I somehow managed to get chromium downloaded and after closing and opening the terminal that problem went away & disappeared.

      The problem is the fonts are not (properly) installed. Installing Chromium will download additional fonts and update font cache, which fixes the issue.

    The past participle must be used with being or be, so if the verb is run, then it is run, not ran.
    We don't say in English, "being ran."
    We say being run.

  • @FeintDoxx
    @FeintDoxx 2 года назад +1

    Aha! I commented on 2 of your other videos, you can disregard them sorry! I failed to check for newer guides and of course you had one! already subscribed and liked cause this was actually helpful.
    But lst because the old version was using zsh i did not edit the file necessary for bash to work with xmonad. This video cleared it up for me! Now to see if I can get freerdp working.😀
    edit: I lied, so xmonad shows up but the issue I am having now is that the screen doesnt appear to refresh or redraw automatically. for example if i use mod shift return it'll open up the terminal but in order for me to actually see the terminal I'll have to use mod space as if I were rearranging the tiles and then it finally draws the terminal window. If one terminal window is open I can open another and xmonad will actually show the animation that it opened another but If I have nothing open I have that issue. But overall it doesn't seem to be drawing realtime. Like I can type in terminal but doesn't show the text until I hit enter
    not sure if you've encountered this or if i'll need to go ask at the repo or maybe a discord server. Thanks either way! helped a bunch.

      By the way, my Arch install is perfectly fine since it's not even the first time I get Arch up and running, I've been using KDE until now with no issues.

    Really was looking forward to this but no matter what I do I can’t get the Alacritty terminal to display properly and breaks this whole setup. Lines keep stacking on top each other in the terminal.
