As this is aimed for advanced users and minimal, why not use doas as an alternative to sudo.

Hello.

#!/bin/bash
if=$(ip -br l | awk '$1 !~ "lo|vir|wl" { print $1}')
# echo "$if" # test the interface
defif="enp5s0"  # define default interface
# echo "$defif" # test the default interface
# sed -i "s/$defif/$if/g" dotfiles/polybar/config
sed -i "s/$defif/$if/g" .config/polybar/config.ini # testing and it works

enp5s0 is saved as default interface in the config. This bash script learns your eth interface (without lo,vir,wl) and changes enp5s0 interface to yours.

I guess polybar's config file have to named with .ini extension. I noticed this a few days ago, when I ran polybar from terminal, it said config file is outdated and have to named with .ini extension. But I have committed (and others, thanks to everyone) to config file, the config.ini file does not include my commit. What can we do in this situtation?

Fresh install following the youtube video instructions, on bare metal laptop (3rd Gen i5-3317U). Seems to be going great by default, I didn't notice any errors running the root and user scripts. I'm new to sddm & bspwm so I'm a bit lost, but really love it so far.

My issue: The "magnifying glass" symbol on the polybar top-left menu is showing as a square box with hex values in it - i.e. missing unicode in font. Just comparing visually between Chris' menu and mine, they appear to be the same font used. The only fonts I saw installing were the MS-TTF fonts, and they all seemed to install correctly. I'm not sure what exactly is wrong/missing.

Same issue when I click the power icon (top-right) - all 5 symbols are missing hex boxes.

Reboot doesn't fix it.

PS - this feels more like a noob-in-distress problem than a real "issue" - is there a better place for me to ask questions like this?

EDIT: Corrected my misunderstanding of bspwm vs polybar

I used the Debian ISO provided by the README.
Ran ./root.sh as root
Ran ./user.sh as user
rebooted
selected sddm
and this is what I get.

variety / scripts / set_wallpaper
for simple WM is depending on feh or nitrogen
both are missing , so it fails

possible solution: add package feh in user.sh script ?

sudo apt install feh

    Closing it

I installed this setup on a laptop and It had many issues but the main one is the brightness problem. As there is no way to adjust it manually I tried increasing it with "xrandr" from the terminal and set it max. But it still feels pretty dim when compared to the manjaro that is dual booted on the same system. Oh and what is the 11% button it seems like brightness control but can't make it work. The other issue I'm facing is that the touch pad tap to click functionality won't work properly, I have to switch it off and then switch it back on every single time I restart my system.

Not sure how this could be added to the install but this would be great to have as part of it all.

Im having a problem where in my setup where I have two monitors. I already have polybar showing up on the two monitors.

My problem is that is showing up double the ammount of workspaces, where should I have only 10 and switch between them between the monitors. Im sending a imgur link to show my problem at the bottom.

I think that my left monitor has 10 workspaces and my right monitor has another 10.

Wifi Label seems to be missing, same as the powermenu icons.
I'm connected to the internet, but there's no label as seen on the picture, tried re-installing firacode and meslo but the problem doesn't seem to be solved.

Trying a fresh install with a fresh git clone and this caught my attention.. Why is this trying to delete /usr/local?

Preparing to unpack .../rofi_1.7.1-0.1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking rofi (1.7.1-0.1) over (1.7.0-1) ...

Hi,

Are there somewhere i386 and/or ARM64 packages of your rofi_1.7.0 custom package available.

By not having the Custom Package for both i386 and ARM64, I'am not able to get the machine properly running on a VM using Parallels on a M1 or Intel Mac.

I don't know only I have this problem or not but my screen is flashing sometimes and it's more regularly when you run osu!lazer (I know I am not supposed to run games but it's happen sometimes not even in game) I don't know it's the graphics card driver issue or not (I am using NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti ) Hope someone can fixed my issue.

Polybar seems to use "~/.config/polybar/config" by default instead of the newer "~/.config/polybar/config.ini".

I solved the problem by renaming the first file.

