After just testing out awesome3 for awhile I decided to go for it and install it, and so far I really love it, just a couple question
I made a pretty standard ~/.awesomerc, except a few keys that I tried adding such as a key to execute firefox when Mod4+f was pressed. When I do this, nothing happens. I know I have a mod4 key. Why doesn't it work when I press the combination?
Also, I tried setting up an awesome menu using the wiki, (just the basic one..to test out) but when I execute the key combination...again nothing happens.
I don't really like executing my apps from the terminal, so can you guys help me fix this?
Thank you :]

Which awesome 3 are you using? The git version just changed how keybindings work... may want to check out the /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua file for the syntax
Offline
I am using the stardard Awesome...not git.

Can you paste the line you're using to bind firefox?
Offline
try dmenu. also, feel free to check out my configs (assuming you're using the version of Awesome that's in community) here
Is there something special I need for the volume widget to work? Nothing starts unless I remove it from rc.lua.

If you don't mind that'd be cool, if not I'll try and find it. Also, thanks for your configs.

key
{
modkey= {"Mod4"}
key = "f"
command = "spawn"
arg = "exec firefox"
}
Also another thing, I tried borrowring Ghosts rc.lua...and I noticed the change of the workspace names, like "www" "mail "im" stuff like that...but I'm still stuck with the default 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 despite changing the rc.lua

Post your rc.lua, that would help.
Oh and the code you posted is for awesome 2.x. Won't work in a lua environment.

also, my widgets don't work D:
The awesome wiki on the awesome website really isn't proving to be much help

Installed Awesome 2 days ago and lovin' it. I cheat a bit by launching gnome-settings-daemon and using gnome-appearance-settings from time to time, but nonetheless - this rocks. I also use it with Nautilus from time to time. Sheer coolness. I wonder when the next version will be available in the repos. I managed to compile a new one, but I prefer to use the repos (cleaner).

You could replace gnome-appearance-settings with lxappearance if you want to get rid of the gnome dependancies but still need a graphical settings tool... as for nautilus, try pcmanfm or thunar.

Ok I did a reinstall with aweosme-git and wicked-git this time.
I'm using the following awesomerc.lua:
http://rafb.net/p/2SRilu78.html
Everything works good except a few small things.
1. The tags I set display, but instead of
main www dev chat multimedia graphics
I get
main www dev chat multimedia graphics 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Also I get some notifications in the panel saying stuff like
/usr/share/awful/widget.lua:423: attempt to index local 'img_release' (a nil value)
so I still have no widgets

However, the awesomerc.lua above does not require() wicked.
I just find this section in the Wiki today:

right well...this conf was working for Rydgel...I saw it referenced by him in the feb 2009 screenshot thread in the artwork & screenshots forum.
I don't understand why it won't work for me.

You're missing my custom images. Might want to edit the themefile

Okay I'm using your images from the images folder in your config, but I'm still getting the same errors.
This time the notification tells me.
/home/tristan/.config/awesome/awesomerc.lua:199: attempt to call global 'net_info' (a nil value)

I stopped using that widget, so my functions.lua file no longer contains that function. Use an earlier revision of it. :]

aha!
all works well now :]
thanks very much gigamo
