Yes i could do that as it is a 500 GB SSD. You are probably right i should stop wiping out my good setup here even though they are on three separate drives. Edit: Yes need to get back on topic about Sway so i will try a bare metal install when i gets time as I’m sure I’ll love it. You guy’s have put a lot of effort into this and i don’t mean to disparage it because of my issues. ---

waybar: [config.txt](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/short-url/mjSzPawxOZMz1hP6btjMXV16sln.txt) (5.1 KB) seems that there are some iconic fonts used from font awesome 6? I do insert replacements from font awesome 5 what is version of package otf-font-awesome and this seems to show up good. ![Bildschirmfoto_2021-04-08_14-53-20](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/d/7/d71e4355443a0af43231080cfab3415035ca6c75.jpeg) ---

I just did that now…swtiched to font-aweomse 5 on github! 😆 Bar looks like this now! Not very different but all fonts now come from font-awesome 5 (plus waybar defaults - which I haven’t changed…maybe those are the font-awesome 6) Got it! Network icons right! ![2021-04-08T14:02:01,459147881+01:00](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/f/5fb453b3b3e2355f7640b8274ce0b45bbbf96eee.jpeg) ---

Also i do have almost zero issue running the C-E-sway in virtualmanager here, i only got the double cursor but everything else working smooth and nice. I see reports on sway about this: [https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/3814](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/3814) Could someone try to find out if there is a workaround ? or a what is the reason for it at least? I remember something similar for i3-setup where you need to disable v-sync in picom config to run it in virtualbox. ---

As we add a dependency to welcome for pacdiff function and it seems the diff-gui we add (meld) will cause issue under Wayland could we go investigate how to solve this? As it seems it needs xhost prefix to be able to run meld as root on wayland. We could also add another diff tool running in cli or another gui if needed. ---

These diffing programs are supported by pacdiff in Welcome: ```auto kdiff3 kompare meld diffuse code diff vim ``` (see variable `EOS_WELCOME_PACDIFFERS` in file `/etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf`). These programs can be tested by moving the one to test as the _first_ in the listed values. We already know that `vim` works, but that may not be the easiest for users… ---

I guess (but don’t know) that gnome has made some special arrangement. By the way, what command or commands exactly did you use to get meld to work with xhost? ---

I think welcome does not start the diff gui as root? @manuel ? I have no issue here: ![2021-04-12_16-41](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/a/3a99bfbf9216fa7afd9940582af2c349b028c9f9.png) ![2021-04-12_16-42](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/6/76cd4700a95211d5ac29a249c70b08d1fcbc7bbb.jpeg) To me it looks like welcome the holy wool-milk-sow is doing its magic already ? 😉 Oh no i simply do forget to disable the xhhost settings 🙈 ---

so not working for both… without give root access with xhost here sry for confusion… to give access: `xhost si:localuser:root` to remove access: `xhost -si:localuser:root` ---

Why does this not work? `sudo --preserve-env=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR,WAYLAND_DISPLAY meld` That is the only way to have graphical app in wayland…Am I understading you wrong? You want to open meld as GUI with root acess. This is better then doing the xhost thing? ---
