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

It is fixed by using glutin = "0.28.0" as a dependency and not using the patch in the Cargo.toml. Works fine for me, but I do not know the reason for implementing that patch.

[unlimitedbacon]

It's working for me with v0.5.0. If you are still having trouble with it then try doing a clean build (rm -rf the build directory).

The patch is needed to prevent a crash in some circumstances. It has been accepted upstream, but they have not published a release yet.

Also works for me with 5.0 and also from AUR.

How are you installing it? It's still same for me

[unlimitedbacon]

Are you guys using the rust Arch package or installing from rustup? If using rustup, you may need to do rustup update.

Well for some reason it's working on my Desktop but not on my laptop now, but I installed it manually on my Desktop once so maybe it gets confused there.

I am using the AUR package

Also the error is different now, it shows:
Error: no override and no default toolchain set

Hello,

I tried to install it yesterday on my Manjaro KDE and the installation with pamac from AUR failed with the same error message.
I cloned the AUR repository myself, ran "makepkg build" and that was sucessful.
So it looks like there is an issues with pamac with runs with an unprivileged user id that's not a real user on the machine.
