ahh a process has my terminal busy.
you are running the system as Root ? that menu is not designed to function under root.
Earlier I noticed they were root and I changed them to my user under permissions. Other than I haven't touched that.
it says you are running as root, it literally shows you that its pulling config from root directory. you need to double check why that is.
ahh I see what you mean [MESSAGE] Loading Pies from "/root/.config/gnome-pie/pies.conf".
Sorry this is out of my domain. That's really strange. I never put anything in root this is how it installed for me.
Aha! I know what it is! I did a custom install because I wanted preserve my home and personal files. So the only option it had was root to install it. Hmmm wonder how I can fix that and what else went in there that was not supposed to.
youll have to reinstall. its the easiest way to fix it, else youll be running around for days trying to reconfigure everything... even yours user is now set as only root ( how you managed to do that i do not even know ).
Okay so yeah I can get it working now. It had the wrong number for the menu. However, like you said there's no telling what else will be wonky. I guess I'll pull the personal files off and do a clean install. You may want to add the info into the installer that if you don't reformat home and you only format root because you are distro hopping features may not work. I guess this case is closed. Thank you!!! You were very helpful!
I'm sorry, I just understood what you meant. When I did the command as described at first it did nothing.
