Script Execution Failure at nala 94% on Debian-Titus BSPWM Branch

[TechTune-1]

I have an issue with Debian-Titus (bspwm branch). During the execution of the script, the process halted at 94% completion with Nala, and my screen suddenly lost signal. so, I restarted my computer with the power button and ran the script again, it then rebooted and it briefly displayed “[FAILED] Failed to start polkit.service - Authorization Manager” before returning me to the terminal interface again.

Maybe try manually install it? Since that script is kinda outdated?

Sorry for my late response. I tried to manually install policykit-1 before executing ./install.sh, but that unfortunately did not resolve the issue. My monitor lost signal at the beginning of the script, so I had to reboot my PC again. After executing the script again, I encountered this error:

Error: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Synchronizing state of lightdm service with SysV service script with /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable lightdm
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, UpheldBy=,
Also=, or Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and Default Instance= for
template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled or disabled using systemctl.

I appreciate your help.

You should install some polkit manager service such as gnome-keyring I think. That should resolved the issue

I tried to manually install lxpolkit and gnome-keyring before running the script but the error persists. When I executed sudo lightdm, I got the login screen, but after entering my credentials, it didn’t bring me to the desktop. After logging In a few times, the system froze.

Is this on a system you already have data on? Because you might have to reinstall Debian and run the script from a fresh install. Or you can remove polkit and then try running the script to see if it installs?

[TechTune-1]

No, this is happening on a fresh system. I managed to resolve the issue where Nala couldn’t install packages.

# Essential Programs
essential_programs=(feh bspwm sxhkd kitty arandr rofi polybar picom thunar gvfs lxpolkit x11-xserver-utils unzip yad wget pulseaudio pavucontrol gnome-keyring accountsservice lightdm neovim)
# Other less important Programs
other_programs=(lxappearance papirus-icon-theme fastfetch flameshot psmisc fonts-noto-color-emoji curl ntfs-3g zoxide)
# Install programs individually
for program in "${essential_programs[@]}" "${other_programs[@]}"; do
  nala install -y "$program" || { echo "Failed to install $program" >&2; exit 1; }
  sleep 1
done

However, I'm now facing an issue where my system radonmly crashes during the installation. This crash also seems to occur when launching other graphical applications from the TTY, for example, with xinit. After logging in, the issue no longer seems to persist.

[crazycheetah42]

That's weird but where did you get the code you posted? Doesn't seem to be in the install script.

[TechTune-1]

After i got an error from Nala, I modified the installation script to loop through and install each package individually, which resolved that issue. Unfortunately, My system still crashes. I checked the logs using both dmesg and journalctl, and I also installed kdump, but none of them provided any useful information.
