Describe the bug
I am not sure how to reproduce, but see the image. I cannot stop komorebic via komorebic stop command as I get the following error:
Error: An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full. (os error 10055)
To Reproduce
Unfortunately, I do not know how to reproduce yet.
Expected behavior
komorebic should terminate. I am guessing a deadlock potentially?
Screenshots and Videos Operating System
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
OS Version: 10.0.22621 N/A Build 22621
Additional context
The window tiling was acting really weird. I am not sure if that contributed to the error. I will try and reproduce and follow up in this ticket when I get more information. In the meantime, please let me know how I can get more telemetry for this issue in a PII safe way?

There is a suggestion in this MSDN article to increase the max number of ephemeral TCP ports (I'm not sure if the UDS implementation on Windows is backed by TCP ports?).
I think this will be quite tough to diagnose as there are a finite number of ephemeral ports available on a given system which can be used by any number of applications at any given time.
@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Apr 17, 2023):
As far as I can tell, all of the UDS sockets being opened by `komorebic` are being [shutdown correctly via the `Drop` trait implementation](https://github.com/haraldh/rust_uds_windows/blob/f45ff960e335a50fb82bef97306858d3e6198355/src/stdnet/socket.rs#L278).

Yeah - anything I can do to gather more telemetry for when this happens?
I believe it might have something to do with microsoft teams. When you are in a teams call and you minimize a call, a small window comes up and it interacts very weirdly with komorebi - so I might face it again soon.

Unfortunately I don't think there is anything we can do on the komorebi, because while the UDS socket path can be reserved, if the underlying UDS implementation on Windows is backed by ephemeral TCP ports, there is no way to reserve a port for use by komorebi that will be available even with other applications (Teams etc.) are making heavy use of ephemeral TCP ports and reducing their availability.
I think the best way forward for now would be to increase the system ephemeral TCP port limit and see if the same behaviour still persists. If increasing the limit does indeed resolve this, we can add the guidance to the readme.

No worries! I will attempt to reproduce sometime this week or next, and if I do reproduce I will try and increase the system ephemeral TCP port limit and try to reproduce again.
Perhaps removing Teams for komorebi management would also work - or modifying teams to not produce the mini windows it does on minimization which were causing issues as well I think.

To upgrade, simply install a newer version? Or do we need to uninstall and reinstall?

You can go to the latest Actions job (https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/actions/runs/5432501944) and download the artifacts, then either replace your current komorebi and komorebic exes with the ones in the release subfolder, or run the wix installer; I think the latter makes more sense if you installed with WinGet, and the former makes more sense if you installed with scoop.

Hi,
Been a bit too busy and haven't been using it since the bug kept occurring
but ill definitely give it a go when I get a chance!

My first day using komorebi .I have been tinkering the whole day now. It's lovely. But im its crashed un-expectedly atleast 10 or so times today, I'd just be navigating around and suddenly hotkeys wont work until i stop and start komorebic.
At first it was windows virtual desktop that it wasnt playing nicely with, but then after disabling that, it still crashed a bunch. i ensured it was never the whkd daemon. In fact, i went ahead trying to reproduce the crash, and noted down exact cause, and troublehooting steps. Leaving it here for anyone who'd find it useful.
Event 1
whkd alive in task manager
komorebic unresponsive, doesnt respond to komorebic stack-all etc.
komorebic log doesnt prnit anything
restarting windowed whkd still responsive, nothing prints until
alt + l focus right command, prints and works. then everything works. first time not restarting komorebic!
Event 2
closed a program > switched to different workspace, where stacked container was focused > tried cycing windows > UNRESPONSIVE
tried windowed whkd > failed to bind all hotkeys > might already be in use
stop and start windowed whkd > works, all commands going through > komorebic unresponding, and komorebic commands not working
spammed alt + p and alt + (1-4) works again
Event 3
spammed alt [ and alt ] really fast in succession
komerobi tiles new windows, but does not respond to commands stack / focus up
hotkeys not responding
awhkd consuming keybinds (cant swap with upper row in obsidian using shorcut) > using stop process discontinues this behaviour
restarted whkd > spamming keys didnt help
still tiles new windows tho :|

I was trying to track down the issue for myself. I'll update if the registry change fixed it for me.
btw love what you're doing. the tool, the videos and the support for children's relief in palestine. I came for a tiling wm but stayed for the community and the vibes.

Spam komorebi for 4-5 seconds by holding down keys.
Komorebi unresponsive Whkd responsive
It tiles newly created windows, switches focus to clicked window etc, and logs those events too but doent respond to hotkeys or commands from the terminal. So far as usual.
Spam hotkeys for 10 seconds more or so.
whkd logs normally
After some more time 👇

## Steps to Reproduce Crash

1. Spam komorebi for 4-5 seconds by holding down keys.
1. Komorebi unresponsive Whkd responsive
2. **It tiles newly created windows, switches focus to clicked window etc, and logs those events too** but doent respond to hotkeys or commands from the terminal. So far as usual.
2. Spam hotkeys for 10 seconds more or so.
1. whkd logs normally
2. After some more time 👇

Did a quick search to see how others might be handling this issue and came up with these two links:
https://github.com/firezone/firezone/issues/6454
https://github.com/spellshift/realm/blob/30088664846fe38cafe6ea042f55a1b3d957a2c7/implants/lib/eldritch/src/pivot/port_scan_impl.rs#L234
Disclaimer
Not a rust dev, nor do i know much about IPCs on OSes. Both mentions seem to not really have a fix for the issue. they just throw errors, and judging by the state of those issues, their systems seem to recover.
Im assuming that komorebic uses UDS to communicate with komerobi. And when there are other programs also making use of these ephemeral sockets or (we're spamming requests), they can get exhausted quite quickly. I don't understand however, is why would komorebic not recover after a short while, and how does a restart fix it all of a sudden. maybe during load it doesnt fully let go of the resources, and only when its restarted does that get taken care of.
Why Restarts Work:
OS finallyy gets around to cleanup of resources it allotted to komorebic
Resources, that we aren't clearing get cleaned up
Some inconsistent internal state is being reset.
Idk if we are using connection pooling, maybe we should. and if we are, maybe we're not recycling resources properly, or maybe
Potential Fixes:
Implement a "soft reset" feature for connections. that doesnt require having to restart the program
Better connection pooling??
Queing? Rate Limiting? Exponential Backoff? 🤷♂️
(excuse the stupidity, im not any good at this 🥲)

I guess that implementation could be stress tested manually

Just as a sanity check can you also try running the latest nightly release? https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/releases/tag/nightly
Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\mmsye
Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag
Found C:\Users\mmsye\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag
this is the most frustrating bug in komorebi unfortunately,
Every once in a while i will minimize a window, or shift it accross workspaces, and things break a little or need to be retiled or komorebi needs to be restarted and windows need to be sent to their correct workspaces. but this only happens a few times a week honestly. and is no big issue for all the convenience that komrebi offers.
But komorebi randomly becoming unresponsive, not responding to keybindings or terminal commands, happens approx 10 times a day. every singel day. for me. this happens while:
all other keybinds in whkd work
komorebi continues to log events like, change in window focus or workspace focus etc.
komorebi continues to tile new windows it just S TOPS responing to komorebic commands from the terminal AND shortcuts from whkd.
im honestly astounded that I'm the only one facing this issue. i've come so close to calling it sometimes 😭. when it stops responding and i realize ill have to restart komorebi causing all the (15 or so) windows to shift workspace 1, and others need to be unminimzed with the alt+tab and sent to their correct workspaces.
2 alternative fixes that would improve this experience
if there was some way for komorebi to save state accross restarts and remember which window what belongs to
the workspace rules should have windows tiled in the correct worksapcs without having to un-minimize the window, then clicking on it | NOTE : bringnig the window into focus is not enough i have to click on it for it to realise (oops i'm not in my assigned workspace).
despite all this komorebi continues to make life easy for me. but man does this bug ruin the experience.

No Crashes for a whole day 🙌🙌🙌🙌.
I love this frkn program 🎉🎉🎉🎉.
I spammed it to test it and it is barely noticeable when it goes unresponsive for 1 sec but man is this a huge relief. its almost perfect 🥹.
Thanks guys!

