Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

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 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.
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.
Your system information Steam client version (build number or date): Latest as of June 22 Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Debian bookworm Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No Have you checked for...
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.
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.
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.

Hey! Not sure there are a lot of "go-to" tenor recordings. The cats in the 50s used them a lot -- guys like Scatman Crothers and the like. Mostly I just play one because it's what I can do. I am a fiddle player, and when I ended my former music project during the 2020 shutdown, I needed to find a way to play so I could sing. Having learned strumming instruments by playing the uke, my muscle memory was such that I worried about those other two strings getting in the way. So I had a special tenor with a wider neck built for me and started woodshedding until I could confidently play out. Been doing it for four years now, and I'm not going back.
oh i meant YOUR tenor guitar tunes lol 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. π
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...
@jvw yeah i know Nick Cave's guy uses the tenor, albeit... i think he usually uses a "bass tenor" (slightly longer and tuned like a cello instead of a viola aka like a viola but an octave down). honestly my "tenors" are both electric as well, and one isn't even a tenor but a baritone ukulele i tuned like a tenor π

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?

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
It's to verify if either a configuration in Bazzite is the cause(such as your drivers), or if it is hardware related. The other comment asking if you installed the Nvidia version of Bazzite suspects driver issues as well, so a live USB would be able to rule it out or confirm it.
Alternatively, and probably the better option is to just take backups of your files and such and then reinstall Bazzite to the system, making sure you are using a version that is compatible with you graphics card. You don't seem as though you know a tonne about Linux, so I would probably recommend that over trying to rebase the OS, as it will generally be easier for you to do I think, and more completely insure system stability.
Someone fixed a similar issue by setting their display color accuracy to "Prefer Efficency" instead of "Prefer Accuracy"
you can boot ostree:1 change the setting, run sudo ostree admin pin 1 then rebase back to testing (not reboot to ostree:0) that should hopefully work around it
The card requires linux kernel 6.13.5 with split lock detect off, Mesa 25, and the latest linux firmware. Wendel from level 1 provided information in his post.
