Hey guys! Apologies if discussions like this are not welcome here, but I'm stuck and I don't know where else to ask. I've just dipped my toes into the world of ricing, so I'm a complete noob. I've installed EndeavourOS with no desktop and grub. I've installed git, fish, and cloned the repo. After running install.fish, I ran into a couple of errors with cargo conflicts of rustup and rust. I went with rustup because that's what ChatGPT recommended. After replying yes of removing rust on all of the conflicts, I managed to get to the end of the installation. I've installed sddm to get into hyprland and my screen is just gray. After running the At this point I've spent too much time and effort to give up and I really want to get this rice because it looks amazing. However, I don't know what else to do. ChatGPT keeps sending me through rabbit holes that I think will not be effective. Do you think it could be something related to drivers or am I missing something obvious? Should I've went with rust instead of rustup or it does not matter? I would really appreciate any help! |

"ChatGPT keeps sending me through rabbit holes that I think will not be effective." That thing probably messed up more stuff then you know. Doesn't really matter rust or rustup, one or the other but not both. As it is now I think you'd be better off starting over with a clean minimal install. I'd suggest you use minimal arch, git clone the caelestia repo and just execute install.fish --noconfirm from there which automates everything, except for a display manager, sddm works great. The updated readme in the repo now has very clear install instructions. |

As a start, it would be really helpful to see:
As (more or less) a personal question: What made you go with Endeavour over base Arch? |

As a start, it would be really helpful to see:
If the config files have been properly linked.
Can you show the output of
ls "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hypr"
orls "$HOME/.config/hypr"
(if your XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined)IF the config files contain the correct contents:
The most important here would probably the exec file.
Please show the output of
cat "$HOME/.config/hypr/hyprland/execs.conf"
(that should be the directory of this rice, I am working with my own dotfiles personally so this may be inaccurate (taken from here))If caelestia has been properly installed
Just check with
which caelestia
and/orcaelestia -h
Further, it could be helpful to know which packages you have installed.
