tuxd3v_found the line of code that was missing in libnewt.0.52.21..06:51
tuxd3v_in form.c,06:52
tuxd3v_482:    newtFormAddHotKey (co, NEWT_KEY_ESCAPE);06:52
tuxd3v_the newt key escape was not working, and I lost 3 weeks around it trying to understand why I couldn't use NEWT_KEY_ESCAPE, events in forms...06:54
tuxd3v_puff those guys are a mess, they remove very precious functionality06:55
tuxd3v_that line above is missing..06:55
tuxd3v_and NEWT_KEY_ESCAPE, its a pleasure to use, just imagine that you want to go back, but you don't want to go back slowly, you just need to press escape twice, and treat that event after the form run..06:58
tuxd3v_in that way you go back, a lot faster..06:58
tuxd3v_some 5x to 10x faster..06:59
tuxd3v_In my builder, I sometimes am inside a lot of loops, and go back by buttons is just crazy, I just press ESC until the program exits :)06:59
tuxd3v_Now functionality restored!! B-)07:01
tuxd3v_they got it working for debian buster, but not for bullseye07:13
tuxd3v_this is already something that comes after debian lenny.. omg..07:13
tuxd3v_see this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=58409807:13
tuxd3v_whiptail is also affected, not only lnewt(https://github.com/tuxd3v/lnewt)..07:15
tuxd3v_and exist in the package a old patch 'debian/patches/escape_key.patch' precisley for this, but I only found out now..07:16
tuxd3v_but they haven't applied that patch which means that whiptail will also come without some features..puff07:17
tuxd3v_I just compiled it without patch but with the line that I discovered was missing, and updated libnewt .so shared library in /usr, after compiled lnewt again...smooth sailing..!!07:18
tuxd3v_I noticed before that the way libraries were compiled changed, probably they ended removing a patch target or so, from Makefile..07:20
tuxd3v_time to sleep now, too late here, and I start to count pixels in the screen o.007:29
tuxd3v_but resuming, I need to open a bug, and link that bugreport above, so that they bring the patchs to the package..07:31
tuxd3v_I am back :)19:09
onefangWelcome back.19:10
tuxd3v_onefang, many thanks :)19:10
tuxd3v_dooes any one knows why we are being disconected to many times?19:10
tuxd3v_I receive a message, about "scanning for vulnerabilities.." or ro, and some moments after I am disconected..19:11
tuxd3v_ro -> so19:12
tuxd3v_I mean.. on freenode :)19:18
golinuxThat's not happening here19:45
tuxd3v_yesterday it happened to me 3 times :)20:00
tuxd3v_that's why I neded with the "_" appended to my user :D20:01
onefangIt's called a tail.20:04
tuxd3v_probably it still has todo with the massive patching they were doing some days ago..20:04
tuxd3v_onefang, yeah, they put a tail on me :D20:04
onefangThis year I often get network dropouts that affect other things besides IRC, happening in the early morning hours.  But nothing specific to IRC.20:05
tuxd3v_yeah yesterday, was a dropout fest, with my network operator, also facing a lot of problems in their infraestructure.. I got without network some 4 hours..20:28
tuxd3v_I use LTE(4G), later in the day I managed to connect via 3G very weak signal, later they restablished 4G, and now it seems stable..20:29
onefangThe "scanning for vulnerabilities.." bit is what Freenode does when you connect.20:36
tuxd3v_sent a mail directly to 'mckinstry@debian.org' to try to fix libnewt..20:55
tuxd3v_onefang, that would sugest that I had disconnected a lot of times yesterday...it could be, disconnect and reconnect several times..20:56
tuxd3v_since I also experienced problems with my provider..20:56
onefangTry a manual reconnect and see for yourself.20:57
