You need to install the git version and not the stable of awesome. https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome#installing-current-git-master-as-a-package-receipts

Can you start awesome manually from a different tty with startx /path/to/awesome ?

How to do it? I'm not rly into this kind of stuff. startx awesome returns /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server

Also I found this in logs _{error while running function! stack traceback: /usr/local/share/awesome/lib/awful/_compat.lua:37: in main chunk [C]: in function 'require' /usr/local/share/awesome/lib/awful/init.lua:9: in main chunk [C]: in function 'require' /usr/local/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua:8: in main chunk error: /usr/local/share/awesome/lib/awful/_compat.lua:37: attempt to call a nil value (field 'set_newindex_miss_handler') 2022-06-09 15:32:25 E: awesome: main:866: couldn't find any rc file}

couldn't find any rc file Are you sure you have my theme files at .config/ ?

How to do it?

switch tty with ctrl + alt+ F1 or F2 etc until it drops you into a terminal. Then you type startx /usr/bin/awesome this is usually where awesome is located at

try to install awmtt https://github.com/serialoverflow/awmtt and see if you can start it there from something like gnome

Doesn't work, same error 😕

[Crylia]

There is a PR with an install script, it has some errors but maybe you get more luck with it?

[Crylia]

@Cephetir Can you try to install script that I just pushed?
