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
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 there was no errors during installation, but after installing ...when i login that was when i noticed it was just like i installed only qtile..without your configuration
@@user-nu9fi8qt8s Let me check the script in the next days anf I will prepare soon a video how to install my dotfiles. And if you find something out in the meanwhile please post a comment.
Thank you Stephan, this is a very informative video. I am trying to get this working on Ubuntu, if i copy your setup from the repository will this work? Thanks again for the great video!
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 It's originally made for Arch based distros.
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.
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?
I'm confused about what happeend between 5:27 to 5:32 I followed the instruction exactly and nitrogen is not loading wallpaper and alacritty is not showing opacity. (I start qtile with command startx btw)
@@loiphin sorry for the video bug 😀 please check the end of my dotfile gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/qtile/config.py?ref_type=heads and the related qtile wiki page docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/config/hooks.html#autostart
Nice video bro, but please how do i change the keyboard layout language?... i install qtile from your dotfiles on endeavouros , it works great, but the keyboard layout is DE. How do i change the keyboard layout to Uk keyboard lar3
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
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
I tried it by myself but things don't work properly,,, every terminal i install has problem ( spacing in words example = im port s , boot l oader ) I start it by using : qtile start -b wayland

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...
The installation depends on system setups. Can you run python config.py in the /dot files/Qtile folder?
And you run both scripts? 1-install.sh and 2-install-qtile.sh from the /dotfiles folder in your home directory? Any error messages?
@@mylinuxforwork yes i did

Hello but my config.py ins’t the some and when I press Super+Ctrl+R and it doesn’t work
Hi. I will provide very soon a Qtile Starter that can be installed on top of the Hyprland Dotfiles.
@@mylinuxforwork thank you
Great video & perfect introduction into Qtile ricing. Will there be a follow up with more ricing for Qtile? Would be great!
Thank you for your feedback. Do you have a topic where the video should focus on? Please also check the video ruclips.net/video/-FpPwicjTKU/видео.html
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.
Thanks for sharing.

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

Thank you so much for your feedback. Can you describe what you have removed from the autostart?
@@mylinuxforwork I added the lines I saw for the autostart in the qtile config then removed it, my terminal isn’t transparent too.
@@AeroTechRevolve do you have picom installed correctly?
@@mylinuxforworkItss installed I have to use picom -b for it to work. Alacritty isnt working too.
I'm confused about what happeend between 5:27 to 5:32
I followed the instruction exactly and nitrogen is not loading wallpaper and alacritty is not showing opacity. (I start qtile with command startx btw)
nvm I forgot to add "from libqtile import hook"
That's great that you were able to fix it. Hove fun.
Hi! Following your video, but also missed something at 5:27 to 5:32 ??? What do I do?@@mylinuxforwork
@@loiphin sorry for the video bug 😀 please check the end of my dotfile gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/qtile/config.py?ref_type=heads and the related qtile wiki page docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/config/hooks.html#autostart
Can you share the main reasons why you seem to favor polybar over the default qtile bar?
Good question. I wanted to use a status bar that works on multiple window managers. But the Qtile bar is great as well.

Have you managed to get Qtile working in wayland?
Hi. Currently, I’m using Qtile in Xorg only. But I‘m thinking to switch to Wayland as well. Should work. docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/wayland.html
why qtile is so ducking hard to install full of errors and bigs
Which errors occur in your installation? Maybe I can help you.
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
@@horrorspidey7033 That is correct what you’re saying. Thank you.
Hy can you make a video on ,,, qtile using Wayland on nixos (nvidia) 🙏
I tried it by myself but things don't work properly,,, every terminal i install has problem ( spacing in words example = im port s , boot l oader )
I start it by using : qtile start -b wayland
Thanks for your comment. I will check on my NixOS virtual machine.
