What happened:

- Installed ly display manager using pacman
- Could not find /etc/ly/config.ini
- Went to artix repository (https://packages.artixlinux.org/packages/world/x86_64/ly/files/) and found that the package is missing config.ini file

Expected reolution

Please place the config.ini file in the package.

Arch is also not including the config file, for what it's worth

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fairyglade/ly/refs/heads/master/res/config.ini

I tried to build it manually using the the instructions on https://github.com/fairyglade/ly but that failed for me.
But that seems to be the file you are after. Just put it in place and edit to your hearts desire.

@gripped thanks.

I found the same file earlier and used it. I just wanted to point it out to the repo maintainers so that they might consider adding it in the future and to the other users so that they might not need to go around searching for it like I had to.

I will mark the issue as solved because the post seems to have already gotten the attention of the repo maintainer @corysanin .

Oops, was doing a find on page for /etc/ly/config.ini, forgot to remove the leading slash. Arch has it, we're patching the PKGBUILD to swap out installsystemd with installnoconf. Seems to me installexe can be used instead.
