Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 13:49:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+Jv8O0C5D2V3UsJZsf2CcznDo7OoEvLMoDJVewZn6jqsCS1xQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Ok, just one more update on the hardware issue: I 'resolved' it, and
maybe I can help others by commenting here.
Specifying i915.enable_guc=0 as a kernel parameter at boot will ensure
the kernel doesn't get 'wedged' and now sway works on the libre kernel
too. I get the blinking cursor again if I forget.
I tried adding the kernel parameter to the config like this:
(sysctl-service-type config =>
(sysctl-configuration
(settings (append '(("i915.enable_guc" . "0"))
%default-sysctl-settings))))
But that does not work, so I have to add the parameter at boot time.
Maybe I'll create a new issue for that.
So now I can go back to actually using sway, and fixing my power
management! And perhaps, if it becomes annoying enough, the creation
of the /run/user/<greeter id> directory...
