ly: /etc/ly/wsetup.sh exits unsuccessfully with TCSH
Hello,
After the changes implemented in 0.12.0, I was finally able to get the zig rewrite of ly to compile.
I set up the systemd service using the recommended method (zig build installsystemd
) and made some changes to /etc/ly/config.ini
(enable an animation, set a clock format, and change the masking text from * to -).
However, upon a reboot, a few things happened:
- I can see ly. This is great!
- There is a stray cursor flashing in the top left of the screen maybe 30 columns over and 20 rows down (but I didn’t count). This only goes away when I hit an arrow key to move to the password field or change the selected desktop environment.
- No animation is displayed, which is less than ideal - and the reason I moved away from the main branch (see #592). In addition, the other changes I made to the config file are not visible either.
- Finally, when I actually attempt to enter a password, I am greeted with the following…
exception (no address available)
??:?:?: -x73e4ee88709d in ??? (libc.so.6)
Unwind information for 'libc.so.0x73e4ee88709d' was not available, trace may be incomplete
… displayed atop the ly prompt – so, I am unable to get to sway or i3 via ly, and I have to switch to a different tty and start it manually.

If there are any other questions I can answer or things I can test, let me know. Thanks!

I guess maybe this should stay open until the repository is updated to fix this. But my personal situation is resolved.
