Installation Issues on Ubuntu 22.04: Unable to Open 'core' and 'short_pwd' with dotly

[iBet7o]

I just installed dotly on a laptop with Ubuntu 22.04, but I'm getting the following errors:

Error: dot: can't open core
Error: dot: can't open short_pwd

[gtrabanco]

dot symlinks apply

Try with that and exit & open your terminal.

It can be that you are not loading DOTFILES_PATH or DOTLY_PATH

Can be as well that you do not have in PATH the path ${DOTLY_PATH}/bin to load dot before terminal theme is loaded.

I had the same issue on a fresh installation of Fedora. As @gtrabanco hinted dot is not loaded before the terminal theme is. I managed to solve it by setting zsh as the default shell.

What I did was:

chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh

and then log out and log in again.

here there is more info on how to change the shell
