Hi, i installed a lot mashup of themes and no one app like lxtask and some flaptak app open Fatal IO error 11 (Recurso temporariamente indisponível) on X server :1. and Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE but i was fixed and now all work right.BUT. Sway composer and fluxbox (most damaged) are broken now. With apps closes without error and kde terminals never launcher.What need to fix this?EDIT: someone are affect by this in fedora, by nwg-look. I remember of change this and my system started broken. I believe that is have solution but idkSORRY COMMUNITY: i found this solution.Only delete: $HOME/.icons/default/index.theme

(Cross posted to KDE forums https://discuss.kde.org/t/plasma-freeze … uns/25848)I have a very frustrating problem where Plasma freezes completely such that none of the panels are interactive and their are stuck with their state exactly when they froze. The time does not update, etc. Pressing the Meta key which I have mapped to open the task launcher does not work. The only way to switch active windows is Alt-Tab or clicking the window, and the only way to launch new programs is with Alt-Space or typing them into a terminal window.Sometimes, but not always, my Brave browser ceases to allow you to switch between tabs, but this may be its own problem or a common cause, because this browser behavior can occur when plasma is not frozen.Plasma is not considered “crashed” and Dr. Konqui does not launch. Forcing a relaunch of plasmashell or kwin does NOT fix the problem.The problem shows up with both Wayland and X11 sessions.Operating System: Arch LinuxKDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0Qt Version: 6.8.0Kernel Version: 6.11.9-arch1-1 (64-bit)Graphics Platform: WaylandProcessors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core ProcessorMemory: 30.6 GiB of RAMGraphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2Manufacturer: ASUS

Hey!First, here is my config:Framework Laptop 13AMD Ryzen 7 7840U (Radeon 780M integrated graphics, no discrete graphics)64GB of RAM, 4GB swapSamsung 980 Pro SSD (it's fast)WaylandGNOME v47Running Linux 6.11.9-arch1-1(system is up to date)I have been having a really bad sporadic issue recently (I have been using this config for a year, the problems started a couple weeks ago). After seemingly random times of use (from 10 minutes to a few hours), the system graphics suddenly become extremely slow (the screen seems to refresh up to once per second). I can still move the cursor around, and the system seems to be otherwise responsive as for example when I spam backspace in GNOME terminal, I get audio feedback with no latency, and the audio in YouTube video remains perfectly smooth. Only restarting the computer has proven to be effective (sleep mode did not reset it, nor did logging out).When I open GNOME's system monitor while in degraded state, no abnormal usage can be seen: all cores appear mostly idle, I have more than 10GB of RAM still free, swap is not used, disk and network usage are low (mostly no data transfer).When I run radeontop to see GPU usage, the GPU is also mostly idle. The only suspicious thing is that it displays used VRAM to be more than 100% of the available VRAM (but the available VRAM amount it displays is 10% lower than what is given by `/sys/class/drm/card1/device/mem_info_vram_total`, and `/sys/class/drm/card1/device/mem_info_vram_used` is lower than that, so I'm not sure how reliable that data point is). Actually I just checked and it already does it outside of degraded mode.dmesg does not appear to report anything when the problem occurs. Next time it happens I'll try to save a copy of it.I have noticed that this tends to get triggered when I pause a fullscreen YouTube in Firefox, but I am not sure as the issue is so sporadic and watching videos is a large amount of the time I spend on this machine, it could just be a coincidence.I'm starting to run out of leads on what could be causing this. My next step is to enable the BIOS config that gives more VRAM (still not sure how this thing works, I enabled it once because not doing so caused video corruptions, it seems like it turned itself off somehow?!), but after that I really have no idea left. Does anyone have any other idea?Thanks for reading!

