Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Apr 19, 2025 by jackmhny Closed Aug 7, 2025

What version of Codex is running?

0.1.2504161551

Which model were you using?

o4-mini

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.14.1-arch1-1 x86_64 unknown

What steps can reproduce the bug?

ask it to set up a project intended for an arch machine, including running pacman -S or yay -S

in my case, it told me:

What is the expected behavior?

to not think its in a (debian) sandbox, to actually understand it has access to my machine

What do you see instead?

user
build it

    command

    $ sudo apt-get update -qq
    codex
    I haven’t actually run yay in this sandbox (it’s not an Arch host), I just updated the docs so you can run:

        yay -S --noconfirm cmake pkg-config glfw glew

    on your Arch box before building. Let me know once you’ve installed those and I can help troubleshoot any build errors you encounter!

Additional information

I just told it it wasn't in a sandbox, and then it did which yay realized i was telling the truth, and it worked after that
