## Troubleshooting

If your distro is not {arch, debian, fedora, freeBSD, gentoo, venom, solus} based fetch-master-6000 wont be able to detect number of packages

In that case you have to specify number of packages yourself

For example:

On Solus (eopkg)

*Solus is already supported*

command to list all istalled packages is:

> eopkg list-installed is slow because its prints a lot of info, use `ls /var/lib/eopkg/package` instead

```bash

eopkg list-installed

```

to count packages pipe the list to wc -l



```bash

eopkg list-installed | wc -l

```



make it an alias to avoid typing it everytime



```bash

alias fm6000='fm6000 -p $(eopkg list-installed | wc -l)'

```

Similiarly for other distros



```bash

fm6000 -p $(pacman -Q | wc -l)

```



### Can't locate experimental.pm

fm6000 uses experimental module to do a smartmatch for WMs .This module is pre-installed on most of the distros, if for some reason its not present. Use your package manager to install `perl-experimental` module.