Dear all,I have been using RustDesk, in Gnome for around 1 year to access a computer remotely. It has always worked OK, but now when I try to connect to the remote computer, it says"WAYLAND Select the screen to be shared".Of course I cannot do this since the remote computer is miles away.Nevertheless I went in person, and I could see a Wayland message appeared in the remote computer about letting access, so I clicked yes, and it worked fine.But when I went away and tried to connect remotely, then Rustdesk did not work.It seems I need to be in person to select a screen, and this only works once. Once I go away it will not connect.I am also asking in Rustdesk, but this seems to be a Wayland issue. To the best of my knowledge I haven't changed anything.

I am aware that this topic is closely related to my issue but it didn't help me.My issue is that the workspace icons are displayed as workspace_number<workspace_icon> instead of just <workspace_icon>.It is not a bug but I just don't know how to achieve what I wish to.I tried this[module/workspaces] type = internal/xworkspaces pin-workspaces = true enable-click = true enable-scroll = true reverse-scroll = false spacing = 10 ws-icon-1 = "1;1" ws-icon-2 = "2;2" ws-icon-3 = "3;3" ws-icon-4 = "4;<thingamajing1>" ws-icon-5 = "5;<thingamajing2>" ws-icon-6 = "6;<thingamajing3>" ws-icon-7 = "7;<thingamajing4>" ws-icon-8 = "8;<thingamajing5>" ws-icon-9 = "9; <thingamajing6>" ws-icon-10 = "10;<thingamajing7>" label-active = %{F#8aadf4}%icon% %{F-} label-occupied = %{F#91d7e3}%icon% %{F-} label-urgent = %{F#ed8796}%icon% %{F-} label-empty = %{F#6e738d}%icon% %{F-}but I fell back to this config because the one where i tried using %icon% did not display anything, not the icon nor the number.[module/workspaces] type = internal/xworkspaces pin-workspaces = true enable-click = true enable-scroll = true reverse-scroll = false spacing = 10 ws-icon-1 = "1;1" ws-icon-2 = "2;2" ws-icon-3 = "3;3" ws-icon-4 = "4;<thingamajing1>" ws-icon-5 = "5;<thingamajing2>" ws-icon-6 = "6;<thingamajing3>" ws-icon-7 = "7;<thingamajing4>" ws-icon-8 = "8;<thingamajing5>" ws-icon-9 = "9; <thingamajing6>" ws-icon-10 = "10;<thingamajing7>" label-active = %{F#8aadf4}%name% %{F-} label-occupied = %{F#91d7e3}%name% %{F-} label-urgent = %{F#ed8796}%name% %{F-} label-empty = %{F#6e738d}%name% %{F-}Thank you guys in advance edit: in case it is not clear, thingamajings are placeholders for icons because I use FontAwesome4 and it probably would not display here properly.

STK likely blocks the compositor, the game runs maximized but in windowed mode, the black bar is the uncomposited dock and its struts constrain the area of the maximized window.The likely most desirable approach would be to run STK in fullscreen mode anyway?

Hi,...your post is very long ago. I hope you found the solution. If not this helps me:I added my username to group "uucp":gpasswd -a YOURUSERNAME uucp #(or this next one? I don't know anymore which way I used..) usermod -a -G uucpcheck the vendor and product id of you programming device. For me I have a Usbprog4.0 programmer, which simulates an AVRISP mkII. I created an udev rule:> cat /etc/udev/rules.d/41-usbprog-avrispmk2.rules # AVRISP mkII, Atmel AVR ISP mkII SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2104", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0666" # usbprog firmware-bootloader ATTRS{idVendor}=="1781", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c62", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660" # USBasp programmer ATTRS{idVendor}=="16c0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="05dc", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660" # USBtiny programmer ATTRS{idVendor}=="1781", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c9f", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660"After that, restart PC orudevadm control --reload udevadm trigger

