ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

hibernation setup installs keyboard-backlight system-sleep hook non-executable, so it never runsrevision 1 · captured 2026-09-28 21:29 UTC via poll

omarchy hibernation setup installs the keyboard-backlight system-sleep hook non-executable, so it never runs.

Cause

The packaged source ships mode 644, and the installer copies it with cp -p, faithfully preserving that mode:

# bin/omarchy-hibernation-setup
sudo cp -p "$OMARCHY_PATH/default/systemd/system-sleep/keyboard-backlight" /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/

Modes after running the setup:

-rw-r--r--  /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/keyboard-backlight
-rw-r--r--  /usr/share/omarchy/default/systemd/system-sleep/keyboard-backlight   (omarchy-settings 4.0.0-1)

The neighbouring hook, installed correctly, for comparison:

-rwxr-xr-x  /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/unmount-fuse

systemd-sleep(8): "executables in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/ ... All executables in this directory are executed in parallel". A non-executable file there is silently skipped.

Steps to reproduce

  1. omarchy hibernation setup
  2. stat -c '%A' /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/keyboard-backlight -> -rw-r--r--
  3. Hibernate. The keyboard backlight is never turned off, so the hook's purpose (preventing the ASUS keyboard controller from blocking S4) is not served.

Expected

The hook runs with pre hibernate and zeroes the keyboard backlight.

Suggested fix

Ship default/systemd/system-sleep/keyboard-backlight with mode 755, or use install -m755 instead of cp -p in the setup script.

System

  • Omarchy 4.0.0-1, omarchy-settings 4.0.0-1
  • systemd 261 (261.2-1-arch), kernel 7.1.8-arch1-3

The visible impact is ASUS-specific, but the hook is inert on every install that runs hibernation setup.

View raw text
`omarchy hibernation setup` installs the `keyboard-backlight` system-sleep hook non-executable, so it never runs.

## Cause

The packaged source ships mode 644, and the installer copies it with `cp -p`, faithfully preserving that mode:

```bash
# bin/omarchy-hibernation-setup
sudo cp -p "$OMARCHY_PATH/default/systemd/system-sleep/keyboard-backlight" /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/
```

Modes after running the setup:

```
-rw-r--r--  /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/keyboard-backlight
-rw-r--r--  /usr/share/omarchy/default/systemd/system-sleep/keyboard-backlight   (omarchy-settings 4.0.0-1)
```

The neighbouring hook, installed correctly, for comparison:

```
-rwxr-xr-x  /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/unmount-fuse
```

systemd-sleep(8): "executables in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/ ... All executables in this directory are executed in parallel". A non-executable file there is silently skipped.

## Steps to reproduce

1. `omarchy hibernation setup`
