Pacman error regarding wlroots and swayfx #242

Closed Brittle73 closed 7 months ago

Brittle73 commented 7 months ago

Hello,

Starting within the last week or so I get the error below when trying to use pacman to update my Arch system. I have been able to get the rest of the stuff to update via yay and excluding wlroots, and usually if there is a small, wonky issue with updates like this it gets resolved quickly with further updates, but not yet here. I poked through the Issues page and did some Googling and am not seeing this issue, at least as far as my Goog-Fu goes. Is this a known issue? Do I likely have something misconfigured? Possibly I just need to uninstall the main pacman wlroots package? Is there another log, etc. that you need for troubleshooting that I may not have known about? I'd be surprised if nobody else was reporting this issue, but then again that's also assuming that I am not the only one experiencing it, so I figured I'd pass it by you.

Thanks!

You would probably want to install wlroots0.16 from the extra arch repos (uninstall wlroots 0.17 for now)

I was having this issue myself until I found a post about this (but I don't remember where I saw this - took awhile of digging around though)

For what it's worth, you need to do this with regular sway currently as well: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/sway/ --> libwlroots.so=11 (wlroots0.16)

Thanks! Closing, this will be resolved once upstream sway supports wlroots 17, and we perform a rebase

Sorry for the delay guys, it's been a hell of a month.

I just wanted to confirm that although the issue with wlroots 17 and Sway appears to not have been resolved, I was able to forcefully uninstall 17 and then install 16 per @zhurai recommendation. It looks like pacman is happy now. Thanks!

Just kidding... I now cannot log into my SwayFX session after a reboot. I will hop back over to 17 for now.

Fixed it for now using the comment by Raineling on: https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/18vja7b/updated_wlroots_yesterday_and_now_sway_doesnt_load/

yay -S --rebuild libliftoff wlroots wlroots0.16 swayfx swaybg swayidle swaylock

...and can now launch SwayFX.
