Unable to install on fedora 41

[alexanderi96]

Hi! Having some problems with the fedora.sh install script on my system. After the browser selection, the script:

• Skips the config overwrite warning prompt (doesn't wait for y/N input)
• Rushes through the file operations
• Ends with several errors like:
  • "No such file or directory: .../nwg-displays"
  • "Error loading json: ... settings-hyprland"

This doesn't seem like the intended behavior given the warning prompt and the errors.

Running on Fedora 41.

here is the log:

That's all. You may run sway or Hyprland now.

[nwg-piotr]

Possibly the author of this script has an idea, @t0fik ?

[alexanderi96]

Also I forgot to mention that it just obliterated my .config/hypr folder without mentioning it as far as I'm aware

[nwg-piotr]

If it comes to the nwg-displays config file, it's missing, together with its folder. It shouldn't stop the program from working, but I'll fix it tonight, anyway.

I have no idea why the settings-hyprland file is missing. Need to do some check on my testing laptop at home.

[t0fik]

@nwg-piotr I'm not the author of the script. install/fedora.sh only installs packages and executes nwg-shell-installer -a, which might be source of the problem. I've pushed PR #438 to address this

[nwg-piotr]

Thank you, @t0fik.

This error:

Failure: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/nwg_shell/skel/config/nwg-displays'

has a real cause: the source folder is missing from package_data{}. I'll add it in a minute, but the error has no consequences, as nwg-displays creates missing configuration on first run.

The second error:

Error loading json: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/stego/.local/share/nwg-shell-config/settings-hyprland'

only appears when you run the installer w/o the -hypr argument, and should not stop anything from working (I'll fix it one way or another of course).

[nwg-piotr]

It should be all right now.
