help me fix the startup issues, I really want to try it in action.

collinalexbell commented 6 months ago

Exec a terminal instead in .xinitrc.

I use 'exec terminator'.

Startx

Then manually cd to the project root and run ./matrix

You should see stuff print to the terminal. There also might be a logs/matrix.log depending on how far into booting matrix it gets before crashing.

alas, it doesn't work, what else can you do to make it work, maybe you can record a video or something else?

You saw nothing in the terminal?

maybe you have a ready-made image or maybe you can connect remotely?

collinalexbell commented 6 months ago

What is in your ~/.xinitrc?

I've never seen problems starting x with just having exec terminator in the ~/.xinitrc before.

I've been thinking about releasing an .img

Ok. Try to exec a terminal instead matrix and the manually renting matrix from the terminal

'exec terminator' in the .xinitrc

Make sure terminator is installed.

I tried it when running this command, it writes the exec terminator error

I checked, this fixes the issue. It can only run an an active x11 session. Not from a tty and not from xinit.

so I need to write this command and start a new tty session?

I run it from xinit on both my machines. Linux has a wide variety of configurations, so I'm not sure why in some cases it HackMatrix won't run from xinit.

stepanovs2005 commented 6 months ago

can you upload a virtual machine to the cloud so that I can see how you have it all set up or contact me in another more convenient messenger like telegram?

I tried different things and nothing worked

stepanovs2005 commented 6 months ago

thanks a lot, everything worked, but now I don't know how to call windows.

collinalexbell commented 6 months ago

Press v, type program name, press enter.

Make sure to have dmenu installed on your system
