Spotlight does not stick the the cursor #21

Closed nipser closed 4 years ago

nipser commented 5 years ago

OS: Debian 9.9 with gnome 3.22.3-3

When I hold upper button down, the spotlight appears. Unfortunatly, when moving the presenter, the spotlight barely moves and after some centimeters it just stops. The cursor appears and can be moves just as normal. My self-compiled version 0.4 worked as expected.

Can you help? :/

Edit: I just tested version 0.4 again and it still works fine. When I compile 0.5 locally, the issue still persists.

Which version of Projecteur are you running? (Self-built or linux package?)

Which version of Projecteur are you running? (Self-built or linux package?)

I'm running projecteur-0.5_debian-9-x86_64.deb from bintray.

The version 0.4 I have (the one that works) is selfmade.

One Idea: When switching from the self-built version make sure you remove the udev rule file you copied to /etc/udev/rules.d as the package comes with one itself and I think the package puts it in something like /lib/udev/rules.d (on debian based systems at least).

So these rules might conflicting each other

I removed the udev-rule-file. Sadly, the behaviour is still the same. I also tried building 0.5 myself now and get the same result.

jahnf commented 5 years ago

After remove the other rule file, did you trigger a reload of the rules (sudo udevadm control --reload-rules and sudo udevadm trigger) ? ...

If that does not work could you please remove the deb package
and then try a self built version of 0.4 and 0.5 report what worked and what not? That would be helpful. Also: Is your spotlight connected via the dongle or bluetooth?

I'm running mostly Ubuntu (and OpenSuse at work), so cannot reproduce the issue right now.

I did.

-> apt purge projecteur

Working: self built version 0.4 Not working: self build version 0.5

Dongle.

Well, then I'm out of quick ideas.. changes from 0.4 to 0.5 are not really drastic:

So nothing really ground breaking, you can stick with 0.4 until I have time to investigate the issue for the next minor release.

nipser commented 5 years ago

Will do. Thank you for the quick investigation and for the tool in general :) I really love the spotlight-function!

For further investigation, I uploaded a video showing the problem again: https://youtu.be/u58F1D0hUL8

@nipser : Could you try a build of v0.5 / or the latest from develop but replace the file qml/main.qml with the one from v0.4 (https://github.com/jahnf/Projecteur/blob/v0.4/qml/main.qml) (Spotlight shape settings won't have any effect then, but to narrow down the issue and see if this works on your machine)

nipser commented 5 years ago

Done. Compiling works without any problem. When I use the Spotlight-function, this happens:

The cursor is visible and freely moveable. When its under the grey square, it gets hidden.

@nipser I cannot reproduce it. Is this issue still valid? Does it have to do with a compositor not running? (see user comments in #10 #24 and #26)

jahnf commented 4 years ago

Closing this issue. Not reproducible for me. If still valid you can reopen this issue.
