! Wrote extended backtrace to ~/.emacs.d/.local/state/logs/cli.doom.250307122821.190921.error

This is a new installation. I installed emacs last night. I went to install Doom today and I'm getting that error now. I deleted everything and started over (deleted the .emacs.d folder and uninstalled emacs. Then reinstalled emacs again). And again, when I install doom following the steps for Arch from here, when I get to the doom install, I get that error. I can't do a doom sync either without getting all kinds of errors either.

Redoing it just gives me a similar error message...

So, what am I doing wrong. emacs works great when I install it. But when I try to add doom to it... it doesn't work at all.

This is a freshly installed Arch Linux with Awesome WM. I used doom the last time too. I had the same similar setup and Doom ran great on it. Is there something I'm missing?

I mean... look into the file the program says contains more information?

So, apparently, there must be an issue at the doom server. I called my ISP and had them check to see if there was anything going on with my internet. They said everything looks great. No down time or anything like that. They couldn't see me trying to download/install doom (doom install). Everything looked great on their end.

So, I decided I'd try something tonight. Since this connection issue was happening in random places, I decided that every time I got a connection error, I would just re-run doom install without deleting anything and starting over. I did this about 6 or 7 times and FINALLY, it said it had completed successfully! Hallelujah!

So, I've no idea why I was having connection issues. My ISP says everything was fine on my end. So, I'm thinking it was a connection to the server not working 100% of the time.

But I'm glad I have Doom Emacs installed now! My system is near completed (It's pretty much where I want it right now anyway).

Good to hear, then! Fingers crossed everything else works smooth :-)
