Xeyes (and Xclock) FTW ...

this should replace xeyes...

Sorry, xclock is not good enough. I need at least xeyes to work.

Xeyes revisited

hbbio | karma 2724 | avg karma 5.15 · | 2024-06-26 11:27:05

Was going to say that!

I should still have a screenshot somewhere of lesstif/mwm with xsnow + xeyes (and xclock of course)

You can run xeyes as it was meant to be run.

Curious that this doesn't sound compatible with X, but in the screenshot there's certainly something that looks like xeyes and xclock running.

Closest I can think of is xeyes.

xeyes can check that too, without killing the application.

Of all the apps in the upper left, I still to this day use xload and xclock. Xeyes was always kind of pointless to me. And xbiff is meaningless in today's world of email saturation.

What kind of issues does "xeyes" help you troubleshoot?

ken | karma 11187 | avg karma 3.69 · | 2008-03-03 14:14:26

xeyes web 2.0 edition.

bch | karma 4139 | avg karma 2.83 · | 2019-08-16 16:06:01+00:00

Ha! Yes! I used to call xeyes a network testing tool.

Proud xeyes user here.

Have you tried duc for disk usage? It's minimal and has a nice visualizer.

Yeah! Especially X - that's a pretty amazing X implementation!

dorfsmay | karma 5069 | avg karma 2.45 · | 2022-04-01 23:37:03

I did the xeyes test, and you are right, it is XWayland, but then so are Gimp and Thunderbird.

vetinari | karma 8298 | avg karma 1.82 · | 2023-03-01 06:14:17

We didn't have xauth either; our fun was xeyes.

gwen-shapira | karma 57 | avg karma 1.19 · | 2023-10-25 13:11:40

Noted :) I was checking out Xorm last night. It looks awesome!

rnhmjoj | karma 2318 | avg karma 4.24 · | 2021-03-14 15:22:52+00:00

All the old X apps used xrdb, to some degree. I think of xclock, xbiff, xditview, xcalc, bitmap, etc.
