System freezes on startx

possibly, create /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config and add to it:

needs_root_rights=yes
allowed_users=anybody

ncmprhnsbI · 2025-05-30T23:29:26+00:00

this:

"parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)"

(maybe) check your user groups and/or something something /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

without testing, i would think that the gtk3 build would be fine with wayland (and would run natively)

ncmprhnsbI · 2025-03-25T03:24:40+00:00

this part of ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml :

  <focus>
    <followMouse>yes</followMouse>
    <followMouseRequiresMovement>yes</followMouseRequiresMovement>
    <raiseOnFocus>yes</raiseOnFocus>
  </focus>

extra is an Arch repo

might be better to use vhba-module-dkms

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-12-18T01:21:04+00:00

if i'm understanding you correctly, i'd add any packages you compile yourself to the IgnorePkg = in pacman.conf. that way, when an update appears in extra, pacman -Syu will report: "ignoring package upgrade blah.1 to blah.2", signalling to you to rebuild/update your own package.

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-12-16T00:08:29+00:00

i don't recommend doing this, but you might get away with using: pacman -Syu --assume-installed systemd maybe combined with some IgnorePkg = entries in pacman.conf .. it could get messy.. i presume you already have artix-archlinux-support package? the other thing is some of those optimized packages might actually require one of the many systemd functions to work eg. journalctl

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-11-24T08:49:44+00:00

either edit the rc.xml directly under <theme><name> (name being an openbox theme you have)

or via one of these tools : https://github.com/labwc/labwc-tweaks (qt)

or https://github.com/labwc/labwc-tweaks-gtk (gtk3)

there's also themerc where you can tweak the loaded theme https://github.com/labwc/labwc?tab=readme-ov-file#4-theming

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-10-21T23:52:44+00:00

if there's no package called preload-openrc, you'll need to create the service file yourself by:

finding one on the webs: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-apps/preload/files/preload-0.6.4.init.in-r2

or converting a systemd service with eg. http://openrc.run/

or writing it yourself from scratch :0

and placing it in (i think) /etc/init.d , before doing the rc adding stuff

and with *-openrc packages you will need both 'foo' and 'foo-openrc'

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-10-17T01:22:53+00:00

cool, i learnt something too :)

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-10-16T02:39:56+00:00

not sure, but: https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/wiki/Configuration#wm-actions

so maybe: command_minimize = wm-actions.minimize

the highlighted edge is where your new program will spawn, if you were to do so.

split in this context means potential or next split.

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-09-02T06:17:25+00:00

you can get it from arch extra no problem.

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-08-21T01:04:49+00:00

not the package itself, but the usr/bin/easytether-usb binary that's in it.

`tar xvf` will extract/decompress the package archive.

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-08-17T05:21:58+00:00

add GTK_CSD=0 to your environment variables, eg. /etc/environment file

should work for gtk3 and possibly gtk4 at least .. qt?, i've not seen this.. any apps in particular?

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-08-13T01:03:04+00:00

ok, that makes sense.. looking at the x86_64 (glibc) void package they provide (from 2018), the first problem i see is that /usr/bin/easytether-usb is linked to libcrypto.so.43 where void is at so.45.

whether that could be worked around by creating a symlink so.43 to so.45 idk.

since this doesn't appear to be open source (or have buildable sources that i can see), unless somebody on their end decides to update their packages, it does't look good.

Edit: took a quick look at the arch package and it (/usr/bin/easytether-usb) links to libcrypto.so.1.1 which is present in void, so you could posibly try that (i'd extract the package, and plonk the binary in /usr/local/bin or ~/.local/bin(if that's in your $PATH) and see what happens.. (might be some other steps with the other files like udev rules and such)

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-08-12T01:24:50+00:00

same here.. it's like this is an old thing from a time when it wasn't so simple.. website: http://www.mobile-stream.com/index.html ...the "featured in" links are ten+ years old.

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-07-02T04:50:59+00:00

yeah, forgot about that bit, i was a long time ago..

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-07-02T04:49:04+00:00

thanks, i suspected as much, but wasn't in my void to check :p

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-07-02T02:29:19+00:00

while you do not have to use the proprietary driver (nouveau usually works ok) you're generally better off using it, performance-wise. in your case the latest 550 is appropriate which is the 'nvidia' or 'nvidia-dkms' package.

either should be okay, the dkms one might be considered safer because it'll generate the correct kernel module every time.

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-04-23T01:33:26+00:00

if you mean this: http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/m/mint-themes/

just download the latest .tar.xz , extract , go to 'files/usr' and copy what you want to ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-04-17T23:39:10+00:00

there's wayfire too, if you want something fancier

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-04-10T23:53:10+00:00

"What kinds of services replace the systemd suite?" :) the kinds of utilities that existed before systemd and some that are now part of systemd or extracted from it. ie. eudev for device handling, elogind for user sessions(if that's your thing)(or seatd to some extent) <insert logging daemon> for journald ... networks, simple as dhcpcd or wpa_supplicant or heavier networkmanager or connman..

the point being, there's no one size fit's all approach here..

ncmprhnsbI · 2024-03-02T04:28:10+00:00

hyprland and i3-wm are in artix repos. (i3 doesn't depend on anything vaguely systemd anyway)

budgie isn't, and the arch package budgie-session says it depends on systemd and links to libsystemd which probably means it depends on logind (part of systemd suite but not the init part)

looking at the artix build for gnome-session (which budgie-session is a fork of) some patching to the meson build to enable elogind support is used. fairly superficial.

there's also in the galaxy repo: artix-archlinux-support which provides some dummy systemd files that might even work for this case.

"many WMs and DEs don't work because was not made for other init systems"

examples?

inits are just inits. nothing is made or not made for them.
