libxcb-keysyms and awesome issues

zyon · 2009-04-17 09:51:27

Hallo,

I was uploading my system last night (pacman -Syu) after reboot awesome doesn't start because libxcb-keysyms.so.0 doesn't exist. I think that is a problem with upload form "xcb-util 0.3.4-1". Now, I have libxcb- libxcb-keysyms.so.0, libxcb-keysyms.so.1.0.0 and libxcb-keysyms.so in /usr/lib/ directory. With a Symbol-link form /usr/lib/keysyms.so.1 to /usr/lib/keysyms.so.0. Awesome 3.2 starts but my keybindings don't work.

Bug report? Anyone can help?`... sorry for my poor English skills.

I'm having the exact same problem

EDIT: Reverted xcb-util to 0.3.3-1 and startup-notification to 0.9. Works ok.

I solved the problem by installing libxdg-basedir from AUR and re-compiling awesome-git, wicked-git, eminent-git, amazing-git.

Keybindings work fine, awesome starts now.

Hope that helps,

I've tried this too, but no success.

I'm not sure about installing the git version...is it as stable as the "normal" version?

Works fine on my laptop, my PC however is still having the same issues it turns out...give it a shot, you can always revert back if it fails.

As you said, I tried to give the git version a shot but I can't build it:

I wonder why it complains about a missing libxdg-basedir because I already installed it.

/edit: I checked the version I received from AUR and it is 0.3.0-1 and not 1.0.0 as expected. How should I fix this?

I get exactly same error massage.

Should install the 1.0.0 package (just changed the release version and md5sum, I haven't tested it yet though). Just copy it to a file called PKGBUILD, cd to the directory and run

makepkg -csi

How you downgrade your xcb-util and startup-notification? lswest solution doesn't work for me. Awesome starts fine but Mod4-keys don't work.

EDIT: Ok, I downgrade success, awesome works fine now, but this problem sucks.

Gosh! I was thinking that rebuilding awesome's going to work...but only downgrading worked in the end.

r6 · 2009-04-20 13:44:49

Downgraded... hope it's fixed soon.

Hi,

I installed awesome-git and it works now. Since this is my first test I don't know if a new problem i encountered now is related to this topic:
When the numpad is enabled, my Win-Key doesn't work anymore so that I can't do anything with awesome until I deactivated the numpad.

Kind regards

Thomas

P.S.: Is there a way to set a shortcut in rc.lua that doesn't use "modkey" (e.g. only Alt+F2)?

Sure, replace modkey with "Alt" in the keybinding.

key({ modkey }, "F2", function () awful.util.spawn("xscreensaver-command -lock") end)

should read

key({ "Alt" }, "F2", function () awful.util.spawn("xscreensaver-command -lock") end)

or else assign the modkey to mod1 (alt key, I think) for a quick fix if you are willing to use the alt key instead of the super key.

Also, I have num lock enabled...I'll check to see if disabling it fixes awesome later, thanks for the tip.

The git version works, and all its deps are in the repo or aur at the correct version. When the dev version of awesome hits the repos, you can go back.

Sorry for off-topic (and that in the 3rd thread about this issue ;b )

key({ modkey,        }, "F2",    function () awful.util.spawn("gmrun")     end),

works, but not

key({ "Alt",        }, "F2",    function () awful.util.spawn("gmrun")     end),

I also tried to delete the comma.

lswest · 2009-04-21 05:42:48

Hmm, could you try it with { , "Alt" }? Otherwise, have a look here: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/index. … tion_Files and see if there's a config that uses alt for keybindings. Also, you could try putting Mod1 in there instead of Alt.

Just experiment a little?

Hope that helps,
Lswest

Hi,

With latest updates I can launch awesome but keybindings and mousebindings don't work, not yet.

Waiting for,

dodobas · 2009-04-21 07:05:15

downgraded to xcb-util-3.3.1 and startup-notification-0.9-1, im keeping awesome-3.1.2-1

UPDATE: notification-daemon depends on libwnck, so I had to downgrade to libwnck-2.24.2-1 to make it work

I think you can rebuild the startup-notification (which also depends on xcb-util), and install it again. On the other hand, make sure to install the latest libxdg-basedir and awesome.

trizolakai · 2009-04-21 16:38:27

Hi,

With last update I saw a difference between /etc/xdm/awesome/rc.lua and ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua with keybindings.
So I fix my rc.lua, and it's ok !

Thanks,
