    Great video. I am only having two issues. First is the transparency of terminal is not working for me. And then secondly when I shutdown and come back in from the terminal with start x or reboot while loads in the default settings like it looks in the beginning of the video. When I vim to the config files where changes were made the changes are there saved but write looks like it did from the initial installation? Very confused. Thanks for your help

      Hi. Difficult to find the issue without accessing your system. Sounds like a error in your config.py. Can you try to run your config.py with python config.py and check the Qtile log files here? docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/troubleshooting.html

    Great video & perfect introduction into Qtile ricing. Will there be a follow up with more ricing for Qtile? Would be great!

    Hello, i followed your guidelines from your dotfiles on installing qtile , but having the Below issues...........
    I install qtile, after successfully installation, when i login i only found qtile ....
    None of your configuration or set-up showed up...
    Please help out...

    • @mylinuxforwork

      The installation depends on system setups. Can you run python config.py in the /dot files/Qtile folder?

    • @mylinuxforwork
      @mylinuxforwork  ปีที่แล้ว

      And you run both scripts? 1-install.sh and 2-install-qtile.sh from the /dotfiles folder in your home directory? Any error messages?

    Hello, what do you think is better, qtitle or hyperland?

    • @mylinuxforwork
      @mylinuxforwork  ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s a difficult question. I would more ask, Wayland or xorg. And this brings pros and cons depending on your use cases. www.cbtnuggets.com/blog/technology/devops/wayland-vs-xorg-wayland-replace-xorg# Qtile supports both. Hyprland requires Wayland. Xorg is more compatible with all apps. My suggestion is, try out both. With KVM, means Virtual Machines, you can do that. I hope, I could help.

    Guys! If the windows are not loading, like it displays nothing, try and set the backend to ‘xrender’. It works with a wider range of setups.

    everything works fine until the AutoStart part, after putting what I saw in the config everything resets. I removed it and things went back to normal. Also, I use Microsoft edge browser and I can't seem to spawn it, do you know how I can?

      Thank you. To set the keyboard layout you can add the setxkbmap command to your autostart file. gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/qtile/autostart.sh You can load the autostart.sh in the config.py. docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/config/hooks.html

      Thanks for your feedback. The qtile dot files could work if you copy the folder duns, qtile, picom and scripts. But no guarantee. It's originally made for Arch based distros.

      One tip I can give you. When ever you added some code to the config file, always check for any errors, execute the file immediately from command line with python3 config.py. If you see nothing, then restart qtile. This itself tells you about lots of bugs. It helped me as well
