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
The user path should be .config/awesome/rc lua
Also recommend to check out https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats
for ready made themes.
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
just to be sure, config should be at /home/yourusername/.config/awesome/rc.lua
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?
