First development test ISO for Sway Community Edition installs

this Mouse issue has to do something with wayland for sure… i mean this do not happen on GNOME installs, so could be a missing package or something a deamon is needed?

Would be helpful to see bootlogs:
journalctl -b -0 | eos-sendlog

But it worked for us though. (On WM for me). So I thought it maybe the mouse itself. Maybe you need a different package for that mouse…

Second metal install. Work Machine. AMD hardware. Erase disk swap to file.
From inside live ISO right before clicking done.

Do not feel bad, that’s how community development work!
You start something and others join to help test and make it even better, and faster.I was working for a year on the i3-setup alone to get it working nicely but also imperfect, then after calling community to join developing it for the second edition, it was much faster, more fun and an almost perfect result.

The Sway setup made a huge gift to the community and development!

Ok one more oddity. Normally you can log out to lightDM and then change user to root and then log in as root in the graphical environment. This doesn’t work with sway. You can still of course do everything from a terminal as root as always.

Something to do with this which I dont understand.

Wayland won’t let me run apps as root

You probably shouldn’t do this. If you really need to: sudo --preserve-env=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR,WAYLAND_DISPLAY <app> or simply sudo -E <app>.

Yes. Plasma has the same mentality now. The official sddm themes don’t allow it anymore either. It is generally considered a bad idea. Figured I would mention it as it is something different I noticed.

What does pressing NETWORK, CPU and MEMORY on waybar do for everyone?

They should launch a floating centered nmtui , htop ,htop respectively

They open the correct packages but they are full screen not floating centered like if you hit mod+shift+space. mod+enter has the same behavior although the keybind is for floating terminal (XFCE4-terminal)

I need change that description for XFCE4-Terminal. By floating I mean it is not fixed to the workspaces not that it floats. Termite is fixed to Workspace One.

What shoudl we call it? Free Terminal? Unfixed Terminal?

I don’t know why this happens. They work my personal setup. Hmmmmmmm…

Maybe unbound terminal?

Should we call the other one Bound Terminal or leave it Fixed?

Probably bound since it is technically bound to a workspace as opposed to fixed. Just being picky here… :sweat_smile:
