Unable to run on wayfire 0.8.0

[junapoe]

Hi again, Sorry if I'm doing something wrong again. After the last issue I managed to get it to compile but for the past few days I haven't been able to run it. Whenever I add firedecor to the wayfire ini, I get the following error whenever I run wayfire:

  what():  No such option: firedecor/ignore_views

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I've installed firedecor and wayfire using the aur (wayfire-firedecor-git and wayfire-git). Thanks

[AhoyISki]

Can you tell me the output of cat /usr/share/metadata/wayfire/firedecor.xml? Or wherever you can find the firedecor.xml file in your system? There seems to be a missing option in it for some reason, even though the file in the repository has this option included.

[junapoe]

Sure, this is /usr/local/share/wayfire/metadata/firedecor.xml

[AhoyISki]

Is there a /usr/share/wayfire/metadata/firedecor.xml in your system? If there is, can you cat it here?

[junapoe]

There doesn't seem to be one: cat: /usr/share/wayfire/metadata/firedecor.xml: No such file or directory

[AhoyISki]

Just asking, but have you looked for the file from the root directory with something like fzf? If so, and you haven't found it, then place ignore_views = none in the firedecor session of the config, because I have no idea why this is happening, but this should fix it.

[AhoyISki]

Let me know if that solves the issue

[junapoe]

I used find / -name '*firedecor.xml*' to try to find it and that's the only file I got, so I dunno honestly lol I put ignore_views = none under the [firedecor] section, and now I'm getting another error:

[AhoyISki]

Ok, I think I know what's wrong, do a find / -name '*decoration.xml*', and place the firedecor.xml you have in the directory that shows up.

[junapoe]

It works! Lol. What was the issue then?

[AhoyISki]

There seems to be a problem at the moment with where wayfire and firedecor end up installing. For example, right now, I uninstalled wayfire-git, re-installed it, and I couldn't run it because libwlroots.so.11 was installed in the wrong place. I already had to move firedecor's dependencies in the past to correct this issue, maybe I need to do it again

[AhoyISki]

By the way, can you tell me the directory where you found decoration.xml? For actual research purposes

[junapoe]

Ya for sure: /usr/share/wayfire/metadata/decoration.xml
