this means no leaked fd's between restarts too. cleaner. it also
encorces "die with parent" for enlightenment_start too as another
bonus in addition to its own fifo handling for singleton access per uid.
WARNING: you need to log out and log back in since the "protocol
expectations" (what exit codes do what and what parent and child
process are responsible for) changed so to get them both back in sync
you need to log out and in.
so e has had a bit of a mess of setuid root tools to do things that
are essential to maintaing a functioning desktop/laptop/tablet/phone
like device like shutting it down or suspending or sqizzling the cpu
governor or messing with the backlight or... you get the idea.
this has been spread around enlightenment_sys and other special
purpose tools. this now unifies it into a single "always there"
enlightenment_system backend setuid root slave process whose job it is
to do all these things via a stdio protocol in an organized way. this
means latency to do something is lower, but at the expense of
consuming ram and a lurking process. unfortunately the lurking will be
needed soon when i add ddc support to make it even vaguely efficient,
so it's a cost i guess we have to pay now. we'll need this in future
as well for some stats collection and more.
still need to port existing code to use this instead of the existing stuff,
and then remove of the old stuff.
since now we basically bring everything up THEN start rendering once
we hit the main loop there is no point having init splash strings
anymore. it is no longer an external process. until e's compositor is
up you will see nothing anyway. if it is up these days we've finished
init as a smoothing out of startup has move everything before main
loop starts. so this code is all kind of useless, thus remove. cleanup
code.
this moves a bunch of things that were being don after loop starts to
before so they don't interrupt framerate as well as launch a thread
that preloads file(s) - for now just edj theme files so stuff is
pre-cached by the time loop starts later so we don't stall s much
leading to smoother startup/fade in and better framerate. it's really
visible (especially on my rpi3).
we dont need to delay module loading anymore so remove allof this -
priority too shouldn't be necessary as well and was just a workaround.
this remvoes all of that removing some e module api's and module
struct members as well as some global config fields. it also ensures
all config files are up to date as well.
so when e was e.g. shutting down the system it'd sometimes - or all
the time, restart and not shut down. this fixes that. e was being sent
a HUP signal while doing this causing e to go "ooh HUP - i shall
restart" which si what daemons without a controlling tty do with
signals commonly. this isn't what we want from e though in this case,
so delay itby a bit and ignore if we're in the process of logging
out/halting etc.
this really only affects wayland mode.
@fix
Summary:
Moving _xdg_data_dirs_augment call to earlier in
initalisation process. Currently first-run will
leave XDG_MENU_PREFIX broken, thus the application
menu will be empty in E.
Seems eio_init might be the culprit.
Moved to above eio_init.
Test Plan:
* Launch E from X from a console (startx)
* Check application menu (empty).
* Apply patch.
* Launch E from X from a console (startx)
* E's Application menu should be populated.

is e crashes, catches it and restarts while locked you end up
unlocked. this lets enlightenment_start know this lock down state and
it sets an env var to ensure locking happens on restart after recovery.
this seems to happen to @manmower in T6619. it may just be timing
changes that changed the start loop time to be at init of ecore maybe ...
but it was doing a forced hide and not a clean "done"
that animates/fades. so fix this along with deferring show until the
first render pre.
this fixes T6619
This reverts commit 40e8bb044c.
EFL master solves this properly
EFL stable currently has a bug that solves this accidentally
so there's a window of about 3 commits in git where it's a problem,
and nobody should run those commits in production :)
This fix caused some problems when restarting E, as stdin would
cloexec and then the following startup would try to set cloexec
on an invalid fd and generate an err that generated a cri because
of an invalid log domain.
Someone should probably figure out the log domain thing.
this is a further fix for T5464 to actually make the intended option
work at all. what was there was broken. now it works. init order was
wrong - screensaver was relying on event id's from e_client socde that
were not initted yet AND the handlers didnt account for "dont blank
when fullscreen window is there" at all. @fix
So yeah, I've literally used sed to replace every occurrence of
ecore_time_add() with ecore_timer_loop_add() because I'm reasonably
confident that no part of E has a legitimate need for timer based on the
exact current time.
It would be really nice if I'm not wrong. :)
The reason for this is the incredible spew of clock_gettime() calls I'm
seeing on an ARM system (that should have a vdso for gettime, but...)
This can amount to thousands of system calls per second.
#YOLO
This api give the possibility to add sink to an E_Client and control the volume
or the mute state of the sinks associated with this E_Client.
@features
Qt 5.7 has introduced an extra enviornment var for getting Qt/KDE
apps to follow gtk theming so we will export that alongside the
one that we already support.
Thanks to AJSlye for finding reporting and figuring this out.
this gives e by default sudo gui support with an askpass util that
sudo can use as well as setting the env var correctly so it will be
used by sudo.
@feature
this allows different display protocols to start their applications at
different times to ensure that any initialization has completed prior to
starting anything requiring a window
fix T3475
for the case e_xkb gets initialized, we need to init it before ecore_drm
is called, otherwise ecore_drm will create his own context and keymap,
which will be overriden a few moment later when e_xkb is initializied.
So by calling e_comp_wl_input_keymap_set before ecore_drm_init the
correct context and keymap is set and no useless elements are created.
The mainproblem is that the comp_type is set when the compositor is
already running, so we have to pass the type at the init to the e_xkb
to tell for which kind of compositor we are running.
so every time i restart e i have my windows all messed up. it's
INSANELY annoying and time consuming every single time having to move
a dozen or more windows back to where they should be just because i
restarted e. i've narrowed it down to 2 places. 1 which is trying to
handle "out of screen" windows and during startup it seems things are
not quite stable yet as the randr code figures things out until the
event storm settles down.
when this is then fixed - another bit of code just shuffles windows up
all the time by a titlebar whcih is also supremely annoying. this is
the code that adopes a new frame for a window.
so the nasty hack to avoid piles of pain right now is for the first 5
seconds of e's life - don't do this stuff. at least you can now use e
and not be annoyed to hell and back every restart.
yes a nicer fix may be better - but that's going to take a lot more
time and patience and until then - this will do.
these bindings activate before any other handler can process the
corresponding event and will block all propagation of the event upon
activation
as an example, the alt+wheel default binding for flipping desks currently
passes through a number of event handlers prior to activating the binding,
meaning that it's possible for the wheel action to have unwanted effects
when these handlers cause actions before the binding stops the propagation.
using a MANAGER context instead ensures that this is not possible
Summary:
@fix the display / customisation of KDE5 apps.
KDE5 applications don't understand anything other then gnome or kde
They expect everyone else to set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME to tell them how
to theme there apps otherwise they use a fallback mode which results in
missing icons and a inability to change the appearance of applications
see https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=920792 for more info.
There are two sensible defaults for this variable, "kde" which will
make apps appear the same as they do if they are run in kde. and gtk2
which will make kde applications follow the gtk/gnome theme, we have
decided on choosing gtk2 as it means that kde/qt apps will follow the
app and icon theme set in the enlightenment settings dialog. Some users
who wish to use Qt apps without any gnome or gtk usage may choose to
install qt5ct and overwrite this variable with qt5ct and use that to
configure there Qt5 applications.
