Hello everyone, I’m new to Linux and want to install an image board Grabber called Grabber.
-
I installed the AUR package called imgbrd-grabber-git and did the pkg build.
-
After the installation the Grabber Icon appeared in my Applications.
-
I can’t launch the Grabber App because an error message appears.
No Source found. Do you have a configuration problem? Try to reinstall the programm.
I read the instructions several times. But I don’t understand what this means:
After installation you will need to copy the example configuration files from $INSTALLATIONPREFIX/Grabber/example/ to your local Grabber directory, usually ~/.Grabber/ . Grabber will not run without these files.
Thanks for any incoming help.
Welcome to the forum! 
Those instructions are pretty clear to me. $INSTALLATIONPREFIX is probably /usr ─ look in your file manager for where it is installed. So if it’s /usr, then you need to copy those example files into your $HOME, like so… 
mkdir ~/.Grabber && cp -R /usr/Grabber/example ~/.Grabber/
sudo chown -R your_user_name:your_user_name ~/.Grabber
Thanks for the fast reply. I found Grabber in usr/share but there are only 5 files in the folder but no example files.
I tried the commands in ther terminal but nothing happened.
orbital@orbitalfram3 Linux 5.8.11-1-MANJARO x86_64 20.1.1 Mikah
~ >>> mkdir ~/.Grabber && cp -R /usr/Grabber/example ~/.Grabber/
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/orbital/.Grabber’: File exists
~ >>> sudo chown -R orbital:orbital ~/.Grabber [1]
[sudo] password for orbital:
~ >>>
Try…
cp -R /usr/share/Grabber/example ~/.Grabber/
It doesn’t say that they are example files, but example configuration files.
I typed that in the terminal:
orbital@orbitalfram3 Linux 5.8.11-1-MANJARO x86_64 20.1.1 Mikah
~ >>> cp -R /usr/share/Grabber/example ~/.Grabber/
cp: cannot stat ‘/usr/share/Grabber/example’: No such file or directory
~ >>>
Okay, then what is the output of…
ls -l /usr/share/Grabber
Hint: use the </> button in the editor toolbar if you’re going to paste terminal output.
cp -R /usr/share/Grabber/* ~/.Grabber/
sudo chown -R orbital:orbital ~/.Grabber
cp -Rf /usr/share/Grabber/* ~/.Grabber/
sudo chown -R orbital:orbital ~/.Grabber
Hmm, the -f switch is supposed to override the confirmation question. Okay then, one last time. 
\cp -Rf /usr/share/Grabber/* ~/.Grabber/
sudo chown -R orbital:orbital ~/.Grabber
~ >>> ~ >>> cp -Rf /usr/share/Grabber/* ~/.Grabber/
zsh: parse error near `>’
~ >>> \cp -Rf /usr/share/Grabber/* ~/.Grabber/ [1]
~ >>> sudo chown -R orbital:orbital ~/.Grabber
[sudo] password for orbital:
~ >>>
Thanks for still helping me.
No. When I click on the App Icon I get the same error.
No Source found. Do you have a configuration problem? Try to reinstall the programm.
Should I remove Grabber and reinstall it with one of your commands?
I don’t think it will make a difference. Your best bet is to contact the developer/maintainer of Grabber ─ it’s an AUR package, not a Manjaro package ─ and inform him (or her) of the bug.
Apparently you’re not the only one with this problem ─ see here. This here is the GitHub page of the original developer, albeit that this is not the same person who uploaded the package to the AUR.
I reported this issue on his GitHub page 5 days ago and I got no answer. I guess I have to wait for some fixes.
Thank you for your help. I was told it could take some time here but you helped me pretty fast.
