 hpfr | how can I use gnome x11 on NixOS? was looking for an option or something | 02:31:06 |
 Zhaofeng Li | Not using GNOME right now so can't check, but it should be an option in the cogwheel menu in gdm | 02:40:20 |
| hpfr | do I need non-wayland gdm? | 02:40:18 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Wayland gdm should show it as well | 02:40:36 |
| hpfr | ok I'll look | 02:40:53 |
| hpfr | are there things I can do in my config to e.g. dynamically switch firefox packages depending on which session is launched? | 02:41:43 |
| Zhaofeng Li | If you are talking about MOZ_USE_WAYLAND, I think it *should* work in X11 as well (it just won't use wayland)? | 02:43:55 |

how can I use gnome x11 on NixOS? was looking for an option or something Why do you need to use Gnome on Xorg? | 02:47:46 |
| hpfr | debugging game performance issues | 02:48:35 |
| hpfr | I'm getting significantly better perf in gta on i3 than gnome wayland, want to try sway and gnome X11 as well to see if I can narrow things down a bit | 02:49:52 |

| papojari 🏳️🌈 | I dunno why but I suddenly can't launch GNOME apps anymore. GNOME Terminal, GNOME Chaarcters, Geary, ... all don't launch. I don't get any errors when starting in the terminal. | 22:16:42 |
| papojari 🏳️🌈 | Also GDM doesn't show any users and resets my default option for the window manager/desktop environment. | 22:19:31 |
| papojari 🏳️🌈 | ➜ gnome-terminal
# Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached
| 22:50:24 |
| papojari 🏳️🌈 | I do have an error message | 22:50:33 |
| papojari 🏳️🌈 | * I dunno why but I suddenly can't launch GNOME apps anymore. GNOME Terminal, GNOME Chaarcters, Geary, ... all don't launch. | 22:50:59 |
| papojari 🏳️🌈 | weird | 22:52:06 |
| papojari 🏳️🌈 | now some start, then they don't start. It's different for my launcher and terminal too | 22:52:36 |

 piegames | Not sure if the same issue (I'd have to look at the error messages again), but some apps (including Evoluition) also don't start for me either. It's not a recent issue though, there are some rotting bug reports about this IIRC | 08:31:56 |
 hmenke | piegames: Possibly related: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/110468 | 09:10:39 |
| piegames | Yeah I think that was the issue | 09:15:57 |

| vika (she/her) 🏳️⚧️ | Hello. Is patching the XKB keyboard config (xorg.xkeyboardconfig package in Nixpkgs) the right way to make F13 et al. function like, well, F13 et al. and not weird XF86Somethings? Should I patch $out/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/inet, $out/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet or both? | 08:59:42 |
| vika (she/her) 🏳️⚧️ | I am on Wayland, so Xmodmap doesn't seem to take effect | 08:59:56 |
| vika (she/her) 🏳️⚧️ | maybe I need to restart my whole system, haven't tried that | 09:00:05 |
| hpfr | so with GDM Wayland, you still have to have services.xserver.enable = true right? I'm trying to remove xterm but this option includes it in systemPackages | 23:27:03 |

| piegames | hpfr add it to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/94799 | 06:41:54 |
| hpfr | Ah I’ll watch that thanks | 06:45:10 |
| hpfr | I think there’s nothing for me to add it’s the same issue | 06:45:25 |
| piegames | I didn't know that the option also installs `xterm` and I don't think it has been mentioned yet | 06:49:01 |
