Explains why KDE is such a buggy and clunky hot mess.
Wana see something "cool"?

Check out female names in this article:
It lists current board members of X.Org. It explains a lot.

Cool. Now how about fixing kwin and mouse handling so I don't have to fuck around with toggling fullscreen off and on to play Warframe?
Can't you add kwin rule? Or is it on troonland?

Well, I can't edit anymore so forgive me for faggy doublepost.

No stalker child, graphical glitches and broken plugins are not bugs, enjoy prison!
Both of shit got broken and widgets are force disabled if they are built for Qt5, of course you are flooded by reports.

And weren't distros supposed to hold until 6.1?

 
Ah fuck here we go plasma-desktop-6.0.1-1 is out of Arch's testing repos and in their standard repos. Guess I get to hold off updating for the next month. Really wish they'd wait till some of these bugs were fixed then shoving it down everyone's throat.
 
Until two days ago, Plasma 6 had this weird issue where you couldn't download new extensions from the settings menu. However, you could run knewstuff-dialog6 on Konsole and download stuff from there. They fixed it and now I'm very happy! :)

Plus, they're porting more and more extensions from Plasma 5 to 6.

However, I'm not about other window managers, but the brightness keys on my laptop don't works on Kwin with WaylAIDS, however it works fine using X11. Using Meta+F7/F8 as a workaround for now.

well my mergerfs data pool just borked and i don't know why. i can rename, move, and delete files fine but I cannot create files or move them to the pool except by adding them to one of the mounted disks directly
Code:
@:/data$ touch test
touch: cannot touch 'test': Not a directory
@:/data$ mkdir test
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘test’: Not a directory
I have absolutely no idea what changed as everything was fine yesterday

I assume you've rebooted?
Out of disk space? The defaults as I recall are kind of goofy as far as how it selects which disk to write. It looks like I added the option "create=mspmfs" which doesn't make it aggressively try and keep directories together, You might try checking the logs, I just don't know where mergerfs stores its logs. Also could be one disk has gone read-only, can you write to all of them independently?

I can write to all drives independently. any file already in the pool i can move, rename and delete without issues. i did reboot and there seems to be no change
Code:
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
/dev/disk/by-uuid/8bae2d90-a810-4042-b45a-bef34a591824    /disk/1    ext4    defaults    0    0

/disk/* /data fuse.mergerfs cache.files=auto-full,dropcacheonclose=true,category.create=mfs,moveonenospc=true,minfreespace=20G,fsname=mergerfsPool,nonempty 0 0
as far i can tell I have full read write access with 0777 across the board, but i still have the same issues when attempting as root. all disks have about 1tb of fee space

i can't think of anything that could've changed, as i was literally downloading Dragon ball and DBZ the night before and it was moved to the import folder in the pool without issues.

although... I have a README file in /disk that contains my notes for how to add a new drive to the pool. it's been in there a while and never caused issues before, but it seems to have popped up when I tried to run mergerfs.rebalance

Edit: removing that file and rebooting fixed it. it seems the trigger was when the free space of each of the drives in the pool dropped below the free space of my SSD that is mounted at / and them mergerfs attempted to treat the README file as a drive mountpoint

Code:
$ mergerfs.balance /data
file: movies/Johnny English Strikes Again (2018) [imdbid-tt6921996]/Johnny English Strikes Again (2018) Bluray-1080p.mp4
from: /disk/2

That's really odd. How do you always have the odd problems?
Check "dmesg" and journalctl possibly with journalctl -u mergerfs or just journalctl | grep mergerfs
The errors may not be mergerfs but there should be an error in some log, somewhere.

Testing just now I managed to get a similar error to yours when my /disk/ directory had a regular file in it and I reloaded the mergerfs mount using a wildcard.

You can also look at the xattr command to query mergerfs(may need to install it)
xattr -l /data/.mergerfs
perhaps fields like(from my system)
user.mergerfs.branches: /disk/4a=RW:/disk/4b=RW:/disk/4c=RW:/disk/4d=RW
user.mergerfs.srcmounts: /disk/4a:/disk/4b:/disk/4c:/disk/4d
and make sure those show the proper disks and no extra disks(or files).
 
turned out it was a PEBKAC problem. i removed the README file from the folder all drives are mounted to then rebooted and it's fine now. the trigger was when my SSD had more free space then the other drives.
Looks like if you want it to be smarter you can change from /disk/* to /disk/*/ so it only looks at directories. Note, there is no space between * and / on that second one, font looks odd.

I already regret updating and may rollback. So many fucking bugs that made me MATI. Certain games will no longer run, Steam acting funky, full screen applications will not allow me to click anything on my second monitor, weird graphical glitches while typing/browsing, the list goes on. I already switched back to x11 and everything works fine again. Can't believe they took this out of testing because it still feels like it's in alpha beta.
Reject modern software, embrace tradition.

It just works!
If I can customize it easily then why the hell not? Might give it a try.
 
I finally figured out how to set recyclarr (updates radarr and sonarr download profiles). turns out it needs the external url and not the internal one for th app.
 
Wtf

So my entire internet went down and it took rebooting the modem and the routers twice to bring it back up. After that my server was inaccessible, and I realized that every single IP address on my network had moved from 192.168.0.x to 192.168.4.x. the gateway was now 192.168.4.1 and the DHCP address range was at 4 also. Wtf

I got everything worked n now except mdns/avahi is still not resolving for my server and I don't know why I can't connect to my server using its local address

Realized that the old router that's now a wifi access point still had its DHCP server on despite being in access point mode
