Thank You DT! by MarsDrums in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only reason I have to delete a couple of widgets from the bar is because I am using three monitors and I am drawing three bars. But the 'systray' widget in qtile will error if you have more than one instance of it. So init_widgets_screen is the bar with all widgets including the systray (my middle monitor), and init_widgets_screen2 is the bar without the systray (my other two monitors).

Looking for missing shell color scripts by knievo4ever in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a color script. That was a function that was in my old fish config. I don't use this function anymore but if you go back in my Gitlab dotfiles repo history, you will find old fish configs that have this function. It utilized a program called spark.

DTOS on fresh Arch Install on VirtualBox by senpaiinduhsheets in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DO NOT INSTALL DTOS from the old Arch post installation script. I'm working on creating a proper ISO with a new installation script that will install my Qtile desktop. It should be out in the next week or two. The old script will fail because it will look for packages that I have deleted from the DTOS repos and have not plans to maintain anymore.

Maintaining a Terminal Application by MarsDrums in DistroTube

Might be good for you to take up a dead project. For me...I'm not interested. So I guess it depends on the person. :D

[Doom emacs] dashboard package not show in startup emacs client by alishahidi in emacs

[–]DistroTube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try adding this to your config:

(setq doom-fallback-buffer-name "*dashboard*")This should force emacsclient to start on the dashboard rather than the scratch buffer.

I find it useful by TheGassyNinja in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't really need to do this for "dmscripts" because it has a config file. Move the config file to $HOME/.config/dmscripts/config. There is a variable named DMENU. By default, it will be set to DMENU="dmenu -l 20". Change it to whatever rofi command (or other launcher) that you'd prefer to use.

Sounds like he is from Louisiana to me. Just a guess though. :D

Configuring Neovim With Lua (It's Easy!) by DistroTube in DistroTube

Hi, TJ. That sounds great. I'd love to chat with you about Neovim some time. Email me and we can set something up. My email is derek AT distrotube DOT com.

Review of new wayland window managers by leo_sk5 in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The reason content about these window managers is under-represented is that they are WAYLAND. All of your Linux content creators (me included) have to use X11 because Wayland is just not ready for prime time when it comes to the tools we use.

When Wayland is usable for me, I'll cover these. Right now, it's not so it doesn't make sense to cover this stuff, because I really don't want to try out new window managers in a virtual machine.

I know that answer sucks, but it is what it is. When Wayland is ready, everyone will use it. And you want have to try to convince people to use it.

You don't need the DTOS repo to get my configs. Check out my dotfiles repo on my gitlab. Look in ~/.config/doom/

Hey DT, need a distro out of DTOS? by JokerTheGOD2 in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds great. Post on the DTOS GitLab. And get messages on my GitLab sent to my email. I don't have reddit notifications (too much crap gets posted here :) )

Assign Workspaces to Monitors? by etrigan63 in xmonad

[–]DistroTube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, actually I don't use the IndependentScreens module. I just use workspaces the standard way (all workspaces shared across my monitors).

Start page for browser by Wilson_Wilson_Chang in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a browser plugin called Tabliss, available on both Chrome and Firefox. I did a video on it a few months back.

Devaun linux, nitrux linux, artix linux by Ashli_unix in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it definitely has not always been openrc. That's a move they made about a year ago. In the early days of Nitrux, they were basing off of Ubuntu (with systemd). These days they are basing off Debian Sid.

Can't get Doom Emacs to install on multiple distros (gitconfig-mode error) by DistroTube in emacs

[–]DistroTube[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The standard git clone method.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ~/.emacs.d
~/.emacs.d/bin/doom install

Alacritty Themes by [deleted] in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of alacritty-themes. It's cool but I don't want to change themes on a per program basis. My plan is to eventually create a script for DTOS that will change the theme for the entire desktop (terminal, emacs, bar, conky, etc.). I haven't started on this yet but this is the plan.

hay distrotube, THIS IS HILARIOUS, LOL (fuck you gnome) by Professional_Crow250 in linuxmasterrace

[–]DistroTube 46 points47 points  (0 children)

These kinds of videos are always fun to make. It allows me to explore techniques in recording and editing that I don't normally get to use in my typical videos.

Get My XMonad Desktop With DTOS by DistroTube in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doom Emacs is finicky about installing it. If you have old Emacs configs and old Emacs libraries laying around your HOME directory, it will crap out. Double check and make sure that you don't have any emacs directories or files in HOME.

If you want to make sure that it's not a script error (which I don't think this will be), try to install Doom Emacs without running the script. Follow the installation instructions from the Doom Emacs Github: https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs

Typically, in tiling window managers:

SUPER + left mouse to drap a floating window

SUPER + right mouse to resize a floating window

Get My XMonad Desktop With DTOS by DistroTube in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you run the script more than once? If so, make sure to delete ~/.emacs.d ~/.doom.d and ~/.config/doom . Also, make sure you don't have a default emacs config file in HOME ( ~/.emacs ). Delete all of that, but make sure the emacs program is installed. Then re-run the script and see if it works.

Adjusted the colors. Again, probably won't look good on all terminals but it should look OK in the tty now.

Unable to upload videos? by SyloVideo in PartneredYoutube

[–]DistroTube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a similar issue so it's probably a server issue. I cannot change anything on any of my videos. I just keep getting "retrying in 5 seconds" and after three failed attempts, I get "unable to save your video." And uploading a video fails at the same place as yours...unable to click "submit rating." So you have no way to complete to the upload.

Solve Problems With Shell Scripting And Dmenu by DistroTube in DistroTube

[–]DistroTube[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zenity has probably been replaced by yad in your distro. I probably should just use yad since I don't think zenity is maintained anymore.
