Window titles are not logged in cinnamon #28

Closed adamkw closed 6 years ago

adamkw commented 6 years ago

When using cinnamon, all windows are logged as "__LOCKEDSCREEN".

Hi, Hum OK.

Are you sure you installed all the dependencies, as specified here. I'm thinking about "On other Linux distribution, install them also, and you may also need gnome-screensaver".
Have you edited the user setting, as described in "Important. As a one-time setup" in the homepage ? Thanks

Does your fix 06c2c4d works for you? I don't have cinnamon so of course I cannot test. Thanks for reporting (and fixing!) this!

My fix works for me. I'm using Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon with the default configuration.

By the way: The 2>&1 /dev/null construct didn't work for me (and also didn't make sense to me after quickly googling it), which is why i replaced it with 2> /dev/null. Did you test the script under gnome?

Also great job maintaining the original scripts and adding new features (and pokemons)!

OK thanks.

Regarding 2>&1, it's a perfectly valid bash trick, to redirect stderr (error messages) to stdout. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/818255/in-the-shell-what-does-21-mean#818284. It is totally independent of the desktop environment, and only requires a recent Bash version (any version >= 4.0 I think).

Thanks.
