Freiheit in Ketten
Ich sah der Menschen Angstgehetz;
ich hört der Sklaven Frongekeuch.
Da rief ich laut: Brecht das Gesetz!
Zersprengt den Staat! Habt Mut zu euch!
Was gilt Gesetz?! Was gilt der Staat?!
Der Mensch sei frei! Frei sei das Recht!
Der freie Mensch folgt eignem Rat:
Sprengt das Gesetz! Den Staat zerbrecht! -
Da blickten Augen kühn und klar,
und viel Bedrückte liefen zu:
Die Freiheit lebe! Du sprichst wahr!
Von Staat und Zwang befrei uns du! -
Nicht ich! Ihr müßt euch selbst befrein.
Zerreißt den Gurt, der euch beengt!
Kein andrer darf euch Führer sein.
Brecht das Gesetz! Den Staat zersprengt! -
Nein, du bist klug, und wir sind dumm.
Führ uns zur Freiheit, die du schaust! -
Schon zogen sie die Rücken krumm:
O sieh, schon ballt der Staat die Faust! ...
Roh griff die Faust mir ins Genick
des Staats: verletzt sei das Gesetz!
Man stieß mich fort. - Da fiel mein Blick
auf Frongekeuch und Angstgehetz.
Im Sklaventrott zog meine Schar
und schrie mir nach: Mach dein Geschwätz,
du Schwindler, an dir selber wahr!
Jetzt lehrt der Staat dich das Gesetz! --
Ihr Toren! Schlagt mir Arm und Bein
in Ketten, und im Grabverlies
bleibt doch die beste Freiheit mein:
die Freiheit, die ich euch verhieß.
Man schnürt den Leib; man quält das Blut.
Den Geist zwingt nicht Gesetz noch Staat.
Frei, sie zu brechen, bleibt mein Mut
und freier Mut gebiert die Tat!

Gnome Display Manager (gdm) and XTEST
Hi, I've recently discovered that steam client on linux requires the XTEST extension to handle input from controller. However, I can not enable XTEST on gdm no matter what I've done. Switch to lightdm solves it instanly but I prefer gdm.
Could you provide some hint how to debug it and have you experienced that before? Thank you very much!
I am using Arch Linux with Gnome and Wayland.
like this
Unfortunately I can not login with GDM using X. I am having the same bug as in here :/ For wayland, I have both read/write permissions for my username.
Also I can use the PS5 controller as a mouse just fine. Another symptom I see is when I run xdotool mousemove 150 150
, it will print Warning: XTEST extension unavailable on '(null)'. Some functionality may be disabled; See 'man xdotool' for more info.
. The null
here is concerning to me. Not sure how it says on other system.
Ok so it's not the uinput permissions.
When you use lightdm, do you use it to log into a Gnome wayland session, same as with GDM? Or is there any other difference between using GDM and LightDM? What exactly is/isn't working, and how can you tell it is related to the XTEST extension?
Also I can use the PS5 controller as a mouse just fine.
Ok, this could maybe be the kernel driver creating a "real" touchpad device. Steam is able to create fake/virtual mouse and keyboard devices, I suspect that's what steam uses XTEST and/or uinput for. So even though your PS5 touchpad works, that does not invalidate my theory that steam wants XTEST for mouse/keyboard input fakery, because that's what exactly what XTEST is for.
So technically, Steam wouldn't require XTEST for controller input, it would require XTEST to map controller inputs to fake mouse or keyboard inputs. I don't know what exactly steam does if XTEST isn't present, like what exactly doesn't work?
And XTEST is an X11 protocol extension, it probably doesn't work properly under Wayland anyway.
The null here is concerning to me.
Dunno, '(null)' might just refer to the default connection (or server or screen or whatever X11 object this refers to), so not sure if this something to be concerned about. I presume X11 clients in general do work? Like xterm or xeyes work, right?
I am having the same bug as in here :/
The fact that you cannot log in may seem/look like that exact issue you linked to, but that's from 2019 and may have a different cause. In general, GDM will start some executable, (i.e. gnome-session or something like that, or at least it used to be gnome-session, haven't used gnome in a while) which if it exits/crashes this will kick you back to GDM. It could crash for many reasons.
You should check the logs for sure for both issues. X11 session logs (relating to Gnome X11 not starting), should be in ~/.xsession-errors
(or ~/.xsession-errors.old
for the previous session, I think). There may be a /var/log/Xorg.0.log
for xorg, which I guess could also be the thing crashing (maybe). There may be other things logged with journald that could be relevant. journalctl --user
should show all the logs for the user session. Logs from Gnome, since it runs as your user, would presumably show up there. My guess is all the relevant logs for a Gnome wayland session would also be there, as well as (hopefully) Xwayland errors/warnings, since Xwayland is actually the thing that would report it doesn't support XTEST.
Note that journalctl likes to show the oldest logs first, so look at the timestamps. You can press G
to scroll to the end. There are various ways to filter messages, look at journalctl --help
. You might want to use --grep
to look for anything related to XTEST or xwayland.
Lightdm and GDM are systemd units (systemctl list-units
), the logs would show with something like sudo journalctl -u lightdm
.

but either way, i did listen to Leaving Can't Be Wrong the other day and quite enjoyed it!
The tenor guitar tuning is what attracted me to the instrument. In a lot of ways it makes much more sense than tuning in fourths.
Although I haven;t played anything in 4 months because I injured a finger that refuses to heal. 🙁
Now I want to hear, too!
I hear you on the wider neck. My wrist gets so tired playing on mine because the neck is so small.
Do you use standard CGDA or one of the droney tunings? What breakthroughs did you have on the instrument and what helped lead you there?
Karine Polwart is the only tenor player I know of off the top of my head but once you leave the sound you start to hear them more often. My YouTube feed sends me vids of electric tenor which sounds interesting...
honestly my "tenors" are both electric as well, and one isn't even a tenor but a baritone ukulele i tuned like a tenor 😛
New user, new computer, issues with GPU
Have all new stuff all AMD. Running bazzite and the gpu ( 9070 xt ) does not work, when I plug in the monitor to either port type it just compresses everything up at the top of the screen all warped. Everything works fine on the MB ports not sure what I might have done to screw it up. Saw some posts talking about proper versions for the kernel and mesa and both those seemed to be new enough for the GPU ( 6.14.4-104.bazzite.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) ) and Mesa 25.0.1
Those errors seemed to be in games from their posts though my monitor will not even display the desktop or anything else properly what am I missing?
edit
I was waiting for the card to come down in price and I put my old 3060 TI into this new system at first. How do I check if the drivers updated to new ones or if I have to do it manually? Maybe that is what is wrong
