wicked / awesome 3 confiug problem

axion419 · 2008-07-13 01:54:42

I am trying to make a second status bar, and when I try and load the config it just loads the default awesomerc.lua and doesnt give me any errors, yet it definitly isnt using the config I wrote. Any help would be appreciated.

I know I am probably messing up how to properly add the widgets, or I do not have thigns in the right place.

that should work

When they added lua support, I think it actually made the awesome code size slightly smaller. BUT, it still doesnt work :) here is my whole config. When I try and run it, I just get the default .awesomerc.lua

First of all, non sequitur, CLIPS doesn't follow from lua integration
Secondly, please explain why lua makes it worse, I have been using the git version with lua from the day it was added, and I see nothing but good things coming from the step to lua, we can have widgets in lua instead of using bash scripts or external programs, we can have dynamic tagging, behaviours specifically decided by a situation, keychains, the customisability is endless.
I see no reason why making it more powerful is a bad thing, as long as it doesn't add uneccessary bloat, which it doesn't, the version with lua is perhaps faster than the previous versions even.
Awesome was never the dwm type of minimal window manager, if there's a feature that makes a significant improvement, it will be added.

I think the old config format made more sense. Also, the way widgets work in 2.3 (separate process talking to a socket) is much more UNIX-way. What if I want my widgets to be written in Python? Bash? This version forcedly makes you hack it in Lua. It's ugly. Awesome was the only tiling wm I liked, for not having those stupid non-sense. Now I know I'm not going to use 3.

Just to share my opinion, but like dolby, I'm kind of OT here

Hey dont diss CLISP wm's

Wicked allows you to write widgets in python, or bash or whatever. It doesn't need any ugly hacks. I was very sceptical of the lua config when it came out, but after using it for a few weeks it definitely makes a lot more sense. Try it before you diss it.

You have the last bit completely screwed up, first of all, you're ending the loop twice, and secondly, you're using screen.count() instead of s

-- Create a statusbar for each screen and add it
mystatusbar = {}
for s = 1, screen.count() do
    mystatusbar[s] = statusbar.new({ position = "top", name = "mystatusbar" .. s,
                                   fg = fg_normal, bg = bg_normal })
    wickedstatusbar[s] = statusbar.new({ position = "bottom", name = "wickedstatusbar" .. s, fg = fg_normal, bg = bg_normal })

    -- Add widgets to the statusbar - order matters

    mystatusbar[s]:widget_add(mytasklist)

    wickedstatusbar[s]:widget_add(cpugraphwidget)
    wickedstatusbar[s]:widget_add(mysystray)
    wickedstatusbar[s]:add(s)
end

that should work

You're forgetting to initialize the second status bar.

under

mystatusbar = {}

add

 wickedstatusbar = {}

I tried what you posted, still doesnt work, just loads the default config. I also tried one of the configs (glacial? sp?) from awesome's wiki, it included eminent, so I installed that as well and It still just loads the default config. I want to get the output of the error, and when i try 'startx > ~/.awesomeerror I just get a blank file. Any other ways of catching the error I am getting? If I could see what it didnt like, It would help me correct it. Thanks.

startx 2> ~/.awesomeerror

edit: although, you should be able to kill x (ctrl alt backspace) and see the error listed there too
