I'm running Ubuntu 18.04, and want to try the Awesome window manager. I installed it with sudo apt install awesome. How can I switch between GNOME and Awesome?
I found this answer, but I can't see how to "log out, choose the one you want, and log back in." under GNOME.
What is the recommended way to automatically mount usb drives, optical media, hard drives, etc... with a tiling window manager on Ubuntu?
I am a big fan of tiling window managers, but I always look like a damn fool whenever someone walks up to me with a usb key and I furiously start typing commands to create the mountpoint, figure out the name of the device in /dev, mount, etc....
I am currently using i3, but since this is a bigger issue for me than the differences between awesome/i3/dwm...
I am using Awesome Window Manager
How can I permanently add private keys with password?
Inspired by the answer here I have added the private keys in ~/.ssh/config
Contents of ~/.ssh/config:
IdentityFile 'private key full path'
Permissions of ~/.ssh/config: 0700
But it doesn't work for me.
If I manually add the key in every session, it works but I'm looking for a more elegant way (not in .bashrc)
EDIT:
After adding the SSH key with ssh-copy-if to the remote host, I get the following prompt in terminal (GNOME Terminal 3.0.1) when I'm logging in:
ssh -i .ssh/Password-Protected-Key user@host
Enter passphrase for key '.ssh/Password-Protected-Key':
gnome-keyring-dameon so I killed the other pid and run gnome-keyring-daemon --start | grep SOCK (I also added it in .profile) the (grep) output:SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-2LXXXX/ssh
I followed the exact same steps and likewise I haven't got any GUI ssh-add dialog.
EDIT 2:
I created a new password protected key from Ubuntu 11.10 virtual machine on unity and I still can't get any password prompt.
EDIT 3: It seems that this cannot work in Awesome window manager :( and possibly other..
How do I use Awesome WM with Ubuntu 12.04? How do I invoke Awesome instead of Unity? Any dangers to trying to install it - in other words can I mess up my graphical shell?
No matter what I use, e.g. gtk-ctheme, and the other apps availible in the repos, gtk applications running under Awesome WM stay ugly.
The same apps look fine when I use unity.
Any thoughts?
