There were changes to layman lately, maybe you need to rename or change your config. In layman.cfg I see this: In my layman.cfg I see: #----------------------------------------------------------- # The list of locally installed overlays installed: %(storage)s/installed.xml # This has been renamed from the following # old name : value use it for updating to new one above # local_list: %(storage)s/overlays.xml # either rename the overlays.xml file to installed.xml # or edit the value above to the current name of your # installed overlay(s) file.
