@atzanteol All’s good. Yea, reason for the post was that even though I took the partitions offline it wouldn’t still let me resize. So I think the best next move would be just booting into a USB and see if it lets me.

The whole disk well, only the boot is separated. The rest of the partition has the whole space controlled by LVM. Interestingly even though that may be the setup something was just rejecting my resize request.

Sadly have more to say but Mastodon limit is hitting haha. nutshell

@atzanteol I didn’t do anything fancy to be honest the resources pointed at me are not that different from what I did (example)

lvresize -r -L -80G /dev/mapper/laptop--lvm-home

But I think I got my cue from Arch Linux guide and will boot into a USB and do my resize commands.

Basically end result is just resize home to give root more space. All partitions in LUKS.

I think I got it from here *knock on wood* all that’s left is just backup home, cross fingers and hope resizing goes through.

@atzanteol LVM is inside LUKS. For some reason, resizing stops even though I unmounted the partition it is still being marked as “active”. I disabled my SDDM and everything, rebooted, and still couldn’t do it.

my reaction was “well… maybe there’s something else holding this, LUKS maybe?”

@jac Hey, thanks for sharing!

They have a lot of useful information.

cc mostly in case if you find it useful @Max_P wayland headless https://games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/dev/wayland.html

https://games-on-whales.github.io/gow/monitor.html#_force_xorg_to_use_a_custom_edid

And a mention of custom EDID for a monitor to be registered huh . Guess I’ll follow up on this as well eventually, less work setting things up and more things to learn.

@Max_P Anyhow I think I should be good. That was all super interesting looking at the freedesktop documentation it does answer some things I was wondering about myself.

Now I don’t think I feel in the mood to toy with creating my own display manager, maybe as a pet project but man I can’t imagine anyone new be like “so there’s a centralized documentation/communication channel for all of this, right?” 😆

@Max_P Just to pick your brain and sorry for asking so many questions but what if from what you said nested compositors/clients/etc I could just create a separate virtual screen and have WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 (or 0:1) wouldn’t I be technically be able to capture that and project it for my needs?

I guess I’m just jumbling/reorganizing my mind with this new information. I feel like the question would be “can I create a virtual monitor within a parent session?”

Anyhow, thanks again!

@Max_P That looks amazingly promising regardless. I’m still bummed and a bit confused on the one shared GPU business I thought it wouldn’t matter if you ran multiple graphical applications regardless or is this imposed by Wayland at the moment? If not wayland would X11 do the same?

Just throwing questions more out of curiosity.

How… do you find all these pieces to glue together? Who or what is putting these out there “hey I want to initiate an desktop env”

Thank you!!
