[rigid egret]

what is the debug?

[rigid egret]

just run it from terminal, it should print all the logs there

[rigid egret]

i actually had the same issue and i think what fixed it is switching to pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber

the issue is with firefox tho

[arctic dove]

I have this too but no problems watching a video though

[rigid egret]

i noticed before it fixed itself (prob) that it only breaks on youtube but sites like phub work

[arctic dove]

damn... okay

I’ve had no issues, what browsers have you tried on, is your system fully up to date, have you tried restarting your system?

.s litany

[covert vector]

Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

To actively follow log (like tail -f):

journalctl -f

To display all errors since last boot:

journalctl -b -p err

To filter by time period:

journalctl --since=2012-10-15 --until="2011-10-16 23:59:59"

To show list of systemd units logged in journal:

journalctl -F _SYSTEMD_UNIT

To filter by specific unit:

journalctl -u dbus

To filter by executable name:

journalctl /usr/bin/dbus-daemon

To filter by PID:

journalctl _PID=123

To filter by Command, e.g., sshd:

journalctl _COMM=sshd

To filter by Command and time period:

journalctl _COMM=crond --since '10:00' --until '11:00'

To list all available boots:

journalctl --list-boots

To filter by specific User ID e.g., user id 1000:

journalctl _UID=1000

To filter by specific SYSLOG_INDENTIFIER:

journalctl -t systemd-resolved
tldr:journalctl

journalctl

Query the systemd journal.

More information: https://manned.org/journalctl.

Show all messages with priority level 3 (errors) from this [b]oot:

journalctl -b --priority=3

Show all messages from last [b]oot:

journalctl -b -1

Delete journal logs which are older than 2 days:

journalctl --vacuum-time=2d

[f]ollow new messages (like tail -f for traditional syslog):

journalctl -f

Show all messages by a specific [u]nit:

journalctl -u unit

Filter messages within a time range (either timestamp or placeholders like "yesterday"):

journalctl --since now|today|yesterday|tomorrow --until YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

Show all messages by a specific process:

journalctl _PID=pid

Show all messages by a specific executable:

journalctl path/to/executable
$```
