What's wrong?

Had to work with a vendor last week who needed vm access to install licensing and such..

They are a webex company..

'join from browser' cannot do 'screen control'..

np, I'll just yay -S webex(tab) webex-bin

so many seconds later.. done; great

click on url for meeting link opens webex, again np.. accept terms; etc

Hmm can't type in the name field.. let me see can I click anywhere? Video is working, Mic is working.. let me just..

As soon as you click on of those (mic or video buttons).. the webex app dies.. again.. np let me just start it up again..

Same, can't type in field.. I'll be smarter this time and use the keys to mute the mic or hide video.. hover over to keys.. Is that Ctrl+M in the popup? looks like it let me just; hyprland crashes back to default config SuperQ doesn't even work..

Need to hold down power to reboot..
(just did it twice more.. )

Just fresh installed 3.4.1 (whatever is available as of March 1st, 8am EST)

Assuming it is something with webex-bin and wayland, not an Omarchy issue..

Wanted to share in case others were interested..

(OT - looks like we moved the terminal back to alacritty, and I was having weird CCP issues.. which seem resolved atm)

I did swap out wlan0 from vendor Realtek to an AX210

02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) AX210/AX1675* 2x2 [Typhoon Peak] (rev 1a)

other than that.. device is stock; should that matter..

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
