# Various dotfiles for my [Void](https://voidlinux.org/) - [Qtile-Wayland](https://github.com/qtile/qtile) setup. A full-featured, hackable tiling window manager written and configured in Python. Please note that I use the latest Qtile from their GitHub repo which can be installed by following the installation instructions [below](#installing-qtile-wayland). ![ScreenShot](screenshot.jpg) ## Details Below is a list of some of the packages that I use for my current setup which consists of two screens. A monitor as the main screen and the laptop screen as a slave and Kanshi is used to set the monitor as the left most. Please note that my config isn't perfect so your mileage may vary.

Ensure the wlroots is installed On Void: `sudo xbps-install -S wlroots0.16 wlroots0.16-devel` #### 2. Clone the Qtile repo `git clone https://github.com/qtile/qtile.git cd qtile` #### 3. Install Qtile dependencies `python -m pip install dbus-next pywlroots pywayland "cairocffi >= 1.6.0" "cffi >= 1.1.0" "xcffib >= 1.4.0" wheel --no-cache-dir --force` #### 4. Install qtile for the first time `python -m pip install .` #### 5. Find FFI Names The following command lists the names of the system binaries we need copy `ls /usr/lib64 | grep "libxkbcommon\|libinput\|libwlroots"` The following command lists the names of the pywlroots binaries we need to replace `ls ~/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pywlroots.libs | grep "libinput\|li bxkbcommon\|libwlroots" ` #### 6. Patch the pywlroots FFI Symlink the relevant system binary to the pywlroot binaries. In my case ``` ln /usr/lib64/libxkbcommon.so.0.0.0 ~/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pywlroots.libs/libxkbcommon-de59cad2.so.0.0.0 -fs ln /usr/lib64/libinput.so.10.13.0 ~/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pywlroots.libs/libinput-a3c39512.so.10.13.0 -fs ln /usr/lib64/libwlroots.so.11 ~/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pywlroots.libs/libwlroots-62d802e9.so.11 -fs ``` #### 7. Build qtile FFI This next command is super important, we need to build the ffi for the virtual enviroments qtile ``` cd ~/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages python libqtile/backend/wayland/cffi/build.py ``` #### 8. Install Qtile for the second and (hopefully) final time ``` cd 'The location of your qtile git repo'/qtile python -m pip install . ``` #### 9. Start Qtile Either: `qtile start -b wayland` Or: `dbus-run-session qtile start -b wayland` ## Keybindings ### Window manager controls | Keys | Action | | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------- | | CTRL + MOD + r | restart Qtile | | CTRL + MOD + q | shutdown Qtile | | CTRL + MOD + w | Open window switcher | | MOD + w | kill window | | MOD + RETURN | spawn terminal | | CTRL + Space | Rofi menu | | CTRL + MOD + p | Rofi power menu | ## To set the wallpaper From within ranger if you highlight a valid image file and enter "wp" it will set that image as the default wallpaper.
