Does Ubuntu Server use D-Bus? #server #notification #dbus

Me: *crying* Why can't you be normal?
org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig's ApplyMonitorsConfig: logical_monitors format is "a(iiduba(ssa{sv}))"

#GNOME #DBus

Spent some time with #Voidlinux #musl last night.

It's like "who I am", "why I'm here", "what I'm doing". I found no clue to set up system language without #locale, and I can't even find a way to start #dbus.

Should Back In Time inhibit suspend or idle mode by default?

Thinking out loud: is there a way to get systemd to pass a D-Bus system bus socket FD to a service when it’s bus activated (i.e. via `LISTEN_FDS`)? Would mean the service could sandbox AF_UNIX socket connectivity (if it only needed that to connect to the bus, which I guess is true for some bus daemons). Downside ottomh: system bus connection policy would be bypassed (though it allows all connections by default) and the auth would still need to be done by the service.

I'm actually having way to much fun with this little pet project. I can now cycle through multiple instance of an application, get media status, etc...

It's intended to facilitate my own personal workflow,
it's not generic enough for public use... yet.

#gnome #ubuntu #automation #iot #dbus

I'm looking into some #automation on #ubuntu #gnome desktop. I figured I'd be able to do everything using #dbus.
It works great for media control but not so much for virtual desktop / window management. I can use #wmctrl to nativate between virtual desktops but window management doesn't work on #wayland. Then there is #ydotool which also doesn't seem to work well.

Now I can
- Control media via dbus
- Switch workspaces via wmctrl

But I feel there has to be a better way?
