cage crashes with -r rotate the output 90 degrees clockwise

[ralpheichelberger]

cage version 0.1.5

there is no option -r ?? - not cool folks!

However, here is my solution for anyone who relies on changing the orientation of the screen:

services.cage = {
enable = true;
user = "kassa";
program = "${pkgs.writeScriptBin "start-cage-app" ''
#!/usr/bin/env bash
wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --transform 90 # Adjust command as needed
exec ${(pkgs.chromium).outPath}/bin/chromium
''}/bin/start-cage-app";
};

Indeed -r option has been removed from Cage as wlr output management protocol is now supported and allows more configurations e.g. you may apply two different transform for two outputs. So, you have to use a tool which know how to deal with this wlroots protocol such as kanshi or wlr-randr.
Apart from that, do you really observe a crash using -r option? Cage should just return an expected error for an unknown argument.

Hi - thanks for replying. Well, it seemed to me like a crash using it as a service in a NixOS configuration - no output where provided to any logging (e.g. journalctl) - I only found the "unexpected option" message after installing Cage and running it manually. However - I can't find any alternative other than using wlr-randr. How can one use wlr output management as an option for Cage? Am Mo., 11.

wlr-randr is an easy way to go for your purpose. Keep it like this.

no output where provided to any logging

I don't know how NixOS work but when using -r option, Cage exits with error 1 and print some details in standard output.

OK - works for me. However, I need to get rid of the title bar of my application - it should just run in fullscreen without any title bar and buttons - what can I do to accomplish that? Am Mo., 11. März 2024 um 15:20 Uhr schrieb Jonathan GUILLOT < ***@***.***>:

The -d flag requests clients to not draw decorations.

Or your application may have a fullscreen option which can be passed as argument on the command line.
