This was a helpful video, thanks! I’m on Fedora 38 with Gnome + Pop tiling extension right now, and while it works fine I’m not completely satisfied, I like the Gnome workflow but not its look… so I installed i3 next to it and started toying with it, there are many things I like about it and your video clarified a few doubts I had, the flatpak/desktop files creation was very interesting.
Hello, thanks for your tutorial on i3. I have some errors with the colors on the ./polybarstart. I can't see to figure out the errors on X resource colors. It's a bunch of color X, X is equal to 0, 8, and 15 mostly. I'll start your 'rice from scratch' playlist and see what can I do to fix this. Anyway, thanks for everything!
Thanks! Appreciate your comment. What you could quickly validate is that the colors are loaded in xrdb. Run the following in a terminal: xrdb -q | grep color Should show a list of colors. If that's not the case then: xrdb -merge $HOME/.cache/wal/colors.Xresources If that shows the colors, add the xrdb -merge.. snippet to your ~/.bashrc Good luck and have fun!
it seems the method in this video at 37:21 no longer works... kde partition doesn't show the window to type password as 37:52.... I don't know what to do... In addition is the percentage mark on the left of bottom bar is battery status? I have a battery status on the left of volume bar on top right, but this bottom left bar is stuck at 100% and I am not sure what it is...
Hi @AmeMori35 I see... Haven't touched i3 in a while now to be honest. Let me see if I can replicate your issue. Not sure if I can do something about the battery percentage, that's difficult to help debug without seeing your code.
@@testertech sorry for late response, and thank you for your time and dedication to old video! I managed that it was the font issue to indicate the storage and battery bar on polybar. After a few configuration it fixed. About the kde partition/gparted I decided to run it on terminal with sudo command because I don't use the partition function often. But thank you!
my picom is not starting. On terminal it says : Xlib: ignoring invalid extension event 161 Also my polybar reamin the same even after loging out and back in
Hi, I've never seen that error before for Picom. I found a thread on Reddit just now that could be helpful for this issue www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/s/m0mlYDFFHm Polybar: make sure you double check your configuration for polybar it could be tricky to set it up the first time. Sounds like you're not pointing to the config you want to use (it's using default config) but just guessing here. Feel free to create an issue on GitHub so I can help better.
That's unfortunate. Maybe you should first check out my 'rice i3 from scratch' which covers the basics, since this is more a show and tell video where I skip some steps and details. If you still can't figure it out, drop me a mail, glad to help if I can! endegraaf@gmail.com

@@testertechThanks It started working. I don't know how I got it working but it did work.
I tried the git clone 4 times and each time when I reboot it it locked up my screen lol no go
