Voidrice: Problem on fresh install

[haldamine]

Hey Luke, I wanted to do fresh install on a new machine. As soon as I finish running larbs.sh and login into the system. I am immediately logged out of the system.

[LukeSmithxyz]

Does it work after several tries?

The past couple days on my machine occasionally a login fails for an unknown reason. I haven't figured the exact cause, but I didn't think it was anything I already pushed to the repo. Might be a dwm problem too.

[haldamine]

No, it does not. I tried logging in 15+ times and each time it proceeds to immediately log me out.

[haldamine]

Ok so I found a solution. You need to first install libxft-bgra from the aur before running larb.sh .

[LukeSmithxyz]

libxft-bgra should be installing during the script. I'll look into it.

[AlexSyssoyev]

More than once I had to rerun larbs.sh on the same user so it can install all the packages, sometimes it skips some for no reason. no idea why.

[LukeSmithxyz]

I think there have been some signature/keyring changes recently that might be the source of the problem. I might just want to have the script automatically update keyrings at the beginning of the install despite the extra time...

[AlexSyssoyev]

I think it would be worth it, considering that it can save a lot of trouble especially to the beginner Linux users.

[haldamine]

Agreed, if they don't have to peruse through their log files they're more likely to stick with it. Thanks again for all you do Luke!

Just got the same problem (first time installing arch, I thought I messed up the install.... )

[WhaleJ84]

Having the same issue. Manually installed libxft-bgra and installed with makepkg --skippgpcheck followed by libtool --finish /usr/lib as the previous command suggests, but running startx still has the same issue.

EDIT: My bad. forgot to actually install it with pacman after... startx worked fine for me doing it my way as a post-larbs fix.

[haldamine]

The following steps should make it work on a fresh install

pacman -S base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
yay -S libxft-bgra
curl -LO larbs.xyz/larbs.sh
sh larbs.sh

this way all the signatures update as well

[haldamine]

Make sure libxft is not installed as it conflicts with lbxft-bgra .

The following steps should make it work on a fresh install

[...]
yay -S libxft-bgra

I tried this on a completely fresh install and was getting the following output

:: Checking for conflicts...
:: Checking for inner conflicts...
[Aur: 1]  libxft-bgra-2.3.3.r7.7808631e-1

Error making: libxft-bgra

I'd also see that the the package is Flagged out-of-date with the same error.

Can anybody help me with this problem?

[Abhishek-Deshmukh]

@drewisdorner I ran into the same issue.
Can someone check this out, My noob recommendation is moving back to libxft, it would be wonderfull if someone knows what all things to change to get that.

I have this LukeSmithxyz/voidrice#690 .

[framedr0p]

I have got the same issu. When i login an run startx i can see the Wallpaper for a second and then i get logged out.
I already got libxft-bgra installed.

[framedr0p]

Ok! I fixed it this way for me:
sudo pacman -Rdd libxft
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/libxft-bgra.git
cd libxft-bgra
makepkg -rsi —skippgpcheck
startx

[rescenic]

startx can't find monitor.
