Hi, I have just installed Awesome WM, copied the rc.lua and according to Awesome wiki page put the text in rc.lua but when I restar the Awesome unfortunatelly I get error message:
/home/archie/.config/awesome/rc.lua:93: attempt to index global 'right_layout' (a nil value)
It is said to put the text before wibox definition, am I right that it is the part begginning with --{{{ Wibox --Create a textclock widget?
I am also confused about index part, on the awesome page is said:
You have to set the current index to your default layout in order to be consistent with your system configuration.
Does this means I sould change the two lines
kbdcfg.layout = { { "us", "" }, { "de", "" } }
kbdcfg.current = 1 -- us is our default layout?
And how? In the console before logging in I have layout which is swithed to by command loadkeys cz-qwertz. Could the two lined look like
kbdcfg.layout = { { "us", "" }, { "cz", "" } }
kbdcfg.current = 2 -- cz is our default layoutWhat sould I do to get rid of the error?
I'm using Arch in VirtualBox does it matter in this case? Awesome in version 3.5.5.
Thanks a lot for your help.

You can put the -- Keyboard map indicator and changer and -- Mouse bindings sections just above the -- Create a wibox for each screen and add it line/paragraph.
However the
-- Add widget to your layout
right_layout:add(kbdcfg.widget)needs to be a little further down somewhere between
local right_layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal()and
local layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal()Because right_layout is local to that for s = 1, screen.count() do-loop (that's the error message).
This is a snippet from my rc.lua which works fine:
-- Keyboard map indicator and changer
kbdcfg = {}
kbdcfg.cmd = "setxkbmap"
kbdcfg.layout = { { "us", "" }, { "de", "" } }
kbdcfg.current = 2 -- de is our default layout
kbdcfg.widget = wibox.widget.textbox()
kbdcfg.widget:set_text(" " .. kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current][1] .. " ")
kbdcfg.switch = function ()
kbdcfg.current = kbdcfg.current % #(kbdcfg.layout) + 1
local t = kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current]
kbdcfg.widget:set_text(" " .. t[1] .. " ")
os.execute( kbdcfg.cmd .. " " .. t[1] .. " " .. t[2] )
end
-- Mouse bindings
kbdcfg.widget:buttons(
awful.util.table.join(awful.button({ }, 1, function () kbdcfg.switch() end))

awful.button({ modkey }, 3, awful.client.toggletag),
awful.button({ }, 4, function(t) awful.tag.viewnext(awful.tag.getscreen(t)) end),
awful.button({ }, 5, function(t) awful.tag.viewprev(awful.tag.getscreen(t)) end)
)
mytasklist = {}
mytasklist.buttons = awful.util.table.join(
awful.button({ }, 1,
function (c)
if c == client.focus then
c.minimized = true
else
-- Without this, the following
-- :isvisible() makes no sense
c.minimized = false
if not c:isvisible() then
awful.tag.viewonly(c:tags()[1])
end
-- This will also un-minimize
-- the client, if needed
client.focus = c
c:raise()
end
end
),
awful.button({ }, 3,
function ()
if instance then
instance:hide()

Don't know if "cz" instead of "cz-qwertz" is sufficient.

Thanks a lot, everything works fine, cz is enough.
