Is this something with the file permissions of the /tmp/ folder or something?

edit: I've gotten sway to open after I've edit .bash_profile and fixed some typos on the snippet of code relating to weston but I'm having another problem.
I can't switch workspaces or open up terminals. I hope that this log file has any use but so far it doesn't tell me anything.

edit: Okay I've fixed this by making a non-root xorg (I have not much of a clue that I still needed xorg.) Now I just need to get the bash prompt to look normal as it is just blocks. Do you guys have any pointers to fixing this? |

Well, if you start sway, sway starts Xwayland - and Xwayland is part of x11-base/xorg-server...

Which terminal do you use? Did you install x11-base/xorg-server? What do you mean with: 'the bash prompt just blocks'? A process can block... But a prompt?
What happens if you press Win-Enter? Do you get a new terminal window? Can you work in this terminal window? If everything is fine and it's just the prompt that looks weird, try:
Did the prompt change to ' -> '?
Please also try:
Do you now get the prompt you expected? |
