Topic: [solved] hide cursor

I can't hide the cursor, for example the -Y option in feh doesn't work, I've also tried using xbanish but the cursor still doesn't disappear. Is the same thing happening to you, or do I have some configuration that prevents me from hiding the cursor?

Re: [solved] hide cursor

Hello,

there are more details needed when you want to analyze the problem: I can only state  that feh in combination works absolutely fine using fluxbox. Tested for the version 3.10.3 from repository testing.

You can also tryout to build the package your own when using stable: https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packag … h/PKGBUILD

I am using jwm as wm and the feh version is 3.7-1.

So with the next update it should work.

Re: [solved] hide cursor

It should, yes. But you can also use the above linked packaging-script to build your own new version and test it now.

Re: [solved] hide cursor

I never did, what do I have to do ..

1- pacman -S base-devel

2- download the script

3- makepkg

4- makepkg -s

I have to uninstall the old package, right?

Re: [solved] hide cursor

Oh no, first things first: You do not have to remove the old package. smile You just need to download the PKGBUILD-script in a folder of your choice. Then change within using for sure your chosen terminal-session and execute:

makepkg -s

And yes: The package-group base-devel is here your best friend. After compilation of your package:

doas pacman -U feh 3.10.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.lz

Or the corresponding name for 32bit. If you want to look more deep into the packaging-process: https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … e_creation

Re: [solved] hide cursor

It seems to me if I have installed the package correctly 

[~] feh -v
feh version 3.10.3
Compile-time switches: curl exif inotify help stat64 verscmp xinerama

but the cursor continues not disappearing.

I can also install these missing dictionaries?

hunspell-es
hunspell-it-IT

Re: [solved] hide cursor

Hmm, seems different for jwm, but that needs another review then. For the dictionaries: Sure thing.

The problem was not FEH was JWM.
