Arcolinux unable to login, sending back to login screen about awesome-dotfiles HOT 11 OPEN

Yes it works fine without your config, switching to themes like powerarrow-dark also work without issue. I tried uninstalling awesomewm completely, along with all of the dependencies packaged with Arcolinux's version and just installing awesomwm by itself but the issue was still there.

I've tried googling but there doesn't seem to be much about logging in and facing a blank screen, then getting put back into login screen. Logs from journalctl or lightdm don't seem to show any errors. The only relevant thing I can find in the lightdm logs is below. Should I be checking any other log files (journalctl doesn't seem to show any errors)?

from awesome-dotfiles.

When will this be solved :(

from awesome-dotfiles.

My apologies, this slipped away as I was looking into other things. I'll get back to this one shortly

from awesome-dotfiles.

I was having this same problem on EndeavourOS, and I'm trying on manjaro now, hopefully, by changing distros it may be solved, ill update you

from awesome-dotfiles.

UPDATE:

Works on manjaro

UPDATE:

Works on manjaro

Thanks for the info! I suspect that some distros package a newer version of awesomewm. I'm going to try to take a look at everything to see if I can update without breaking other distro versions
