10:17 <romildo> When trying to launch foot with sudo in labwc, I am getting the error:

10:17 <romildo> $ sudo -A foot

10:17 <romildo> error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is invalid or not set in the environment.

10:17 <romildo> err: wayland.c:1456: failed to connect to wayland; no compositor running?

10:17 <romildo> Other terminals work. Any clues?

10:20 <dutchie> the error indicates that foot needs the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable to work, so you could `sude --preserve-env=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`. but i'm not sure that will do what you want. perhaps `foot sudo -Ai` or something might be better

10:20 <dutchie> if you want a foot instance with a root shell

10:41 <Consolatis> romildo: I'd rather start foot normally and then execute sudo -i within foot. Can also be given as startup argument, so foot sudo -i

11:43 <romildo> Preserving XDG_RUNTIME_DIR works. Also using the -i option to sudo.

11:44 <romildo> Thanks.

18:55 <ahesford> I'm noticing some weird interplay with initial-window-size-chars and fractional scaling, and I'm hoping for some guidance on fixing the behavior

18:56 <ahesford> I have font=Hack:size=9, initial-window-size-chars=90x30, and two displays with scale 1.5

18:56 <ahesford> opening a foot instance gives me $LINES == 29, $COLUMNS == 85

18:57 <ahesford> if I change to scale 1 or scale 2, the window is properly sized

18:57 <ahesford> if I set dpi-aware = yes, the window is properly sized

18:58 <ahesford> if I go back to scale 1.5 and dpi-aware = no, but change font to Hack:size=8.5, I get 94x30

19:00 <ahesford> I'm thinking render.c lines 3969--70 have the wrong logic

19:12 <ahesford> hrm, maybe not

19:32 <ahesford> this seems to be a race with fractional scaling

19:32 <ahesford> https://somebits.link/u/p/52261382c0/foot.dbg.log

19:33 <ahesford> configures at scale 2, picks a size, then gets mapped, is told a fractional scale of 1.5, and adjusts the contents incorrectly

20:04 <ahesford> confirmed, render.c lines 3940--3941 are to blame

20:05 <ahesford> initial configure sets a size based on scale 2, fractional scale takes effect and it applies the "stashed" size (scaled)