Describe the bug
I am not sure how to reproduce, but see the image. I cannot stop komorebic via
komorebic stopcommand as I get the following error:Error: An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full. (os error 10055)
To Reproduce
Unfortunately, I do not know how to reproduce yet.
Expected behavior
komorebic should terminate. I am guessing a deadlock potentially?
Screenshots and Videos

Operating System
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
OS Version: 10.0.22621 N/A Build 22621
Additional context
The window tiling was acting really weird. I am not sure if that contributed to the error. I will try and reproduce and follow up in this ticket when I get more information. In the meantime, please let me know how I can get more telemetry for this issue in a PII safe way?
@AlexRumak commented on GitHub (Apr 17, 2023):
This was the type of weird tiling that prompted me to try and restart the program:

@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Apr 17, 2023):
As far as I can tell, all of the UDS sockets being opened by
komorebicare being shutdown correctly via theDroptrait implementation.There is a suggestion in this MSDN article to increase the max number of ephemeral TCP ports (I'm not sure if the UDS implementation on Windows is backed by TCP ports?).
I think this will be quite tough to diagnose as there are a finite number of ephemeral ports available on a given system which can be used by any number of applications at any given time.
@AlexRumak commented on GitHub (Apr 18, 2023):
Yeah - anything I can do to gather more telemetry for when this happens?
I believe it might have something to do with microsoft teams. When you are in a teams call and you minimize a call, a small window comes up and it interacts very weirdly with komorebi - so I might face it again soon.
@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Apr 26, 2023):
Unfortunately I don't think there is anything we can do on the
komorebi, because while the UDS socket path can be reserved, if the underlying UDS implementation on Windows is backed by ephemeral TCP ports, there is no way to reserve a port for use bykomorebithat will be available even with other applications (Teams etc.) are making heavy use of ephemeral TCP ports and reducing their availability.I think the best way forward for now would be to increase the system ephemeral TCP port limit and see if the same behaviour still persists. If increasing the limit does indeed resolve this, we can add the guidance to the readme.
@AlexRumak commented on GitHub (Apr 27, 2023):
No worries! I will attempt to reproduce sometime this week or next, and if I do reproduce I will try and increase the system ephemeral TCP port limit and try to reproduce again.
Perhaps removing Teams for komorebi management would also work - or modifying teams to not produce the mini windows it does on minimization which were causing issues as well I think.

I have received a few reports on Discord from people using this build and above that they haven't seen the error since updating. Hopefully someone in this thread can also confirm. 🤞
@symplrdudley commented on GitHub (Jul 6, 2023):
To upgrade, simply install a newer version? Or do we need to uninstall and reinstall?
@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Jul 6, 2023):
You can go to the latest Actions job (https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/actions/runs/5432501944) and download the artifacts, then either replace your current
komorebiandkomorebicexes with the ones in thereleasesubfolder, or run thewixinstaller; I think the latter makes more sense if you installed with WinGet, and the former makes more sense if you installed withscoop.@symplrdudley commented on GitHub (Jul 6, 2023):

I won't be much help.

@AlexRumak @symplrdudley The changes I referenced earlier in this thread were released in

Hi,
Been a bit too busy and haven't been using it since the bug kept occurring
but ill definitely give it a go when I get a chance!
Great news and thanks

Hi 👋
My first day using komorebi .I have been tinkering the whole day now. It's lovely. But im its crashed un-expectedly atleast 10 or so times today, I'd just be navigating around and suddenly hotkeys wont work until i stop and start komorebic.
At first it was windows virtual desktop that it wasnt playing nicely with, but then after disabling that, it still crashed a bunch. i ensured it was never the
whkddaemon. In fact, i went ahead trying to reproduce the crash, and noted down exact cause, and troublehooting steps. Leaving it here for anyone who'd find it useful.Event 1
komorebic stack-alletc.alt + lfocus right command, prints and works. then everything works. first time not restarting komorebic!Event 2
alt + pandalt + (1-4)works againEvent 3
alt [andalt ]really fast in successionstack / focus upmost other commands give the same error 👆. even
followed instructions here to edit registry and change
MaxUserPortto DWORD Value data:65534. (didnt restart. no change).Will restart pc after registry change, and update experience tomorrow.
Cheers!
@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Sep 2, 2024):
The detailed report and repro is appreciated! As you can probably tell from the lack of activity on this issue this is the first time we've seen a recurrence of these errors for quite a while now 🤔
@xidsyed commented on GitHub (Sep 2, 2024):
thanks 😊.
I was trying to track down the issue for myself. I'll update if the registry change fixed it for me.
btw love what you're doing. the tool, the videos and the support for children's relief in palestine. I came for a tiling wm but stayed for the community and the vibes.
