Moksha hangs on initial setup

16 August 2022, 06:38:17

Hello friends,
I am trying to set up Moksha WM on my new Artix install. I am using base OpenRC ISO with not much else on the installation so far. The DM is LightDM, and it seems to open Moksha correctly. However, once Moksha is open, it is stuck on the page which you can see in the attached image, saying "Please Wait As We Are Loading Moksha Settings!". You can scroll up and down the list of languages, and select different languages, and move the mouse around, but beyond that nothing ever happens, it is just stuck on this screen. What could be going wrong? What can I do to fix this?

The text on the button on the bottom is difficult to read - it says, "Please Wait..."

Did you pull and build the 0.3.3 tag or his main branch? If main branch, you may have an unfinished project.

Best to probably file a github issue. There don't appear to be any issues filed yet this year. This project doesn't look very active - then again, it might be a single dev and they likely have a life.

At startup the Mixer module is loaded, which needs pulse-audio. If this package is not installed a hang will occur. This is the only reason I've seen for a hang so far. So make sure pulse-audio is installed. After disabling the Mixer module, pulse-audio can be de-installed.

I installed the moksha WM from the repositories listed on Artix website, i.e. [omniverse] and [moksha].

The "pulseaudio" package is already installed. As far as I can tell, there is no package in any of the repositories called as "pulse-audio". Therefore, I think this is not the issue.

Switch to the console and check file ~/.xsession-errors; that might offer a clue.

The file reads:

Code: [Select]

action halt 3
action reboot 3
action suspend 3
action hibernate 3

This sounds counterintuitive, but did you click on the 'Please Wait' button at the bottom of the page? (yes, it's a button...)

I clicked on the button and it worked. Thank you
