so... with stacktile we can have different layouts per screen. Can we have different layouts per screen per tag?

Hello, I am trying to install RiverWM in a arch linux virtual machine, but, for some reason, when I do "zig build -Drelease-safe --prefix ~/.local install", there is no ~/.config/river/init created, can someone help, please?
<leon-p>
it's not supposed to be automatically created
<leon-p>
you'll have to do that yourself
<getfliped>
Oh! Ok. I will try to do that.
<leon-p>
we have an example init in our repo that you can try though. just make sure it's for the version you installed
<getfliped>
Seems like riverctl command is not working: "riverctl: command not found"
<leon-p>
yeah, make sure that command installed
<getfliped>
How do I install the command?
<leon-p>
when you execute the zig command you did above, you should have river, riverctl and rivertile in your PATH.
<getfliped>
yes, i do
<leon-p>
then it should work
<leon-p>
ah, whoops
<getfliped>
it doesnt
<leon-p>
the "command not found" is an error message from riverctl, not your shell
<getfliped>
ohhhh
<getfliped>
hm
<leon-p>
I think, at least
<getfliped>
That is weird, i copied the example init file
<leon-p>
anyway, make sure that every executable is where it should be and that the init is for the correct river version
<getfliped>
i think the executables are in the right place, and i copied the init from the example folder
<getfliped>
if i try to run river or riverctl in the terminal, it doesnt work
<leon-p>
is ~/.local/bin in your $PATH ?
<getfliped>
yes
<leon-p>
are river, riverctl and rivertile in that directory and are they marked as executable?
<getfliped>
yes
<leon-p>
what exactly are the error messages you get when you try to run them?
<getfliped>
when i try to run the ~/.local/bin/river file?
<leon-p>
yes
<getfliped>
i get a big error
<leon-p>
it it's a lot, can you upload it somewhere?
<leon-p>
river is not intended to be run with raised privileges
<getfliped>
ye
<getfliped>
didnt work anyways
<leon-p>
never just run some process with sudo
<getfliped>
ok
<leon-p>
you don't by any chance use a distribution without systemd, do you?
<getfliped>
i am using arch linux
<leon-p>
is logind running?

<question1ble_ole>
leon-p: hi, I've got the stacktile working yesterday, outputs accept generic names. I'm not too sure the if the per-tag switch implies we can have differnt default layouts for different tags per screen?
<question1ble_ole>
like, screen DP-1, tag 1 - layout_1, screen DP-1, tag 2 - layout_2?
<leon-p>
no, default layouts for different tags are not a thing. just layout configurations you change live are stored per tag
<question1ble_ole>
leon-p: thanks, would you consider a pull request I manage to learn zig? something along the lines of having "tags" property of the [outout:x]
<question1ble_ole>
tags = 1,2; or tags = all
<question1ble_ole>
if * I manage to learn zig. that's a big if

I do plan on adding rules which influence layout choosing eventually and I would not mind a tag rule

Hey, I got my internet back, mean while I managed to fix the errors, but now, when I start it, it greets me with a black screen. Any idea of what is happening?
<leon-p>
is it really black or maybe dark-blue?
<getfliped69>
black
<getfliped69>
just black
<leon-p>
do you see a cursor anywhere?
<getfliped69>
nope
<getfliped69>
no cursor
<questionable_ole>
can you open the terminal with the assigned key combo (if you have that)? is the terminal in the center of the sceen?
<leon-p>
get some logs with `river -log-level debug 2> log` and upload them somewhere
<getfliped69>
give me 5 mins

rodrgz has joined #river
<getfliped69>
ok, im back
<getfliped69>
let me try that
<getfliped69>
i have no key assigned to the terminal
<getfliped69>
i did `river -log-level debug 2> log`
<getfliped69>
the log says `-bash: river: command not found`
rodrgz has quit [Quit: WeeChat 3.7.1]
<leon-p>
well, then apparently river is not within your PATH
<getfliped69>
hmm
<getfliped69>
so, what can i do?
<fleischie>
`whereis river` or `which river`?
elshize has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
elshize has joined #river
<getfliped69>
it says `which: no river in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/ore_perl)`
<leon-p>
as you can see, ~/.local/bin isn't in your path after all
<getfliped69>
ohhh
<getfliped69>
what do i do?
<getfliped69>
put it in /usr/local/bin?
<leon-p>
you could also just modify your PATH
<getfliped69>
im not doing that
<getfliped69>
there is no point
<leon-p>
why do you think that?
<getfliped69>
idk
<getfliped69>
cant it break stuff
<leon-p>
it's not any more dangerous than moving things into system directories...
<getfliped69>
oh okok
<getfliped69>
im adding ~/.local/bin/ to the path
<getfliped69>
just need to figure out how to do it
<getfliped69>
done
<getfliped69>
let me try now
<getfliped69>
still black screen...
<leon-p>
seriosu question: how long have you been using linux? and what do you use it for? river isn't exactly something I'd recommend to someone who isn't very familiar with linux.
<getfliped69>
well, i have used arch linux before with dwm for like a month or two
<leon-p>
i see
<questionable_ole>
just to make sure, adding to the path was something like this? export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
<getfliped69>
`export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin`
<getfliped69>
now the river command is working
<getfliped69>
but i still get the black screen
<leon-p>
then again, get a debug log
<getfliped69>
i did it
<getfliped69>
i got the black screen
<getfliped69>
and the log says:
<getfliped69>
f
<getfliped69>
the log just says a bunch `@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^`
<getfliped69>
i am getting really confused
<questionable_ole>
also how do you start river? do you use login manager or just when the system is booted you start in a TTY?
<getfliped69>
i just did river in the terminal
<questionable_ole>
if it's TTY it's worth checking whereis river before running, to see if it's found
<getfliped69>
i already did that
<getfliped69>
it finds river in ~/.local/bin/river
<leon-p>
anyway, I unfortunately don't have anymore time right now. If you don't find a solution, feel free to open an issue on github (with all logs please), so that we can look into it later
