Got a note from Jeremiah Foster that Xnee is now available on the maemo device. Read more: http://maemo.org/development/tools/doc/diablo/xnee/

There seems to be an issue with the RECORD extension in Xorg. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3722 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20500 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21971 ...

We are pleased to announce the availability of GNU Xnee 3.03 GNU Xnee is a suite of programs that can record, replay and distribute user actions under the X11 environment. Think of it as a robot that can imitate the job you just did. GNU Xnee can be used to: Automate tests [...]

When executing GNU Xnee under name of display:    :0.0 version number:    11.0 vendor string:    The X.Org Foundation vendor release number:    10402000 X.Org version: 1.4.2 everything is OK. …. but when I run cnee under name of display:    :0.0 ...

Seems as if there something strange going on in XRecordEnableContextAsync in the [...] [Less]

Just got rid of all the compiler warnings (gcc pedantic mode) for the GNU Xnee modules: libxnee cnee Will not do pnee and gnee in this release. So the plan to release it any day seems to hold. Let’s wait and see

Finally!!!! The sync problem is now solved. An error in the recorded file parser caused the problems. This was the last thing to be fixed before 3.03, so within a week or so we’ll have a 3.03 ready to go. Meanwhile, enjoy 3.02.96. Download it from: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/xnee/xnee-3.02.96.tar.gz (sig)

Keep It Simple Stupid! How many time do we have to repeat that to learn? It’s possible to write scripts using some GNU Xnee bash functions to fake user input. To speed up things (don’t pre optimise!!!) I’ve tested launching one one instance of cnee and use a fifo or tail -f to write to that instance. [...]

I guess it’s about time I do something about the bugs reported lately. Haven’t had the time to dive into ‘em, but will do my nest to analyse then tonite. Yup, I better pop some of them before the stack overflows. Big thanks for the report (even the private ones … but I prefer reports through Mailing [...]

I am about to disconnect myself from the internet for a while. Reasons are among other things that I moving away from old apartment and my old web and email server kept in the apartment. In short this means; * you can send emails to [email protected] * emails will not be read for a while * this blog can’t be read [...]

I have been trying to automate some profiling (with gprof) by running some apps in Xvfb and record/replay with Xnee. Problem is, Xvfb crashes. In order to spot the bug I set up a less complex enviroment Here’s the set up: Terminal 1: Xvfb -ac :22 Terminal 2: export DISPLAY=:22 ; while (true) ; do xterm -e sleep [...]
