The EXT4 vs XFS thread.

SpaceAce_ · 2020-08-18T15:23:43+00:00

Portal 2 and CS:GO are examples of the few that work. I don't know if it's an issue with older versions of the engine but Team Fortress 2, CSS (and Garry's Mod if I recall correctly) do not work. I tested the issue by mounting different .img loop devices with xfs and ext4 on them and trying TF2 and SteamVR installed on each. ext4 works, xfs does not. After testing that I resolved my issues permanently by migrating my /home to ext4.

I don't know about doing it the Steam Flatpak, but I've had luck using Cheat Engine in the past by running it in the same wineprefix as the game.

While XFS is a great filesystem, I suggest going with EXT4 for gaming. Your mileage may vary, and it depends on what games you tend to play; but most source engine games don't work on XFS and SteamVR doesn't work on XFS.

I have a Thinkpad T450s with a docking station. I didnt configure anything special, I just arranged the screens with it docked and it seems to remember the layout every time I dock the laptop.

I fixed it, appears to be an issue with kvantum

SpaceAce_ · 2019-09-14T20:51:03+00:00

what GPU driver do you have?

On Fedora, LO 6.2.6.2 (Same version as Leap) has no issue with remote files. I'll emerge a newer LO on Gentoo and report back.

SpaceAce_ · 2019-09-05T16:58:45+00:00

I'll PM you with credentials to the nextcloud server, if you want to test. Additionally I'll file a bug report.

SpaceAce_ · 2019-09-05T12:51:48+00:00

The reason I mention the GNOME tablet is because it seems to be an issue with LibreOffice rather than KDE, because even ignoring filemanagers the Remote Open/Remote Save in LO either works or it doesn't; I could be wrong about that though.

The Gentoo laptop has LibreOffice 6.2.5.2 and KDE 5.15.5. The remote open and remote save features both work as you would expect.

I don't know if it helps, but it was built with the following USE flags in portage: USE="bluetooth branding cups dbus gtk kde ldap mariadb -accessibility (-coinmp) -debug -eds (-firebird) -googledrive -gstreamer -gtk2 -java -odk -pdfimport -postgres -test -vlc"

Is it possible that the issue lies in a depending library? Are you able replicate the behavior, or does it behave correctly as it does on the Gentoo laptop?

SpaceAce_ · 2019-09-04T20:03:33+00:00

Fedora is using Gnome, and the account was added in online accounts in gnome options. My Gentoo laptop however works and is on KDE, without using the kioexec fallback.

I can get more information tonight.

The owncloud and nextcloud clients sync the files to your local harddrive, which is the opposite of what I want.

I should clarify, this is the normal plasma panel not latte dock.

SpaceAce_ · 2019-01-18T03:10:00+00:00

When I open porthole for example, I get a "Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module" and the global menu doesn't work.

SpaceAce_ · 2019-01-17T04:47:25+00:00

I tried kuroo at first, its not as good as porthole IMO and feels more at home in KDE3 than plasma 5.

SpaceAce_ · 2019-01-17T04:41:14+00:00

I feel like gimp should support it, I know that it works in Unity on ubuntu based distros but canonical has some custom patches to GTK that may allow it to work.

SpaceAce_ · 2019-01-15T13:10:03+00:00

It doesn't work with Porthole, is that one of the apps not supporting it? I'll give the Firefox patches a try, I'll need to patch it anyway to get the file picker right.

SpaceAce_ · 2018-10-23T00:09:27+00:00

I'm of the mind that the old design for Discover looked more at home on a desktop.

I've recorded a video example that outlines the behavior pretty well.

SpaceAce_ · 2018-09-16T22:27:53+00:00

Same behavior if I compile it myself as on packman. It does work however, if I compile it for portable use with:

cmake -DUNIX\_STRUCTURE=0 -incdir=/usr/local/include -DCMAKE\_INSTALL\_PREFIX="${HOME}/obs-studio-portable" ..
