Ubuntu :: Awesome Or Tiling WM Users Unite

Dec 11, 2010

So who here also uses awesomewm, or a tiling window manger? I've been using awesome for about 6 months at home, and started using it recently at my new job on my desktop at work. Whether it's at work or home, I've noticed that a tiling WM has increased my productivity 10 fold. I'm able to organize everything by tag, then tile. With awesomewm I have come to love it's reliainace on the LUA language. If I need a new feature, I can add it pretty easily. i.e. I have created custom prompts with some scripting to rdp and ssh into box's with the login information, resolution, already inputed.

Put in some if/else in there also, for certain hostnames that require different credentials, or different settings. It also mounts the c$ or root drive once connected to my /ticket/##### directory. So it's a snap to copy any file over. With LUA I've been pretty much able to extend the window manger to my needs with any script I can imagine. So come on everyone, discuss! Whether you are using awesomewn, or dwn or another great tiling window manager. Post your code, your settings, lets make this thread as big as the conky thread.

Ubuntu :: Tiling And Compiz Zooming Effect?

Jan 22, 2011

I'm pretty new to ubuntu/linux and my knowledge about window managers is limited, so please bare with me. I was wondering if anyone knows a decent wm that supports tiling and can also have the zoom effect from compiz (mod+scroll up/mod+scroll down). I know compiz can achieve some tiling with the grid addon but that's not that great. I was looking for something more similar to how xmonad manages windows and workplaces.

Ubuntu :: Compiz Settings For Maximize / Tiling

Mar 9, 2011

I have been missing this feature from windows, and had thought I would just have to do without, but today, people have alluded that it is possible to do with compiz. I am referring to the ability to take a window, drag it to the edge of the screen and it to then fill up that side of the screen.. or if drug to the top, maximize itself. I have looked and messed with settings, and have been able to do something to the effect of dragging my mouse to the edge of the screen will kind of tile windows, but it does it to all my windows or all of a certain type and whatnot.

And I want to do it to a specific window, and then another - for the side by side viewing. it also does not vertically maximize it, only taking a portion of the screen from top to bottom. I have been able to do it this way by having only 2 windows open and using a keyboard to do so, but i would like to be able to use only my mouse. Is there a way to drag one window the the edge of the screen and have it maximize to that half-side of the screen AND/OR drag to the top and have it maximize to fullscreen?

Ubuntu :: Firefox Awesome Bar Not Working In 10.04

Ubuntu :: Any Distro That Use Awesome By Default?

Sep 2, 2010

I've been wanting to play around with the idea of switching to a tiling wm. So I started up virtual box and installed Ubuntu minimal, then installed awesome, gdm, terminator, Firefox, gedit, and a few other trinkets. What I would like to know, is their any other programs that work good, and look decent in awesome. I switched to terminator from gnome-terminal because I like the look of terminator better when it is in awesome. Also, is their any distro that use awesome by default, I may be able to play around with or get ideas from? Post some screen shots, I'm interested in how everyone else is set up. Once, i get mine set up to fit me, i'm going to remastersys it, and use it on my production machine.

Fedora :: Gnome Shell Many Window Tiling

Jun 21, 2011

I'm looking for a feature in Gnome Shell that would allow me to tile all of the open windows on a desktop. Something akin to Fluxbox's ArrangeWindows keyboard shortcut. I know you can tile two windows side by side, but I would need something capable of tiling ALL of them. Does something like this exist, or would I need to look into writing a Gnome Shell extension?

Ubuntu :: Awesome 3.4.1 Upgrade And Status Bar Icons

May 28, 2010

I'm on Ubuntu (crunchbang actually) 9.04, and I've ventured to the world of the tiling WMs. Specifically, Awesome. I used 2.3.4 for quite a while, but have recently upgraded to 3.4.1. I've managed to get the vicious widgets working to display network, cpu, mem, etc., but the one thing that is driving me crazy is the statusbar icons.
to avoid the tl,dr;
Is there anyway to turn off the program icons in the status bar for the open programs? i.e. terminal, firefox, etc. I' ve googled as well as I can with no luck, and the awesome wiki for this seems to be outdated, as its suggestion bricks my awesome config.

Debian Multimedia :: An Introduction To Tiling Window Managers?

Nov 1, 2010

I'm deciding to go with a window manager instead of a desktop environment. I want to go simple and lightweight, and I know a lot of you run window managers such as openbox, fluxbox, and some tiling ones like xmonad, awesome and dwm. I want to give xmonad a try. For those of you who run tiling window managers, how do you know what is running in the background? There is no system tray in a screenshot such as this: [URL]. I'll be playing around with xmobar because that seems to be a popular panel with xmonad, and that's what's in that screenshot.

