What kind of issues does "xeyes" help you troubleshoot?
- myself248 5y agoIt's a program with no blocking I/O, so if the eyes stop moving, you know you're looking at a certain kind of connectivity issue. If some more complicated app stops responding, the problem space of where to start troubleshooting is much larger. If you miiiiight have a flaky network, leaving xeyes open in the corner can be a real headache-saver.
- timidger 5y agoI use it to check if an app uses xwayland when I use sway
- rwmj 5y agoI use xeyes as a kind of "is remote X working" test. Quick way to test that X forwarding through ssh is functional and fast enough.
