Awesome 4.0 start but after 1 second freezes

AkechiShiro · 2017-01-22 19:17:12

I have awesome 4.0 from pacman installed and I have copycats-theme for awesome 4.X but no matter what theme I try I launch the Xserver with startx and the interface starts up and then freezes, the mouse is movable but the interface doesn't "update" and the keyboard respond only to "crtl+alt+2" which is to change of tty.
I have tried to test with Xephyr I have this output to shut it off I have to press "crtl+d", "crtl+c" doesn't stop Xephyr.
The background image loads up and the widgets then it freezes.

Any help to start awesome 4.0 with one of copycats theme would be appreciated.

Does awesome WM run properly with the default theme?

Did versions of awesome WM before 4.0 work properly? (If you've only ever tried 4.0 then you can ignore this question.)

Please post your "~/.xinitrc" file, and your awesome WM configuration files. (Don't forget to use BBCode "code" tags on the forums when doing so!)

First the VM runs properly with the default theme, it works.

It worked flawlessly before 4.0(3.5.9) with the theme(copycats themes, note also that the theme is also updated for awesome 4.0 before I was using the ones for 3.5.X) I'm trying to currently use.

Finally my "~/.xinitrc"

#!/bin/sh

[ -f /etc/xprofile ] && source /etc/xprofile
[ -f ~/.xprofile ] && source ~/.xprofile

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then

    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then







    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

setxkbmap fr
xset r rate 200 40
exec awesome
# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

Here is my configuration file(rc.lua) :

First the VM runs properly with the default theme, it works.

Oh, ok. If the default awesome WM theme works without a problem, then that should mean awesome WM is fine.

In regards to your "~/.xinitrc" file, it looks a little strange. The "exec" line ("exec awesome") should be (needs to be?) the last line in the file. Please make that change.

Does that resolve any issues?

No it doesn't the freeze still appears, it's like when Awesome charges up a certain thing in the interface it freezes it, I once changed of workspace in awesome with this theme but then something loaded in the widgets bar and it froze awesome that's my hypothesis on the thing it could be another thing that I can't see that loads up.

I have to be fast before that certain thing loads up but I can't find specifically what it is in the whole rc.lua or it could be more than one things in the widget bars but once the widget bar is loaded and on the screen awesome is frozen, only my cursor moves and "crtl+alt+2" can get me out of there if I could have the whole output of awesome in real time that'd may be better.
