I3-WM installation via another window manager [SOLVED]

[idle burrow]

Did you launch i3-wm for the first time?

[languid shoal]

hmm

yes?

oh

actually i did

and popped up an error

[idle burrow]

an error? What sort of error?

[languid shoal]

this one

[idle burrow]

Did that not ask you what you wanted your modifier key to be?

[languid shoal]

no clue

it simply asked me a yes/no question wich i do not recall what exactly said

but i recall the answer yas a obvious yes

and that error jumped

[idle burrow]

Reading is VERY important you know.

okay uhh... push super+enter

[languid shoal]

i do, i simply forgot

[languid shoal]

on the working desktop enviroment right?

[idle burrow]

in the i3-wm instance.

super+enter or super+t I THINK is the default terminal command

[languid shoal]

seems to not respond to any imppout

also, super means the windows key?

yes

now here seesm to be two terminals

since i've pressed it twice

[idle burrow]

You can close one with super+shift+q, I think.

[languid shoal]

indeed

[idle burrow]

in the other you can type cd ~/.config/i3 then ls

[languid shoal]

indeed

[languid shoal]

exactly

[idle burrow]

It should give something like this

[languid shoal]

same result

[idle burrow]

nano config

[languid shoal]

and now GNU nano 7.2 popped up

[idle burrow]

You should get something like this from it

[languid shoal]

indeed

same result

btw, i'll have to do some stuff

any key detail before i go?

[idle burrow]

Well, this will be where you'll edit most of your hotkeys, which is important.

it'll ALSO be where you set what bar you want to use

[languid shoal]

perfect

i'll leave it there

and once i'm back, i'll work on that

thanks for the help

[languid shoal]

i got back!

[stray osprey]

@languid shoal is i3 your first wm?

[languid shoal]

yes indeed

via a VM

to learn the ropes of linux before using it

[stray osprey]

@languid shoal I would recommend awesome as "my first wm"

[languid shoal]

what?

ah, you mean a tag?

perhaps

still

[stray osprey]

tag?

@languid shoal

[languid shoal]

[languid shoal]
