I’ve looked everyhwere. Where’s the mako config file?

Maki and Mako are the pals of Tako who lives right next to Bako.

Please read how to post in a forum, if you cannot use google.

Hi @brnartg,

As far as I can tell, if I’ve got the correct thing here, according to

https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man5/mako.5.html

The config file is located at ~/.config/mako/config or at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mako/config.

Sorry, should have been more specific. That folder does not exist in the system, but there is a configuration loading at boot.

5

Have you tried makoctl command ?

6

That means it uses default settings that you can override in that file as specified in the link:

Option lines can be specified to configure mako like so:

key=value

Empty lines and lines that begin with # are ignored.

It worked! Thank you very much.

Just to confirm, there’s no mako default config file, you have to create one.
