What are you trying to do?

Tried to move jrnl.txt files and config from a different computer and seems to have broken the installation and can't reinstall properly.

I also did try a chown command but i'm new maybe didn't take. :)

Really would love some specific support on this also if you have a good link for configuration files for jrnl i'd appreciate it.

What have you tried?

I have tried a number of fixes and removed a lot from my yaml config file as well as recreating directory and file for jrnl.txt

Hi @prog1001, it looks like your journals aren't being specified correctly. I think it's crashing when it's trying to parse your "journals" key.

You'll want to remove this lines from your config, since it isn't doing anything:

default_journal: ~/.config/jrnls/jrnl.txt

Then replace this line:

journals: null

With this:

journals:
  default: ~/.config/jrnls/jrnl.txt

As for more reading, the Advanced Usage page is a decent step-by-step guide to getting started with the config file, while the Configuration Reference page covers all the details.

I'm going to close this since I'm pretty confident that's the solution, but still feel free to respond here if it's not working after that change.
