 |
|
Not sure what happened because I haven't changed any permissions, but when I run my keyboard shortcut for dmenu, I get nothing. When I run it from the terminal, I get
| Code: | | Permission Denied at /usr/bin/i3-dmenu-desktop line 28. |
Looking at line 28, I realize I have no idea how to read perl. So, here's the first 40 lines of the script for, hopefully, one of you more informed Gentooites to decipher what I might do next. Thanks.
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/env perl

| you may check on a clean home directory, therefore create a new user and test it there |

It's dying on the open(), which doesn't say much other than a file somewhere needs a chmod u+r. We'd need to know what's calling that sub and what the filename is exactly.
If you don't mind messing with portage-managed files, throw a "use autodie qw(open);" anywhere in that pile of stuff at the top, and it'll give you a much more useful error message (with the filename included). |
