03:02 <leon-p> nothing out of the ordinary. lswt 1.0.4 uses the wl_output.name event, which was added in wl_output version 4. Your river build only has the older version 3. So you need to either (a) update river, or (b) downgrade lswt to a version that still uses xdg_output.name

05:01 <NickH> wl_output version 4 is provided by a more recent wlroots?

05:07 <NickH> Or more recent river?

05:07 <NickH> The problem exists on a river build from the head of the main branch 7 days ago.

09:08 <ifreund> NickH: each river version is compatible with exactly one wlroots version, more recent river and more recent wlroots mean the same thing

09:08 <ifreund> what wlroots version are you building river against? river master requires 0.15 since december or so

09:09 <ifreund> and what does river -version say?

09:54 <leon-p> NickH: sorry for the confusion, when I said I was on the latest river release, I was mistaken. My laptop runs a slightly newer commit.

09:56 <ifreund> shouldn't matter, the latest release also uses wlroots 0.15

20:08 <NickH> river and wlroots versions at https://0x0.st/oA98.txt

20:08 <NickH> Seems something strange is going on.

20:31 <NickH> Think I found it.

20:32 <NickH> For some reason the Debian package for wlroots 1.15.0 applies a patch: Revert "output: add support for protocol interface version 4"

20:46 <NickH> I just built and installed wlroots 0.15.1 which no does not have that patch.

20:48 <novakane> oh, so they made a patch for broken software even if that break the good ones huh

20:49 <NickH> I restarted river and now it's all good. See https://0x0.st/oA91.txt

20:49 <NickH> Thanks for helping me understand and resolve the problem.

20:51 <NickH> The wlroots package in Debian is maintained by people who package sway and a bunch of other related packages.

20:51 <NickH> Not sure why they would have applied that patch.

20:53 <NickH> I guess I should keep an eye on their repo... https://salsa.debian.org/swaywm-team/wlroots

20:59 <ifreund> classic debian

20:59 <alebastr> they probably made the patch because at the moment of wlroots 0.15 release wayland was not updated to 1.20 in the target branch. I did the same for Fedora backports, so I totally get their motivation

20:59 <NickH> LOL

21:02 <NickH> Yeah from the git log for their package, it was to allow building with wayland 1.19. See https://0x0.st/oA9O.txt

21:12 <NickH> Or directly at https://salsa.debian.org/swaywm-team/wlroots/-/commit/ddbdf518ff316c51c59e317b8a8a340c31e0f5a7
