Hey,

Trying to compile Xnee on Solaris 10.
I have tried xnee-3.11 and xnee-3.10 and I am running into the same issue in both
I am running 

./configure --disable-xinput2

The error I am getting is

There are no other errors in the listing above these.
Any help will be great appreciated.

Thanks

BTW, 3.02 is quite old (2007).
Try 3.11 (latest, Dec 16 2011) instead:
   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/xnee/xnee-3.11.tar.gz


3.11 seems to be on its way to Fedora:

Hi Jake,

 What version of Xnee are you using?

 I don't think VNC should interfere.

 I don't have access to a Solaris machine which will make it a bit hard
to get things working. Well well.. can you send the following to this list:

 xdpyinfo

 cnee printouts (both stdout and stderr)

Help on Solaris

Jake Colman — 2011-11-29T17:24:22

I am trying to use xnee on SPARC Solaris 10 using Sun Studio 12.

In order to have configure complete successfully (but with a warning
that it could not find libgnomeui-2.0), I used the following
command-line:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/xnee --disable-gnome-applet --disable-xinput2

I successfully compiled cnee and xnee.

I am trying out examples in Section 2.1 of the manual and am having
problems the very simple recording session of Section 2.1.2.  I start
cnee as directed and after 5 seconds it says it's recording.  But no
matter what I type in the editor in second xterm nothing gets recorded.
I'm sure I am missing something obvious but what is it?

Incidentally, I am using XVNC to access my XServer.  But xpyinfo does
show that I have what it needs.

Thanks.

"Workaround: Creating context on data display insteadof control"

Li Liang-W22733 — 2011-08-31T02:36:16

Hi,

 

When I run an cnee command, it prompted me that "Workaround: Creating
context on data display instead of control", and when I ran the replay
command, it showed nothing except the same information "Workaround:
Creating context on data display instead of control", 

 

Is it an issue? How to prevent it?  The issue means we only can see the
context on data display not the real control, right? but the context on
data is different to understand.

Re: Questions about the record and replay the whole Xprotocol on xnee

Henrik Sandklef — 2011-07-23T09:55:19

Recording is possible.

Replay in Xnee is done via XTest, so only device events are possible to
replay.

"Replaying" of non device events wouldn't make much sense though. All
non device events are results of the device events (well. not entirely
true). When you click a button you ask X to do something via the APIs.
It could be to show a picture. Then when the X server is done doing this
it sends an event to the client to tell that it's ready. What good would
it be to fake this event ... without having actually shown the picture.
Faking all requests (sent by the client, via the X APIs) would be
possible to implement but time consuming.


Then you better look at tools such as istanbul or recordmydesktop.



No, there is not.


You probably have to implement a new X server or extension to do this.


Read the Xnee manual, check "7.4.3 Replay", for info about the file


But please, feel free to ask questions on the public mailing lists :)

does xnee replay other X data than mouse and keyboard events?

natalia84 — 2011-07-08T12:51:43

Good afternoon,

I need to record the whole  X protocol for a late replay. I noticed that
cnee is able to record and replay just the mouse and the keyboard events. I
need the replay of the whole recorded protocol ( window creation, gc
creation, pixmaps creation, draw X). In fact my purpose is to obtain a kind
of video while replaying, to have exactly the same windows created, the same
content that i had on my desktop when I was recording.
I made my tests on xnee 3.08, on command line (cnee). I'm using Ubuntu
10.10.

Can you please tell me if there is a version or a xnee project  that would
be able to replay not only the events, but also the queries and other
protocol data?

If not, can you please give me some advice in order to arrive to make my
recording and replaying?
I would like also to have more development details(the structure of the
output file) or some more advanced  cnee examples (because in the manual
there are few and are using only the mouse and keyboard events).

Thank you a lot for your answe

1. Record (what data do you record?)

Will Xnee run shorter/longer than 10 seconds?


You mean replay to a Xephyr window?
Did you record in Xephyr as well?


I am not sure I understand this.. Do you want to measure how long time
cnee executed?


You can do the scrrenshooting from within Xnee with the following options:
--exec-key,-ek <key>
--exec-program-key,-ep <programname>

 Start a script that
 * sleeps 10 seconds
 * imports screen

This script can be used when replaying as well.

Replaying cnee file the same amount of time thanrecorded file ?

Javier Barroso — 2011-02-22T18:33:53

There is an feature wishlist which I would like to say:

cnee --record -o file --seconds-to-record 10 # click on an link in
your favourite browser and doesn't move anymore your mouse
cnee --replay -f file # cnee won't run 10 seconds, so if you want to
use import and then kill Xephyr, you will to measure how many time run
cnee and sleep x seconds before you can use import (from imagemagick).
Imagine you want to get an screenshots after 10 seconds you clicked
last time.

Could be an option --even-not-event added to --replay option ?

NOTE: When recording multiple devices on one display and replay to
another display while using XI (and not core devices) Xnee  has no good
way of finding which recorded device id belongs to which replayed device
id. Basically Xnee uses the same id as "xinput --list" spits out when
recording and tries to find it when replaying. Perhaps Xnee will use the
strings AND id in the future... let's see about that... at least you
know now.
