4 months ago If the path I followed to install Regolith 3.2 was the wrong path, maybe I misunderstood the documentation. Here's the trail I used: https://regolith-desktop.com/docs/using-regolith/install/ (therefore installed 3.1, hoping for the best) https://regolith-desktop.com/docs/reference/Releases/regolith-3.2-release-notes/ (therefore updated /etc/apt/sources and checked /etc/regolith/version file)

4 months ago Thanks again for the details @jeffguy . I believe your issues will be resolved if you update the apt line as specified in the 3.2 release notes. In particular, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/regolith.list should be the following for Ubuntu Noble 24.04:
echo deb "[arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/regolith-archive-keyring.gpg] \
https://regolith-desktop.org/testing-ubuntu-noble-amd64 noble main" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/regolith.listThe info you posted above contains a URL for the previous Ubuntu version.

4 months ago Great catch! I fixed that. apt update;apt upgrade didn't fix it. Then I used dpkg --get-selections|egrep 'i3|regolith'|tr '\t' ' '|cut -d' ' -f1|grep -v libpci3|grep -v libxcb-dri3-0 to get rid of a bunch of packages and then sudo apt install regolith-desktop regolith-session-flashback regolith-look-lascaille and after a reboot it worked perfectly!
Thank you so much for your hard work on Regolith and for helping me with this issue in particular!
Describe the bug On a fresh Ubuntu 24.04, I installed Regolith3.1. On reboot, when I selected Regolith and logged in, the screen went black for 5-10 seconds, then returned to the login.
When I tried the instructions in the 3.2 release notes, it didn't update the /etc/regolith/version file. Still, I tried rebooting into regolith and had the same symptoms.
Finally, I used dpkg --get-selections|grep regolith and dpkg --get-selections|grep i3 to remove everything that looked regolith- or i3-related. Then I reinstalled regolith-3.2. /etc/regolith has two times: i3 and picom. /etc/regolith/version is conspicuously absent. Also, when I reboot into regolith, I see the same symptoms.
To Reproduce Install fresh Ubuntu 24.04. Install Regolith 3.1. Reboot. Attempt login with Regolith. Observe failure as described above. Login with Gnome. Adjust /etc/apt.d/sources file to point to testing (instead of regolith 3.1). apt update and upgrade. Reboot Attempt login with Regolith. Observe same failure. Observe /etc/regolith/version is still 3.1 Use dpg --get-selections|grep regolith (and i3) to remove everything regolith-related or i3-related. Delete /etc/regolith/version if it's still there. Install regolith 3.2. Reboot. Attempt login with Regolith. Observe same failure. Observe /etc/regolith/version doesn't exist.
Expected behavior I expect that when I install Regolith 3.2 on Ubuntu 24.04, it will create an /etc/regolith/version file with the correct version (testing or 3.2 are both acceptable), and when I reboot, I will enter Regolith Desktop (visible status bar at bottom, ability to launch terminal, etc.)
Screenshots N/A. It's just a black screen for 5-10 seconds, then a return to the login screen.
Configuration file(s) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/regolith.list deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/regolith-archive-keyring.gpg] https://regolith-desktop.org/testing-ubuntu-mantic-amd64 mantic main
/etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=24.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=noble DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 24.04 LTS"
I didn't mess with any config files. They're the defaults for a fresh install of Regolith 3.1 and Regolith 3.2.
Installation Details
Additional context Thanks for your hard work. I've been using Regolith on other computers for about a year, and it makes my computing experience so much smoother.
