Hello, guys, I just installed artix and then install awesome. And want to configure it, but have no .config directory. I created it, copied rc.lua from /etc/xdg/awesome/, but it's don't work with it. Only with /etc/xdg/awesome/ dir. Can you help me with it, or I can just leave it like this?

  • upd: It was my mistake, because I created .xinitrc using root profile using such command: touch ~/.xinitrc, that why it was created in /root/ directory and caused errors, when I trying to startx without sudo. (I didn't write about it, cause thought that it didn't matter) But now all works right

just to be sure, config should be at /home/yourusername/.config/awesome/rc.lua

The user path should be .config/awesome/rc.lua

Also recommend to check out https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats

for ready made themes.

yes, my pass exactly sameyes, my pass exactly same, or ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua is difference?

Don't recommend leaving it like this, because if Awesome ever releases an update you'll lose your config.

Where exactly did you copy your rc.lua?
