libnma
Hello!
I'm using GNOME with NetworkManager and as mentioned here establishing a OpenVPN based connection through gnome-settings fail with "secrets: failed to request VPN secrets #3: No agents were available for this request.". After installing additionally libnma (without -gtk4) it works. I wanted to add that to the troubleshooting section but you were quick to remove my addition.
Is it possible that this issue depends on the used environment i.e. [GNOME,KDE,XFCE].

- "failed to request VPN secrets" — so this is only relevant if NetworkManager needs to request some secrets. You can enter the secrets with
nmcli --ask, or you can store them somewhere so that NetworkManager doesn't need to request anything — in these cases libnma is NOT required. - It might be worth adding a new troubleshooting section (or modify an existing one) so that GNOME users can fix this GUI problem, but having a GUI is not required anyway.

- Actually didn't need to ask for secrets because everything was provided. I assume the code somehow tries it unconditionally, fails and stop executing. I will add a troubleshooting section.
- I guess for this reason both libnma-gtk4 and libnma (gtk3) are listed as optdepends. Hoschi (talk) 17:53, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Nvidia fbdev
I may be recalling this wrong, but I believe fbdev is needed for xwayland, so if you for example try to run SDDM with defaults without fbdev, you'll get a black screen launching a Wayland session from it.
Having said that, setting modeset to 1 sets fbdev to 1 in current drivers iirc. C0rn3j (talk) 12:19, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- SDDM and Xwayland seem to work well: https://youtube.com/watch?v=JdNhal9l7F0 — andreymal (talk) 20:01, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
Gamemode
I don't understand why you removed my edit to the gamemode page. All I did was add clarification to the launch options to show how to preserve existing launch options. When following the current instructions, if the user has existing launch options, there is no detail on how to preserve them. Gsgleason (talk) 15:47, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- This should be obvious after reading Steam#Launch options which explains how
