Hi, if I might suggest something - I just learned today that this package is actually newer then what's in extra (and I use Cosmic for few months) because I was a bit desperate to get rid of some of the bugs from alpha 7
Shouldn't this be either bumped to something higher or have some suffix suggesting that this is whatever is the newest in upstream?
@yochananmarqos yep, upstream fixed it. Thanks for alerting me, and thanks for keeping up with all these packages!
@smsteward: See the latest commit. It appears upstream fixed it before I had a chance to attempt to reproduce the issue.
After recently updating this package, I also seem to be encountering the issue with the dconf profile. Flatpak and other GTK apps are complaining about unable to find the named dconf profile and falling back to null configuration, which breaks dark mode and other decorations.
I have my makepkg set to build in RAM, and it looks like when the dconf profile is installed, it's appending the builddir to the file name, hence the breakage. When I try to run flatpak update, for instance, I get this:
(flatpak update:3662): dconf-WARNING **: 11:05:04.077: unable to open named profile (/tmp/makepkg/cosmic-session-git/pkg/cosmic-session-git/usr/share/dconf/profile/cosmic): using the null configuration.
Any known fixes for this? It's not deal-breaker by any means, just curious.
@yochananmarqos: I understand now, thank you for clarifying
@meocoder: A VCS package pulls the latest commit when it's built. That's up do the Chaotic-AUR repo maintainers. VCS packages are not out of date just because there's new commits. See Arch User Repository: Flagging packages out of date.
I am using the prebuilt packages provided by Chaotic-AUR for your cosmic-*-git packages. I noticed that some dependencies are outdated, such as (cosmic-idle-git, cosmic-applets-git, cosmic-panel-git ...). Could you update the versions of these outdated packages?
I believe doing so will help Chaotic-AUR rebuild them with the latest source.
@alphabitserial: Implemented, thanks.
As of this change, it looks like distro packages should provide a separate dconf profile for COSMIC: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-session/pull/90
I believe that not having one in place is the reason why on recent versions of COSMIC, GTK applications are not picking up preferences like "Show minimize/maximize button in titlebar", although it's possible I'm off-base.
@mmstick: There are separate Vulkan drivers for Intel, AMD & NVIDIA. See the Vulkan wiki article for more info. Keep in mind Arch is a DIY distro. It's up to the user to install which packages they need.

I build in a clean chroot. If you have any issues building with
makepkgor an AUR helper, that means there may be an issue in your local environment or your AUR helper may not actually be helping.AUR comments are not the place for troubleshooting. There are forums and things for that. Please only comment if there is a packaging issue.
