- [SOLVED] xdg-desktop-portal.service not working after update (2026/06/21 21:45)About the sway situation, check /etc/sway/config.d/50-systemd-user.conf and find end command that's supposed to start the targetexec systemctl --user set-environment XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway && \ systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY \ SWAYSOCK \ WAYLAND_DISPLAY \ XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP && touch /tmp/wtf.1.proof \ systemctl --user start sway-session.target && touch /tmp/wtf.2.proof and see whether either /tmp/wtf.*.proof is created (this is unrelated to the xdg-desktop-portal update)
- Displaycal and python 3.14 (2026/06/21 21:13)Hold on, File "/home/glen/Projects/displaycal-py3/.venv/lib/python3.14Why is this is running in a venv?
- Garbled, distorted screens after login (2026/06/21 18:51)The only relevant bit out of this is jun 21 17:23:31 archekpy kwin_wayland[1377]: Failed to compile fragment shader: and it's not even clear whether that's relevant to what stage of your problem.* How do you login?* What's the output of "qdbus6 org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation" while the output is "garbled" and after fixing it?* Can you link a photo to illustrate the situation?
- Can't double-click to open in GTK file selector (Firefox, GIMP, etc.) (2026/06/21 18:38)Wild guess, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=313883 ?
- Skiko RenderException: Cannot create OpenGL context (2026/06/21 14:49)Well yeah, that's X11, the log up to date and reflects the absent APU.Shit.https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJ … age-updateDoes using the "-Dskiko.renderApi=SOFTWARE" parameter allow you to switch the backend or do you still get comments about OpenGL?

- kwin_wayland aborts when opening Kicad schematic editor (2026/06/21 10:45)I believe this bug prevents plasmashell from starting. Downgrading kwin to version 6.6.5-4 fixes the issue.
- Blender crashes on startup when using Vulkan backend (2026/06/21 08:21)As of spirv-tools 1:1.4.350.1-1 I no longer have this issue, and https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/6712 is marked as closed. I think we can consider this problem solved, unless one of you is still encountering the same issue
- i3 wm using different "style" (2026/06/21 07:52)Probably centralizing the colors in xrdb, https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#xresources and change the xrdb and reload the i3 configeven terms colors change by the settingsThat will heavily depend on the terminal being used by there're ANSII sequences to change (some) colors of xterm and urxvt and others might expose the theme configuration eg. via dbusYou're aware of tools like https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-pywal/ ?
- good backup program? (2026/06/20 19:46)This might be a good point to reinforce the following. A backup is not a backup unless it is tested. A system is not backed up unless there is a backup that is not on site.
- High CPU usage from kwin_wayland after Plasma 6.7 upgrade (2026/06/20 19:10)qdbus6 org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation glxinfo -BDoes intel_gpu_top suggest the IGP is being utilized?
- [SOLVED] After update flameshot is now not taking screenshots. (2026/06/20 18:48)For anyone who ended up here from a search, since this thread was my top result:For me, the /.config/flameshot/ folder was nonexistent. Additionally, running pacman -S flameshot made pacman claim it was doing a fresh installation as opposed to reinstalling like it usually would. I'm not sure if one is related to the other or if the directory never existed to begin with. I was launching flameshot via shell script, so I hadn't bothered with the config until now.Recreating the directory, flameshot.ini, and adding useX11LegacyScreenshot=true worked as described by H3g3m0n. Thank you.
- Shift+Left/Right arrow key used to select characters in terminal. (2026/06/20 12:19)I think I am using bash shell.It does, When I first installed arch, shift select did use to work in terminal.Check and also what TE is this?cat /proc/$$/cmdline cat /proc/$PPID/cmdlineIs the default behavior for the shift+arrow key combination to select the text towards right or left?In bash? No. In fish might be (I honestly don't know) and for zsh there're zle commands that can be scripted.What you're asking isn't really the default anywhere and you're also running into copy/paste issues.If anything some specific GUI terminal emulator would have intercepted the keys (and you would not get any input on the shell then, but this can cause problems w/ shell processes, eg. vim)When I first installed arch, shift select did use to work in terminal.Is this arch-archlinux or manjaro-archlinux or cachy-archlinux…?
- KDE Plasma login sound fails to play automatically / delayed due to sy (2026/06/20 10:12)Does this also happen if you use the plasma login manager that KDE sees as the successor of sddm ?
