Post-Installation Notes

Optionally configure defaults for new meets and library options:

$ ~/Documents/metarace/venv/bin/trackmeet --edit-default

KDE/Plasma (Wayland)

KDE Plasma will incorrectly mask function key modifiers, rendering trackmeet action keys unusable. The workaround is to remove any keyboard shortcuts for Fn or Ctrl+Fn keys in Settings - Keyboard - Shortcuts.

Debugging messages are sent to the systemd journal, view with journalctl:

$ journalctl -f

Gnome Desktop (Wayland/X11)

By default, Gnome uses a system font which does not have fixed-width digits. As a result, rolling times displayed in trackmeet will jiggle left and right as the digits change, and right-aligned time columns will not align correctly at the decimal point.

To correct this, install gnome-tweaks and change the system font to one with fixed-width digits eg: Noto Sans Regular.

Debugging messages are sent to the systemd journal, view with journalctl:

$ journalctl -f

XFCE4/labwc (Wayland)

Remove any C-Fn or Fn key mappings from the Labwc configuration file ~/.config/xfce4/labwc/rc.xml under <keyboard><keybind key=...> elements.

Debugging messages are appended to ~/.xsession-errors, view with tail:

$ tail -f ~/.xsession-errors

XFCE4 (X11)

Under Settings, Window Manager, Keyboard, locate the "Workspace N" entries and clear the shortcuts for each one by selecting the "Clear" button.

Debugging messages are appended to ~/.xsession-errors, view with tail:

$ tail -f ~/.xsession-errors

Manual Installation
