnorkI am just "some guy" who uses Devuan, my views certainly should not be interpreted as official in any way... I just figure my experience was perhaps relevant.
19:20.58sadsnorkI imagine there is already enough work for Devuan developers, maintainers, and other various volunteers that trying to keep up with all packages at all third party repos is simply not possible.
19:23.45iv4nshm4k0vThe beauty of volunteer-driven projects is that if you want something to be there, you can simply volunteer to do it yourself.  If what you do is useful and reliable, it becomes "official."
19:33.13sadsnorkPerhaps, though while I might consider my experience with third party repos to be relevant and possibly helpful, I wouldn't consider my experience to be comprehensive enough to call it official in any way.
19:35.17sadsnorkI'd certainly hope that the real maintainers of Devuan (meaning "not me") would not find themselves trying to support someone working with third party repos simply because I publicly shared my successful use of them.
19:36.56onefangThe problem with third party repos is that they MAY replace something important for the rest of your system that you didn't expect.  But, you can check out the third party repo's contents for that sort of thing.  I also use deb-multimedia and the PaleMoon one, and the official Mono one, plus some more, with no problems.
19:37.57onefangBut yeah, use Mono from a third party repo, even this Devuan dev ain't gonna help you if that causes problems.  But mostly coz I hate C#.  lol
19:47.14rwpIt used to be some years ago during the libav fork bad times that I needed to use deb-multimedia in order to get ffmpeg based versions which worked for me.
19:47.56rwpBut in recent years that libav/ffmpeg issue seems to have become resolved enough that I only need the main distro repositories and things are okay now.  (Which I always add "for me".  YMMV.)
19:48.34onefangI'm pissed off that JPEG 2000 support was removed from most things Debian.  Sure it's an obscure format, but it's used for everything in OpenSim, so I have thousands of the things.
19:49.55rwpI'll also note that some people learn how to work with multiple repositories and know how versions of packages in repositories work and deal with it.  While other people are always fighting it and banging their head against the system.  Which leads to quite different success and failure stories being reported.
19:50.20rwponefang, I am unaware of the JPEG 2000 issue.  I must thankfully not have been hitting it.
19:50.31onefangAs I said, they are OK if you know what you are doing and check the contents of the third party repos.
19:51.31rwpFor a lot of things I create chroot containers to hold the odd things like "an old version of grip" that I still use for ripping music and things like that.  So as to keep things isolated and not get in the way of the host system upgrades.
19:51.47onefangIt's obscure, if you are not using JPEG 2000, you wont notice it.  It used to be used in medical applications, and it's the internal image format for all images in OpenSIm, a 3D virtual world that has lots of images for mesh textures and stuff.
19:51.55rwpI mean sure it is an etch based binary and we are on beowulf now but it's still working well for me. :-)
19:53.10onefangSo you can imagine my desktop, which has backups of three OpenSim servers, and copies of those so I can test new OpenSim code, has a really large collection of JPEG 2000 images.
19:53.13rwpI wonder why jpeg 2000 was dropped?  I do know that interpreters in libraries used by other random programs have become a target of attacks due to buffer overflow attacks within them.  And JPEG is defined as an interpreter.
19:53.46onefangI'm thinking of running a VM with an ancient version of Devuan from before they removed JPEG 2000.
19:54.13rwpYou should definitely do that.  I have dozens of VMs for specific things all frozen off.
19:54.24onefangLikely coz "meh no one uses it, remove attack surface".
19:54.51rwpLibraries are where Rust is an advantage.  It can be used to mitigate the problem of memory problems.  And being a library other programs that use it are then protected.
19:55.03onefangSame thing for a few other things that I don't like about Beowulf.  Quite a few things I use grew some annoyances for Beowulf.  lol
19:55.33rwpRecently someone submitted Coreutils rewritten in Rust and I think that is just silly.  No advantage at all there.  It's not like cp, mv, rm, are segfaulting due to memory problems and creating security vulnerabilities.
19:56.00onefangLike neomutt not showing O for Old marked emails, but instead showing N for New on those Old marked emails.  Worked fine in ASCII.
19:56.26rwpI am using mutt not neomutt and I am still seeing O for old mails.
19:56.54rwpHowever I am using local Maildirs and I notice that IMAP "does not work right" for my definition of "right" which is why I continue to use local Maildirs.
19:57.14onefangxscreensaver not turning off my monitors AFTER I have blanked them manually, it's fine doing it on the automatic blanking before the first manual one.
19:57.19rwpWith imap it seems I don't get N new mails but only get O old mails.
19:57.40onefangBefore Beowulf mutt was neomutt, they split and properly named them now.
19:57.59onefangI prefer neomutt.
19:58.35rwpI am not running xscreensaver anywhere.  But I am setting "xset s 1800 dpms 1800 1800 1800" and my monitors are power saving okay.
19:59.13rwpBefore mutt was neomutt it was just mutt.  It was mutt then mutated into neomutt and then was split.
19:59.15onefangMariaDB complaining every five minutes that the replication connection dropped, though it's replicating fine.  I haven't been able to find any reports of this WITHOUT a second error message that I don't get.  Those reports are real network dropouts.
19:59.34onefangI know about the mutt history.
19:59.42xrogaanand I forgot how to format paragraphs using vim, again.
19:59.50onefanglol
19:59.59rwp"| fmt" ?? :-)
20:00.17onefangThere's only one command I need to know for vim - killall -TERM vim
20:00.47onefangCoz sometimes you invoke it when you didn't want to, coz it's the default editor for things.
20:01.29xrogaangq apparently
20:01.33rwpNote that if we are going to ramble then #devuan-offtopic is the official channel for it and not in #devuan so that people can focus on helping people.
20:01.53xrogaanwasn't it #debianfork?
20:02.23rwpAIUI #debianfork is for development discussion.  Not random rambling and ranting.
20:03.06onefangWell those problems I mentioned about Beowulf I'd like to get answers to.  Neomutt I can run in a VM, MariaDB I can run in a VM, xscreensaver has to run in the host.  Coz it's annoying having to turn my monitors off to get to sleep.
20:03.51rwpTry using "xset" as above and letting it do it's thing.  No need for xscreensaver.
20:03.56onefangJPEG 2000 stuff I can run in a VM, but that one is painful, and I can just blame Debian for.
20:04.35rwpI stopped using xscreensaver because jwz obviously did not want people to use it and it's a silly thing these days anyway.
20:05.55rwpI am blaming Debian for a lot of these but on the good side Debian is driving me away from packages and back to the source code again.
20:06.05onefangI had experimented with xset, couldn't get exactly what I wanted.
20:10.44onefangxset s 10 dpms 20 30 40  # typed in an xterm should blank in ten seconds, then go through the various stages of turning off the monitor each ten seconds after that?  It did nothing.
