@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng LiIf 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
@papojari:artemislena.eupapojari

@hpfr:matrix.orghpfrdebugging game performance issues02:48:35
@hpfr:matrix.orghpfrI'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 bit02:49:52

@papojari:artemislena.eupapojariI 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:artemislena.eupapojariAlso GDM doesn't show any users and resets my default option for the window manager/desktop environment.22:19:31

@piegames:matrix.orgpiegamesNot 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 IIRC08:31:56
@hmenke:matrix.orghmenke piegames: Possibly related: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/110468 09:10:39
@piegames:matrix.orgpiegamesYeah I think that was the issue09:15:57

@vika:matrix.nice.sampler.fivika (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️ joined the room.08:54:27
@vika:matrix.nice.sampler.fivika (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:matrix.nice.sampler.fivika (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️I am on Wayland, so Xmodmap doesn't seem to take effect08:59:56
@vika:matrix.nice.sampler.fivika (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️maybe I need to restart my whole system, haven't tried that09:00:05
@hpfr:matrix.orghpfr 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:matrix.orgpiegames hpfr add it to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/94799 06:41:54
@hpfr:matrix.orghpfrAh I’ll watch that thanks06:45:10
@hpfr:matrix.orghpfrI think there’s nothing for me to add it’s the same issue06:45:25
@piegames:matrix.orgpiegamesI didn't know that the option also installs `xterm` and I don't think it has been mentioned yet06:49:01
@hmenke:matrix.orghmenkexterm has been there for ages: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/b7b1f5d1ccdda107a4502c9b9453aee95e36b75512:59:45
@papojari:artemislena.eupapojariWhy does GDM not remember my last session like previously? Or is it forcefully setting it to GNOME to annoy me?18:31:26
@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnar papojari 🏳️‍🌈: it should take the value from accountsservice 20:32:03
@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnar piegames: looks like gnomeExtensions.system-monitor uses the generated extension instead of the manually packaged one for some reason 20:33:10
@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnarso it is broken20:33:17
@kity:kity.wtfash (it/its) 🏳️‍⚧️ changed their display name from ash to kity.21:02:11
