Voidrice: ST + Brave keeps Crashing

[20jam]

Hay

So I've installed a fresh arch Manjaro i3, then installed LARBS.

The first Issue I faced is with the window manager, I choose DWM, but i3 was working instated. I ignored this issue, I figured something to do with the arch manjaro i3 community version. then Brave as well as chromium keeps crashing, specially when I switch between desktop and now after getting some heavy load on my terminal st crashed. I had to install another terminal and it didn't crash.

Do I have to install archlinux without Manjaro or i3 version? or it can be fixed by some sort of report I can share here to find the bug

Regards

regarding ST it's probably because ttf-symbola AUR package is broken and LARBS uses it ... download it from this Arch custom repository ownstuff custom Arch repo and install it with pacman -U packagename or add it to your pacman.conf (the pacman.conf didn't work for me for some reason) ... you also need the nerd-fonts-complete package from the AUR .... problem fixed ;)

You're right, I've installed nerd-font and change fontconfig and now it stooped crashing, Thanks.

[kronikpillow]

I prefer Luke's fontconfig actually, I got used to it, so what I did was find a custom repo in the arch wiki that contains all the fonts from the AUR, and installed the font from there :) the link is in my above comment :)

Thank you , now what left out for me

• making dwm running instead of i3,
• making st non transparent, and
• making browsers stable after switching back and forward between workspaces

Update st to my newest build. A little hack in it from earlier today should avoid the crashing problem.

making dwm running instead of i3,

Run echo dwm > ~/.local/share/larbs/wm. Or just change your ~/.xinitrc to boot dwm.

making st non transparent, and

Create an xresources file and set st.alpha: 1. Or kill xcompmgr and remove it from ~/.xprofile to prevent it from starting next X session.

making browsers stable after switching back and forward between workspaces

I don't know what this means.

[20jam]

Hay, luke Thankkkkkkkkks. You are a truly time saver.

So this happens with mpv and other tools as well .
When I open any browser, it works fine no crashing but when I have it on one workspace “1” and i switch to “2”. after couple of switches it freezes becoming unresponsive, then when i switch back & forward to it, it either crashes “the screen goes black”, or it shows as if I never change workspace, the only indicator is in the bar “1” “2”. in mpv the sound works but the screen black.

for st , how to I update it?

Thanks a lot luke.

[LukeSmithxyz]

Run a yay update, or just run yay -S st-luke-git, or go to the Github repo and install it manually.

Okay, that's an interesting problem... Do you have a computer with not that much memory?

[20jam]

Thanks, My memory is 16gb. Do think because I may missing appropriate packages for my drivers?

$ less ~/.local/share/larbs/wm
dwm

$ less ~/.xinitrc 
case "$LARBSWM" in
       dwm) while :; do
               ssh-agent dwm || break
               done ;;
       i3) exec i3 ;;
       *) echo "No valid LARBS window manager detected." ;;
 esac

redshift -O3500; xset r rate 300 50; exec dwm

and it still wont work :|

[20jam]

After changing both larbs/wm & xinitrc the dwm just won't start. Is there other place where i3 is set. I use arch Manjaro i3 btw.

Which package needs to be downloaded and installed from link in above comment?

[prakash2033]

Got it, i installed ttf-symbola from there and fixed the problem. Also installed nerd-fonts-complete from AUR. Thanks

Reinstalling arch with out manjoro i3 fixed my issue
