Updated to Linux kernel 6.8.8-zen - safeeyes not starting #573

Closed ArchieLinux closed 2 days ago

ArchieLinux commented 1 month ago

This is an installation issue, not a program bug per se. But this seems to be the place to report the issue:

I noticed that the safeeyes icon is not appearing after today's regular update to Arch/kernel 6.8.8-zen1-1-zen and a reboot. My system shows it is installed but not functional.

So I uninstalled it (yay -Rc safeeyes) and then explicitly rebuilt the package clean (i.e., invoking yay -S safeeyes to commence a clean install).

Still no luck. Can't seem to get safeeyes to start up anymore. :shrug:

==> Cleaning up... [sudo] password for {xxx}: error: invalid option '-s'

Everything seems to work perfectly until this simple error message (above) which is the final line in the terminal.

Any thoughts as to why would be appreciated?

Same for me, with the Flatpak or AUR installation. I'm on Gnome 46 on Arch Linux. It started with the version 46 of Gnome.

@sol2070 Sadly, I gave up. Perhaps I'll check back and reinstall some day. For now, I'll just plan to have my eyesight continue to deteriorate ;-)

@ArchieLinux I will try https://flathub.org/apps/net.hovancik.Stretchly , although I'd prefer Safe Eyes.

I am on 6.9.4-zen kernel in Endeavour OS, and the issue does not occur with the updated AUR package (v2.1.9).

archisman-panigrahi commented 2 days ago

I am closing the issue as it cannot be reproduced.

If it is still present, please reopen and post the output of the command safeeyes.

Yes, sorry - didn't have time to re-test until now. It appears to be functioning again. Thank you!
