I am currently running i3wm on eos and wanted to try Sway. I cloned the git repo and did the installation but it seems to get hung up after the post-transaction hooks and I have no idea why
Error messages/ details/ descriptions, explanations might be helpful.
it kinda just stops hereā¦ not sure if there are error messages but thereās nothing on dmseg or journalctl -xb. everything just stops after yad-settings.desktop
should i uninstall or delete some i3 files first?

When the post transaction process is stuck at that point, open another terminal and run:
ps aux | grep -E 'pacman|alpm|desktop|mime'
to see if any process is still running.
You could also have a look at (h)top to see if there is any cpu activity related to these processes.
Perhaps check mirrors, this sounds similar to what I get when they not up to date
it looks like itās processes related to xdg-desktop-portal that are running. there were 3 processes, very very low CPU usageā¦
Hallo @sigmundfraud ,
How about following these steps:
in i3
cd Downloads/
git clone https://github.com/EndeavourOs-Community-Editions/sway.git
log out and at log-in screen press Ctrl+Alt+F3
log in to terminal
cd Downloads/sway
sudo ./sway-install.sh
relogin to sway
nano ~/.config/sway/config.d/input
if needed
Just too check have you cancelled yourself or did it cancell out?
Sounds normal.
I was more curious to see if anything related to pacman/alpm, update-desktop-database or update-mime-database is still running. Apparently not.
i waited 30-40 minutes and cancelled myself
