desktop-tools ============= :compact-option: 'desktop-tools' is a collection of tools to run my desktop that might be useful to other people as well: - 'wmstatus' does literally everything i3/sway don't but I'd like them to. It includes PulseAudio volume management and custom-made NUT and MPD clients, all in the name of liberation from GPL-licensed software, of course - 'paswitch' displays a list of all PulseAudio sinks and ports and allows switching between them, moving all playing inputs - 'brightness' allows me to change the brightness of w/e display device I have - 'input-switch' likewise switches the input source of external displays - 'fancontrol-ng' is a clone of fancontrol that can handle errors on resume from suspend instead of setting fans to maximum speed and quitting; in general it doesn't handle everything the original does - 'priod' sets process CPU, I/O and OOM killer priorities automatically according to configuration - 'shellify' is a simple script that sets up a shell for commands like vgdb and nmcli that are painfully lacking it - 'iexec' runs a program and attempts to restart it cleanly when the executable file is replaced on the disk - 'gdm-switch-user' tells the running GDM daemon, if any, to show the switch user screen - 'siprandom' uses the SipHash 2-4 algorithm to produce a stream of pseudo-random data; it should be fast enough to saturate most devices - 'big-brother' tracks the title of the active window and the idle state of the user and writes these events to standard output. - 'elksmart-comm' interfaces with ELK Smart infrared dongles, partially reimplementing the Ocrustar mobile app. Few of them are useful outside of Linux. Packages -------- Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. Building -------- Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, liberty (included) + Runtime dependencies: libpulse, libx11, dbus-1 + Optional runtime dependencies: libusb-1.0 (elksmart-comm), libgdm (gdm-switch-user) $ git clone --recursive https://git.janouch.name/p/desktop-tools.git $ mkdir desktop-tools/build $ cd desktop-tools/build $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug $ make To install the applications, you can do either the usual: # make install Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you.
