Does anyone in the Philippines order Solovair boots in the official store?

I've been meaning to get a pair of Solovair boots and the only official store I believe is uk.nps-solovair.com.

However as someone who lives in the Philippines, did anyone order Solovair boots and ship them to the said country where they lived, and what was the delivery time after checking out? Thanks.

For example, a Gaucho Crazy Horse 8 Eye Derby Boot costs £179 or Php. 15,000. But with added duties (£29.06 or Php. 2,434) and express shipping (£14.75 or Php. 1,235), the total would've been £222.81 or Php. 18,660.

Looking for King in Yellow wallpapers

Hello, I'm looking for the right King in Yellow wallpapers to match my Linux desktop, but most of them are AI generated unfortunately.

My only criteria is 1080p to 4k and that's all. Thank you!

Grim screenshot not working

Hello, I'm not sure if this is Linux related, I've been trying out Mango for quite some time, but I'm having a problem with Grim not doing screenshot according to the error log.

>[destroyed object]: error 1: Invalid stride (4100)
failed to screenshoot all sources

I tried different commands and none of them work except -h command. I set the XDG current desktop to mango, and I set org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Screenshot to wlr in mango-portals.conf, but I still get the same log. I'm not sure if this applies to Sway, but is there a workaround that could work? Thanks.

EDIT: It seems that Grim does not let me screenshot on a 1366x768 resolution.

Not being able to play Steam games on Niri

Hello, not sure if this sub fits, but I'm having a problem when playing Steam games on Niri.

First, they don't let me launch any game despite Steam tells me they were running. Second, I added spawn-at-startup "xwayland-satellite" in the config file expecting me to do its thing, but when I open steam through a terminal, it closes immediately with a log that says:

>XIO: fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server ":0"
after 161 requests (161 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Changing the compatibility tool to Proton Experimental or Proton CachyOS and setting display variable to :0 or :1 don't work, and when I try to play the game, not only does it crash Steam with the same X connection to :0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) log, the Discord app freezes.

This doesn't happen on KDE Plasma and Cosmic because I could play titles just fine. I have no idea what is going on, but I need this solution to be quick, considering I'm in the process of switching from KDE Plasma. Thanks.

EDIT: I added XDG_SESSION_TYPE "wayland' in the config file, but every time I try to launch Steam game, the app crashes.

RPGMaker games not launching on Niri properly

I'm on 3rd day of using Niri, but one thing that holds me back is not launching RPGMaker games properly including ones from Steam. I tried playing these games such as Look Outside and OMORI out of testing, but no game was launched at all despite Steam telling me they're running. Changing compatibility tools and adding gamescope setup in launch options don't work.

This doesn't happen on KDE Plasma because I could play these types of games just fine. So if you have any solution about this problem, please let me know. I'm also going to share the environment setup if you want. Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I added DISPLAY ":1" in the environment in case. I have xwayland-satellite and Steam set up in the terminal, but when I try to play the game, the Steam crashes with a log at the end that says X connection to :1 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)

CSS colours not working, even setting "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets" to true

Hello, I downloaded ElegantFox for testing and I set the following flags to true as well as adding the chrome folder:

  • toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets
  • layers.acceleration.force-enabled
  • gfx.webrender.all
  • gfx.webrender.enabled
  • layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled
  • svg.context-properties.content.enabled

Since the version of Firefox is 153.0.3 however, the colour CSS stuff is not working, even seItting these flags to true. I'm using Linux (CachyOS) and turns out, the Mozilla folder from root directory was moved to /.config. So now I'm looking for help to fix this issue. By the way, these codes from GitHub remain intact for 5 years.

Not playing audio from video

I've been using Waterfox for several months but there was a problem where the audio was not played from the video. YouTube and music sites work fine though.

I look up the pavucontrol to see the problem and turns out, the particular tab like Twitter doesn't appear in the playback while YouTube does. The only browsers that work on playing a video with audio on every site are Firefox and Chromium.

I'm using CachyOS running some wayland compositor and I have every Pipewire packages installed. Any answer would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Problem with playing video with audio on Waterfox (Or other Firefox forks)

Hello, I'm not sure if this subreddit fits, but I've been using Waterfox (Installed waterfox-bin via AUR) for several months now, but there's a problem I faced. I was browsing on Twitter and some social media apps and there's a video I want to watch, but no audio was played. YouTube and music sites work fine though.

I look up the pavucontrol to see the problem and turns out, the particular tab like Twitter doesn't appear in the playback while YouTube does and sometimes when I change the duration, the "media could not be played" error screen shows up. I tested multiple browsers installed via Arch pacman and AUR such as Floorp and Zen, but there's a same problem there. The only browsers that work on playing a video with audio on every site are Firefox and Chromium.

For reference, I'm using CachyOS, I have reset the entire profile, and I have every pipewire packages installed, even downgrading to the current one. Any solution would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Apps like Krita (appimage) not launching on Niri

I'm in the process of moving from KDE to Niri, but I'm having a problem with opening Krita appimage.

I'm running CachyOS with latest version of Niri, I downloaded and installed Krita 5.3.3 through the website, and here's the environment setting.

environment {
    QT_QPA_PLATFORM "wayland"
    QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME "qt6ct"
    QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME_QT6 "qt6ct"
    ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT "auto"
    EDITOR "kate"
    MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND "1"
    GTK_THEME "adw-gtk3-dark"
    XDG_MENU_PREFIX "arch-"
    BROWSER "waterfox"
    _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING "1"
    RUST_BACKTRACE "full"
}

Any solution to this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can people boycott Sony beyond physical media such as cameras, headphones, etc.?

I'm not sure if this is a right ask in this sub, but I've seen people especially gamers calling out to Sony for discontinuing physical disc and I agree with them, but what they don't realise is they owned Sony cameras, headphones, TVs, etc.

I'm particularly against Sony for this decision, but for photographers, videographers, headphone listeners and TV viewers, can people boycott Sony beyond over physical disc discontinuation in 2028? If so, what brands are you switching to?

What terminal are you using?

I've been using Kitty and it has been my go-to ever since. I tried Ghostty but it feels a bit slow when launch at 1 second on KDE compared to Kitty and Konsole.

Trying to get custom resolution working on KDE

Hello, I heard about kscreen-doctor adding custom resolution in Plasma 6.6 and I've wanted to try that. I typed kscreen-doctor remove output.HDMI-A-1.addCustomMode.1920.1080.60000.full in the terminal, but when I apply it, the error says Couldn’t apply display configuration: The driver rejected the output configuration

For the record, I am running CachyOS and an Nvidia GPU connected to HDMI at a latest driver (610.43.03), and I am using a 19 inch monitor that supports up to 1366x768. Any ideas how to get it working? Thanks.

Discord 75% scaling issue

Hello, I updated Discord on KDE, but it just turns into this mess when scaling down to 75%. I selected both "Applying scaling themselves" and "Scaled by the system" and it still doesn't work, because this app is running on either XWayland, Wayland or something.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I couldn't afford a new monitor as a result.

Trying to get scaling apps to work on scale 0.75

Hello, I've wanted to try out Niri as a KDE user since Mango didn't satisfy me reliably, but the problem is that I couldn't get the programs right after I set the scaling to 0.75. Things like Reaper, Discord and Steam are too big. I tried adding ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT "auto" in the environment variable and it still doesn't work. Discord is scaled down, but it is unusable.

I couldn't afford to get a new monitor, so is there anyway to deal with this scaling? Thanks in advance.
