I like recent updates to your setup. The small menu to edit common settings is great! I also tried the installer project to keep it up to date. Worked well. I have a suggestion, In your bashrc look for and load .bash_aliases if it exists. This way users can store all their settings, aliases, etc and not get overwritten every time you install or upgrade And of course check for .fish_profile, etc,, So congrats your setup has made it to HW full time, :) I loaded garuda sway now I am installing your hyprland and qtile config on to my old apple macbook pro. It's much happier with a 'good' OS on it now haha Sorry macOS enthusiasts haha Thank you again

@donaldwilliams6821 6 ай бұрын

a couple of issues. your config files broke the waybar for sway In hyprland the icon for shutodwn.logiout doesn't work. And you removed the 'power menu' from your keybindings.conf in qtile the shutdown icon works fine Using 2.6RC

@donaldwilliams6821 6 ай бұрын

I had to hack it a little bit I copied the original waybar files to under ./config/sway I had to call it manually. the swaybar comand waybar doesn't seem to allow setting the config file location. I couldn't find anyway around that but it works now via startup script. QTILE takes a little getting used to but i like it also. Regards

Hello, another user also is seeing same issue as I am. I did a checkout and got 2.5.2 (beta) That didn't install correctly. Hyprland starts with a black screen just the standard wallpaper. I noticed the ~/dotfiles directory was empty. The dotfiles dir was in the ~/src directory I cloned it too. I did try moving it to ~/Downloads as the install.sh suggests. Same problem. After install ~/dotfiles is empty. All the files are still in the starting directly. I did a git checkout 2.5.1 and tried that version and had same issue. Maybe because I tried to install 2.5.2 beta 1st.

Hi, I previously used your dotfiles on my Arch Linux and it was fantastic, everything was beautiful and smooth. However, my laptop broke and I had to buy a new one. But this time when I installed your dotfile, I encountered a few issues: 1. When I log in, there is no prompt to type 'Hyprland' to enter. I had to type Hyprland myself. 2. After getting into Hyprland, all that appears is the default background and my mouse cursor, and I can't do anything except move the cursor around. Can you explain why this is happening and how to fix it?

@donaldwilliams6821 6 ай бұрын

I am having same issue. 1st this I noticed is that when I cloned his repo I got 2.5.2 (beta) The install script put links that look for 'dotfiles' dir in you home dir. But when you go there the directory is empty. I tried checking out 2.5.1 (git checkout 2.5.1) but had same issue. IDK if that's because I ran the install.sh twice . I did this on a fresh install. Just too dumb to take snapshot 1st. haha
