02:15 <leon-p> szgy: you can't add custom state to it, no. I was thinking about adding a few unused values for WM state, but I am not sure, would feel very arbitrary. Properly storing WM state in the C lib would require a key-value store for each object which I don't think I want to do. You can use the user_pointer to create your own state object in memory, which I think is the cleaner solution. I'll lkely move the user_data pointer to the state struct

13:29 <bitblt> hello

13:30 <bitblt> anybody has experience running river in libvirt VMs?

13:30 <bitblt> I have various strange issues

13:31 <bitblt> first of all, the cursor is flipped, and secondly everything seems veeeeeeery sluggish

13:31 <bitblt> i'm using a regular VM with virtio-gpu and local-spice with acceleration enabled

13:32 <bitblt> xorg on the same VM is super snappy, like native

13:36 <tiosgz> bitblt: if you're on 0.3.6, there's an issue which could cause this, so pls upgrade to 0.3.7

13:36 <bitblt> tiosgz: i'm on 3.7.1

13:36 <bitblt> 0.3.7-1* (latest package from arch repos)

13:38 <tiosgz> that's cool then. i'd recommend you share river's debug log so others can take a look, but i expect i'm unable to help here

13:39 <bitblt> do I need early kms or something for river to work correctly?

13:39 <tiosgz> no idea wrt flipped cursor other than possibly a different cursor theme than you're used to

13:41 <ifreund> bitblt: try setting WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1

13:42 <ifreund> also check river's debug logs to see what renderer wlroots is using, if it's doing software rendering due to missing GL extensions that can be very slow

13:45 <bitblt> ifreund: ok, weird behavior for the cursor, now I see a cursor (that I suppose it is from the host) and when I move it another (correctly oriented) cursor follows my cursor with ~1-2 second lag

13:47 <bitblt> i also see the output logs (after exiting river) that report that it is using a GLES 2 renderer with mesa / virgl

13:47 <bitblt> so I suppose it does not do software rendering

14:04 <ifreund> I dunno then, I suspect the issues is in wlroots or virgl then

16:59 <sewn> i dont think that xwayland fd limit fixed the problem

16:59 <sewn> after some more time of playing it seems to appear less (when there are less apps ofc) but it still crashes

17:02 <gbrlsnchs> sewn: what is crashing exactly? a game? steam altogether?

17:02 <sewn> xwayland reaches the fd limit when im playing game

17:02 <sewn> so xwayland crashes

17:02 <sewn> game is from steam

17:04 <gbrlsnchs> but is that a specific game or happens with any game?

17:04 <sewn> man dangit it happened again

17:04 <sewn> any game

17:05 <sewn> socketpair failed: No file descriptors available yep its xwayland had to log it this time to mbe sure

17:40 <gbrlsnchs> there's something funky going on with your system

17:40 <gbrlsnchs> what distro are you using?

18:01 <sewn> uhh chimera?

18:02 <sewn> steams proton uses esync which uses lots and lots of file descriptors

18:02 <sewn> and uses alot of them

18:02 <sewn> rivers fd limit is 4096 and i replaced the code to remove the limit

18:03 <sewn> currently there is a fix to make xwayland not inherit rivers fd limit

18:03 <sewn> but it isnt working for me

19:53 <gbrlsnchs> sewn: which chimera, q66's or that gaming distro ChimeraOS?

19:53 <sewn> I mean i did say chimera not chimeraos

19:54 <sewn> also yuck chimeraos

19:54 <gbrlsnchs> I see, but I cannot read minds so I had to confirm

19:54 <gbrlsnchs> have you tried a lower refresh rate to see if it in fact has something to do with that? I've never faced that issue using Proton/River/Steam/Xwayland

19:55 <gbrlsnchs> Try narrowing down the possibilities

21:54 <Industrial> Hi. I found river yesterday and I'm loving it already. I made my config with TypeScript (BunJS) and it works great: https://github.com/Industrial/nixos-dotfiles/blob/main/features/window-manager/river/.config/river/init

21:55 <Industrial> I'm wondering what kind of bars people are running. More specifically, I'm trying polybar but when I start it, it will sit in the middle of the screen and not act as a top bar. I'm sure that I forgot something.

21:56 <FireFly> I just use waybar

21:57 <Industrial> FireFly: Is there a specific way you start it? Or do you just call `waybar &` in your `init` file?

21:58 <FireFly> yeah, just that

21:59 <Industrial> okay

23:16 <bwbuhse> Industrial: https://codeberg.org/river/wiki/src/branch/master/pages/Recommended-Software.md#status-bars

23:16 <bwbuhse> but also, does polybar work on Wayland at all
