Oh no, it's me again. The same problem as before, version 2.5.2, everything is enabled to launch on startup but still nothing!

Describe the bug
The app is using a lot of RAM (5GB as of writing this) doing nothing, since I started it I haven't suspended any application.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start the app.
2. Do nothing for several hours.

Expected behavior
Not to use so much RAM.

I am using Ubuntu 20.04. Nyrna can suspend Slack, but it pops up a window saying that there is an error when I try to resume it. Screenshot:

Describe the bug
Nyrna fails to suspend Kdenlive rendering activity, although it does minimize the associated windows.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1: Open system monitor
2: Open a project in Kdenlive
3: Observe CPU activity/processes while using nyrna to suspend Kdenlive activity (both the rendering window and the app)
4: Note that the process "melt" which is the Kdenlive rendering is still active and consuming CPU resources.

Expected behavior
Kdenlive would pause rendering and CPU usage would be dramatically reduced

I'm on Xubuntu 22.04, running Punch Planet (using Proton) through Steam. Suspending & resuming Punch Planet usually works fine. Occasionally, though, I get this error.

Note that it doesn't actually name Punch Planet in the error message. To my knowledge, also, Punch Planet does not use Easy Anti-Cheat.

Since it builds through Snapcraft it doesn't get the VERSION file the other builds do..

Hi Merrit

Fantastic app, put through donation. Not a bug, but rather a feature request or directions on how I could make changes myself if possible? Would like to create a pitch black Background with just the writing visible for the app, as I use it with an OLED TV on a pitch black background, and have the app permanently sitting open on my desktop.

Thanks
Tony Birt

Describe the bug
I tried to open games like Forza motorsport 7 and Forza Horizon 4, and it didn't appear in the list, I started it as administrator and it didn't work either, I closed everything, and then I opened nyrna, then I opened the game and it didn't work either, but mortal kombat 11 which is a pirate game from gamestorrent if it appeared--pd.I used the google translator, I'm from Mexico xd

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. open nyrna as admin or not
2. open games of xbox app (game pass)
3. games don't listed

Expected behavior
I do not know if the problem is that the games of the xbox application of the game pass do not work in nyrna.

Software (please complete the following information):

• OS: windows 10
  nyrna 2.2.0

Running Nyrna v2.6.0 on Linux Mint 20.3, the Steam window shows up as N/A with PID 0. (Note that this is the version of Steam provided by Mint's package manager, not the Flatpak version.) Additionally, while some Steam games (such as the Linux version of Dusk and the Windows version of Alan Wake under Proton 7.0) do show non-zero PIDs and can be suspended by Nyrna, some others (such as the Linux version of Detention) are identified as PID 0 as well.

I should have guessed that suspending Detention wouldn't work, but I tried anyway and it froze my desktop. I avoided a hard reset by logging out with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but of course that closed all of my programs. The same happens if I try to suspend Steam itself (via the N/A entry).

Based on the comments in #13, I realize that programs may show up as PID 0 due to issues that cannot be fixed on Nyrna's end. However, if trying to suspend such processes is likely to cause problems, then I would say they shouldn't be clickable. Maybe the specific desktop-freezing issue I'm experiencing when I click a PID 0 entry is a quirk of Linux Mint or Cinnamon, and maybe the result would be different on another Linux distro or desktop environment, but at best I assume it would do nothing — that is, I assume Nyrna can't actually suspend a program if it erroneously believes the PID is 0. If my assumption is right, then making PID 0 entries unclickable (or not displaying them at all) is probably a good idea.

Windows Hotkey is not actually working (or it works... sometimes?) I tried with the method suggested of setting a hotkey in a windows shortcut and adding the -t flag. Nyrna seems to open an instance when pressing the combination and closes immediately, but the foreground application isn't suspended. In some cases I did manage to get it to suspend, but pressing the hotkey again doesn't resume the process. Also tried created an AutoHotkey script to manage the hotkey but got the exact same result. It almost feels like Nyrna suspending itself and then closing itself, some kind of timing issue, I don't know.

Tested with Notepad, Microsoft Word, Game Super Meat Boy. Same inconsistent results.

Hi!

When trying to use Nyrna with Hunt: Showdown I get this message in return

"There was a problem interacting with HuntGame.exe"

What's expected

Pressing the Pause key pauses the foreground app

What happens

Pressing the Pause key freezes Nyrna

Steps to reproduce

• Open Nyrna
• Switch to the app one wants to pause
• Press the Pause key

Workarounds

I'll just keep using the previous version for the time being

System Info:

OS: Endeavour OS
Kernel: Linux-ck-zen 5.7.2
DE: GNOME 3.36.3
Python: 3.8.3

The previous one-file script version of Nyrna worked beautifully when assigning the hotkey through GNOME's setting panel, however this new version with PyGUI not only does not work (it does not pause the foreground application), but even manages to freeze itself, which is kinda funny not gonna lie.

Anyway, here's the terminal output up until the point where it dies, if you need more info let me know!
What I did was open Nyrna on one terminal and on a different terminal I opened GLXGears, and tried to pause that.

