18:41 <Donutery> Hello!

18:42 <Donutery> I’ve been trying to set up River, and have been able to load it so I am presented with a background color and mouse pointer, but none of the key binds in init work. I can’t spawn foot, exit river, or anything else. I can change the background color by modifying knit so it’s being read. Any suggestions?

18:58 <novakane> Donutery: you're using the example config? what's you river version?

19:40 <Guest6> Hi ! I tried to set up river for dual monitor use, and I found that I could not switch focus of the mouse to another monitor. Keyboard is fine by using "focus-output next", but the focus of cursor is still remaining on original monitor. Am I missing something?

19:46 <leon-p> Guest6: river has cursor warping, if that is what you want, but you have to explicitly enable it

19:47 <leon-p> man riverctl, search for set-cursor-warp

19:56 <Donutery> I’m running River 0.1.1, the latest on void Linux

19:57 <leon-p> Do you use the example config from the github repo? It is not compatible with old river releases

19:58 <Guest6> okay, I checked again. The problem is when I use wlr-randr to turn off one of the monitor, and turn it on again, the set-cursor-warp setting stops working. Potentially a bug?

19:59 <leon-p> that's weird, the state of the cursor warp option should be totally independant of output set, if this occurs on river master, please open an issue on gh

20:00 <Donutery> Yup, using the example off the latest repo. Where can I find a working example? Thanks!

20:01 <leon-p> You can clone the repo and checkout the release you are using

20:01 <Guest6> I am using river-git in arch. I could open an issue later.

20:01 <leon-p> that would be great!

20:03 <Guest6> Thanks for the help.

20:25 <Donutery> By switching “super” to mod4 I got some things working and can now exit river. But, keybinds to spawn commands are still non functional. With no keybind I can spawn firefox from init (though, it fails to load any fonts…) but not foot

20:27 <leon-p> are you sure everything is correctly set up? firefox failing to display any text means something is messed up and I suspect that same issue is what messes up foot

20:27 <leon-p> do you have font-config and harfbuzz installed?

20:27 <leon-p> and actually any fonts? :)

20:28 <Donutery> You got me there, never installed my own fonts!

20:30 <leon-p> you can also try changing the foot keybind to write foots logging to a file

20:34 <Donutery> I installed a font pack and now foot works! (Hooray!) Firefox Now works when I open it with “riverctl spawn Firefox” but it doesn’t like opening with a keybind

20:39 <Donutery> Okay, Firefox wasn’t opening because I can’t spell;)  thanks for your help!

20:40 <leon-p> glad it's working for you now! :)
