[Solved] Awesome 3.4.6 crashes after loading

Hi people, I upgraded recently to Awesome 3.4.6 but when I log in (GDM 2.32.0) it crashes and restarts X.org and GDM. I didn't find anything on the awesome wiki saying that 3.4.6 configuration differs from previous versions. This is my rc.lua config .

Any ideas?

Re: [Solved] Awesome 3.4.6 crashes after loading

actually the problem is not with awesome configs, it's with recent cairo version (xcb is disabled) & awesome 3.4.8 is available in aur.

so either install awesome from aur with cairo-xcb or install awesome from aur & rebuild cairo from abs with --enable-xcb option.. (i'm using the latter)

hope that helps smile

Thanks vik_k smile Upgraded to Awesome 3.4.8 and cairo-xcb from AUR and everything works fine again. No configuration syntax changes either. Thanks again.
