  • I have looked for any other duplicate issues
  • I have reproduced the issue on a fresh install of my OS & Ly with default settings, except ones I will mention
  • I have confirmed this issue also occurs on the latest development version (found in the master branch)

Ly version

1.3.2

Observed behavior

Changing the config of dur_x_offset to -100 or a negative value results in the following error:

unable to parse config file: Overflow
failed to convert value '-100' of option 'dur_x_offset' to type 'u32': Overflow

Expected behavior

Expected is a successful parse of the value since negatives should be allowed.

OS + Desktop environment/Window manager

NixOS with Hyprland

Steps to reproduce

add dur_x_offset = -100 to config.ini

Relevant logs

unable to parse config file: Overflow
failed to convert value '-100' of option 'dur_x_offset' to type 'u32': Overflow

Additional information

No response

No debug options present to debug further :-(.# Ahoj,

when I start ly-dm, I just get

error: InvalidCharacter

printed to the terminal and it exits with exitcode 1.

I wanted to debug it, but according to ly-dm --help there is no debug or verbose option. Also, the logfile specified in /etc/ly/config.ini is not yet created.

So this is both:

  • A bug report where I can not give more information,
  • a strong feature wish for debugging options.

I attach my /etc/ly/config.ini (my username I have replaced by <censored> in the attachment).

ly-dm --version: Ly version 1.3.2, installed from Artix GNU/Linux repository.

Regards!
