Gnome Display Manager (gdm) and XTEST in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] lyoko@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you for all your help! I've finally found out what I did wrong. Gnome has it own way to enable/disable an extension which I followed here because of another bug. It is so annoying I am thinking about switching to lightdm permantly.

Thank you very much once again!

Unfortunately I can not login with GDM using X. I am having the same bug as in here :/ For wayland, I have both read/write permissions for my username.

Also I can use the PS5 controller as a mouse just fine. Another symptom I see is when I run xdotool mousemove 150 150, it will print Warning: XTEST extension unavailable on '(null)'. Some functionality may be disabled; See 'man xdotool' for more info.. The null here is concerning to me. Not sure how it says on other system.

No steam uses XTEST under the hood for controller. You can see a bug report here. You could try to disable the XTEST extensions and the steam client will crash if you connect with a controller.

For the symptom, If I do a xdpyinfo it will print a list of enabled extensions and no matter what i've tried it does not have the XTEST extension.

Hi, I've recently discovered that steam client on linux requires the XTEST extension to handle input from controller. However, I can not enable XTEST on gdm no matter what I've done. Switch to lightdm solves it instanly but I prefer gdm.

Could you provide some hint how to debug it and have you experienced that before? Thank you very much!

I am using Arch Linux with Gnome and Wayland.

yay I choose the PS5 controller because I like its ergonomics more but I will probably have to go to the same route as you :/

also do you zen kernel or the mainline kernel and which version of kernel you are using ?

I've disabled everything and Steam still crashed. My wild guess is that my Steam client will crash when any controller is connected to the pc and not only the ps5 controller :/

If i start Steam client with -nojoy everything works fine but i can not use the controller with Steam :(

Hi, I would like to ask if you have any experience with the PS5 controller with Steam on Linux. Steam crashes (segfault) everytime I connect the PS5 to my pc regardless bluetooth or usb :/

One particular setup with my pc is I am using the linux zen kernel on arch instead of the mainline kernel. Does anyone of you have similar setup with me and has the PS5 controller working ?

Thank you very much!

Edit: forgot to mention that I could use the PS5 dualsense as a mouse and use dualsensectl to control it so i guess it is more or less a Steam problem :/

Edit: Thank you everyone for your supports. I find out that for some reason I don't have XTEST extensions enable which steam need to use. If I switch to another display manager with XTEST enabled, steam works again

Place to buy Monero for online payment (lemm.ee)
 

Hello, do you know any place to buy Monero for online payment ? It seems that LocalMonero is winding down and I don't want to use some big exchanges like Coinbase for obvious reasons. Thank you very much!

An Opensubsonic server in Rust (github.com)
 

I am selfhosting Navidrome for sometimes but its lacks of support for multiple values really bugs me. Since I am having some free time, I've decided to write an opensubsonic server in rust (why rust? you guess). The notable features are:

  • In-memory transcoding with ffmpeg c api. Faster transcoding with no ffmpeg binary required and no need for pre-configurated transcoding profile.
  • Multiple values for artists/album artists/etc.
  • Permission models music folder per user.

It is still actively developped and lacks some Opensubsonic features (playlist/starr) and some external integrations like lastfm. However I would like to post it get some feedback about it.

Thank you very much!
