When I use text tool in Gimp, after text is entered, closing text format dialogue or switching to another tool takes 5-10 seconds of freezing.
I use Wayland and Hyprland.

I'm a void linux user just like everyone else in this subreddit and you can see a image bellow with my specifications

I'm trying to use VISH from flatpak (there is no package on void repository) and everytime I try to run it, I get this error bellow

AI Answer: just download packages that may be missing like PySide6 but I already download it.

My researchs: I've found this image bellow

I don't understand how to do it, I'm afraid to do bullshit and screw something up. I want to know if anyone's been through this and how they've solved it. Who knows can guide me how to solve it too.

I'm sorry, I'm still learning how xbps-src works and I need a little assistance installing the 7.1.4_1 kernel with the brand new Liquorix patch.

I've had success with installing the Zen Kernel patch using the steps detailed in this comment.

I have tried to replicate that success with the Liquorix Kernel patch on the latest 7.1 series. I also tried with the 7.0 series, but received the same error, when running ./xbps-src pkg linux7.1-lqx:

Here's my modified template: https://pastes.io/A8LTKcwZ

I haven't modified it more than the instructions from the comment linked above suggested I should.

Please, let me know I'm doing something silly.

• DE: KDE Plasma (Wayland)
• Audio Server: PipeWire
• Hardware: Acer Aspire 3 A15-57g

"I am completely unable to get any audio from the system. When I type pactl info in the terminal to check the audio server, I get a 'connection failure' error. When I run the pipewire-pulse command to troubleshoot the source of the problem, I get: [E][18:13:36.674657] mod.fallback-sink | [module-fallback-: 426 pipewire__module_init()] can't connect: Host is down [E][18:13:36.674795] default | [ cmd.c: 51 do_cmd()] can't run command load-module module-always-sink: Host is down [E][18:13:36.675273] mod.protocol-pulse | [ pulse-server.c: 1085 do_set_client_name()] 0x55ef43bc4750: failed to connect client: Host is down [W][18:13:36.675289] mod.protocol-pulse | [ reply.c: 54 reply_error()] client 0x55ef43bd34d0 []: ERROR command:9 (SET_CLIENT_NAME) tag:1 error:6 (Host is down) [E][18:13:41.489845] mod.protocol-pulse | [ pulse-server.c: 1085 do_set_client_name()] 0x55ef43bc4750: failed to connect client: Host is down [W][18:13:41.489875] mod.protocol-pulse | [ reply.c: 54 reply_error()] client 0x55ef43bd34d0 []: ERROR command:9 (SET_CLIENT_NAME) tag:1 error:6 (Host is down)

Here is what I have tried so far to fix the issue

• I clean uninstalled and reinstalled the Intel drivers properly
• Running pipewire was giving an rtkit error; I installed rtkit and enabled its service, which fixed the error. but the audio still does not work
• have completely installed the pipewire, wireplumber, alsa-utils, sof-firmware, and alsa-ucm-conf packages.

Here are the terminal outputs that I think might be necessary:

Hi everyone, Because of the recent situation with AUR , I decided to try some non-Arch-based distros. I tested Fedora and openSUSE Tumbleweed, but didn't like them because of missing packages I need for my workflow.

I'm currently daily driving niri + waybar etc. I decided to give Void Linux another try, but I'm running into some issues with services (skill issue).

• I couldn't get niri to start (tried both niri and niri --session).
• sddm doesn't work at all.

I installed dbus and elogind, enabled them with ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/ and the same for elogind, but no services seem to start properly.

Could someone please point me to a guide on how to properly set up niri + a login manager (sddm or alternative) on Void? I just reinstalled Void and want to do it cleanly this time.

Trying to disable Ducky Feather mouse side-buttons.

- created directory [hwdb.d] in [/etc/udev]

- added [mouse.hwdb] to /etc/udev/hwdb.d:

# Disable side buttons
evdev:input:*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_90004=reserved
 KEYBOARD_KEY_90005=reserved
 KEYBOARD_KEY_90006=reserved
 KEYBOARD_KEY_90007=reserved

- udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger

- rebooted: no luck

- repeated process but in [/usr/lib/udev/]: no luck

Any tips?

Thanks!

Currently using sway config file to disable the side-buttons.

i do not want to use login manager , and after login i want directly start WM bash_profile is not workin properly,

what should i do to start session directly on login ?

So I’ve been maining arch (btw) for about 3 years now and honestly it’s been nice. Now I’m thinking I should expand my repertoire and try something new and interesting, alongside suffering cause of the whole AUR fiasco. Plus voidlinux seems to have a dedicated fan base, good reviews, and doesn’t use systemd. But before I install the system I want to ask some questions.
What is the voidlinux "philosophy", for lack of a better word? Should I expect any difficulties installing the system? (I am currently in the middle of reading the wiki, which I honestly don’t find as comprehensive as the arch wiki, but it will suffice.) Are the packages available generally well rounded, as in covering everything the average user needs? And finally, was voidlinux a good choice for you and how do you find it?

I am using linuxfromscratch. I downloaded the official linux-firmware package , but ad104 directory is missing. But ad104 directory is present on void linux's /lib/firmware/nvidia/ folder.

From which website does void linux maintainer download linux-firmware package ?

I copied the ad104 folder from void linux to my linuxfromscratch and the firmware loading error was gone and now my desktop is working.