I was playing with the options of this script in dietpi.. The portion:

username=$(id -u -n 1000)
builddir=$(pwd)

grabs the first created user on the system which -in case of dietpi- might be a different user than the one which is used regularly. I created regular user 'igor' for which I had to change 1000 into 1001..

Not an issue but a suggestion...

The current OS setup forces you into having to update sources and all the extra steps that come with it when you can just install the testing OS firmware-testing-amd64-i386-netinst.iso from the get go.

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/daily-builds/sid_d-i/current/multi-arch/iso-cd/

Also, it should be noted that anything other than Bullseye (stable) does not get security updates in a timely manner for those that are / would be concerned about that..

Please note that security updates for "unstable" distribution are not managed by the security team. Hence, "unstable" does not get security updates in a timely manner.

Please note that security updates for "testing" distribution are not yet managed by the security team. Hence, "testing" does not get security updates in a timely manner.

You are encouraged to switch your sources.list entries from testing to bullseye for the time being if you need security support.

I am enjoying this Destro, config what ever you want to name it but I need to configure open vpn and I did add one using an .ovpn file but when I click on connect nothing happens I tried to dig a bit in this but I couldn't find a solution to it, I am an average linux user.
note: i did the installation in a virtual box.

Hi, After installing the debian 12 version. I ran this script. After that i can able to access only the terminals and i can only see the terminal alone. Please help, how should i need to proceed further.

For the Calendar to work, you must install yad. It should be included in the packages script. also, the interface in ETH needs to be changed to your specified network (The icon is not working though, i gets dropped according to logs). All changes made in ~/.config/polybar/config.

I guess I have to change PulseAudio as well, as I recall, he is using another program that I don't remember.
Edit. It works with the actual module, it's missing the installation of pavucontrol.

Specifically shutdown, restart, and lock. All other icons work. I've tried re-installing rofi but that doesn't work

Hi,I'm a total beginner to Linux. I'm installing the system without a root user. Just as a user who will use 'sudo'. When I go to Software selection I uncheck all options and leave only 'standard system utlilties'. I follow these commands from github:git clone https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/debian-tituscd debian-titussudo ./install.shUnfortunately after a long time, **
I get this message displayed:"You need to be a member of the sudo group to run me!"**Previously it displays me this:Using aptUsage: grep [OPTION] ... PATTERNS [FILE] ...Try 'grep -- help' for more information.
Do you know how to fix it/cause it to install completely correctly and successfully though?

Though some are known but shouldn't these be installed internally!!!!

I seem to have an issue with the shutdown menu where clicking the buttons do not do anything. I have tried clicking on all the icons in the menu but nothing happens. In sddm the buttons function, but the power menu in the window manager/polybar does not. I usually have to resort to shutting down in the terminal emulator. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I just installed Debian-Titus bspwm branch. However,
when I rebooted my PC, the starting screen was stuck when it said that sddm was starting, so I pressed Alt+F2 to access the terminal, but the terminal was displaying weirdly and there wasn’t any login screen or WM. I'm not sure how to fix it. Any advice is appreciated.

Hey there,
I'm kinda new to linux & while checking the install.sh script I noticed a few things & I want to know about more about them. Like :

1. Are every single thing mentioned on the script configured or I need to configure them myself (Example being the bash, Nala, Font, Cursor, Graphical login. Do I need to configure any of them myself ?)

2. I saw Nordic theme downloaded but seems untouched what do I need to to use it as I don't want to use CLI all the time & as it seems it seems better off running with GNOME. So, How should I install that theme correctly without adding any kind of bloatware just the necessary system apps.

Thanks In Advance. Also Love your content CTT if you seeing this ❤️

Was interested in deploying this in VirtManager and ran into this. Not knowledgeable enough to diagnose, but it was enough to halt my install.

There is no sound output in Debian-titus. I tried installing pulseaudio but still there is no sound. how to fix this?

Note : when I ran the command pulseaudio, and then played a video, the following output came through, though still there was no sound :

N: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Disabling timer-based scheduling because running inside a VM.
E: [alsa-sink-ES1371/1] alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write.
E: [alsa-sink-ES1371/1] alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_ens1371'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
E: [alsa-sink-ES1371/1] alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.
N: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Disabling timer-based scheduling because running inside a VM.

