Hi, As Ubuntu/Debian does not have the have qtile packages anymore, users need to use the source to install it. The procedures are pretty straightforward. However, when they logout the session and then try to start a new one they will see qtile is not an option. This is due to the fact qtile does not create a .desktop file in xsession. I would like to ask the developer to add this info in the webpage so that new qtile users (specially those who don't have much experience) don't need to try to figure out that by themselves.
It would be something like this: "After installing qtile it is necessary to create a qtile.desktop file in order to qtile appear in the login screen as an option. For that, use a text editor and paste the lines below and save the file anywhere [Desktop Entry] 2 Name=Qtile 3 Comment=Qtile Session 4 Exec=qtile start 5 Type=Application 6 Keywords=tiling;wm Change the owner to root sudo chown root:root Move the file sudo mv <file-location>/qtile.desktop /usr/share/xsessions Now you can logout/restart the system" Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qtile-dev" group.
