sewn: i was under the impression that it wasnt posix, but looking at the docs it is
<ehawkvu>
nice surprise
<sewn>
but it shouldnt make a difference, it shouldnt preserve metadata
<sewn>
like timestamps
<sewn>
(it does)
<ehawkvu>
i would think that copying the uid and gid info would cause problems though
<sewn>
yeap
<ehawkvu>
what's odd to me is how there is even this error in the first place
<ehawkvu>
since before adding the touch, we were calling mv
<ehawkvu>
which, if the file wasn't there, like touch seems to assert, would fail just as catastrophically
<ehawkvu>
so idk what the fuck is going on
<sewn>
eyah me neither
<sewn>
the file already exists it should have errored
<sewn>
i think you should try stracing
<sewn>
always a good backup plan
<ehawkvu>
and it shouldn't be some kind of symlink edge case either

I cannot seem to get inputs working for Sway upon initial setup. I keep getting "libinput initialization failed, no input devices". All the advice I can find online mentions running swaymsg -t get_inputs which I can't do because I can't access Sway using my keyboard because it can't recognize my inputs. Any ideas?
<phinxy>
start sway, in linux console use sway --get-socketpath, then use swaymsg -t get_inputs -s and the socketpath
<tyler>
Thank you for your reply. I should have said that the input issue actually prevents me from launching sway without WLR_LIBINPUT_NO_DEVICES=1 set. Last time I tried I think this also prevented me from switching back to tty once I launched sway but I'll try again
<phinxy>
just checked that youll have to look up the socket manually, e.g. /run/user/1000/sway-ipc.1000.26307.sock
<tyler>
Is it only generated after sway successfully executes? I'm back in sway right now with WLR_LIBINPUT_NO_DEVICES=1 which as I feared prevents me from getting back to tty
<phinxy>
hm, does it really prevent you? I was under the impression the hotkey to switch to tty was a layer under sway but could be mistaken
<tyler>
Ctrl+Alt+F1 and F2 don't work once I launch it that way :[
<phinxy>
ok, either way it might be a dead end, on my machie swaymsg in tty only lists my appletouch touchpad, in sway it generates a long list
<tyler>
Thanks for letting me know
