tell me the most ass over backward shit you do to keep your system chugging?
here’s mine:
sway struggles with my dual monitors, when my screen powers off and back on it causes sway to crash.
system service ‘switch-to-tty1.service’
[Unit]
Description=Switch to tty1 on resume
After=suspend.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target
‘switch-to-tty1.service’ executes ‘/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh’ and send user to tty1
#!/bin/bash
# Switch to tty1
chvt 1
.bashrc login from tty1 then kicks user to tty2 and logs out tty1.
if [[ "$(tty)" == "/dev/tty1" ]]; then
chvt 2
logout
fi
also tty2 is blocked from keyboard inputs (Alt+Ctrl+F2) so its a somewhat secure lock-screen which on sway lock-screen aren’t great.
But there is a setting to disable that? I don’t remember where I found it because I don’t remember where to find any settings, but you can definitely disable automatic shut off of audio devices.
Yes, you kinda can disable suspend, but it will still cut off spdif transmission even then. Normally that wouldn’t be an issue but my receiver is super old and takes its sweet time to start actually playing audio after it gets a signal
Ah, didn’t know it worked differently for spdif, never had anything nice enough to use it.
