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

Quattro removes playerctl while default Voxtype config requires itrevision 1 · captured 2026-09-28 21:29 UTC via poll

System details

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, NVIDIA RTX 4070, Omarchy 4.0.0-1, omarchy-settings 4.0.0-1, voxtype-bin 0.7.5-1

What's wrong?

The Quattro upgrade deliberately removes playerctl, but Omarchy's shipped Voxtype configuration enables a feature that requires it:

[audio]
pause_media = true

This is reproducible from untouched upstream/package-owned files; it does not depend on local customization:

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have Voxtype installed/configured through Omarchy with pause_media = true.
  2. Upgrade a legacy Omarchy installation to Quattro.
  3. Confirm playerctl was removed by the upgrade.
  4. Trigger Voxtype recording.

Voxtype logs:

WARN playerctl not found or failed to run: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Media pause/resume during dictation no longer works.

Expected

An Omarchy-owned default should retain its runtime requirement across the Quattro upgrade, or Omarchy should ship a Voxtype version that no longer needs that requirement.

Voxtype already replaced the playerctl subprocess with direct MPRIS D-Bus access in https://github.com/peteonrails/voxtype/pull/487. Until that version is shipped, possible fixes are retaining/installing playerctl when Voxtype is installed, or disabling pause_media by default.

Related but not the same regression: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/issues/6029 predates Quattro and was closed before playerctl was retired.

## System details

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, NVIDIA RTX 4070, Omarchy 4.0.0-1, omarchy-settings 4.0.0-1, voxtype-bin 0.7.5-1

## What's wrong?

The Quattro upgrade deliberately removes `playerctl`, but Omarchy's shipped Voxtype configuration enables a feature that requires it:

```toml
[audio]
pause_media = true
```

This is reproducible from untouched upstream/package-owned files; it does not depend on local customization:

- Current `quattro` default enables `pause_media`: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/quattro/default/voxtype/config.toml#L28-L29
- The Quattro upgrader explicitly retires `playerctl`: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/quattro/bin/omarchy-upgrade-to-quattro#L791-L865
- Its fallback removal group also pairs `waybar playerctl`: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/quattro/bin/omarchy-upgrade-to-quattro#L877-L903
- Voxtype 0.7.5 describes `--pause-media` as `requires playerctl`.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Have Voxtype installed/configured through Omarchy with `pause_media = true`.
2. Upgrade a legacy Omarchy installation to Quattro.
3. Confirm `playerctl` was removed by the upgrade.
4. Trigger Voxtype recording.

Voxtype logs:

```text
WARN playerctl not found or failed to run: No such file or directory (os error 2)
```
