AGS Critical Error - this._device is undefined

[jgroboredo]

Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot for your dotfiles.

I took some interest in ags recently and I enjoyed your ags configuration quite a lot.

I'm trying to get ags working on my machine. I've copied the ags folder from your dotfiles to ~/.config and, every time I launch it I get the following error logs:

(com.github.Aylur.ags:59585): Gjs-Console-CRITICAL **: 23:26:52.510: TypeError: this._device is undefined

I've searched through the closed issues and I think someone has mentioned a similar problem, which was marked as being an "ags" issue. Although I have little to 0 experience with ags, this feels more like a misconfiguration on my part (note that I haven´t installed the dotfiles using your scripts, since I'm solely interested in the ags configuration), rather than a problem with ags itself.

Any help here would be appreciated. I'd be happy to provide some more logs or debug information.

I'm running arch on 6.10.0-arch1-2.

do you have networkmanager installed? And do you run arch on a real pc (not on a VM)?

[jgroboredo]

Thanks for your reply.

I do have networkmanager installed and it's running baremetal, yes.

I tried copying directly the ags folder from one of the projects that you refer, namely end-4, and it worked out of the box.

idk why
