x11-misc/picom-13 missing default shader?

Problems with emerge or ebuilds? Have a basic programming question about C, PHP, Perl, BASH or something else?

x11-misc/picom-13 missing default shader?

  • Quote

When I try to start picom (recently updated from picom-12.5 to picom-13), I get the following error:

Code: Select all

 [ 04/03/2026 06:57:38.189 parse_shader_specification ERROR ] Couldn't find custom shader file with name "default"
[ 04/03/2026 06:57:38.189 main FATAL ERROR ] Failed to create new session.
Downgrading back to 12.5 resolves the issue, so I've masked 13 for now.

Should I file a bugreport?

Cheers,
EE

You could, but keep in mind that picom-13 is still marked as testing. So errors are likely to happen

PFL - Portage file list - find which package a file or command belongs to.
My delta-labs.org snippets do expire

We of course welcome and need bug reports for ~arch/testing issues :)
