Troubleshooting

Nvidia

If Electron clients are glitchy or lagging try setting these environment variables:

GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia

Cursors

If no cursor is showing (sometimes reported by people running vwmare), try adding WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 to ~/.config/labwc/environment.

If cursors do not update as expected, try installing a cursor theme (for example Adwaita) and set XCURSOR_THEME in ~/.config/labwc/environment accordingly (for example XCURSOR_THEME=Adwaita). labwc handles missing cursor themes by falling back on builtin old X11 cursors, but some applications do not resulting in the wrong or no cursor being set.

Logout

When using a laptop with an external monitor and the built-in monitor is closed, the system may go into hibernation when disconnecting. To avoid this, edit the configuration file `etc/systemd/logind.conf’ and set following to ignore (see logind.conf(5) manual for more info):

HandleLidSwitch=ignore
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore
