So when I start up Awesome, I get the following error text (I'm testing this with zenburn to isolate this current problem):
/usr/share/awesome/lib/gears/surface.lua:39: Failed to open file '~./config/awesome/themes/zenburn/zenburn-background.png': No such file or directory
and no, the "~./" part isn't a typo on my part. I think this is my problem here but I don't know how to fix it.
Relevant part of my rc.lua:
home = os.getenv("HOME")
confdir = home .. "/.config/awesome"
themes = confdir .. "/themes"
active_theme = themes .. "/zenburn"beautiful.init(active_theme .. "/theme.lua")
So I have no idea why that's not working, the path is correct other than the "~./" thing where it's switching the period and the slash. I have tried just using:
beautiful.init(os.getenv("HOME") .. "/.config/awesome/themes/zenburn/theme.lua")
as well as just using:
beautiful.init("~/.config/awesome/themes/zenburn/theme.lua")
and they all spit out the same error on startup. Any ideas?

In my rc.lua I don't have any thing like that, but is only about variables definitions I guess

you're right, the next line is ok, like you wrote
beautiful.init("~/.config/awesome/themes/zenburn/theme.lua")
but, about your:
~/.config/awesome/themes/zenburn/theme.luayou need define your wallpaper:
theme.wallpaper = "~./config/awesome/themes/zenburn/zenburn-background.png"if is that the right path to wallpaper file, probably is there the mistype "~./" ?
or in my zenburn theme (non edited) my wallpaper line is that:
theme.wallpaper = "/usr/share/awesome/themes/zenburn/zenburn-background.png"so, probably there are conflict in your variable definitions about where to find themes ? try to comment that lines
nice digging ;-)

I was actually thinking that there must be something wrong with my theme.lua file. The idea hit me last night when I was trying to sleep, of course right? Thanks for telling me what exactly to look for, found it right away!
