Does font-awesome have the same problem? I thought of switching to it…

Font awesome seems to be more reliable.

How do! Just wanted to say thanks for putting together a great Sway distro. Self-confessed distro hopper and I’d be lying if I said that this flavour will stop me hopping, but I’ll certainly be stopping for the time being. In the last 6-8 weeks I’ve tried nearly every (if not all) main gnome (with pop shell) and sway option available including vanilla arch. I think you’ve struck a great balance with what you’ve put together and I’ve actually managed to learn how sway works from what you’ve done. There’s some very minor issues that I’ll report now that I’m signed up, but they really are minor (this is now my daily driver). Thanks again :slight_smile:

hmm the current devel ISO with the sway available (and BSPWM) are not working fully and could cause issues in some install methods, I would not recommend using this one as a stable installer!

Are the problems with the iso or is it any config error with sway or bspwm?

Normal installs should not be a problem, but devel-ISOS always include untested code and unstable versions of calamares, the ISO was on one side to test CE install but we put also a lot other test code into it that could cause issues.
But it is not an official tested release at all, it is there to test for issues. :wink: And configs for sway and BSPWM are taken directly from the Github repo on installation, they are not on the ISO.

I do mention this only to put out a little warning because currently, it looks like this ISO is offered as an official Release.

Well I had a feeling people weren’t too keen on the tux icon so I changed it to a normal menu icon.

Done thank you!

I just finished a sway install on Odroid N2+ with 5.11.2 zen kernel and it is running nice on wayland.

Things I ran across:
Welcome does not appear after first boot. In terminal

[don@OdroidN2 ~]$ eos-welcome
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.

(yad:2405): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:06:50.165: cannot open display: 
welcome exit code was: 1

I don’t think anything that runs in yad works. Only Update in Terminal works, but I don’t think that uses yad.

I don’t see anything to change the resolution on wofi. Pacman -Q | grep randr did not show any form of randr installed.

Click on the panel keyboard icon, the list shows super + p = wofi activities – doesn’t do anything

hardinfo or System Profiler & benchmarks on wofi does not work.

What happens if you run yad directly at the terminal?

Maybe this explains the issue: in file
/usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/eos-script-lib-yad
at line 32

GDK_BACKEND=x11 $EOS_YAD_STARTER_CMD "$@" | grep -v "^WINDOW DECORATIONS RELOADED$"

is not good for wayland, variable GDK_BACKEND should be “wayland” ?
Note that this is mere guessing, I haven’t tested it.

On the other hand, on a PC in VirtualBox Sway is working with Welcome.
That leads to think that some library that yad needs is missing on Odroid?

See above, in the quote box.

If you need more than that, let me know.

Welcome is using e.g. lspci command.

Edit: is pciutils installed?

Edit2: eos-update-notifier uses yad, does that work?
