| schmittlauch (he/him) | Hi there. I'm the maintainer of pkgs.cawbird and have a question about GTK emoji pickers:
While in release-21.05 the program still featured a GTK emoji picker button in the tweet compose window, that button is gone in builds against release-21.11 or unstable from the same cawbird sources. I suspect a runtime dependency to be missing.
Any ideas? | 14:55:11 |
| Roos | Hello, I'm having an issue on gnome where I can't enable 'tap to click' on my touchpad settings. I tried asking on #nix:nixos.org but didn't get any answer.
I'm moving from sway to gnome-shell (wayland). I enabled xserver.desktopManager.gnome.enable and managed to start gnome-session by running XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland exec gnome-shell on a tty. I can open gnome-control-center, but when I enable 'tap to click', nothing happens (touchpad does not click on tap). Moreover, closing and reopening the gnome-control-center shows the option as disabled.

| schmittlauch (he/him) | I'm a KDE/Plasma user myself so unfortunately I am not yet that familiar with all the runtime scaffolding of Gnome applications. | 14:55:50 |

isn't pop doing something else now? cosmic? or moving away from gnome entirely? Well they announced it. Even if they actually follow through this might take them years to get a sensible replacement | 14:56:05 |

you probably need to start gnome-session (best to use display manager) or some services might not work | 19:43:09 |

| Jan Tojnar | schmittlauch (he/him): the error seems to originate from https://github.com/IBBoard/cawbird/blob/23e5c1758fa1548ee44a42ac0b9ae8c22f179174/src/CbEmojiChooser.c#L641 | 19:47:59 |
| Jan Tojnar | I would expect the data to be baked into the source code | 19:48:31 |

| Jan Tojnar | schmittlauch (he/him): can you press ctrl-shift-i (GTK inspector) and look if the resource is there | 19:53:14 |
| schmittlauch (he/him) | Jan Tojnar When pressing Ctr-Shift-I nothing happens :\ | 21:15:48 |
| schmittlauch (he/him) | It'd be a shame if Gnome apps suddenly required additional services (apart from dconf) even when running under a different desktop. | 21:16:28 |
| schmittlauch (he/him) | Right click into text field and selecting "Insert emoji" works fine though, it's just the additional button that's gone compared to the release-21.05 build. | 21:18:06 |
| schmittlauch (he/him) | If there's no obvious flaw on the packaging side, I'll go report this upstream. Thx. | 21:18:31 |
| Jan Tojnar | schmittlauch (he/him): hmm, maybe the shortcut needs to be enabled, running the app with GTK_DEBUG=interactive in environment should open the inspector too | 21:33:17 |
| schmittlauch (he/him) | Jan Tojnar Yes, the resource entry you selected is shown in the inspector. | 21:35:42 |
| Jan Tojnar | schmittlauch (he/him): also try running it with G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all env | 22:22:05 |
| schmittlauch (he/him) | Not that much more info:

| schmittlauch (he/him) | Jan Tojnar ^ | 22:26:03 |
| schmittlauch (he/him) | the "c" in the resource description probably comes from me running the program with LANG=C, but also appears when running it with LANG=en. | 22:29:12 |
| schmittlauch (he/him) | but for my German default locale, it indeed looks for "de": 🤔
(cawbird:228786): cawbird-DEBUG: 23:29:23.175: Using emoji/de.data resource | 22:30:36 |
| schmittlauch (he/him) | Okay, I think I got it: When running with LANG=en_GB.utf8, the button appears.
The reason is that it attempts load language-specific resources, but onle the en ones are bundled. So this is an upstream issue with the build-time bundling. Correct, Jan Tojnar | 22:32:52 |
