lineakd works great. Only version 2.2.2 of xosd worked out from the box. lineakconfig is useless, but since I made the ebuild anyway, I added it into the bundle free of charge. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 16128 [details] The two ebuilds in a tarball To test, save this into your portage overlay folder, cd to it, tar -xzvf lineak.tar.gz, ACCEPT_KEYWORD="~x86" emerge lineakd You can try lineakconfig if you wish. Maybe it's just on my box it does not work. I'm not using gnome but fluxbox.
Created attachment 16143 [details] Modified dependency of lineakconfig ebuild I change the dependency so that it will install lineakd prior to version 6. It clearly does not work and will skyrocket the CPU to the heavens. According to the author: "Also, as a note, lineakd 0.6 is not 100% compatible with lineakconfig and klineakconfig, because both tools do not understand toggleable keys. So, while they are mostly compatible, there will be a slight breakage if you use them. " This change can be simply made manually to the DEPEND variable in the tarball suplied in the first attachment: from : "x11-misc/lineakd" to: "<x11-misc/lineakd_0.6_alpha1"
[From: Bug-Wranging] Please do not compress ebuilds unless you have lots of them. The digests, changelogs, and anything else but the ebuilds are generated by the developers when they commit the ebuild. Adding untar'ed ebuild for a lazy developer who might come across...
Created attachment 16148 [details] lineakd-0.6.1.ebuild [untargzip'ed]
does it work with xosd-2.2.4 at all?
added the lineakd ebuild, anyway. I'm uncertain as to whether I should add lineakconfig, seeing as you mention its silent breakage.
bleh, meant to close it
lineakconfig is completely borked for the latest lineak daemon, but it might work for older version. I'm too lazy to test. The author makes it quite clear that he will not sync them as he plan to shift from gtk to qt (or kde... whatever).
