Are there some sort of minimum requirements? #11

I'm running on a VM, and it's awful. Polybar not loading, terminal black, manual not working, etc. I allocated 2GB of ram, is that enough?

Edit: wallpaper not showing up either ;(

LukeSmithxyz commented 6 years ago

There were some errors at the last update. Give me the output of your pacman -Qn.

ThatNerdyPikachu commented 6 years ago

I am installing with the latest commit after a fresh install of Arch. I'll update you...

ThatNerdyPikachu commented 6 years ago

@LukeSmithxyz https://ghostbin.com/paste/vbgou latest commit. wallpaper now set, terminal not working, etc

LukeSmithxyz commented 6 years ago

I can't replicate this problem on a fresh install. Does the terminal not pull up on windows+enter? Is polybar there now? Are st and polybar installed?

ThatNerdyPikachu commented 6 years ago

ST loads after a minute, and I cant type. Polybar... is installed, but not showing. Maybe I can package up the VM for you to take a look? null

LukeSmithxyz commented 6 years ago

Oh it's a VM. VMs don't handle the scripts well for reasons I'm unsure about, and I don't use them so I can't debug them. It might be memory, I don't know. Obviously there's not much memory overhead in a system like this, but VMs might be different animals.

If you want to try the setup, you should install it on a new parition or machine. As I said before I just reinstalled it to check and it's working fine at the current commits.

ThatNerdyPikachu commented 6 years ago

Aw, that sucks... Maybe I could help debug and help you? What would I need to do? null

LukeSmithxyz commented 6 years ago

As I said, I don't know anything about VMs or what could be wrong here. You're welcome to try to troubleshoot the problem yourself, but I couldn't help you.

ThatNerdyPikachu commented 6 years ago

Has this issue been reported before? Have oher users installed LARBS on a VM just fine? null

@thebeastgamer25 Open a tty and type pkill compton then head back to i3. That usually fixes most of the issues.

ThatNerdyPikachu commented 6 years ago

@voidanix That worked! Thanks so much!

LukeSmithxyz commented 6 years ago

@voidanix Is there a principled reason for this problem in VMs?

ghost commented 6 years ago

@LukeSmithxyz I'm not sure, but the 3D acceleration feature apparently is bugged in VBox 5.0 (and newer) for compton users.

LukeSmithxyz commented 6 years ago

Okay I see. I think I'll put a note about this on the README or website, because I'm sure it's the cause of some confusion for VM users. Thanks for the hint.
