If you are using the nvidia proprietary driver for any reason, you have two choices:
- Uninstall it and use nouveau instead
- Use X11+i3 and close your browser tab
If lsmod | grep nvidia | wc -l shows anything other than zero, your bug report is not welcome here.
Otherwise, please include the following four components in your bug report: sway version, debug log, configuration (if applicable), and an explanation of steps taken to reproduce the issue. If sway crashes, also include a stack trace.
Obtain your version like so:
swaymsg -t get_version
If this doesn't work, use:
sway -v
- Sway Version:
Obtain a debug log like so:
sway -d 2> ~/sway.log
This will record information about sway's activity when it's running. Briefly reproduce your problem and exit sway. When preparing a debug log, brevity is important - start up sway, do the minimum work necessary to reproduce the error, then close sway.
Upload the debug log to a pastebin service such as gist.github.com, and link to it below.
- Debug Log:
You should try to reproduce the issue with the default configuration. If you cannot, please reproduce with a minimal configuration, upload the config to a pastebin service, and link to it below.
- Configuration File:
Finally, explain the steps you took in plain English to reproduce the problem below.
- Stack Trace, if sway crashes:
If you use systemd, you should be able to open the coredump of the most recent crash with GDB like so:
coredumpctl gdb sway
And then type bt full to obtain the stack trace.