Also, how do you run your programs? You don't run it always from the command line, do you? When I want to run Chromium, I have to start up a terminal and load it that way, having the terminal and the browser open when using the browser. I know other window managers like openbox provide a right click menu, but xmonad doesn't (or does it?). I know a lot of people who use tiling window managers also use a lot of console apps, and I like that feel, but I don't think I'd want text for everything, such as the web.

Ubuntu Networking :: Can Not Connect Wireless When Using Awesome Window Manager / Fix It?

May 4, 2011

As I mentioned on the thread title, I can not connect wilreless under awesome window manager,it can scan wirless, but just can not connect it. I am using
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "...." key s:"***"
or
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "...." key s:**** (I try both, neither of it works)

and I do some search, and trying
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "..." key s:*****
it is not working as well.

So, hoping you can give any solution. I am appreciating your helping.

But, interesting thing is, under gnome, it wireless is pretty good, I have no idea how it could be, but just works fine.

btw, under awesome, when I typing nm-tool, it always indicate that wlan0 is disconnect.

Software :: Firefox Awesome Bar History Clean Up?

Feb 22, 2009

I continue to try and get the back the Firefox I grew to love prior to the 3.0 release. My latest endeavor is to clean-up the Awesome Bar history. I don't understand the reasoning behind the well established "Clear Private Data" tool and the fact that nothing seems to work to clear the Awesome Bar history. Why have the tool if it isn't going to clean the Awesome Bar also. I don't want to get into the merits of the Awesome Bar I just want to clear it when I want to. I have done a lot of searching on this and there doesn't seem to be a real solution. There are many sudo solutions that don't actually clear what the Awesome Bar keeps track of as to merely hide it from view. The most common are the Firefox 2 history bar reincarnations.

Slackware :: Black / Dead Space In Terminal (Tiling Window Managers)

Mar 17, 2010

I've been playing around with two tiling window managers, scrotwm, and xmonad. I like xmonad better, but that's not the point. The point is that they both produce these strange black bars at the bottom when a terminal window is opened. Note that this does not happen in fluxbox/openbox, my other wm.
Its hard to explain, so please see the screenshots: [URL]
Note the black bar, or just dead at space the bottom of the the terminal windows. In the third image, the prompt is at the "bottom" of the window, or what should be. Again, this only happens in scrotwm and xmondad, no other wm's I've tested.

Fedora Installation :: Awesome Doesn't Work / Resolve This?

Jul 31, 2011

I've installed the Awesome WM using "sudo yum install awesome" (as described here https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Awesome-3-fedora ). I can also log into awesome, but nothing works! I can open the menu on the top left of the screen, but when I click on e.g. "Open Terminal", nothing happens. Same thing for all other menu options except "Shut down" which logs me out of Awesome. I've also tried the terminal shortcut, but nothing works.

Has anyone an idea how to make it work?

If I want to add Windows & Mac users as Samba users, must I first add them all as Ubuntu users? If so, since none of the other users will actually be working on the Ubuntu Server, how do I disable the other non-admin users on the Ubuntu Server login screen. I am using Webmin to administer some server settings, and command line for others.

The ten machines will have /home/student01..10 and /home/linsig01..10 as users. We want /home/student01 to be able to explore and sudo so they can learn to administer their personal machines at home. We don't want them to be able to modify (sudo) /home/linsig01. I've seen the tutorial on Access Control Lists but I'd like other input so we get it right the first time.

Fedora Networking :: Mapping Windows Users On Unix Users

Sep 29, 2010

Samba up and running on my pc. pc runs FC12 with kde. A laptop has win vista. The pc can access the shares on the laptop but the laptop has authentication issues to access the pc. Note that windows doesnt enforce authentication forincoming network connections.Using the system-config-samba util i tried to map a windows user to the unix user "feduser". The laptop (named LAPPY) has a user (lapuser) which has on windows no password.What should I tell samba config what the windows username should be? lapuser or LAPPYlapuser doesnt work because when accessing the pc via the laptop, the authentication fails. The only auth that is successful is when choosing the same winusername as the unix username.

Secondary, id like to setup the laptop so that the user doesnt have to provide a name and password, or at least not more then once in the lifetime of the laptop. Note that you cant provide an empty password to system-config-samba. How is that possible?

Strange but not really on issue imho:the samba - KDE control module(kcmshall4) (and the smb.conf) shows 2 shares: the homedirs and the data dir the samba server configurator (system-config-samba) shows only the datadir.