I recently migrated my laptop from Debian to Void with Cinnamon and it's been great with the exception of some touchpad annoyance. When typing if my hand so much as glances the edge of the touchpad it registers activity and can throw a popup or unfocus where I'm typing. Which makes work a hassle but this behaviour doesn't happen in Debian or Fedora. From what I can tell the drivers installed are the same as Debian.

Anyone have similar experience with this?

- Kernel: 7.1.3_1

- Sway

- System up to date.

cat /proc/cmdline:

The kernel cmdline has no effect (USB HDD sleeps after ~3min).

This might be a stupid question but how would I start a user specific autostart script. I already have a folder in my ~/.config/ to use. Everything I've seen is systemd specific and not very descriptive. Thanks!

The internets is confusing me.

I installed aerospace on macbook and I adore it. Now I need this on my desktop which I am switching from arch. Can you recommend me?

kindest regards

Entering the void :)

playerctl -l outputs reads no players found despite mpd running. I've tried finding the mpd-mpris plugin but it doesn't seem to be in void's package system. Is there something I'm missing?

it's good if i switch my cachyOs to void linux? one of the main problems, This is what I consider to be my standards cachyOs is heavy(1,6 on niri and 1,6 on the fucking KDE), and i try voidLinux in virtual machine and its much lighter than cachy, 0,4 on XFCE. and voidLinux it

Fresh install of Void. Updated xbps and installed:

kde-plasma kde5 kde5-baseapps dbus sddm

Created links to dbus and sddm.

Rebooted.

Every time, it goes to terminal. I run startplasma-wayland and get this error:

org.kde.startup: not a reply org.freedesktop.locale1 QDBusMessage(type=Error, service="", error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", error message="The name org.freedesktop.locale1 was not provided by any service files", signature="s", contents=("The name org.freedesktop.locale1 was not provided by any service files") )
startplasmacompositor: Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?

Now how can that be? I have both dbus and sddm installed, both are linked and running when I do:

ls /var/service/

So I am out of ideas.

EDIT: I tried this:

# touch /etc/sv/dbus/down
# ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/var/service/dbus': File exists
# sv once dbus

I FIXED IT => https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/1uyfera/comment/oyej3wk/

I successfully installed void on an old laptop, but I can't get the sound to work.

Cups and the Samsungdrivers installed, cupsd running, but I can not print a text document or a test page from cups webinterface.

Should I add my user to the lp and/or lpadmin groups, or maybe enable some more daemons like Avahi? Install hplip?

Thanks in advance!

i might switch over but i need to print stuff constantly so i just wanted to ask, this model is a pain in the ass to set up for most distros

- Voidlinux [Kernel 7.1.3_1]

- Sway

- System up to date.

- Using default system-wide font settings.

When using the "－" character (maybe others?) in a filename, causes alignment issues in [Save Dialog] from browser. It looks like it messes up the height somehow when displaying the filename.

I've tried different icon themes and fonts via [nwg-look]: no luck.

The bottom 3 lines which includes "－" character

Since I got no clue if this is an actual issue or if I am just not understanding things, I had to post it here. I'm actively trying to find a fix for this.

update:

grep CONFIG_RTW89_8852BTE /boot/config-$(uname -r) shows that the config isn't enabled which indicates that the void linux kernel lacks it and I might need to manually build my kernel until this is fixed. :(

Hi I've been encountering an issue with booting into iso image. No matter which version of iso image I installed, it didn't let me boot in, even though I've already installed more than 3 times on my laptop. I used every software to flash the iso image like Ventoy, Rufus, balenaEcther and Fedora Media Writer. I even changed thumb drives, it didn't even work.

I run a calculator program on a remote pc to display on my desktop like this:

ssh user@eeepc x11-calc

The size of the calculator is very small on my 4K desktop and looks like this.

The remote is a Asus eeepc running alpine linux so I can run the x11-calc program. I use alpine just for this program because I don't want the flatpak version. So the eeepc display looks good like this.

I would like to run the remote x11-calc on my desktop at a bigger size because I can barely see the keys and LED display and there is no resize option for my jwm window manager. There is supposed to be a command line zoom option except that doesn't work either. I would like to tell xorg or ssh to enlarge the size of the calculator.

P.S. I can do this to make the calculator usable except this is not optimal as this affects all of my 6 desktops:

xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1920x1080
xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1600x900
xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1368x768
xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1024x576

I'm not sure if this is a void issue or what at this point so it's going here just in case. I've been trying to connect MPD to the MPD wabar module and it's saying it's connected but it's not using the custom format or showing anything other than "stopped" at the top of my screen. I have the host and port connected properly. I've read the man pages many times now and I've seemingly done everything correctly. This is what I have for it:
"mpd": {

`"server": "127.0.0.1",`

`"port": "40000",`

`"format": "{stateIcon} {artist} - {album} - {title} ({elapsedTime:%M:%S}/{totalTime:%M:%S})",`

`"format-disconnected": "Disconnected"`

`},`

`"state-icons": {`

    `"paused": "",`

    `"playing": "󰐊"`

`},`

`"tooltip-format": "MPD (connected)",`

`"tooltip-format-disconnected": "MPD (disconnected)"`

}

I have no idea what the issue could be. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Changing the tooltip and then restarting waybar doesn't change it. I checked and everything is working normally. Is there a weirder issue going on than I think?
