05:21 DottorLeo: Hi!
07:57 mupuf: DottorLeo: one day, you shall get yourself a bouncer 😝
08:00 DottorLeo: uh...what is it? :D
08:01 mupuf: it is a way to remain connected even when your computer is off
08:01 DottorLeo: oh!
08:02 DottorLeo: i have to read Konversation help, maybe it support this feature!
16:37 LambdaComplex: hey, i'm having a weird issue with my mouse cursor and i think it might be related to the amdgpu driver
16:37 LambdaComplex: i'm just gonna link to this forum thread that i found since they're having the exact same issue as me (with a video of the problem) https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=445605
16:43 LambdaComplex: i'm running i3 on a recently-updated arch linux system; gpu is a 7900 xtx. happy to answer any questions that would help troubleshoot this
18:37 KitsuWhooa: I have absolutely no idea what could cause that, but I have to say, that is quite the bug. Do you use VRR maybe? Maybe it could have something to do with the clocksource?
18:38 KitsuWhooa: Only way I can see this happening is the whole system freezing and skipping input events somehow
18:39 iive: what's the issue?
18:40 KitsuWhooa: 19:37:46 <LambdaComplex> i'm just gonna link to this forum thread that i found since they're having the exact same issue as me (with a video of the problem) https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=445605
18:47 iive: interesting, it's also using wayland.
18:48 KitsuWhooa: isn't it cinnamon?
18:48 iive: i remember the time when video cards had a special function to overlay the mouse cursor, so it was never actually drawn, thus no syncing was involved.
18:48 iive: or so I though.
18:48 KitsuWhooa: pretty sure hw cursor is still a thing
18:53 KitsuWhooa: I don't think that's the issue here, but you can also try Option "SWcursor" as mentioned seen in amdgpu(4) if you're using xf86-video-amdgpu
18:54 iive: Does wayland honor these config files?
18:55 KitsuWhooa: I guess I should've quoted 19:43:42 <LambdaComplex> i'm running i3 on a recently-updated arch linux system; gpu is a 7900 xtx. happy to answer any questions that would help troubleshoot this
18:56 KitsuWhooa: but also, mint uses cinnamon, which is not wayland
18:59 LambdaComplex: KitsuWhooa: pretty sure the VRR answer is no; i think both my monitors are too old to support it
19:00 LambdaComplex: ''xrandr --props | grep vrr_capable'' shows 0 for everything
19:00 KitsuWhooa: are you using libinput? If so, check your syslog or equivalent to see if it's complaining about the input not being handled fast enough (I forgot the exact message)
19:01 LambdaComplex: oh, one other behvaior that might be helpful: if i click and drag a floating window while the problem is occurring, the window position does not update while the mouse cursor is moving quickly
19:01 KitsuWhooa: And also check the clocksource. If using tsc, try hpet for fun. You can change it in sysfs in realtime
19:02 LambdaComplex: and i'm pretty sure i am using libinput
19:02 LambdaComplex: i suppose my xorg log file would answer that?
19:02 agd5f: LambdaComplex, might be seeing this: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3709
19:03 KitsuWhooa: funky
19:03 LambdaComplex: agd5f: that certainly sounds like the same issue to me
19:04 LambdaComplex: [111762.081] (II) LoadModule: "libinput"
19:05 LambdaComplex: suppose that's a yes to the libinput question
19:05 LambdaComplex: (plus, no mention of evdev in my xorg log file)
19:05 KitsuWhooa: There's a proposed patch in that issue
19:06 LambdaComplex: so there is!
19:06 LambdaComplex: i suppose i should try applying that patch to see if it fixes the issue for me?
19:06 KitsuWhooa: I'd suggest so
19:06 iive: good idea
19:07 LambdaComplex: i have not compiled a kernel in ages
19:08 LambdaComplex: any chance someone could hold my hand a little?
19:08 LambdaComplex: or should i go bug my distro's channel for that? :p
19:11 KitsuWhooa: ideally, yes
19:11 KitsuWhooa: if it's deb based you can make bindeb-pkg in the linux source tree
19:11 LambdaComplex: >lead to extreme CPU usage when moving the mouse
19:11 LambdaComplex: can confirm i see Xorg's CPU usage spiking (per htop) when moving the mouse
19:12 LambdaComplex: KitsuWhooa: nope, i'm on Arch
19:12 _ds_: “make help” & a little searching tells me that it's “make tarzst-pkg” for Arch
19:12 KitsuWhooa: oh they added arch packages?
19:12 KitsuWhooa: must be relatively new
19:13 LambdaComplex: i'll go bug #archlinux on libera about it :)
19:14 _ds_: Hmm. Reading a bit more says “make pacman-pkg”…
19:15 _ds_: I don't see it not being one of those two, though.
19:20 LambdaComplex: i have been instructed to use PKGBUILD/makepkg and that definitely sounds like the least painful option so that's what i'm going with :P
19:20 KitsuWhooa: for a single patch, probably
19:44 LambdaComplex: well, it's compiling
21:34 LambdaComplex: alright, finally got that done
21:34 LambdaComplex: the patch worked!
21:38 LambdaComplex: thanks KitsuWhooa and agd5f :)
21:39 KitsuWhooa: awesome
21:39 KitsuWhooa: you should probably mention it in that thread
21:58 LambdaComplex: KitsuWhooa: the one on gitlab?
22:35 _ds_: Yes, that one. (Looks like you'd be the fourth one to say that the patch works.)
22:37 LambdaComplex: i suppose i can do that later today when i get the chance
22:37 LambdaComplex: (hopefully the signup process isn't too painful)
22:38 _ds_: If you have a Github account, you can use that.
22:38 _ds_: (there are a few other account types which also work for this)
23:04 LambdaComplex: Oh, that IS painless
