unable to build "latest" version on linux

Hi
I downloaded the new stable tar.gz file and attempted to run the build.sh script but it failed.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

meson.build:22:0: ERROR: Subproject exists but has no CMakeLists.txt file

I remember removing a subproject some time ago. Could you please try cloning the repository and building from scratch?

[dpriedel]

That did the trick. The archive seems to be missing the msgpack-c sub-project. A few questions: - the window content is very washed-out looking compared to other applications on my system.  Is there some setting which controls that? - the page-up, page-down, home, end, etc keys do not work. Is there some way to enable them? - There are a lot of logging 'info' messages output. Is there a way to turn that off? Thanks !!

Could you please illustrate the "washed-out" appearance? You could also toggle the Gtk inspector (Help -> Inspector) to tinker with the CSS styles. But I suspect that's the colour scheme used in Neovim that matters.

the page-up, page-down, home, end, etc keys do not work. Is there some

Absolutely! Unfortunately, I only have a Chromebook keyboard at the moment. But could you please try adding some cases to the switch statement in the source code here:

nvim-ui/src/GGrid.cpp

Line 267 in 4f40c48

// TODO: functional keys, shift etc

? Please don't hesitate to send a pull request.

There are a lot of logging 'info' messages output. Is there a way to
turn that off?

Sure. You could control the log level with an environment variable: SPDLOG_LEVEL=off ./nvim-ui
Reference:

nvim-ui/src/main.cpp

Line 48 in 4f40c48

spdlog::cfg::load_env_levels();

Attached is a screenshot showing the desktop screen from AstroNVim. On the left is nvim-qt On the right is nvim-ui Both are running from the same neovim configuration. NOTE: in the nvim-ui window on the right the first line of the desktop menu is offset to the left. I hope this is useful.

Any chance to take a peek at the screenshot?

[dpriedel]

[dpriedel]

the window on the left is nvim-qt, on the right is nvim-ui

both running from the same neovim configuration

NOTE: the first menu line in the nvim-ui window is offset to the left also

[sakhnik]

Thanks! The offset issue was a known one, but I didn't know how to fix it until today. I'll have to investigate the colours more carefully because I haven't noticed it yet.

[sakhnik]

Well, the colours are fine in my system. So I'd suggest checking the global Gtk4 theme. There may be some CSS influencing nvim-ui.
But I see the layout is still messed up in a different way this time.
