Installation error #126

Closed jkim5959 closed 2 years ago

I did a fresh arch install.

minimal, no x or wayland, just nano and git and yay without any display server, which is probably why i'm getting this issue.

I installed newm through yay -S newm-git

start-newm -d gives me the following log. at ~/.cache/newm_log.

@xPMo Should be added as wob , brightnessctl and seatd as they are part of some newm utilities, do not forget to update srinfo

@jkim5959 All the necessary packages got installed correctly. The error is at runtime.

I see it trying to connect to /run/seatd.s... (almost certainly /run/seatd.sock). You should try these steps for Sway, wlroots isn't grabbing your devices because either polkit or seatd isn't available to give them to it.

@xPMo Absolutely fixed it. Love you <3
