DEBIAN or debian in .deb package?

  • 5

I am experimenting with creating a .deb package and am unsure about the file structure of a package. Is the directory that contains control, changelog, rules, etc supposed to be named DEBIAN or debian?

I am using dpkg-deb to package it, and it seems to require DEBIAN, and I am trying to use Lintian to check it, and it isn't recognizing the changelog or copyright files. Lintian throws the errors debian-changelog-file-missing and no-copyright-file but later warns unknown-control-file changelog and unknown-control-file copyright. Looking at this page, it suggests using debian, and I rename the directory to that but it causes dpkg-deb to fail. Reading through the Debian Policy Manual, it usually uses debian in examples, but occasionally uses DEBIAN, which makes me wonder if in certain circumstances both may be needed. What is the right way to do this?

Runuser missing w option

  • 0

I am trying to get genie up and running on WSL 2 (Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS) and am running into an issue where runuser was given the w option by genie but runuser sees that as an invalid option. This man page shows that it exists, but this Ubuntu man page doesn't have the w option.

Is there a reason why it is not included in Ubuntu's version of runuser? Also is there a way to workaround this issue? What is recommended in this situation?

How to Get Taskbar Size and Position with Python

  • 5

I am developing a module with Python, and I would like to figure out a way to get the monitor resolution minus the taskbar without any user interaction and preferably in a way that doesn't interfere with the visual interface. If I can just get the taskbar size and position, I can simply subtract it from the monitor resolution easily. However, I cannot seem to find a way.

In Windows, I am able to use the win32api module and use GetMonitorInfo to get the monitor resolution. However, I have yet to figure out some way to do this in Ubuntu, or Linux in general. If you also have a way to do this in macOS, that would be nice to know as well, but is not necessary for this question.

I would like to support as many desktop environments as possible, but I realize how difficult it would be to do so, since each one may have their own solution. Considering this, I would prefer to start with these desktop environments:

  • KDE
  • XFCE
  • Gnome
  • Cinnamon

If this requires some external programs to get it, I would prefer to use something that comes with the desktop environment or operating system.
