I'm trying to use it on an arch linux virtual machine. It compiled fine and the binary is there, but for some reason it keeps crashing. I don't know if my .xinitrc is wrong or if it's some other issue

jollysan commented 3 weeks ago

did you cd into the hackmatrix directory in the .xinitrc file?

Saithe6 commented 3 weeks ago

my xinitrc is /home/saithe/HackMatrix/matrix I also tried putting exec in front of that, same thing

Saithe6 commented 3 weeks ago

okay so I finally got it to launch. I had to have exactly

cd /home/saithe/HackMatrix/
/home/saithe/HackMatrix/matrix

previously I tried but with ./matrix as the second line

You can probably do just ~/HackMatrix/matrix as the path.

Also, you should probably call exec ~/HackMatrix/matrix in the xinitrc
