Removing xf86-video-intel driver fixed font issue (at the price of performance), thank you.
But now borders of windows in all styles except Breeze became oversized. Oh well ...

Fonts in wayland session are OK.Hi all,
after latest upgrade all the fonts became huge. KDE display and font settings are OK as far as I can tell.
Something broken at X server level?Thanks
My bad! Thanks.
Hi,
FreeCAD fails to install, can't retrieve package "med":

and so on and so on ...- Edited
Installer used in application I need is 32 bit (at least I think so) and fails to run on 64 bit Wine.

Great. Does flatpacked wine can install and run 64 bit Windows apps? The only Windows application I really need is 64 bit.
BTW I've got Wine and Steam working in chroot with full 3D acceleration, I can run 32 and 64 bit Windows apps, 32 and 64 bit Linux apps. I'll update my first post - some additional steps were necessary.
This post is about running 32+64 bit Wine on Kaos or any other 64-bit only Linux distribution.
Not very space and memory efficient but relatively simple way is to install another minimal 32+64 bit Linux distribution and Wine in chroot environment.Debian Linux has suitable tool, called debootstrap https://packages.debian.org/buster/debootstrap. I simply downloaded it and untared to / of my system (maybe someone could package it for Kaos).
Then steps are relatively simple. First select place in your system where you want Debian to go:
# CHROOT=/opt/debian
Run debootstrap. This will install minimal 64-bit Debian buster (current stable distribution) system to selected directory. Use nearest Debian mirror.
# sudo debootstrap --arch=amd64 --variant=minbase buster $CHROOT http://ftp.debian.org/debian
Now you need to mount some Kaos filesystems to be available for chrooted applications:
# sudo mount -t proc proc $CHROOT/proc
# sudo mount -t devpts devpts $CHROOT/dev/pts
(and add entries to /etc/fstab).Now edit file $CHROOT/etc/apt/sources.list and add these 3 lines:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main #deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main #deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/Debian_10 ./
Now switch to chrooted Debian:
# sudo chroot $CHROOT
Run these in Debian. First enable i386 (32 bit) support:
# dpkg --add-architecture i386
Update packages and install some tools:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install dialog
# apt-get install locales
# dpkg-reconfigure locales
# apt-get install vim
# apt-get install wget
# apt-get install gnupg
# wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
# apt-key add winehq.key
# wget -nc https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/Debian_10/Release.key
# apt-key add Release.key
Now open /etc/apt/sources.list in editor (for example vi which we installed earlier) and uncomment last two lines. Then refresh package list:
# apt-get update
And finally install Wine:
# apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
(Wine 6.0) or
# apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel
(Wine 6.2)
Add some user to chrooted Debian:
# useradd user
# exit
for Debian root account and go back as simple user:
# sudo env -u HOME chroot --userspec=user $CHROOT
And try to runwinemine
. Wine should start, install additional packages and load Minesweeper game
Now# exit
chrooted Debian and try to start Minesweeper from Kaos command line:
# sudo env -u HOME chroot --userspec=user $CHROOT winemine
Minesweeper should start again. To install Windows apps, copy installers to $CHROOT/home/user, go to chrooted Debian as user and runwine installer.exe
.TODO:
- Figure out how to run chrooted Wine without sudo.
- Figure out why chrooted Wine can't find OpenGL.
- Figure out how to add Windows apps to KDE application menu.
Problem solved. Adjusted display refresh rate from 60 Hz to 50 Hz and back to 60 Hz in System settings and flicker went away.
Hi all,
after last update to Plasma 5.21.0, screen started to flicker in X11 session. It does not flicker in login screen and in Wayland session. Is it known issue? Is it possible to revert upgrade to older Plasma version?
Thanks.
