[ARM Unstable Update] 2023-07-17 - Thunderbird, KDE, Firefox, Gnome, Gstreamer, Pipewire

philm · 17 July 2023 07:44

We synced again from ALARM. Now we have to find time to see what is broken and needs fixing. ICU update might create some issues on our overlay packages. You may check via dependency-checker icu which packages might be affected …

Flameshot does NOT seems to work fully (partial functioning). If I click on Flameshot Icon on the Gnome Dock, the “Flameshot” Icon will show up on the “Top Bar” but it will NOT capture any screen or anything. Select “Open Launcher”, the “Launcher” will Not show up.

But it if start “Flameshot” using command line it seems of work. It will take screen shots but It has following wornings. Any guidance or tips how to resolve these warnings will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Are you on Wayland?

JFL · 21 July 2023 04:52

Hi @spikerguy,

Yes, on Gnome-Wayland. Amlogic S922X somehow doesn’t work that well on Gnome-Xorg, might actually have stability issue with Firefox in few instances.

Furthermore on Gnome-Xorg, KDE-Plasma-X11 or XFCE there is the annoying issue of mouse pointer flickering and less smooth than on Wayland.

For your info, on Manjaro-Arm-KDE Plasma Wayland, Flameshot works as expected as far as I can tell.

Any tips to get Flameshot to work properly on Gnome-Wayland? Right now Flameshot on Gnome-Wayland seems to work if launch using “command line” but gives the warnings above.

Edit: Similar warnings launching Firefox with these on command line:

Manjaro-Arm-Gnome-linux-aml-6.1.38-1 is missing “/etc/dconf/db/local”. Any idea what this “/etc/dconf/db/local” file is for and how to generate/create this file? How to rectify this? The warning indicated, “expect degraded performance”.

Launching Firefox or Chromium or Flameshot or LibreOffice from the terminal all generate the same warnings.