I just started using this WM, I'm still a newbie on Window Managers so I got several questions on mine when using this one.

1. I only use laptop for this so I don't know how do I fix the screen tearing issue, especially when browsing it really screen tears a lot.
2. The window titles on the polybar sometimes overlaps when the tab has usually long phrase so I'm not also sure how do I get to fix it.

So far I have a good experience on this, really good alternative and I have adopted already the usage of the keyboards, Hopefully someone will answer, thank you!

It might be an issue since for ex. nala gives out errors and after that you have to use apt and there is no way of that

Hi, I'm facing with "done" popup problem.
Even if I try to use:

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Chris, great fan of your work

Wondering if you could add support in your script for ly display manager please as I wanted to use it instead of sddm, but unsure what to do as in the script it mentions sddm themes....

Thankyou

Hey guys, it seems that after a clean install with the script the environment seems corrupted / missing some assets pictures and such.

Hello, so I'm pretty new to Linux and I have tried installing this on my laptop running Kubuntu 22.04. When I installed it, all my apps switched to light mode even though in the settings it is still in dark mode and I have no idea how to switch back. I have no idea on how to uninstall it either. Any help appreciated.

When you're using the original nord.rasi for your rofi theme (so not the sidebar) and Rofi version is 1.7.0
the Rofi nord theme isn't rendering, it gives an error.

In the nord-rofi-theme repo there's actually a pull-request to fix that error: undiabler/nord-rofi-theme#2

I'll submit a PR here, to fix the original nord.rasi as well, based on that PR from the original nord-rofi-theme

how can i install it on ubuntu 22.04??

I have an idea to make for Debian (I'm using LMDE) privacy and security enhancements. I had file with all steps included mac spoofing, mullvad dns, librewolf etc. Anybody want to join?
Chris what are you thinking about this idea? :)

1. polybar doesn't themed and it is black.
   

2. When title bar is long polybar doesn't display power menu.
   

in file dotfiles/rofi/powermenu/powermenu.sh
section Options
the Unicode don't show up and after using the powermenu show only the text E9C0 E9C4 E9A3 E991
also in section Confirmation and Message
after -theme reference a message and confirmation rofi file that doesn't exist in the location
also when you click on suspend or logout the lost click register as a click for getting out from the confirmation menu and with that you can answer that you Sure to the message

e

The top polybar bar was displaying a black bar with white icons

If you look at the .Xresources, it refers to #include "/home/titus/.Xnord" on line 25.

I haven't played with using .Xresources in the past but maybe the reference should be:
#include "/home/$USER/.Xnord".

The polybar bar worked fine with the nord colors when using my username.

I have an issue with Debian-Titus (bspwm branch). During the execution of the script, the process halted at 94% completion with Nala, and my screen suddenly lost signal. so, I restarted my computer with the power button and ran the script again, it then rebooted and it briefly displayed
“[FAILED] Failed to start polkit.service - Authorization
Manager” before returning me to the terminal interface again.

Second install attempt. Can get working OS both times, but keep getting weird notice that "The home dir/var/lib/usbmux you specified can't be accessed: No such file or directory" upon executing the install script, toward the end. Also a final message after saying the process "succeeded" indicates (in red) that "you need to be a member of the super user group to use me." If I reboot, it goes straight into the display manager (loggin) despite not having installed one (as per the youtube tutorial... did that get changed since the video was uploaded?) If I don't reboot, the terminal output remains in red for the entirety of the session.

Upon reboot, various things feel "off." Most notably kitty is set by default to a size at least 2X for my 1080p monitor, and I have to manually resize and reposition it every time application is opened, and configuring most (but not all) default app-specific settings seem to reset upon application restart.

Can we dual boot this with Windows, if yes, how?

Hi Chris,

Fan of your youtube page and this github repo.
Just wanted to mention that the link to download the ISO is broken, mostly because of the change debian mentioned here
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/

Since I'm still learning how all of Linux works, I've went with the following alternative.
If I knew a little bit more about Linux/Debian, I've would've update it myself and sent you a PR to merge it into the main branch.
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/

Just wanted to let you know, keep up the good work! <3
