Hello, guys, I just installed artix and then install awesome. And want to configure it, but have no .config directory. I created it, copied rc.lua from /etc/xdg/awesome/, but it’s don’t work with it. Only with /etc/xdg/awesome/ dir. Can you help me with it, or I can just leave it like this?
- upd:
It was my mistake, because I created
.xinitrcusing root profile using such command: touch~/.xinitrc, that why it was created in/root/directory and caused errors, when I trying tostartxwithoutsudo. (I didn’t write about it, cause thought that it didn’t matter) But now all works right
just to be sure, config should be at /home/yourusername/.config/awesome/rc.lua
You’re gonna have to provide way more information than ‘but it don’t work with it’. In what way does it not work? Paste any error messages.
From what I understand you made ~/.config/ and then copied /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua to ~/.config/rc.lua, which is wrong. It should be ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua. See man awesomerc
The user path should be .config/awesome/rc lua
Also recommend to check out https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats
for ready made themes.
Don’t recommend leaving it like this, because if Awesome ever releases an update you’ll lose your config.
Where exactly did you copy your rc.lua?
