    This is just what I needed. I've been watching a bunch of Linux UA-camrs review dwm and really wanted to join in on the fun, but I've struggled a bit to get it installed properly. Looks like I'll just do a fresh Arch install and go from there. Thanks for the tutorial, and keep up the good work!

    Thank you for the video. That made it really simple to follow along and get a first dwm-installation in no time. I was always hesitant to try dwm so far, but that was a gentle introduction.

      DWM looks kind of scary, but you just need to know the basics and then it’s actually quite simple to build upon. It’s a fantastic WM and I really like it.

  • @GrahamAtDesk
    @GrahamAtDesk 2 роки тому +2

    Nicely done. Just a quick tip; when using make to compile and install software it's considered best practice to run the compilation as a non-root user, then install the files as root in a second step. So the first command is just `make` and the second is `sudo make install`. You won't need the "clean" target, which just removes locally modified files created by `make`. Why am I mentioning this? Because if you do it this way you won't have any files owned by root mixed up in your source code, that really ought to be owned by your non-root user. I'm highlighting the convenience here, but some would argue that an even stronger argument not to compile code as root is security; an error in a Makefile won't be able to wipe out your entire system if you're not running it as root!

    Again, a rock-solid video! I'd very much like for you to give an in-depth presentation of dwm and the patching that you hinted at. Thanks for the great content.
    I've been looking for a tabbed mode in other window managers. The monocle mode seems to come closest to what I've been looking for.

      Hi! Patching will come in the next video. I am going to install 2 patches and eventually also show how to remove one. DWM is very customizable through these patches, but sometime they require manual intervention.

    One note:
    When you want to edit DWM or ST configs, you should be editing 'config.h'. 'config.def.h' is the file with default options. You copy that file into 'config.h' when you mess things up with 'config.h'.
    Anyway, thanks :)

    • @eflinux
      @eflinux  4 роки тому +2

      Thanks for sharing! I can't remember where I saw that, but I have seen people doing this in many ways. Thing is one would need to back up the config.h file from time to time, as going back to the def file you'd lose all the changes you made.

    Just want to note, if anyone has an issue where they are doing this in a VM and after running `startx` the terminal is frozen and you have to turn off the vm, it was because I had 'Enable 3d Acceleration' on in my VM settings. DistroTube had a similar video to this and thats where I finally found it out, although he just installs from git repos so I think this is a little better tutorial.

    Is it me or is the contrast poor on this one?

      You can find out the name of your manager once you start the wm. Start the terminal and type xrandr and you’ll see it.

      Something must have gone wrong during the configuration as dmenu should be working fine. You'll have to check again that the files are are correctly downloaded in the appropriate directory and re check the config file for the keys.

      i don't think that is correct, there is not other file config.. i can run the wm but nothin works and the file config is lost.. I searched the entire system and there are no signs or installation, much less configuration files, the strangest thing is that the window manager runs

      I usually do, but in this case files are downloaded directly from suckless, which is most up to date.

      Hi, I have never tried that, but basically you can follow the same process. Just for the extra packages you'll have to use apt. I can't guarantee it works though as I've never tried it myself.

      First make a backup :) I'd try installing it from within Mint. Mint used lightdm as display manager, you should be able to access the session from there.

    This is not explaining anything. Just do this an install that... For someone willing to understand what is a window manager and what it does this video is useless. This is the video equivalent of an install script, undoubtedly useful for those who seek quick solutions but useless for those willing to learn.
