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.

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

The positive results sparked union pressure in Iceland, and now 86% of Icelandic workers either work shorter weeks or have the right to ask to do so.“

"Melanie O'Brien, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, told NRC that #Israel's deliberate blockade on "food, water, shelter, and sanitation" convinced her the #Netanyahu government was carrying out a #genocide, while Segal pointed to "openly genocidal statements" by #Israeli leaders.
"But for all it is about the sum of what would apply separately as 'ordinary' war crimes," NRC reported. "The picture as a whole makes it a genocide. That is how the term is meant, says [British professor Martin] Shaw: 'holistic.'""

"Tl;dr: Cyber criminals bribed and recruited a group of rogue overseas support agents to steal Coinbase customer data to facilitate social engineering attacks. These insiders abused their access to customer support systems to steal the account data for a small subset of customers. No passwords, private keys, or funds were exposed and Coinbase Prime accounts are untouched. We will reimburse customers who were tricked into sending funds to the attacker. We’re cooperating closely with law enforcement to pursue the harshest penalties possible and will not pay the $20 million ransom demand we received. Instead we are establishing a $20 million reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible for this attack."
There's a reason companies in the critical infrastructure sector (which banking & finance is a part of) now have robust insider threat programs.
Perhaps Coinbase might want to step their game up a bit.

in reply to lyoko • • •I have never heard about this, can you link to your source for this? Also what's the symptom here exactly?
AFAIK steam and games directly use the kernel devices for controller input, not any X11 extensions.
Edit: Wait!? Do you want to use the controller as keyboard + mouse? Inside of GDM? Because that might use XTEST after reading about it, since XTEST seems to be some kind of testing protocol that allows one to emulate a mouse.
lyoko
in reply to gnuhaut • • •No steam uses XTEST under the hood for controller. You can see a bug report here. You could try to disable the XTEST extensions and the steam client will crash if you connect with a controller.
For the symptom, If I do a
xdpyinfo
it will print a list of enabled extensions and no matter what i've tried it does not have the XTEST extension.Steam for Linux requires the XTest extension · Issue #9707 · ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux
GitHubgnuhaut
in reply to lyoko • • •Interesting. I will say I suspect still this is to make the controller act as a mouse or keyboard somehow, which steam can do.
One interesting thing is that it says in the bug report, that steam also requires uinput, which is used to create virtual input devices from userspace. And maybe (speculating) you need that for XTEST to work on wayland or something, or maybe steam can use uinput instead of XTEST if it's not available.
Or maybe it's security-related somehow (Regular programs being able to create virtual keyboards is kind of a security issue).
For me the output of
getfacl /dev/uinput
will list my username with read/write permissions. I have no idea what is responsible for giving me this permission but there it is.Can you check with getfacl in both sessions?
lyoko
in reply to gnuhaut • • •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 printWarning: XTEST extension unavailable on '(null)'. Some functionality may be disabled; See 'man xdotool' for more info.
. Thenull
here is concerning to me. Not sure how it says on other system.[SOLVED] Login kicks me right back to GDM login screen / Applications & Desktop Environments / Arch Linux Forums
bbs.archlinux.orggnuhaut
in reply to lyoko • • •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?
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.
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?
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 atjournalctl --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 likesudo journalctl -u lightdm
.