It will be helpful if there are a lot of instances of the same application.

I was trying to build the new version for the AUR but got this error during flutter pub get:

Because test >=1.20.0 depends on test_api 0.4.9 and test >=1.19.4 <1.20.0 depends on test_api 0.4.8, test >=1.19.4 requires test_api 0.4.8 or 0.4.9.
And because every version of flutter_test from sdk depends on test_api 0.4.3, flutter_test from sdk is incompatible with test >=1.19.4.
So, because nyrna depends on both flutter_test from sdk and test ^1.19.5, version solving failed.
Running "flutter pub get" in nyrna...                                   
pub get failed (1; So, because nyrna depends on both flutter_test from sdk and test ^1.19.5,
version solving failed.)

I was able to compile it correctly changing the version to:

-  test: ^1.19.5
+  test: ^1.17.9

Maybe I'm missing something here so here we are 😄 Btw I'm on flutter stable branch.

Unfortunately even with the option toggled to launch at system startup nothing happens on a fresh boot. This is also after using Revo Uninstaller to clean every part of old Nyrna builds off of the system.

Functionality is thankfully normal when the app is started manually, however.

After executing it, nothing happens except the system monitor saying it's running. Executing it twice gives a notification error that the pause key is already bind so this means everything is good and running but I have no access to change the hotkey because I am using gnome and there is nothing like a system tray icon or gnome extension.

I can't test the pause function because I am using a laptop that doesn't have this button and I can't change the hotkeys because there is no menu or etc I can access.

OS: Pop!_OS 20.04 (Gnome3.36.3)

It would be great to allow the user to pause multiple applications at the same time. Currently, when I pause an application and then try to pause another one, the first one always gets unpaused.

I was thinking, what is the best way to install the current Nyrna to the Linux system? I mean, I know I can just take a portable.zip and extract it to the /usr/share/nyrna and then create symlinks to executables in /usr/bin, but what about toggle_active_window? Shouldn't it be at least renamed to nyrna-toggle or shouldn't a launch parameter like nyrna --toggle be considered to replace this?

It used to work but now I can't even open it. I've tried re-installing and going back to older versions. The only new thing I did was install 0&0 ShutUp10++ so idk if that has anything to do with it.

Hi and thank you again for the useful tool. It would be nice for the app to refresh a sec after hotkey is used. Also on window restore from tray or taskbar.

Describe the bug
Programs listed in Nyrna are only in the current desktop. A program in a second virtual desktop does not show in Nyrna

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create 2nd desktop
2. Open program in 2nd desktop or move a current program to 2nd desktop
3. Start Nyrna
4. Program in 2nd desktop not showing.

Expected behavior
Expected to see all programs running

Describe the bug
Resuming a game app will not work correctly all the time. But I cannot identify a specific pattern or cause. This only uncommonly happens (maybe once every 20 suspend/resumes?). Not sure. Only clue I have is the log.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Suspend app in Nyrna
2. Resume app in Nyrna
3. Status of app stays "orange" (suspended) despite several clicks. I've also tried manually refreshing by turning off auto refresh.
4. Open Resource Monitor of Windows 10.
5. Resume then suspend app in Resource Monitor.
6. Go back to Nyrna and resume app.
7. Now app is resumed correctly.

Expected behavior
Expect app to resume without using Resource Monitor.

I think this executable name error is causing this.

Downloading and running either of the Windows builds results in Windows 10 Defender flagging them as a trojan.

Presumably a false positive.

I noticed that Nyrna binary is compiled with glibc version 2.32. When I try to run it I get error:

./nyrna: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./nyrna)

because I use glibc-2.31 which is stable in my system. It is not big deal for me, because I compile Nyrna myself from source. I just wanted to let you know that glibc-2.32 is not stable in all distributions yet.

Apologies. Not sure how I ended up here. Didn't mean to open this.

Hello and Thanks for writing such a good tool. 🙇
I check for all files i download for viruses by checking it at Https://www.Virustotal.com
I uploaded the windows .exe file of Nyrna 2.4.1(https://github.com/Merrit/nyrna/releases/download/v2.4.1/Nyrna-Windows-Installer.exe)
It showed 2 security vendors out of 68 and 1 sandbox flagged this file as malicious.
Can you please look into it. 👀
From what i have read, this is a fantastic tool, i just don't want it to be tagged as malicious without your notice/oversight.
Just wanted to let you know. :)

Would it be possible for Nyrna to automatically suspend a specific app/game whenever it's minimized?

It would be nice if on windows you could add a checkbox in the settings that allows you to clear the working set when you suspend the program.

Describe the bug
Executing shortcut runs Nyrna normally. But I need to run as administrator for my games to suspend. If I try to run the program by adding a task in Task Scheduler, Nyrna only shows a white screen within its window. I use task scheduler because I want Nyrna to run as administrator at startup.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to task scheduler
2. Make a task to run Nyrna with highest privileges (I made one to run on log on)
3. Run task manually to test
4. White screen in Nyrna window

Expected behavior
I expect Nyrna to show the running programs as it is usually does when executing the shortcut from the start menu.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Software (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 20H2
• Nyrna v2.0-beta.1

Additional context
If I copy the Nyrna shortcut to the Startup menu, it will run at startup. But I can't run it as administrator. My games won't suspend unless Nyrna is run as administrator.

I don't know, how is tray icon handled, but I would prefer a white colour to fit my theme. Is this icon hardcoded or it will adapt to icon-theme, when it finds a suitable icon?

#EDIT
I guess it's hardcoded, right?

I was told Nyrna had a keyboard shortcut for pausing the current tab, and that it was rebindable, but I do not see this in the version I downloaded. couldi t be this was an earlier function that was removed?

First of thanks a lot for making this app available for Linux. It only supports X11/xorg. Do you have any plan to support it under wayland in future? Are their in any difficulties to support it under wayland?

Again, thanks for the app.

I get this message when trying to suspend apex legends, Merrit can you help me out or maybe an explanation why I'm getting this message? Thanks.
I'm new to GitHub so this probably doesn't even count as a bug, but it is a issue I can't seem to find out.

https://imgur.com/a/QB4Bqly

This is the portable version.

Would it be possible to set this up to suspend the active window with a hotkey press? Binding it to something like alt+f3 would be really useful to suspend a running game, for instance.

Great program btw, I'm always finding it very useful as-is.

Describe the bug
If you were to pass an argument that isn't currently handled by Nyrna you'll end up with a blank application window and an error in your console.

To Reproduce
Pass an argument to Nyrna and view its output. For example nyrna --help

Expected behavior
For Nyrna to exit gracefully with an error message indicating that argument is unknown

Great work on Nyrna btw! Quite a handy tool

When I try to suspend the game Deathloop, the spinner of the nyrna application freezes and the deathloop process gets suspended, but is non responsive. The green circle does not turn orange, and I cannot click the item again in nyrna. I then have to kill the deathloop process after witch nyrna app shows an error.
I'm using the Epic game launcher, and I know Deathloop uses Denuvo DRM.

The Flutter re-write for 2.0 should include a Windows version.

Well, On eng keyboard layout everything good and works, but when I switch to russian (probably any other) pausing (and resuming) don't works

When suspending a game Steam still thinks it is running and therefore logs hours played, I am unsure if this is possible to fix, if it isn't please close this issue.

Hi! Thanks for the tool.
I'm on Windows 10. Wrong name is given to dwm.exe process. Here's screenshot:
https://yadi.sk/i/yAtq5MhV-Mvtbw

It would be nice to filter out all processes with %WINDIR% path included.

P.S.

Your app is a good start. Give it a watchdog function with profiled idle automation and publish it in a steam store. It can be a bomb. Very useful with single player games.

Is it possible to suspend by process id? For example nyrna -p $(pidof RDR2.exe).

Wanted to say first of all great job Kristen, it had been a while since I used Nyrna and I love how nice and simple the Windows UI!

Could really get a lot of use out of being able to rebind the keyboard shortcut as I'm trying to create a Steam controller profile that does everything my keyboard does. I've made awesome progress, the only problem is Steam's controller API doesn't allow use of the Pause key. And using Nyrna with a controller would be great since I find it primarily useful for gaming!

The tool does not work with Flatpak'd apps. The notification is shown saying the app was suspended, but the app is not actually suspended. Pressing the hotkey again does not trigger the resumed notification. Pressing the key a third shows the suspended notification again.

I'm not sure if any process is actually being suspended. Monitoring all processes using Gnome's System Monitor does not list any process with a status of Stopped.

I haven't tried yet if games started by the Flatpak version of Steam work, since I reverted to using Steam installed on the system due to other issues.

Tested on Fedora 32 - GNOME 3.36

I am on Linux, Xfce.
In the Xfce's preferences I set the notifications timeout duration to six second, and in facts, the notifications of Nyrna respects this settings. However would be useful to have a way to increase the timeout/duration of Nyrna's notifications, to remember that an application has been paused; furthermore such notification could be also improved by display the time of when the application has been paused.

auto suspend whitelisted exe files on minimizing them in w10

This is due to Flutter not having implemented automatically propagating the version number from the pubspec: flutter/flutter#73652

This can be manually fixed by editing windows/runner/Runner.rc and updating the VERSION_AS_NUMBER and VERSION_AS_STRING lines.

#ifdef FLUTTER_BUILD_NUMBER
#define VERSION_AS_NUMBER FLUTTER_BUILD_NUMBER
#else
#define VERSION_AS_NUMBER 1,1,1,2
#endif

#ifdef FLUTTER_BUILD_NAME
#define VERSION_AS_STRING #FLUTTER_BUILD_NAME
#else
#define VERSION_AS_STRING "1.1.1.2"
#endif

This could probably be automated in the build script.

Currently failures provide little-to-no information.

When a suspend / resume fails, provide the user with information about why (error if possible), as well as common reasons for failure (eg Anti-Cheat, with link to check if a game uses that).
