oh yeah, I forgot SDDM was the author behind this, thanks!

Another way to customize sddm under Kinoite

Because the config file of sddm is under /usr/share it is not possible to install sddm themes and change background pictures as normal. @nullrequest has thought of making sddm themes a rpm package and use rpm-ostree to install it. see hear However, she only provides source code but not binary program which makes it really inconvenient to use. ...

I would look and see if anyone has reported the same on Fedora with your Hardware

Kyle Gospo•5/2/24, 3:13 AM

Since we're built from it

Salladin•5/2/24, 3:14 AM

thanks will try checking googling more.

VVagrantWinds okay wait, now i'm confused and have to check what i did wrong. it worked. then ...

VagrantWinds•5/2/24, 3:15 AM

lmao okay. i have to touch the key during boot BEFORE the password prompt loads

VagrantWinds•5/2/24, 3:15 AM

glad i figured that out. reproducable. back in buisness.

Krauzer•5/2/24, 3:20 AM

yeah this did not worked for me

VagrantWinds•5/2/24, 3:24 AM

that's because sddm's settings are in the immutable section of the file system

VagrantWinds•5/2/24, 3:24 AM

if you don't copy and rbind them to a mutable directory in /var you can't change them

Sddm config is located at /usr which is kinda dumb tbh

VagrantWinds•5/2/24, 3:26 AM

the above fedoraproject linked hacky way works. i've done it myself. do note that your copied folder doesn't pick up any updates to the /usr folder though so you want to manually re-copy when sddm gets updated

VagrantWinds•5/2/24, 3:27 AM

and yes, having the config in /usr does feel pretty dumb but maybe they have a reason for it?

Astral•5/2/24, 3:28 AM

@Kyle Gospo have reported the issue on the gnome gitlab. They may be potentially looking at a different approach for this kind of fractional scaling in future anyway so god knows how relevant it may be but worth reporting

Kyle Gospo•5/2/24, 3:29 AM

Thank you!

Astral•5/2/24, 3:30 AM

again, not sure if they're going to even use this method for stable and if not then I may try and figure out what the heckers is going on myself to try and make it more stable so it can be plonked in as some sort of stop gap for folks like myself

Astral•5/2/24, 3:30 AM

but we shall see

Daph•5/2/24, 3:30 AM

Thank you for reporting!!

Astral•5/2/24, 3:31 AM

I may not be the best coder but I do enjoy finding stuff that's broken and figuring out what's causing the breakage and why

VagrantWinds•5/2/24, 3:31 AM

everyone needs CQ/QA

Astral•5/2/24, 3:32 AM

I just really really like solving problems

Astral•5/2/24, 3:33 AM

or at least figuring out what's breaking, when and why

Astral•5/2/24, 3:34 AM

may not have all the knowledge I need to fix it but finding the breakages and isolating it can be hard enough as is

Daph•5/2/24, 3:34 AM

it's like a puzzle lol

Astral•5/2/24, 3:34 AM

exactly

Astral•5/2/24, 3:34 AM

it's like

Astral•5/2/24, 3:34 AM

"damn ok so this fell over. Why did this fall over at this specific moment?"

Astral•5/2/24, 3:38 AM

OH THAT'S ANOTHER THING

Astral•5/2/24, 3:39 AM

(and this one isn't our fault lmao)

Astral•5/2/24, 3:39 AM

obs studio on linux has some uh

Astral•5/2/24, 3:39 AM

jank

Astral•5/2/24, 3:39 AM

in GNOME

Astral•5/2/24, 3:39 AM

under wayland

Astral•5/2/24, 3:39 AM

where you can't click and drag panels around

Astral•5/2/24, 3:39 AM

to arrange them

Astral•5/2/24, 3:39 AM

apparently it's a QT thing?

Astral•5/2/24, 3:42 AM

the only way I've found to get around this

Astral•5/2/24, 3:42 AM

is logging into an X11 session

Astral•5/2/24, 3:42 AM

doing all your hanky jank panel stuff there

Astral•5/2/24, 3:42 AM

and then loading it up in a wayland session

Astral•5/2/24, 3:42 AM

even then you lose some bits and pieces

Salladin•5/2/24, 3:43 AM

i am not familiar with immutable distros, trying to debug an issue, anyone know how i can modify this file

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Salladin•5/2/24, 3:43 AM

i don;t see it under that path

VVagrantWinds that's because sddm's settings are in the immutable section of the file system

Krauzer•5/2/24, 3:43 AM

so if I simply copy them to my home it'll respect my home config?

Krauzer•5/2/24, 3:44 AM

idk if SDDM checks home dir before root

Astral•5/2/24, 3:45 AM

not sure if using "obs-studio-portable" in ujust changes weird obs stuff (or if that's even a different package I dunno but I guess I'ma find out)

AAstral not sure if using "obs-studio-portable" in ujust changes weird obs stuff (or if ...

Krauzer•5/2/24, 3:46 AM

you can inspect it by using ujust --show commandujust --show command

Astral•5/2/24, 3:46 AM

oh it seems to be different than the one installed via the portal yeah

Astral•5/2/24, 3:46 AM

the portal one is just a flatpak

I adjusted it in the Login Screen (SDDM) settings. It prompted me for my password after changing it
