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

<getfliped> 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?
<getfliped> i am going to upload it to imagur
<getfliped> I think im stupid
<getfliped> i think i need to run it with sudo
<leon-p> no
<leon-p> no no no
<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

<leon-p> I do plan on adding rules which influence layout choosing eventually and I would not mind a tag rule

getfliped69 has joined #river
<getfliped69> 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 quit [Quit: WeeChat 3.7.1]
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> do `echo $PATH`
<getfliped69> `/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl`
<leon-p> as you can see, ~/.local/bin isn't in your path after all
<getfliped69> ohhh
<getfliped69> what do i do?
<getfliped69> put it in /usr/local/bin?
<leon-p> you could also just modify your PATH
<getfliped69> im not doing that
<getfliped69> there is no point
<leon-p> why do you think that?
<getfliped69> idk
<getfliped69> cant it break stuff
<leon-p> it's not any more dangerous than moving things into system directories...
<getfliped69> oh okok
<getfliped69> im adding ~/.local/bin/ to the path
<getfliped69> just need to figure out how to do it
<getfliped69> done
<getfliped69> let me try now
<getfliped69> still black screen...
<leon-p> seriosu question: how long have you been using linux? and what do you use it for? river isn't exactly something I'd recommend to someone who isn't very familiar with linux.
<getfliped69> well, i have used arch linux before with dwm for like a month or two
<leon-p> i see
<questionable_ole> just to make sure, adding to the path was something like this? export PATH="$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
<getfliped69> riverctl says `error: ConnectFailed`
<leon-p> it says that when it can't reach river.
<getfliped69> hmm
<getfliped69> why cant it reach 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
<getfliped69> okok
