Failed to initialize user #633

Closed vincent-thomas closed 2 months ago

vincent-thomas commented 2 months ago

I get a message saying failed to initialize user for some reason. Can't give logs or anything because i don't know where they are and it should work

UPDATE: It doesn't work in tty, BUT it does work with sudo ly in terminal

@vincent-thomas What is your distribution, and how did you install Ly?

@vincent-thomas What is your distribution, and how did you install Ly?

UPDATE: It works in both tty and within a Xorg session but only with root permissions.

I used fedora workstation 40 and cloned the repo and compiled with the right version of zig. I checked the binaries where installed on my system like xauth mcookie so i don't understand what made it not work.

@vincent-thomas Then you'll need to either authorize Ly in SELinux or disable it altogether (although I do not recommend that last one). You could try and use the SELinux permission files from #310, though they may not work (anymore).
