No $DISPLAY environment variable #152

Closed tak2hu closed 1 year ago

tak2hu commented 1 year ago

so I installed, copy paste the docs and ran newm just fine. Tho I have this problem when I tried to open brave, krita and other apps, it didn't work bcuz there's no $DISPLAY environment variable.

I did try using sway and it does have a $DISPLAY env var.

here are my logs and config

Your logs say you don't have xwayland (looks like it's an optional dependency). Can you install xwayland, then rebuild pywm and see if that fixes it?

turns out it's not xwayland_enable = True but pywm = { 'xwayland_enable': True } that's supposed to be in my config file
