Update broke some functionality of moonlight-qt on wayland

This update broke some functionality of moonlight-qt on wayland. Program stopped registering hotkey inputs (ctrl-shift-alt-s\q) and sound became garbled. Others have reported similar things here System Keyboard Shortcuts doesnt work anymore · Issue #1525 · moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt · GitHub

Issue was fixed by downgrading sdl2-compat-2.30.52-1 to sdl2-2.30.10-1. Unsure if this is an upstream problem, or something wrong with the new sdl2-compat package.

As this is a foreign package … did you rebuild it?
This is often required after updates to system libraries.
And should be understood, along with other things, by anyone using the AUR.

Also note that the AUR is not officially supported, and that the Stable Branch in particular will frequently be out of date in comparison to Arch and thus incompatible with the Arch User Repository.

Arch User Repository - Manjaro


sudo should not be required here.
Furthermore balooctl6 can be used to monitor, print status, suspend, disable, etc baloo.
And while the default SIGTERM of pkill is somewhat polite we might still prefer trying balooctl6 first.

Oh sorry, i thought moonlight-qt was an official package, didnt notice i got it from chaotic-aur. Rebuild of the moonlight-qt-git package after the update didnt help.

Upd: This seems to be an explanation and a temporary fix System key capture broken in moonlight-qt with SDL2-compat · Issue #370 · libsdl-org/sdl2-compat · GitHub

In the meantime, manually setting it from the outside using SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland moonlight-qt should avoid the issue.

As I understand it, if you installed any package from the chaotic AUR, this is not supported by Manjaro; period.

For anything installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR), the previous information given applies.

Regards.
