WOAH!!!! Who would've thought that #Xfce 4.20 works under #Wayland on #FreeBSD? This is so awesome!
Granted I have to use #labwc but that's ok! I'm super happy! 😄
SSS releases v3.1.44, with an #accessibility feature now baked in, a handy virtual on-screen #keyboard that you can toggle with your mouse directly from #waybar, it works nicely in #hyprland and #labwc sessions

sorry for the screenshot in 4k screen, but keyboard is highly usable and should help accessibility, as well as people that control pc from the #sofa
LabWC's solution is to use a ToggleKeybindings
keybinding to temporarily disable all keybindings globally while you use the VM, then re-enable keybindings when your done. This is obviously not optimal if you're constantly switching between VMs and other windows.
What solutions do Wayland users use for passing keybindings (ex: Alt-Tab) through to a VM being viewed with virt-viewer
or remote-viewer
in a Wayland WM? X11 had some kind of special hint to tell the WM to pass all keybindings through to the VM's viewer window. Do you just temporarily disable keybindings while viewing a VM? Is it possible to run virt-viewer
or remote-viewer
in a separate instance of Wayland/wlroots that only displays that windows and passes all keyboard input to it (e.g. the Wayland equivalent of xinit virt-viewer ... -- :1
)?
#virtviewer #remoteviewer #virtmanager #libvirt #qemu #wayland #labwc
Continuing my LabWC testing. Appears that LabWC or Wayland has issues with not allowing virt-manager
to capture keys/mouse when viewing a VM in fullscreen mode. Apparently this was a known bug in Gnome/Wayland that was fixed two years ago, but for some reason I'm running into the same issue on labwc 0.7.1 (latest version available on Ubuntu)?
Has anyone had luck running labwc under QEMU? Getting screen tearing running under Virtio Graphics, but better under QXL. Setting the resolution to the native resolution using wlr-randr seems to slow things down. Also having random freezes when moving my mouse around. Seeing lots of "Failed to commit output to Virtual-1" error messages when I check the stdout/stderr of labwc
.
SSS 🐂 (The Supreme Sexp System) proudly announces version v2.3.23 of the project:
https://codeberg.org/jjba23/sss
It brings stability fixes and small improvements, to #hyprland and #labwc configurations, as well as the ability to turn #emacs #lisp #keyboard #macros into clean persistent code that can be bound to keys.
SSS is a Lisp machine adventure with #gnu #linux #guix where #hacking culture is celebrated.
Can you get enough Emacs really ?

I recommend reading this evident provocation.

I am happy with #labwc.
I have configured the titlebar with double left click to iconify and middle click to lower, xfce4-panel as vertical #deskbar with intelligent autohide.
I use "Run or Raise" with single key shortcuts for most used applications.
Here is a link to an old implementation request of mine.