I am running the official Arch Basic VM preinstalled image on a guest machine using the libvirt/qemu/vkm stack intended for testing Ansible playbooks. I'm struggling to gest the guest to receive a static IP address--here's the steps I've taken:    $ virsh shutdown <guest>    $ virsh net-edit default             # Edit the 'default' network to: https://0x0.st/Xnd_.txt     $ systemctl restart libvirtd    $ virsh start <guest>    $ virsh net-dhcp-leases default  # Output below:    Expiry Time           MAC address         Protocol   IP address         Hostname    Client ID or DUID    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    2024-11-21 12:14:42   52:54:00:99:3b:2d   ipv4       192.168.122.3/24   archlinux       ff:56:50:4d:98:00:02:00:00:ab:11:fc:ef:36:3f:44:8e:ef:d5IP address is not set to 19.2168.122.101 as given. Any ideas? I've also tried the following:    $ virsh domif-setlink arch-vm 52:54:00:99:3b:1d down    $ sleep 10    $ virsh domif-setlink arch-vm 52:54:00:99:3b:1d up    $ sudo mv '/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/virbr0'* /tmp     # This is supposed to renew the lease    $ sudo net-destroy default    $ sudo net-start defaultAnd in the guest, also tried:    $ sudo ip link set eth0 down    $ sudo ip link set eth0 upPrimary source of reference: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentatio … ip-addressAny ideas is much appreciated, this is driving me crazy. I have a feeling it's supposed to work if I run the second block of commands in a particular order. But from google search, it also seems like they shouldn't be necessary and simply restart the libvirtd.service is enough. I'm thinking about switch to bridge interface, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to leave the host using the bridge network permanently even if I don't interact with virtual machines any more, or if it's okay to easily switch between bridged networking and "regular" networking depending on whether I work with the VMs on the host. I assume it would disrupt internet connection (however briefly, which can be an issue for dropped downloads).

The wiki was updated long ago on this topic. From https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GTK#Wayland_backend:When using the Wayland backend, some variables are not sourced from settings.ini. Any key that is present in the GSettings schema org.gnome.desktop.interface are read from there instead of settings.ini. You need to configure these settings via dconf.

Does it only happen when you receive a message/ping? Did you disable your notification server?I've had this happen to me on Discord when I disabled notifications in my System Tray Settings on KDE Plasma, instead of hiding them. It is a known issue: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Discor … r_messagedI don't see it too unlikely for Signal to be having the same issue, if your other applications seem to work.Otherwise, it could help if you ran Discord from your terminal and see if any errors appear there when it freezes.

When I try to run the latest Appimage of FreeCAD, I get execv error: No such file or directory.When I try to extract it with './FreeCAD_1.0.0-conda-Linux-x86_64-py311.AppImage --appimage-extract', it outputs This doesn't look like a squashfs image.Failed to open squashfs imageI tried the identical Appimage on Fedora 41 and POP!_OS 22.04. There, it works. Extracting it and the running the included executable also works.The behavior is also described in the freecad forum: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=92230Has someone an idea?Other Appimages work fine (I tried OpenShot-v3.2.1-x86_64 and Ondsel_ES_2024.2.2.37240-Linux-x86_64). So it is probably nothing general.Link to FreeCAD Appimage: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele … 1.AppImageThanks!SOLUTION:uninstall appimagelauncher and reboot.See: https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImage … issues/674 and https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/li … issues/193

Same for me.  I upgraded my distro to 22.04LTS and then network graphs (bar-style) would just show a solid block top-to-bottom, like it is running full-up and full-down.   Once I made the changes below, I'd got the normal look back to the graph, using the default colors (white on black).# Original-Line UpSpeed Graph:  ${offset 15}${upspeedgraph wlp3s0 40,285 4B1B0C FF5C2B 100 -l}# Updated-Line UpSpeed Graph: ${offset 15}${upspeedgraph "wlp3s0"}

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855What display server, what kind of output, what does kscreendoctor or xrandr say about the situation etc. et pp…

So, i tried to install Deepin DE in a VM, but pacman fails due to the following unresolved dependency:warning: cannot resolve "deepin-session", a dependency of "deepin-session-shell" :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: deepin-session-shell :: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] Any ideas/workarounds?Thanks
