dots's Issues

Feature - doas for suported OS

Most of gentoo users use doas instead of sudo because it's less bloated. It would be nice something like

if (/bin/doas)
$ROOT_PREV = doas;
else if (/bin/sudo)
$ROOT_PREV = sudo;
else()
print("No root instalation method");

or something like this. I think that arch distros have doas as well.

can't apply chezmoi

Hello, i'm new to arch and linux, i once installed some dots from another repository and applied them, now i want to apply and use this dots because i like them more, when doing "chezmoi apply" it looks for conflicting packages and it gives me this error:

looking for conflicting packages...
:: picom and picom-jonaburg-git are in conflict (compton). Remove picom-jonaburg-git? [y/N]
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependancies)
:: picom and picom-jonaburg-git are in conflict
chezmoi: exit status 1

Can you pls help me? I can't understand :(

Please help! Chezmoi: exit status 1

I can't figure out what is happening, I am using Arch Linux with xfce4.
Also I'm new to Linux if you don't mind :p

Things are invisible

Just followed your steps, everything looks fine but when i log in awesomeWM every window is invisible, can only see silhouette

Running this effectively kills new arch install

Ran all the instructions word for word, and what ended up happening was that I rebooted after applying and got a black screen with a cursor, I repeated this on 3 separate arch installs and they all ended up the exact same way. If you could shed some light on what is happening that would be awesome

Emacs sems to not have the correct flags

The issue #10 seems to be half resolved, because emerge is strugling with some flags issues:

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy "app-emacs/emacs-common[games?,gui(-)?]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- app-emacs/emacs-common-1.8::gentoo (Change USE: +gui)
- app-editors/emacs-27.2-r4::gentoo (Change USE: -gui)
(dependency required by "app-editors/emacs-27.2-r4::gentoo" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "emacs" [argument])
chezmoi: exit status 1
Beast-PC /etc/portage/package.use #

From what I can translate in that message, it seems like there is a missing dash in /etc/portage/package.use/emacs:

Beast-PC ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.use/emacs
# doom-emacs need json
app-editors/emacs -alsa gui gtk json xft gpm

app-emacs/emacs-common -gui
Beast-PC ~ #

Replacing gui with -gui in app-editors/emacs -alsa gui gtk json xft gpm seems to solve the ermerge problem, however it needs to be updated in the chezmoi repo to be able to run the script without replacing again the -gui flag with gui.

Troubles with applying

Manual Install awesome startup error

Followed the manual install instructions on a fresh arch install and got the following errors when running startx

Oops, there were errors during startup!
error while running function
stack trackback:
./module/menu.lua:19: in main chunk
[C]: in function 'require'
/home/ninja.config/awesome/rc.lua:38: in main chunk
error: .module/menu.lua:19: attempt to concatenate a nil value (global 'terminal_cmd')

I am unsure of how to fix this problem or what other information is needed for diagnosis

Vim themes

I use neovim - but assume that doesn't really matter?
I always just copied vim colors to their right place - but doing so with vamp and sci none of the themes work - I get tons of errors. so trying colorscheme sci for example gives me many errors - at the end of those the them looks like it's working just fine. Kinda curiosu why this happens?

Chezmoi failing to apply Dots

So I kinda having trouble when doing chezmoi apply

What should I do?

GPG Decryption failed

Thanks for the great dotfiles setup! Wanted to give it a try however after telling chezmoi to apply the changes, I got this message:

gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

I have added my GPG details in the chezmoi config file. However not sure I understand what GPG needs to decrypt. Is there some decrypted file somewhere?

Cheers! Sacha

chezmoi stow fun

chezmoi apply and stow apperently don't like each other...
I don't even know, what happens...

Typo in /etc/portage/package.use/dotfiles

Everytime you run chezmoi apply emerge errors because it does not have the propper flag:

Beast-PC ~/.local/share/chezmoi # chezmoi apply

* IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Even if you emerge awesome manually, you still get the same error, most likely because there is a typo in /etc/portage/package.use/dotfiles:

likely this line that conflicts by itself:

x11-wm/awesome -lua_single_target_lua5-1 lua_single_target_lua5-2
dev-lua/lgi lua_targets_lua5-2

because -lua_single_target_lua5-1 should be -lua_single_target_lua5-2.

Even if you correct this by yourself, chezmoi apply will just replace it again to default and try to emerge.

Emerging everything in dotfile manually is still a pain, and won't follow the next steps in the apply process of chezmoi, since chezmoi apply will try to re-emerge the conflict again and again.

No ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/libffi"

Decided to try installing the theme in a fresh gentoo install. Took me about 1 week...
And now when I try to chezmoi update, emerge cries:

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/libffi".
(dependency required by "www-client/brave-bin-1.28.22::ninjatools" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "brave-bin" [argument])
chezmoi: exit status 1

Most probably virtual/libffi is missing from ::ninjatools ebuilds, can't tell since I am not an experienced gentoo user.

Knock Knock

Who's there?
New.
New who?
New Issue!

I got this error:

Ran chezmoi update again, gave me Brave browser emerge, emerge fine.

except now there is a new error...

chezmoi: template: run_once90-stow.sh.tmpl:5:16 executing "run_once90-stow.sh.tmpl" at <.chezmoi.homedir>: map has no entry for key "homedir"

I am sorry for not giving a plain text and istead I am giving photos.. but GPM broke for some reason when I installed fresh gentoo. Will solve that problem later.
