Sway fails to start
When starting sway via gdm, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then it crashes and goes back to gdm.
When starting it from a console, it shows that sway segfaults.
Here's my system.yaml:...
Solution:
It's not a blendos issue. sway works as expected, you just install it and run it.
user/blend broken stuff tracking
I'm just digging through the
user and blend code and am noticing many issues, so I'm gonna track them here.How can I set this kernel parameter "amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x200"
Need to change this parameter to fix artifacts on ASUS TUF A16.
The Reddit post I found the solution in https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/1fabknf/solved_desktop_environment_artifacts_on_asus_tuf/...
Solution:
do
sudo nano /etc/default/grub, scroll down to the lower GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add the option there, press CTRL + O to save, CTRL + X to exit and run sudo akshara updateInstallation fails: `move_mount system call failed: no such file or directory`
This happens when running BlendOS installation
Also, can a tag be added for BlendOS installation pls?...
Solution:
update: my repo was a bit broken, but it's been fixed now, and it works
ssh into podman containers blendos
I was trying to some of the blendos arch podman containers with vscode and I was wondering how to setup ssh on the podman containers to be able to remote into the container
Startup/Autostart Containers..
Ok, last inquiry and then I'm taking a deep dive into blendOS this weekend.
I have not seen an option/ability within settings or the System app, so..
Is it possible to autostart one or more containers when the system boots up? Maybe adding something to [System] to toggle autostarting..? So we don't have to wait on the first app launched from a container to start each container......
Binary icons in Dock when running containerized app.
This is purely aesthetic, not a mission critical issue..
I have two apps that I run specific versions of, and therefore have to install from files. Both .deb files.
Both apps install fine, both have their actual icons in app view (gnome), both can be dragged down to the Dock, and both apps run just fine.
However when I start either of the apps I do not get a normal 'open indicator' on the docked app icon, I get a binary gear icon that pops up at the end of the Dock.
Not a critical issue of course, more of an ocd issue, but is there anything that can be done to the container or binary or whatever so the app icon of the containerized apps behaves like all the other 'native' apps pinned in the Dock?...
Error: Read-only file system (edit hosts)
This is probably a general sys-admin issue/solution, but as I have never not been able to edit a hosts file, under any operating system, I do not know how to address.
Need to redirect/block a couple of domains to localhost to prevent some apps from changing settings/features once they detect updates are available.
I attempted to edit the /etc/hosts file and /usr/etc/hosts file but both return {Read-only file system}.
I have created a hosts file with the redirects I need in /usr/local/etc/, which saved, but is not being read by the system.....
How, where, what can I do with this read-only file system to accomplish what would normally be done through simply editing the hosts file??...
Solution:
Just sudo nano /etc/hosts
Akshara update does not work because of missing yaml?
When I try
sudo akshara update now, I get an error message:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/use/bin/akshara", line 23, in <module>...Solution:
if that succeeds and you add the folder to path just do
pipenv install pyyaml then pipenv run sudo akshara updateBlack screen after updating track to plasma
Hello, I'm a new user looking to use plasma for my desktop environment. As per the documentation, i updated system.yaml with the following:
track: plasma
Then saved the file and ran the following command in Console:...
v3 --> v4 upgrade path?
Will there be a way to upgrade from BlendOS v3 to BlendOS v4?
I ask because the docs I'm finding online say "rolling release", but the v4 info I can find says it needs to be installed on top of a clean Arch install.
I'd very much like to be done with the os-reinstall circus, and I also don't want to spend time building atop v3 if doing an OS re-install will be required for v4+ rolling release....
Solution:
So you have to reinstall (you should have backups of your data anyway)
BlendOs installation failure
Hello, greetings, I installed BlenDOS on a Thinkpad T480, in triple Boot with Arch Linux and Windos 10, in separate partitions, the installation was apparently successful, but at the time of entering BlendOs I get the following error:
error: file '/boot/amd.ucode.img' not found Press any ket to continue....
My video driver is intel.
I don't know how to solve this situation.
Thank you for your support to solve it. Cordially...
Associations remain *in Blend Settings* after container is deleted
The actual association is gone, but it's listed in Blend Settings after the container was deleted using
user.
(note that the association was not created there, it was created automatically, and up until now Blend Settings had never even been opened iirc)...`user create-container` says distro doesn't exist
When running
user create-container fedora fedora-39, it prints the following:

Any plans to add Ubuntu 24.04 LTS container support soon?
Hello, it is me again. I gave the blendOS another chance since V3, struggled a bit, then finally managed to install it on my predefined lvm partitions. I am lovin' it! However, I am curious about if there are any plans to support Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (24.04.1 as now) containers, or are there any way to manually implement it? Thanks for your time and inputs!
Cannot install to lvm partitions
When try to install it to my /dev/A/ROOT, and set User directory to /dev/A/HOME (with /dev/sda1 as Boot directory), the installer instantly finishes with errors. First I install the "lvm2" package, then the systems starts to being unable for recognizing ext4 or btrfs in those lvms. I utterly tried every possible solution with no avail, any help would be appreciated🍀
Updates reinstall every app and take forever
It makes sense it takes very long to update since i have quite a few packages to install but blendos is seemingly reinstalling every single package I list in
system.yaml?
Am I using this wrong? Whenever I want a new package I put it into system.yaml then run sudo akshara update. With nixos I could just rebuild my system and it would take much less time while only installing and updating stuff that needs to be installed and updated...Solution:
the package data is cached so future builds won't take as long
Programs in containers won't launch from .desktop file
I don't think I've changed anything, but programs in containers now won't launch from their .desktop file. I can still run them from my shell.

I just updated my system (gnome track) and it seems that the version of paru installed needs libalpm.so.14 and because it is missing, it can not install AUR packages anymore.?
Does anybody have a suggestion?
