qtile VS gal

Btw. if you're installing from pip anyway, I HIGHLY recommend using git master's version (pip install git+https://github.com/qtile/qtile). It's very stable and it contains a lot of improvements, features and - mostly important - bug fixes, especially because the fact that the last 0.22.1 release is almost one year old. The current master works fine with xcffib 1.4 and cairocffi 1.6 (the newest possible versions).

Yes, all the dependencies listed in qtile.org are installed.

I think yesterday qtile.org itself seemed to be working properly. Now it is also offline.

Did you see the changelog? https://github.com/qtile/qtile/blob/master/CHANGELOG

You need to have xcffib in version 1.3.0 and you probably have 1.4.0. You also need cairocffi 1.5.1 and you probably have 1.6.0, so it will fail as the next step. Install correct versions or wait until https://github.com/qtile/qtile/pull/4289 is merged.

Meanwhile users can still communicate and ask questions in the official Github discussion board: https://github.com/qtile/qtile/discussions or alternatively in IRC irc://irc.oftc.net:6667/qtile during the blackout time period.

Hello 👋, I use Gnome for my ThinkPad it works nice for me. But giving your ram I would suggest a window manager like Qtile which I prefer and I am about move from Gnome to it when I finish my configurations. But if you want something which will be usable out of the box Xfce is a nice choice too as people mentioned above. 😁😁 Here is the link to GitHub for Qtile if you want to give it a glance https://github.com/qtile/qtile

It's currently not supported on Wayland. There is an open issue for it: https://github.com/qtile/qtile/issues/4225

I am working on putting the finishing touches on my program, gal. The most important part of finishing up this program is the implementation of operating system security syscalls. I have some familiarity with OpenBSD's pledge(2) and unveil(2), but am running into issues with what modules to use. This may be a long post, and perhaps a little out all over the place, but I will try to keep things brief.

Aahhh, that clears a lot up. Well in that case I will stick maybe using a namedtouple in my program for grouping variables for now. If I may bug you one last time, this is my first python3 program and I have been looking for someone to look over it, my Makefile and my documentation so I can be made aware of where I can improve and any bad habits I should break. If you have a moment could you look over my program?

gal.

Working on a rewrite, but for now you can use this. Doing >your cmd... will run it in a terminal.

This is the full code base, I know it has some ways it can be improved :), https://gitlab.com/FOSSilized_Daemon/gal/-/blob/python3-rewrite/src/gal

I have pretty much written the entirety of my very first python3 program! It is nothing too crazy, just a python3 port of the shell script I use to launch programs. The issue I am having is that my python3 edition of this script keeps complaining about the arguments list in my subprocess call call being too long. I did some debugging and this is due to list_of_programs, but in my shell script edition I never had this issue so I have to imagine that this is an issue with subprocess not the actual shell. I initially though this was due to list_of_programs not being seen as a string so I tried str(list_of_porgrams), but got the same issue. Could someone expand on why I am getting this error?

I was able to figure out removing $0, the program name, and have set -x but have one bug I can not figure out removing. For some reason my script never passes the contents of find_programs_in_path to prompt_for_input. I have tried debugging the issue, but no dice. I am guessing it is going to be something obvious, but can't seem to find it, could you take one quick look? https://gitlab.com/FOSSilized_Daemon/gal/-/blob/master/src/gal

I am currently going through the process of cleaning all of my old scripts and ran into an issue I can't seem to figure out how to resolve. In all of my POSIX shell scripts that are used within graphical environments I have a function called prompt_for_input, what this function does is it basically takes an environment variables called PROMPT_MENU and uses that with whatever is passed as the first argument to the function to create, well, a prompt menu. To clear up any confusion here is an example. You could set either of the following lines within your .profile:

Neat, I'll have to add that functionality to my dmenu script.
