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.

Strange behaviour from (disappearing) Waybar + (persistant) Omarchy-updaterevision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 11:35 UTC via poll

There is some strange behaviour from the omarchy-update button in my waybar. It could be two separate issues, but of that I am not sure.

Update

For the update issue, I checked my .local/share/omarchy repo. I had my own fork as origin. Now the remotes look like this:

git remote -v
mine	[email protected]:kromsam/omarchy.git (fetch)
mine	[email protected]:kromsam/omarchy.git (push)
origin	https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy.git (push)

When I updated omarchy again, the button did not reappear. Although the waybar still disappeared.

1. Waybar disappears when using omarchy-update from waybar

When I click the omarchy-update button, after the update has run, the waybar disappears. I can bring it back if I run omarchy-update from the terminal. If I run omarchy-update when the waybar is still there, it shortly disappears, and then reappears.

2. Omarchy-update button appears when everything is up to date

Waybar set-up

To be sure, I added some modules to my waybar. So I will share my configuration too.
