 Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2022 12:04 am Post subject: [SOLVED] sway background problems |
 |
|
Hi, I'm running Sway.
Sometimes it wouldn't load wallpapers chosen randomly from a folder, so I checked the log:
| Code: | 2022-06-30 20:59:07 - [swaybg-1.1.1/background-image.c:44] Failed to read background image: out of memory.
Sway was compiled without gdk_pixbuf support, so only
PNG images can be loaded. This is the likely cause.
|
I checked and I have jpeg in my USE flags on /etc/portage/make.conf:
| Code: | USE="elogind -systemd swaybar wayland X xorg dbus hwaccel jpeg git ssh threads persist postproc cups text bluetooth icu nss pulseaudio minizip -kde gui curl gnuplot opengl readline vulkan googledrive cairo egl pdf acpi alsa speex v4l lua screencast x264 npm gtk3 -doc udev -networkmanager pipewire truetype"
|
I also created the file /etc/portage/package.use/sway with
| Code: | gui-wm/sway -swaybar swaybg swayidle swaylock swaymsg tray wallpapers X
|
After running doas emerge -auDN @world and rebooting the problem persists.
Any clue on why is this happening?

From the ebuild: | gui-wm/sway/sway-1.7.ebuild: | 25 DEPEND="
36 swaybar? ( x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf:2 )
45 wallpapers? ( x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf:2[jpeg] )
72 local emesonargs=(
76 $(meson_feature swaybar gdk-pixbuf)
|
From that, I would conclude that if you set USE=-swaybar, you may be disabling gdk-pixbuf support. Your error message suggests that you want gdk-pixbuf, so you should not set USE=-swaybar. |

Hi Hu, so I changed my /etc/portage/make.conf] and /etc/portage/package.use/sway to
| Code: | USE="elogind -systemd wayland X xorg dbus hwaccel jpeg git ssh threads persist postproc cups text bluetooth icu nss pulseaudio minizip -kde gui curl gnuplot opengl readline vulkan googledrive cairo egl pdf acpi alsa speex v4l lua screencast x264 npm gtk3 -doc udev -networkmanager pipewire truetype"
|
| Code: | gui-wm/sway swaybar swaybg swayidle swaylock swaymsg tray wallpapers X
|
So now I have swaybar flag activated as you said I should but the problem is still present |

swaybg-1.1.1 has a gdk-pixbuf use flag, that is not set on by default.
I'm pretty sure the original message had nothing to do with sway per se, even though it said sway, it should have read swaybg.
With a quick check
| Code: | /tmp/swaybg-master $ grep -rB1 -A2 compiled
background-image.c-#if !HAVE_GDK_PIXBUF
background-image.c: "\nSway was compiled without gdk_pixbuf support, so only"
background-image.c- "\nPNG images can be loaded. This is the likely cause."
background-image.c-#endif // !HAVE_GDK_PIXBUF |

seems about right - never thought of that, because i always use the same backround anyway https://0x0.st/oQzo.png 
please add gdk-pixbuf to your make.conf and emerge @world
