Symlink configs not working correctly

Pilchh commented 2 years ago

Hello again!

I've tried to use the install script again on an Arch build however it seems like the symlinked config directories such as /.config/eww are not linking properly.

When the associated programs are launching, they cannot find the config files. The script to automatically start eww is not launching it and when trying to manually start the tool, it gives the following error:

ERROR: eww::error_handling_ctx > Failed to initialize eww paths

Caused by:
      Configuration directory /home/pilchh/.config/eww does not exist

However, when I look at the .config directory, it shows it is symlinked to /home/pilchh/.config/bspwm/eww.

Any ideas what is going on?

So you don't have eww folder in your .config?

Everything works fine for me, maybe you're doing something wrong? Could you try to reinstall dots?

I've just tried to reinstall the dots using the install.sh script, but I still have the same issue. Looking into it a little more, it looks like an issue with the bspwm directory. None of the symlinked folders are in there.

I cleared my ~/.config directory and re-ran the script to make sure but when the config files are populates, my bspwm folder only contains the following:

applications
bspwmrc
networkmanager-dmenu
nvchad
picom.conf
rofi
sxhkd
wpg

Please, delete all folders including .dotfiles_new, bspwm and reinstall dots using this: curl -s -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PoSayDone/.dotfiles_new/main/install.sh | bash

I deleted all the folders in ~/.config and the .dotfiles_new folder and used that curl command, but it still doesn't work. The bspwm folder in ~/.config/bspwm still only contains:

applications
bspwmrc
networkmanager-dmenu
nvchad
picom.conf
rofi
sxhkd
wpg

Okay, I am installing vm now, to test everything

Everything works fine on fresh install. I am pretty sure that you are doing something wrong.

Could you please describe in more detail all the steps you perform during the installation. Also, in which folder do you run the installation command?

PoSayDone commented 2 years ago

Accidentally ran the script not in the home folder and I had the same thing that happened to you. The script curl -s -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PoSayDone/.dotfiles_new/main/install.sh | bash should be run in the home folder and the folder .dotfiles_new should also be in the home directory
