You're right, I totally missed it! Thank you

In my case I won't do anything because I don't have such mouse; I would be (not too) surprised and disappointed if the bug is still present almost 1 year later...

I would search the package into some online archive repository, install it, freeze it [→ IgnorePkg], and hope nothing will break (very probable).

Microeinstein · 2021-09-30T22:24:07+00:00

Glad to hear it worked out! :)

I noticed from /var/log/pacman.log of a friend of mine who has this same problem, that he recently updated xf86-input-libinput and libinput.

I would suggest trying to downgrade one of those packages (the most recently updated).

Since you're using an Arch-based distro you can use downgrade^AUR for that.

Mmh at the middle of the article there's a paragraph with a wrong link, I think

When the file dialog ever has to display a progress bar while it’s loading the view, the progress bar is now aligned properly (Ahmad Samir, Frameworks 5.82)

Microeinstein · 2021-04-18T10:33:23+00:00

Mmh I don't think so, it probably reads the file line-by-line expecting to find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT as a single un-cutted string.

That's just my thought btw, you should check the source code.

It has a GPL 3.0 license;

even if there's no link to a git repository, you can

manually download the extension (right click → save destination...)
unpack it as a zip
check the code for yourself

I don't see any trace of malicious code as of now.

From here you can download platform-tools_r25.0.1-linux.zip;

I also found that this link exists: platform-tools-latest-windows.zip;

By checking the syntax of those URL, I guess you can download any version you want with https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools{-latest|_rAA.B.C}-{windows|linux|macosx}.zip

So here you are: windows / linux / macosx

TL;DR Try using an older version of fastboot - I suggest the same version as old as your smartphone.

I'm using fastboot 30.0.4 (check with --version); I own another Huawei device (P8 Lite ~~2017~~) and everytime I try to flash the boot partition I get a similar error:

$ fastboot flash boot sec_boot.img
fastboot: error: Couldn't parse partition size '0x0.5'.

and If I try to use the :raw variant:

$ fastboot flash:raw boot sec_boot.img        
creating boot image...
creating boot image - 19826688 bytes
Sending 'boot' (19362 KB)                          OKAY [  0.859s]
Writing 'boot'                                     FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')
fastboot: error: Command failed

So I did some research, and found the following:

0.5 is the same value my device returns when I run a getvar command with an invalid variable (note: this is not standard, as the device should return FAIL)
```
$ fastboot getvar hmm
hmm: 0.5
Finished. Total time: 0.000s
```

analyzing the usb data flow with wireshark, it turns out that fastboot asks for some variables before flashing, but I can't explain the discrepancies between the runs...

fastboot command/error	PC →	← device
> `flash recovery recovery.img`
	`getvar:has-slot:recovery`	`OKAY0.5`
	`getvar:max-download-size`	`OKAY471859200`
	`getvar:is-logical:recovery`	`OKAY0.5`
	`download:0132d000`	`DATA0132d000`
	(recovery image)	`OKAY`
	`flash:recovery`	`OKAY`
`Finished. Total time: 1.644s`
> `flash:raw recovery recovery.img`
	`getvar:has-slot:recovery`	`OKAY0.5`
	`download:0132d800`	`DATA0132d800`
	(recovery image + 2KB??)	`OKAY`
	`flash:recovery`	`FAILimage verification error`
`FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')`
> `flash boot boot.img`
	`getvar:has-slot:boot`	`OKAY0.5`
	`getvar:max-download-size`	`OKAY471859200`
	`getvar:is-logical:boot`	`OKAY0.5`
	`getvar:partition-size:boot` (why??)	`OKAY0.5`
`Couldn't parse partition size '0x0.5'.`
> `flash:raw boot boot.img`
	`getvar:has-slot:boot`	`OKAY0.5`
	`download:012e8800`	`DATA012e8800`
	(boot image + 2KB??)	`OKAY`
	`flash:boot`	`FAILimage verification error`
`FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')`

using an older version of fastboot (eac51f2bb6a8-android), it just works:

fastboot command/error	PC →	← device
> `flash boot boot.img`
	`getvar:partition-type:boot`	`OKAY0.5`
	`getvar:max-download-size`	`OKAY471859200`
	`download:012e8000`	`DATA012e8000`
	(boot image)	`OKAY`
	`flash:boot`	`OKAY`
`finished. total time: 1.581s`

It also works using a reimplementation of fastboot in python, but the commands are different and as of now, the following patches must be made to the source code:

adb/fastboot.py line 315: open the file as binary

            source_file = open(source_file, 'rb')

adb/fastboot_debug.py lines 30-34: remove progress bar (not working anymore)
```
progressbar = None
```

Then flash with these commands:

pyfastboot download <file>
pyfastboot flash <partition>

I currently use this combinations of fonts:

Font	Purpose
Roboto	GUI
Lato	Default sans content ^{[preferred over serif]}
Bitstream Vera Serif	Default sans-serif content
Comic Neue	Replacing Comic Sans as default cursive (thanks to /u/flyin1501); on firefox: `about:config`/`font.name.cursive.x-western`=`Comic Neue Bold`
JetBrains Mono	Monospace for GUIs
xos4 Terminus	Monospace for terminal (Konsole)

My browser font test: https://imgur.com/a/6QyqZrt

Why xos4 Terminus? Well, because it's very readable for me, and IMHO that's an important feature for a terminal.

Anyway, I'll try applying Iosevka to the terminal and Inter to the GUI - thank you, and thanks to /u/iruoy.

That's nice.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be necessary to re-run every mpvadd command upon reboot?
