Instructions on the Readme do not work #42

Closed egeexyz closed 4 years ago

egeexyz commented 4 years ago

Description

I followed the instructions word-for-word from the Readme and RVM is not in my path nor does it work at all.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Follow the steps on the Readme
  2. Logout & Back in
  3. Open a terminal & type man rvm

Expected behavior

Man pages for rvm should appear

Actual behavior

No manual entry for rvm

Environment info

DISTRIB_ID=elementary
DISTRIB_RELEASE=5.0
DISTRIB_CODENAME=juno
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="elementary OS 5.0 Juno"

ALSO, the readme states you're now member of rvm group) but the installer says that the installer no longer does this.

Hi @egee-irl and thanks for reporting this issue.

What happens when you type rvm --version?

About the mismatching info on README and installer, yeap, it's ugly. Fortunately we already have #36 for that, which I'll address in the next release.

egeexyz commented 4 years ago

It says

Command rvm not found, but there are 21 similar ones.

SuperSandro2000 commented 4 years ago

It probably added juno as a distribution which is not in the ppa. Try changing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*rvm* to disco or something that is available.

raelgc commented 4 years ago

@egee-irl any lucky trying the solution pointed by @SuperSandro2000? In fact, you just added the PPA, but as you're using Elementary, apt has not matched your system version, so rvm package is not installed in your system.

egeexyz commented 4 years ago

elementaryOS is based on Ubuntu LTS which is currently bionic. And as such, the entry in the apt sources is correct. It shows:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rael-gc/rvm/ubuntu bionic main

raelgc commented 4 years ago

What is the output of sudo apt install rvm?

I've tested this issue as much as I'm going to. I recommend spinning up a VM and testing it yourself.

raelgc commented 4 years ago

@egee-irl Thanks for the feedback!

Dummy question: had you restarted your system?

What happens if you run source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh and then try call rvm?

egeexyz commented 4 years ago

The rvm.sh actually wasn't there, despite apt claiming rvm was installed. I reinstalled rvm and the script showed up. After I sourced it, running which rvm yielded /usr/share/rvm/bin/rvm

egeexyz commented 4 years ago

I'm going to close this issue because I think it was some sort of configuration related issue.

It's possible that it could be related to elementaryOS but ultimately I did not find the root cause.

If this happens in the future for people, I recommend:
