looks like you need something related to qxl, which I imagine is because you use a VM
<talismanick>
To clarify, river launches and lets me move the mouse around on a teal background, but that's it
<talismanick>
The only result in the repos for "qxl" is the xorg driver, which didn't fix the issue :(
<novakane>
oh but that the thngs you get when you launch river by default
<novakane>
you can't launch any app after? with the config init above?
<novakane>
also is the log message there is something about WLR_RENDERER_ALLOW_SOFTWARE so maybe try to launch like `WLR_RENDERER_ALLOW_SOFTWARE=1 river`
<talismanick>
oh, you're right
<nor[m]>
<talismanick> "To clarify, river launches and..." <- I was stuck with that for a while before I realized the init wasn't executable. (Just in case)
<talismanick>
nor[m] already fixed that lol
<talismanick>
novakane: prefixing it with setting the variable results in a different spew of errors
<novakane>
ah
<novakane>
also the bestway to launch river is using `dbus-run-session river`
<novakane>
although having river with just a teal background is normal by default
<talismanick>
results of "dbus-session-run river 2> ~/error.txt"
<talismanick>
Okay, I'll try it on the base system again

not sure what's the problem :/
<talismanick>
I'm surprised it doesn't work in a VM
<novakane>
never tried it tbh
<talismanick>
Usually I'd expect the opposite - everyone testing software in a VM and running into problems on actual hardware
<talismanick>
idk if it's true or not, but I've overheard that some FreeBSD devs only use it in a VM and use MacOS themselves
<talismanick>
anyways

Well, it's done
<talismanick>
I'm typing this from inside PGTK Emacs, running on river
<talismanick>
first things first: what's the equivalent of "setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps"?
<talismanick>
I think there was an envvar note in the wiki, IIRC
<novakane>
yeah looks at river(1) man page, ENVIRONMENT section
<pkap>
talismanick: You need to set `XKB_DEFAULT_OPTIONS`
<talismanick>
Do I just throw that in init and reload it?
<novakane>
no, in your shell rc
<pkap>
You need to set it prior to starting river.
<novakane>
I have this `export XKB_DEFAULT_OPTIONS=caps:escape_shifted_capslock` in .zprofile for example

Ah, finally
<talismanick>
keybindings I can work with
<talismanick>
Still need to get yambar working and figure out how to remap the keys roughly to how they are in sxhkd by default, but other than that, it all seems to be working
<talismanick>
thanks to all here for the help thus far
<novakane>
welcome in river world then :P

novakane: I played around a bit with the PR you mentioned a couple days ago.
<pkap>
rebased on master and updated to wlroots 0.15. Thinking about the problem you encountered now.
<novakane>
ah that's nice of you, hope it wasn't too bad to rebased
<pkap>
no was a simple rebase. Not much conflicts :)
<novakane>
cool, I think overall the implementation is not too bad, just the keyboard grab that I can't figured out
