I’ve set a very gentle goal of (currently) 12 hours per week. I’ve set up Beeminder to automatically suck down how much time I spend writing (on my Mac only RescueTime doesn’t support iOS). I’ve told RescueTime which websites and apps are actually tools I use to write. What I thought I would get when I started using RescueTime was a picture of how I “wasted” my time, and ways to help me stop doing that. I didn’t want to as a (failed) employee, I hated bosses who actually kept track of how much time I worked because - well, because I spent so much time off in my head in the stories I never wrote down.īut now, I’m a boss with an employee (me) who spends her time off in her head in the stories she doesn’t write down - or rather, the stories she hasn’t yet written down. The issue is totally fixed in the latest RT linux beta 2.8.5.964.I’ve gritted my teeth, and started using RescueTime. 870 it seems this variable overwritten by. In beta 2.8.5.896, this variable was changed from milliseconds to seconds, causing the RT linux client to check active windows only intermittently instead of every few seconds.

UPDATE Jan 2014: Rescuetime support tracked down the bug - the problem was related to the variable url_from_plugin_delay in the configuration file rescuetimed.cfg Has anyone else out there in Internet-land had a similar issue with the Rescuetime client in Archlinux? Note that the Debian system I tested RescueTime on doesn't use systemd and dbus but rather sysvinit for init scripts and managing services. As a control, I tested 2.8.5.870 (stable) and 2.8.5.896 (beta) on a Debian machine running linux kernel 3.9 and the RT client worked just fine, correctly logging time spent in all applications, be they local or browser-based. I don't think any of the packages above should have anything to do with the RT client, and I don't want to roll back all these packages just to check. Youtube-dl (download Youtube videos from CLI) Tevent (event system based on the talloc memory management library) The 30 packages (not including the kernel) upgraded were:Ĭifs-utils (mounting Samba shares in Linux) None of the dependencies of rescuetime (qt4, xorg-xprop, xprintidle) were affected, however.

Isolating the package(s) that might be causing this behavior is a big headache, because between 2013.11.29 ~ 2013.12.05 I upgraded 23 packages on my Archlinux install according to /var/log/pacman.log The old version which used to work no longer did! With great anticipation, I installed the old version and.

5th, RescueTime tech support gave me a download link to 2.8.1.865 which had worked for me prior to Nov. This failed to make any difference, however. Only after I upgraded to a newer beta 2.8.5.896 and noticed that the RT client still wasn't working did I update my system out of desperation, with upgrades to 7 packages as well as the linux kernel (from 3.12.1-1 -> 3.12.1-3) according to /var/log/pacman.log

Unfortunately I couldn't downgrade to 2.8.1.865 (which was the last version that worked for me) because the oldest version available on the Rescuetime site was now 2.8.5.870.īetween the upgrade from 2.8.1.865 to 2.8.5.890 and the downgrade to 2.8.5.870, none of the packages on my system changed. if the active window was Libreoffice Writer but I then launch a WINE app from the Openbox launch menu, the RT linux client will still think I'm in Libreoffice Writer while I'm playing my WINE game.Īnyways, I immediately downgraded to the current stable version 2.8.5.870 but it exhibited the same behavior as 2.8.5.890~896. Also if I launch a full-screen game through WINE or a program on another Xsession using xinit, the RT client keeps recording time in the last window that was active - i.e. if I launch a Virtualbox instance of Windows, the RT client records the time spent in the VM quite reliably. Oddly enough, time in non-active windows is recorded just fine - i.e. The client only recorded the first 2 or 3 minutes of usage in an active window, discarding the rest. I soon noticed that time tracking of active windows was no longer working properly. The problem began when I upgraded from RT linux client 2.8.1.865 to the current beta (which was 2.8.5.890 at the time) . 28, 2013 Rescuetime stopped working on one of my Archlinux installs with Openbox window manager and tint2 taskbar manager installed. In fact, I have had no problems with Rescuetime running on my Debian systems.

The local client that tracks the applications used and sites visited works on Windows, Mac OS and various linux distros. I've been a happy user of Rescuetime on linux for about 18 months.
