 André Lima | Where did you see that gnome no longer supports autostart desktop files? I'm creating a PR to fix that and it would be useful to mention that in the description | 22:30:15 |
| André Lima | Found it! PRs are:

 jasi 🏳️⚧️ | Thank you for these, I left my reviews | 02:55:31 |
 l0b0 | I use GNOME's display scaling feature on a 4k monitor to get everything to a nice 2x scale. I also auto-start a bunch of applications when logging in. But two of the applications consistently don't scale on this first launch: KeePassXC and Jetbrains IDEA. I have to close and re-open them to get them to scale. Does anyone know why this might be, and how to fix it? | 11:55:49 |
| l0b0 | Some comments mention QT5 being the devil, and QT6 being the saviour… | 17:55:15 |

| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | It might be because they are running under xwayland | 03:27:48 |
| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | Do you have the experimental feature "xwayland-native-scaling" enabled? | 03:29:04 |
| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | * | 03:29:29 |
| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | Also if you want to avoid qt5 into your system closure, try gnome-secrets, it reads KeePass databases and does TOTP, the only thing you lose out on is icons and the keepass browser companion | 03:32:36 |

| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | otherwise you have a nice adwaita app that does nice adwaita things (type to search by default) | 03:33:12 |
 @mcnesium:matrix.org | Running NixOS Unstable with Gnome 49, today I see the Gnome session crash and go back to the login screen, whenever I try to use the microphone of my bluetooth headset. This happens in all applications (tested Firefox, Chromium, Vocalis). It does not crash when using the built-in microphone. Journalctl says:
Gvc:ERROR:../subprojects/gvc/gvc-mixer-stream.c:535:gvc_mixer_stream_get_port: code should not be reached
Is this a Gnome or a NixOS issue?

 K900 | Known GNOME issue | 14:19:05 |

| @mcnesium:matrix.org | ok, thank you | 14:21:25 |
| André Lima | and this is the issue for nixpkgs, if you're interested

|  Winter joined the room. | 00:08:50 |
| Winter | anyone notice Firefox on (only) GNOME behaving weirdly when clicking and holding to do things like e.g. navigate the back menu? cannot repro on KDE but GNOME+Firefox's dragging stuff seems to make the cursor hit areas that it's not actually under | 00:09:44 |
| Winter | i do not recall running into this the last time i used firefox on gnome on this machine ~6mo ago | 00:15:59 |
| Winter | but who knows where the regression lies | 00:16:07 |

| l0b0 | I've never heard of it, so I expect not? But how would I find out? It's not a plain NixOS option. | 13:27:16 |
| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | It's a GNOME experimental setting, not a nixos option, and you have to set it via gsettings or using the refine app | 20:22:26 |
| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | You can also set it via the dconf module:
"org/gnome/mutter" = {
experimental-features = [
"scale-monitor-framebuffer"
"xwayland-native-scaling"
];
};
| 20:22:49 |
| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']" | 20:23:45 |
| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | or via gsettings | 20:23:52 |
| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | Here's the NixOS wiki page on GNOME https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/GNOME | 20:24:45 |
| jasi 🏳️⚧️ | I wrote some of the parts myself :) | 20:30:51 |
