add a new module based on pulsectl, with pulsein for microphone and
pulseout for speakers.
should eventually become a drop-in replacement for pasink and pasource.
see #917
This reverts commit 72a888748e, reversing
changes made to d57ef9364a.
This merge causes really high CPU load if using both pasink and
pasource, because those two modules trigger each other, and there's not
a terrible lot I can do about that, unfortunately.
* initialize first line of output earlier (before modules are
initialized, so that module/thread output cannot interfere)
* make sure that update and draw are protected against concurrent access
attempting a different tack: Reduce the amount of draws that are being
emitted by the pulseaudio module to max. 2/s. That hopefully increases
reactivity and at the same time keeps flickering to a minimum.

Added a second check for indications of possible change of public IP address since netifaces does not properly handle all Linux routing tables (ref: http://linux-ip.net/html/routing-tables.html) which can lead to changes being missed if only looking at defauilt route. Consequently an additional check for changes to the network interface names/numbers was added to further help in identifying potentially notable changes. Note that netifaces is no longer being maintained so the underlying issue with its handling of gateways is unlikely to be resolved (https://github.com/al45tair/netifaces). An alternative would be to use direct calls to the OS like 'ip route list table all' (note the difference to 'ip route list all') but this might lead to unpredicatble results between distributions/flavours so probably best to stick with a library for now. all') but this might lead to unpredicatble results between distributions/flavours so probably best to stick with a library for now.
Introduced time.sleep(2) following calls to util.location.reset() since it can take util.location a while to update following a call to .reset() which can cause calls to .location_info() to return unpredicatable/unuseful results.
Falls in the "meant well, but doesn't really make sense" category: When
the volume exceeds 100%, the widget was shown in "critical" state. Some
headsets, audio cards, etc. do require a high volume setting, however.
And anyhow, it's really up to the user.
fixes#913
add a boolean flag ("adjust") to redshift that allows the user to have
bumblebee-status actually perform the color adjustment (by invoking
redshift in "one-shot" node).
Note that this only updates the color value each time the redshift
module is updated (every 10s, by default), and likely will collide with
any running redshift process.
fixes#908
Added location_info() to util/location API to return a dict of all location information. Updated modules/contrib/publicip to use that API. Changed modules/contrib/publicip refresh period back to 60 minutes. Changed /util/location API from 'country_name' back to 'name'
Added another API endpoint, Added options to display country name, country code, city name and lat/long coordinates, attempt to handle failure to fetch info from API endpoints cleanly
I run the same bumblebee-status configuration on my laptop and my
workstation. On my laptop, the upower module works fine: it says "ac"
when plugged in, charging, all that stuff is great.
But on my workstation, it's completely broken: it thinks there's a
battery (which is a mistake: there is no battery at all, apart maybe
from the CMOS battery, but that's not covered by upower), and it
thinks it's discharged, which makes a very noisy warning in the bar.
Now maybe there's something wrong with dbus, Debian, the kernel,
Linux, or some thing else in the stack. All I know is that
`self.power.get_display_device()` returns something like a valid
dbus object here and from there it confuses the heck out of the
module.
So this just adds a function to check if the actual device we're
talking about is actually present, and bails earlier otherwise.
Before: battery logo and "0% 00:00m!", all marked as critical ("red")
After: "ac" with the plugged in logo, not marked critical ("black")
* util.popup requires tkinter to be installed (in order to display
popups). As most people will probably use the default configuration
of the pulseaudio module (where the popup is disabled) and in order
to avoid breaking existing setups, we catch import errors and just log
them.
* added possibility to show currently selected default device in the
statusbar (default: off)
* allows to override the left mouse button click with a different
action (e.g open popup menu to change the current default device)
