I am trying to switch from gnome-shell
to awesome
on fedora 28
.
The problem I have is that when I try sudo awesome -r
it tells me that another window manager is already running. So I have tried killall gnome-shell && awesome &
but then the screen turns black and there are usually some ^@
symbols all over the screen. At this point I do not know what went wrong and all I am able to do is reboot.
I would be glad if someone could explain to me what I did wrong and what I have to do to activate awesome
.
