What's wrong?

After upgrading Omarchy to latest version i wan't able to open any TUI
"Error command not found xdg-terminal-exec"

I fix it by installing the terminal manually
sudo pacman -S omarchy/xdg-terminal-exec

can confirm I had the same issue

If an omarchy-update run fails part way, it can leave you in a state where you have new files referencing xdg-terminal-exec from this new addition but you don't have the package installed since the update didn't finish cleanly.

The easiest way to resolve this is to start a terminal via Walker and run omarchy-update and / or fix whatever issue is blocking it.

Alternatively, pacman -Sy xdg-terminal-exec will install just that package but do still ensure you finish running omarchy-update cleanly for the migrations.

If Walker is dead and you can't launch terminal, switch to TTY2 with ctrl + alt + 2, login, and use the same command above to install xdg-terminal-exec

If omarchy-update has ran and completed all migrations successfully, check your bindings file to ensure you have:

$terminal = uwsm-app -- xdg-terminal-exec
bindd = SUPER, RETURN, Terminal, exec, $terminal --dir="$(omarchy-cmd-terminal-cwd)"

If your bindings have changed or moved, it's possible the migration didn't change these appropriately.

Going forward, this will use xdg-terminal-exec as your $TERMINAL value and $terminal in Hyprland which allows for a lot more flexibility with solid fallbacks. You can change your terminal without restarting by using Omarchy Menu > Install > Terminal alone. xdg-terminal-exec will also intelligently fallback to a different terminal in the event that your preferred one isn't available due to accidental uninstall or some other reason.

Glad you got it worked out! It's all a part of the learning process. 🙂

for me it was ctl + alt + F3
thanks

[Joshua-takyi]

I can’t connect my WiFi anymore so how do I download the package ??

[Pyasma]

@Joshua-takyi
you need t go ctl + alt + f1 , f2 ... whichever one works for you

clt + alt + f3 worked for me

and then just type Impala

and then select your internet and download the packages after that

reboot and everything is solved

[zessu]

Yes It worked fine thanks

I just rebooted the pc after installing xdg terminal

I am just so dumb 🤡

you're not dumb, migrations are ideally supposed to be idempotent. this is an omarchy issue

[plainlystated]

In my case, I had kicked off an omarchy update, then wandered off. I came back to a failed migration (sudo prompt timed out), prompting me to skip. I thought I hit 'yes' but it didn't create the skipped/ state file so maybe not...

I checked my migrations state dir for the handful of migrations run today, checked that they looked idempotent, then ran them one-by-one. I suppose I could've deleted the .state/migrations/ markers instead, then re-run the update script.

Seemed to fix the problem. Personally, I prefer this method over pacman installing the package mentioned here. At a glance, there's several things going on in that migration file and I wouldn't want to address the error message but miss the other changes in that migration.

same issue here, update from de iso 3.0.2 to 3.1.7, and break, thanks for the solution @ammarove

[codyjgeorge]

so im having the same issue, i first noticed it trying to change my audio settings. i clicked on the icon in waybar and nothing happened, and anytime i try to open config settings from walker i get the xdg-terminal-error. i was able to open alacritty and entered omarchy-update and it finished with no issues. i still was unable to open sound settings and am continuously getting that error message while troubleshooting. i tried restarting my pc and still no luck. please help! lol

[zessu]

I think this was an issue with a new install for xgd-terminal-exec. Try running omarchy-update in your terminal that should fix the issue. Let me know if it does not

[codyjgeorge]

Never mind, after i restarted i was able to run sudo pacman -S omarchy/xdg-terminal-exec and it works now. thank you! @ammarove

[codyjgeorge]

i clicked enter as soon as you commented haha. thank you as well @zessu all good over here now!
