Sway Community Edition: Preview

the release & prelease don’t boot on my rpi4 4gb, just a blinking cursor in the upper right corner.
guess i’ll be sticking with xfce for now.

This thread is not about sway for ARM - you have to grab that from here:

just fine tuning.

hopefully it’s not to much difference from x86 i can still help out.

I installed this a few months back and last week I started getting this error on updates:

sudo pacman -Syyu

Per https://github.com/Manjaro-Sway/manjaro-sway try

pacman-key --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-key A44C644D792767CED7941AFEABB2075D5F310CF8

This is the result I get from the command above…

gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure
==> ERROR: Remote key not fetched correctly from keyserver.

And I am online, no proxies or vpn’s, etc.

Are you behind any proxies, or anything that may be sniffing your traffic or on a low-bandwidth connection? I ran the same above command with no issues and it worked for me to get my system up-to-date.

Also, @jeaness , check out this GitHub issue:

I’m not sure if this is a GitHub issue or user issue, but I just installed Manjaro Sway into a GNOME Boxes/libvirt virtual machine, and I cannot get the MOD(super)+SHIFT+? to pop up the help menu, nor get the MOD+[h/j/k/l] movement to work, but the MOD+[arrow-up/down/left/right] work. I even redefined it in the ~/.config/sway/config.d/00-user-config file as well to use the vim style navigation. Anyone else experiencing these issues?

I’m also having an issue where after I install all the latest updates doing sudo pacman -Syyu and reboot, I can no longer log back in as my user or the manjaro user.

Add “nameserver 8.8.8.8” to /etc/resolv.conf

just tried and works ootb. perhaps you haven the correct keyboard layout in vm/host?

did you $unbindsym the keys you wanted to use? perhaps they/some are already taken…

this should be fixed now. for me it works ootb in a virgin boxes install.

I’m closing this due to unclear focus. Please create issues in github if you’d like support to specific issues.
