• Vertical dock on elementaryOS 8

  Sander @ Tuesday at 9:26 am

  I prefer my dock on the left side of the screen and the new elementaryOS 8 Wayland compatible dock's design is to explicitly not support that. This is because the dock is visible in the workspace switcher and allows the user to drag windows to other workspaces using the dock.

  If you're happy to lose that functionality and are using the Classic login session then you can reinstate Plank as follows:

  Disable the Elementary Dock (Correct Way)

  Create a user override:

  cp /etc/xdg/io.elementary.desktop.wm.shell ~/.config/

  Edit the file:

  nano ~/.config/io.elementary.desktop.wm.shell

  Remove or comment out the dock block:

  [io.elementary.dock]
  launch-on-x=true
  args=io.elementary.dock

  Log out and log back in.

  Result: the elementary dock is never started and does not respawn.

  Start Plank

  Use standard XDG autostart. File: ~/.config/autostart/plank.desktop

  [Desktop Entry]
  Type=Application
  Name=Plank
  Exec=plank
  OnlyShowIn=Pantheon;
  X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

  (Optional) Add a small delay if you ever see geometry issues:

  Exec=sh -c "sleep 2 && plank"

  Verification

  pgrep -a io.elementary.dock   # should produce no output
  pgrep -a plank               # should be running

• Workaround for when poetry cannot find pyenv managed python

  Sander @ June 16, 2023 at 11:23 am

  I use pyenv to manage python versions for my projects, and use poetry to manage project dependencies. Poetry was unable to find the latest python version, and insisted on creating virtual envs with system python.

  Setting poetry config virtualenvs.prefer-active-python true did not work for me, and neither did poetry env use whatever-version:

  $ poetry env use 3.11
  Could not find the python executable python3.11

  However pyenv can list the the full path to the currently active python, which can be used as a parameter to poetry, so the following worked:

  $ poetry env use $(pyenv which python)
  $ poetry install; poetry run python --version

  Update: double check that pyenv is configuring the shell correctly -- $HOME/.pyenv/shims should be in your PATH variable, and your shell runtime configuration file (such as .bashrc / .zshrc) should contain eval "$(pyenv init -)"

  Hope this helps!

• Map Eject to Multitasking View

  Sander @ April 4, 2023 at 1:55 pm

  So I use ElementaryOS and in version 7 you are no longer able to map just the Eject key. I like to map this to the Multitasking View (something like the macOS Expose).

  The solution is to use the DConf Editor application and search for show-desktop. ElementaryOS repurposes the show desktop to the multitasking view. Simply set the value to ['Eject']

  Alternatively you can set the left-super key (windows/command) to the Multitasking View. This seems better supported.
