Omarchy

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

omarchy-voxtype-install: `voxtype setup gpu --enable || true` silently leaves dictation on CPUrevision 1 · captured 2026-10-02 21:02 UTC via poll

System details

Intel i9-11900K, NVIDIA RTX 4090 (nvidia-open-dkms 610.57.04), Omarchy 4.0.4, voxtype-bin 1.0.1

What's wrong?

omarchy-voxtype-install (same line on quattro, bin/omarchy-voxtype-install:19) does:

if omarchy-hw-vulkan; then
  voxtype setup gpu --enable || true
fi

On this machine that step failed, and || true swallowed the failure. The installer finished with "Voxtype Dictation Ready", but voxtype was still on the CPU binary (voxtype-avx512). voxtype setup gpu --status showed the CPU backend, and nothing told the user.

Likely cause: voxtype setup gpu --enable switches backends by repointing the root-owned /usr/bin/voxtype symlink (to /usr/lib/voxtype/voxtype-vulkan), but the installer runs it as the normal user. Running sudo voxtype setup gpu --enable by hand fixed it.

Impact: dictation looks broken rather than slow. A 110 s clip took 109.6 s to transcribe on CPU (about 1× realtime), versus 0.99 s on Vulkan after the manual fix.

Steps:
1. On a Vulkan-capable machine, run Install Dictation (omarchy-voxtype-install).
2. Run voxtype setup gpu --status. It still reports the CPU backend.

Suggested fix: run the step with sudo (the script already declares omarchy:requires-sudo=true). If it still fails, tell the user instead of || true, e.g. a notification saying "GPU acceleration could not be enabled — run sudo voxtype setup gpu --enable".
