new feature - polkit auth agent support partly in core (need to have
the pam setuid root auth tool respond via dbus) and partly a module
(the agent dbus protocol handling and setup as well as auth gui). this
took me a while even with all the docs to work out how polkit works...
it was really fussy and its data structs are an extra pain in the butt
to craft with eldbus, but i managed it. not everything is supported
but the core basics are there and this can be built on.
right now the gui is really basic, but does the job.
still have a problem - cant work in wl drm/kms mode because e still
holds the ownership/lock on the console, but using full efl to draw
the alert and even blink it...
this drops xcb requirement too.
using just evas_gl_new() will lead to almost always using just
software rendering... because often osmesa is not installed and e will
start in software rendering by default until it switches properly
after the wizard. this appropriately checks in an x path vs. wayland
path in different ways as to if we should do gl by default and ALWAYS
offers a checkbox to the user, just the default value/state of that
checkbox depends on what is detected and a user can override.
for fast we probably should look at something like having a multiplier
on edj transitions and set it to 0 to make it instant. this would be
much better and able to apply to ALL effects... so let's remove this
way for now. as for no shaodws and other stuff - moving to wl cant
control CSD and even then it's a theme look ant feel - a "flat theme
withotu any shadows" would just not have them. probably not a checkbox
to have here.
this allows for a shorter timeout when on battery vs when on ac for
backlight dimming. this is actually important so when on ac dimming
can interrupt minimally bur when on battery it can be much more
aggressive.
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.
this used to work years ago ... it seems tihave broken. this fixes it
all up to work again so you can bind a move/resize of a window tothe
kbd and then use arrow keys etc. like you used to....
@fix
so this is kind of a hack, but a neat one - defer the object show
until the next loop to skip the time involved in object creation thus
starting nay animation after this has happened.
some intel cpu's only go down to 20%, some down to 10% min state....
so let's do this in lots of 5% to allow for some future cpu's. now
it's not just 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 it's worth making it a real loop to
save on code too. this allows me to actually control the cpu's i see
at the detail level i see they can be controlled at.
so some clients just cant tile due to min size and this leads to
really bad results so pass the problem back to the user to go resize
them up to fit. this probably needs far more extensive layout logic.
the data struct is a tree but perhaps it needs to flatten out into a
table to make layouting more sane. but that's the future. for now be
less bad today.
if we use the util func we do get a title... and als use translation
too for this notification. Also increase timeout so people can read it
and notice it.
