Could you try running the command again? I recall I had some message in the terminal as well the first time (nothing like yours about "can't read ABC" though") and when I reran the command, this time it worked and generated the rc config file in $HOME/.config/bl-hotcorners.

I have run it several times with the same error. It cannot find the /var/mail/Xlib file because it does not exist. There is only a n empty richb file in /var/mail. Can you check your /var/mail folder and see what is in it?

Found one problem. There was an empty line at the top of the script copied from GitHub. Now I get a different error. Ran this twice as well

Code: Select all

bl-hotcorners: error: unrecognized arguments: –daemon

same as you.

You mean your hotcorners script doesn't work at all?

It's 2 hyphens before the "daemon".

No matter how many times I edited the wiki post, the double hyphens combined/autocorrected into a longer dash.

Apparently the script does not run. The $HOME/.config/bl-hotcorners/bl-hotcornersrc folder/file is not created as the wiki indicates it should.

Did you make the script executable?

Yes.

I'm stumped. Sorry.

No problem. I have a working Compiz with some issues. I do not use it because of those issues and stay with the default XFCE DE.. This was more an exercise to test the application and wiki procedure. I hope others try it and report.
