[SOLVED]AwesomeWM loads to a grey screen
All that I have done.
# pacman -S awesomeAwesome automatically is in my sessions for GDM.
It loaded the first time, so I followed the wiki and cp'd the file in /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua ~/.config/awesome
That worked, I then changed the theme in /usr/share/awesome/themes/default/theme.lua to zenburn/theme.lua
Restarted AwesomeWM via
MODKEY+Ctrl+RRestarted, and a grey screen showed. Now whenever I run Awesome it just loads to a grey screen. I can see the mouse and move it, but no panel shows up or wallpaper. I tried uninstalling via
pacman -R awesomeand trying again 3 times and that hasn't fixed it. The awesome version was 3.5.5 Kansas.

This doesn't help. No bar appears, or wallpaper, nor does the menu when I right click. It's as if it was frozen.

It doesn't help because you are not following the instructions...
Moving to NC.

How am I supposed to do anything when NOTHING loads. I know how to setup the wallpaper. Basically, when AwesomeWM loads, it FREEZES.

Re: [SOLVED]AwesomeWM loads to a grey screen
Remove your rc.lua from your ~/.config and copy the original one back. I guess you messed up your rc.lua somwhere.

Yep, forgot to mark SOLVED. This did the trick.
