Development ISO with i3 Live and offline install

Lock is also not working for me. Just spinning circle!

Edit: One thing i don’t understand about i3. If i have terminal open and i split it vertically and then split right side horizontal why can’t i have the browser open in the left pane? It only seems like the browser can open in it’s own space and then i can split the screen and have two browsers.

like this?

Yes i can’t figure out how to do that. :unamused:

eos set firefox in ws 2 ( if remember right ) terminal in ws 1 … so they open in those ws…

I set a terminal free … so it open on any window i like …

I don’t know how to do that yet? I haven’t tried changing any configs.

find in config and add " # " like below and save I have copy of eos i3 config so i can help people sometime


# autostart start applications + bind program to workspace:
#assign [class="Xfce4-terminal"] $ws1
for_window [class=Xfce4-terminal] focus
assign [class="(?i)firefox"] $ws2
for_window [class=(?i)firefox] focus
assign [class="Thunar"] $ws3
for_window [class=Thunar] focus
assign [class="Thunderbird"] $ws4
for_window [class=Thunderbird] focus
assign [class="TelegramDesktop"] $ws5
for_window [class=TelegramDesktop] focus

edit Think this old config . idea the same

just make backup before you change things … then you go back if you mess up

Okay… i am reinstalling the latest ISO. Lock screen isn’t working though.

Edit: What is the easiest way to make a back up of that file?

not use rofi … i set lock "MOD+Shift+l "

Edit
Maybe move these last posts … not really Development more help and this for Development

@ricklinux

you could use gui or something like

cp /home/rick/.config/i3/config /home/rick/.config/i3/configbkup

replace rick with user name

or " cp ~/.config/i3/config ~/.config/i3/configbkup "
