I packaged stuff already but sometimes it's nice to pay someone else to do something for you, especially if you're short on time

I really need this. Can i put bounties on package requests/tasks? that would be amazing to have so we can kind-of-but-not-really prioritize and also incentivize active development.

I noticed that if you lock your screen and wait for a few minutes after the screen turns off, it works again until the next reboot

The issue reappeared a few reboots after the update.

The issue resolved itself after the latest update

@DataDrake version 2.2.2 was released about 3 weeks ago: https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/archive/v2.2.2.tar.gz
Also, this wasn't the only release between your last comment and now so i'd say upstream is healthy.

Still doesn't work sadly.

I'm currently working on packaging it. Is there a testing server for SSH tunnels somewhere? I didn't find one.

Maybe related: If you have an NVidia GPU and use the proprietary driver, lightdm doesn't recognize the first keystrokes either. it only recognizes them from the second or third onwards. Weirdly enough, this doesn't happen on the Intel iGPU or on AMD GPUs.
So maybe it's just NVidia having an awful driver again.

This is very useful to get around filters like Squid. I had to use an ssh tunnel a while back and would have really appreciated to have this integrated into nm.

The sound stops working after a few minutes when using the fix mentioned by @aleksvor

It has a bit less noise but it's still present and pretty annoying.

Is there a way for me to disable it to check if that's the issue?

Nothing I can find.

@DataDrake I only started noticing it like 2-3 months ago. I have a Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3. I can provide additional info on Sunday if you give me the commands you want the output of.

I'll do some more investigation. I didn't have the issue back when I was using windows though, so I'd be surprised if it was a hardware issue.

I know that it works on Windows 7 without any issues, I don't remember for other Linux distros.

Removed gdk-pixbuf builddep since it's being pulled in as a dependency

I grabbed the journal for doing the steps @belzael mentioned.

That's just for the beta driver though, not for the main driver. The fix would be the same but the patch is just applied to beta.

Is there a fix now? Also, bump in case it was forgotten.

It stops working after resizing the window a few times though.

@JoshStrobl This is true, but OP asked for it to be integrated by default, which would make sense, but maybe not for Budgie 10 since I think Budgie 11 would need a new control center anyways.

Link to the current repo: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg
Lastest release: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/tags/2.44.8

That's a good point but I don't think it makes sense to split packages which are, and will, only be needed by one single application.
If it's being used by multiple other packages, sure, it makes sense. Otherwise I don't really see a reason to.

Hi!
Go to gnome-control-center to the keyboard section. Now scroll all the way down and hit the plus button. You can put any name in "Open the default terminal", set the command to x-terminal-emulator and set your shortcut.
I can't put it the change into the defaults but at least I can tell you how to do it on your machine.

The maintainer has tagged releases and the setup.sh only extracts the files to the correct place, creates a launcher, downloads some dependencies and extract them too. So my suggestion would be to check if those dependencies could be packaged and then doing the steps in the script via packaging. It would be an easy task to just prep a launcher and the folder structure to package it, as far as i know it's normal procedure to do it this way. From my POV, the dependencies being downloaded in the script are the only problem here.

You can see the scrolling lag horribly and the more programs you open, the slower it gets. I had Ubuntu Budgie running as a comparison and it was a good bit faster. And for open-vm-tools: they don't seem to be active at all. You try resizing the screen - nothing. Shared clipboard? Nope. And so on.

I think i'd just build everything unless there's other packaging using only some parts of it. Otherwise I really don't see a reason to split it up.

@kyrios123 I'd say the performance of VBox guests should be improved first, it's slow as hell. Also, adding to your opinion, open-vm-tools should be included too after fixing T6966: open-vm-tools don't work

Works for me too.
Look like that's a good fix or are there any problems with it?

@aalhitennf Keep in mind that NVME SSDs boot way faster, which might contribute to the problem.

@sunnyflunk that didn't work. See the logs here

@sunnyflunk Here are your files for 390

The 390 output will follow in 30mins - an hour

@sunnyflunk

And you would be correct, it happened exactly as you said.
I have a Intel Core i7 4770 and Solus is booting off a Samsung 950 Pro 512GB NVME SSD but I also have a second SATA SSD plugged in which is being mounted via gvfs at boot.

Here you go:

It worked for me when i booted the pc last time. Is there any way to get more information to be certain about what's going on?
I tried to reboot several times and it seems to be completely random.

This seems like it's happening due to a race condition issue as dicussed with @sunnyflunk on IRC.
It seems to happen randomly when rebooting. Sometimes it loads the NVIDIA driver, sometimes it loads llvmpipe.

Still doesn't work :/
How can I give you more info?

Hey Josh, Thanks so much for looking into my issue. sunnyflunk did some research when I first encountered the problem and he said it has nothing to do with the kernel. He went to bed after that so he didn't look into this any further.

Can you update the package request as explained here: Requesting a Package
