gBar does not launch and takes up 100% CPU usage #109

Closed Nizzi29 closed 3 weeks ago

Nizzi29 commented 3 weeks ago

Describe the bug When trying to start gBar using gBar bar 0 it does not open and the process is taking up 100% of the CPU

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Follow steps under "Building and installation (Manually)"
  2. /usr/local/bin/gBar bar 0

(Same problem with yay -S gbar-git)

Expected behavior gBar should be visible and not take up 100% CPU

Do you have a pulseaudio server/daemon running (pipewire-pulse counts too)? If not, then that is very likely the issue and starting the pulseaudio/pipewire service should fix it.

So I've got it to work now and was about to delete this post since it wasn't needed anymore but since you already answered and I guess it could help someone in the future:

I was using pulseaudio and checked with htop to make sure it was running so I didn't think that was the problem. Regardless I changed my hyprland.conf so that it would start pipewire instead of pulseaudio when launching because I read somewhere that it is somewhat more compatible with a lot of stuff than pulseaudio. I rebootet and startet bluetooth.service manually before starting Hyprland because I don't know how to automate that yet. Thats all I changed. So I guess switching to pipewire solved it?

I'm still really new to the whole Arch / "configuring your entire operating system manually" stuff. I'm glad it's working now so I can finally move on to the next problem thats gonna keep me from ricing my system :D

Thanks a lot for the quick answer, looking forward to using gBar. Love your "Implementing it myself is fun and a great excuse to learn something new!" approach btw!
