Screenshots

[JakeStanger]

From the logs it looks like this is an issue immediately at startup, rather than one that occurs after some time. Are you able to confirm please?

It also looks like a Hyprland issue, or at least one with the IPC client. Are you able to confirm the version (or commit if on -git) of Hyprland you're using?

[salahoued]

The issue doesn't occur immediately at startup, it occurs after some time had passed, from the logs above I started ironbar at 10:45 and the issue occured at 13:46, the current instance is started at 14:51 and it's still working now at 18:01

Hyprland -v from openSUSE Tumblweed repos

[JakeStanger]

I started ironbar at 10:45 and the issue occured at 13:46

Oh you're right sorry, I missed that

[JakeStanger]

Have you seen this happen a few times? I'm trying to work out what would even cause a UTF 8 error and the only thing that comes to mind is the actual data scream is interrupted between the Hyprland socket and client.

[salahoued]

Yes, It did happen, I'd say every time I start ironbar, it's been a few days now that I started using hyprland+ironbar

[JakeStanger]

Still not 100% sure why it's happening but it looks to be a problem with the hyprland-rs crate rather than Ironbar.

I've just parsed the byte string in the error, which shows:

windowtitle>>55792127b3d0
windowtitlev2>>55792127b3d0,Lecteur multimédia VLC
                                          ^-- invalid byte

So for some reason it's not liking the é, despite being valid UTF-8.

[salahoued]

It seems right, right after running vlc the error is encountered, and after restarting ironbar with vlc still running there is no error and seems to be working fine,

I'm not sure could it have any effect on #809 ?

[JakeStanger]

I'm not sure could it have any effect on #809 ?

No that won't be related. I suspect that's flatpak-related but I've not had a chance to look yet

[salahoued]

OK, Thanks
