I kept looking at the code, and on paper it looked good to me. So I started to run through the code manually, step by step.

When I got to
sudo -u $username mkdir /home/$username/.local/share/fonts
It bombed out. Evidently mkdir cannot create new folders three layers deep.

Here is a quick example from a terminal window in my home directory
$ mkdir part1/part2/part3
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘part1/part2/part3’: No such file or directory

So when the code tried to copy the fonts to the .local/share/fonts directory, it didn’t exist.

So I changed it to three separate commands.
sudo -u $username mkdir /home/$username/.local
sudo -u $username mkdir /home/$username/.local/share
sudo -u $username mkdir /home/$username/.local/share/fonts

I learned something on that one. :nerd_face:

Try mkdir -p - will create intervening dirs if needed, and NOT error if already there… very handy option!

Just came here to say this. Sometimes duck-ducking the problem gives a better solution. As always, i learnt it the hard way :wink:

@OdiousImp
Did you add xdg-user-dirs to the package list?
If so, I will add it to the EndeavourOS Arm bspwm-pkg-list.
Need to keep them in sync.

@joekamprad @manuel The configs are finished! You can test propely if you want and add to the official thing.

@flyingcakes can be the maintainer if he is okay with that?

setup.sh is not working there are some unused commands.
can someone review it?

Maybe something to do with this mkdir ~/.local/share/fonts I remeber Pudge saying this didn’t work on ARM too. Can you try with the -p flag.]
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts

EDIT: You use NEWUSER instead so maybe mkdir -p /home/$NEW_USER/.local/share/fonts

i think i fixed it…

xdg and font commands are not needed they will get done on first boot

@joekamprad Sorry! I think I forgot three things!

chmod -R +x /home/$NEW_USER/.config/bspwm/
chmod -R +x /home/$NEW_USER/.config/sxhkd/
chmod -R +x /home/$NEW_USER/.config/polybar/scripts/

Reproduced! Thank you for that! I’ll see what the problem is!

Polybar refreshes with it! I should add killall polybar then start it.

!
BSPWM defaults! Didn’t want to change too far away! They are very weird I agree! To much ALT key is is weird to press!

It does look quite nice too! Maybe…just maybe… :shushing_face:

I let @flyingcakes decide polybar.

i do remove the browser group and put firefox to be installed per default again, it will cause too much users missing to install a browser, and it is EOS default also…

is it right that termite has no transparency?
something like:

opacity-rule = ["85:class_g = 'Termite'"];

in picom.conf?
