# 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).
## 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.<br />
The wallpaper featured in the screenshots can be found here: https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/015/554/914/large/artur-sadlos-to-sh300-ooh-as-05i.jpg

## Installing Qtile Wayland
#### 1. 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`
