A few Sway configuration problems

jojo06 · 2023-12-03 09:24:50

Problem 1 / zsh conf `command not found`

~~Zsh was runing `compinit` and a few other commands in zsh conf. And on the first tty screen it was outputting that these commands were not recognized.~~
Special thanks to @Head_on_a_Stick he suggested me grml-zsh-config, in grml they have error handling for it.

Problem 2 / Sway Logs - Event Access Denied

I noticed a crash, after opening 2 windows with mod+s/mod+w (may be my fault) several times in a row, when I grabbed the tab screen and pulled it to the far right, for set horizontally (my purpose was change it to default) I end up on the tty screen, I got a lot of errors and user@hostname turned into something like `$#%%%@$#%%%%`. I can play a few tabs without any problem. The crash is either a problem with too many tabs or a conf problem. You may also need a conf line like this: apply only 1 command for tabs. Otherwise it can do a stacking like `(V) (H) (E) (T)` (I don't remember exactly) in 4-5 different tabs.

I got `Event access denied` errors in logs, but I can run it again with `sway` command, normally with no error. But could it be a bug or a deficiency?

How to check missing dependencies ?

After a few installations of programs(in sway conf its using), the screen brightness went down. It is set to 5%, I think I need to increase it or there is a conf issue. After all this time the brightness is now working/changed.
It uses `light`, there are a lot of light packages, which one should I install for this?

I put the applications I can't use on Sway (fuzzbook, window selector and 1 more) in the comment line. Should i install the apps or delete the line ?

Does removing that POS framework fix things? It usually causes problems, if threads on these boards are anything to go by.

Please do not listen to the bullshit generators. They are intended for entertainment and should not be used for educational purposes. The default setting allows for 20% nonsense because otherwise the output is "too boring".

If removing oh-my-zsh doesn't fix everything then please share your full sway configuration file.

Sorry I don't know what the POS framework is. There is actually no problem now, everything works. But I suspect something is going wrong in the background; my computer hardware is good and not doing hard stuff, but yesterday vsc crashed. I have to run windows11 in vbox at 1366x768 with half screen. Otherwise the cpu is overloaded and the fan is constantly blowing and going back to normal and on and on. Its 4GB Ram, 2 CPU and i lowered extension cap and video memory. I'm nervous, I can't leave it alone so it doesn't overwhelm the system. So there is a performance loss, a mismatch in my system.

Yeah, actually, the longer we stay away from this ai the better, it's gotten ridiculous and annoying lately. But I think it is the best source on the internet after Arch Forum Are you saying that it gives 20% efficiency or only 20% of the desired solution?

In my opinion, the less configuration and the more default and simple settings, the more prosperity. But I initially installed oh-my-zsh to get around the zsh problem. The problem with zsh is, as I said, the command not found warnings on the tty screen and in the background.

Thank you for your reply and your interest.

To be clear: oh-my-zsh is a steaming pile of shite that should not be used by anybody, ever. It is just _awful_ and usually breaks things.

If you want a nice zsh environment try the grml-zsh-config package, as seen on the live ISO images. Grml actually know what they're doing, unlike the oh-my-zsh lot.

I find Windows runs really well under QEMU/KVM. WSL2 even uses the virtio drivers and 9p for filesharing :-)

I was referring to the "temperature" applied to the token selection. See https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/202 … s-it-work/ for an overview of the mechanisms involved.

Sorry, I thought that was only apparent _after_ you installed oh-my-zsh.

If zsh is still problematic after removing oh-my-zsh you should post your full configuration and also explain exactly how you switched to zsh as your default shell.

I'm removing oh-my-zsh immediately. And I'm heading to grml-zsh-config

Honestly, I'm done with windows. I am doing some `experiments` on it now I can manage with vbox in the meantime. Just wanted to mention that the problem might not be simple conf or might be related. Besides, it's just picking up the screen brightness from the conf and maybe because it adjusts the temperature accordingly, it turns down a setting like video memory and slowness occurs. I thought.

Yes. It's already messed up after the last update.

About zsh: In the zsh settings configuration, it suggested that each option must be set. For the options I didn't know, I checked `no settings`. So 1: `set no settings` 2: `yes` 3: `set no settings` and 0: confirm. My understanding is don't leave the settings configuration blank, even if you select the option to use no settings, it is better than leaving it blank. The following 4 commands from the .zshrc config file are printed as `command not recognized` on the tty screen:

Command not found : 
-autoload -Uz compinit
-compinit
*And there was 2 else sorry i dont remember and cant cat the conf file, still zsh is loaded.

So does zsh work if you replace ~/.zshrc with an empty file?

Edit: This it the output when i run sway from terminal. I also see some of em in journalctl.
