I would suggest deleting the wf-install folder together with everything and re-cloning it as a normal user + run install.sh as a normal user again. Also, your git permissions are messed up. You should fix that first - I think google should be able to help there ;) |

I think this error is more serious than the previous one : Do you want to override the existing config file /home/marietto/.config/wayfire.ini [y/n]? y sed: 1: "/usr/home/marietto/Scar ...": extra characters at the end of h command |

Oh, I see. About this particular instance, I think it is safe to just remove the The errors you were getting later were related to the |

that's not an error caused by the fact that I use zsh. Infact I've changed the default shell from zsh to bash : [marietto@marietto-I5 /usr/home/marietto/Scaricati/wf-install]$ zsh -version This is free software; you are free to change and redistribute it. but the error is still there : sed: 1: "/usr/home/marietto/Scar ...": extra characters at the end of h command |

I mean sed is not a function of the shell, sed is a utility program installed in /usr/bin and apparently on BSD, that utility program behaves differently than it does on Linux. |

@Marietto2008 try to change the script like this: should become in all places where we use sed. Take a look at the stackoverflow link for details. |

@Marietto2008 Ok :) I thought you had more knowledge in general since using *BSD is a rather niche thing, I'd expect most "beginners" to use Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch. In any case, what I wrote in the previous comment should be enough to fix that particular issue. |

I can have more knowledge,yes,I'm not stupid. But more you go deeply in the specific,less is the knowledge that I can obtain reading and trying to understand. You already know that the shell scripting is a very specific task. You should not be wondered by this. Your fixes worked,except for the last two "sed" that I have converted from : sed -i "s@^Exec.@exec=$PREFIX/bin/startwayfire@g" "$BUILDROOT/wayfire.desktop" to : sed '' -i "s@^Exec.@exec=$PREFIX/bin/startwayfire@g" "$BUILDROOT/wayfire.desktop" but it didn't work. This is the error : sed: -i: No such file or directory |

oh sorry,my mistake. It should be : sed -i '' "s@^Exec.@exec=$PREFIX/bin/startwayfire@g" "$BUILDROOT/wayfire.desktop" Installation done. Run /opt/wayfire/bin/startwayfire to start wayfire. now the fun begins... |

You might need to add your user to the group associated with these files. |

I've found the solution ; Modified /etc/devfs.rules as follows: And add myself to group video. |

Oh, that's great :) Maybe the video group is set for these files automatically only under Linux and *BSD is again different here ... But in any case good that you found the cause. |

That's interesting to note that wayfire worked for some time without adding those paths on the devfs.rules and then,suddenly,it stopped working. |

Is there a way to place some icon / launchers in the middle of the screen,when you use wayfire,that when clicked,some kind of application is launched ? Every DM works like this. xfce,kde and so on. Wayfire has it ? |

There are launchers you can configure for wf-panel but they are on the panel, not the middle of the screen. It's good you got the nvidia drivers working with wlroots on freebsd. Perhaps we should create a new discussion for general wayfire questions and configuration. |
