[solved] awesome and openoffice

Barghest · 2009-04-28 17:07:35

Hi,

someone else got the problem that openoffice kills awesome?

When I run soffice in awesome-git it shows the splashscreen and in the next moment I'm back in vc/1. When I start awesome again, I don't even see the splash screen. OO refuses to start and on the terminal there's no output.

Kind regards

barghest

Hmm, probably having same issue as you.
I can open swriter but as soon as I type 1 character intoa document, X crashes with a stack trace.
I'm about to file a bug on http://awesome.naquadah.org/bugs

It's working ok for me but i'm not using the git version

Thanks,

I installed the latest git version (Apr 30 2009) and it works now.

This is my first git version of a program I use and I installed it from AUR. I now set the release in the PKGBUILD manually from 20090420 to 20090430 after looking what's the latest version on the git web site. Is this the correct way of or is there a more comfortable one?

You don't need to edit the version in the PKGBUILD. It will always get the latest version and that will appear as the version in the created package anyways.

Thanks Ranguvar,

I have a another question - hopefully the last for a couple of days

I have a tag defined as floating. Whenever I start an app on this tag it is correctly set into floating mode but it is opened in the upper left corner and thus overlapping the status bar. I then have to move the window manually around using mod4+left mouse button. Is there a way to edit the position on that a window opens? And is it possible to move windows around only using the keyboard (like in openbox)?

I hope some people read this, otherwise I create a new thread for this new question ;b

In your manage hook, consider using either or both of these:

    -- New floating windows don't cover the wibox and
    --awful.placement.no_offscreen(c)
    -- don't overlap until it's unavoidable
    --awful.placement.no_overlap(c)

By this you of cours refer to floating clients? You can use moveresize for that, example bindings for your clientkeys:

    -- Mod + PgUp/PgDn for resizing floaters
    awful.key({ modkey }, "Next",  function () awful.client.moveresize(20, 20, -20, -20) end),
    awful.key({ modkey }, "Prior", function () awful.client.moveresize(-20, -20, 20, 20) end),
    -- 
    -- Mod + Arrows for moving floaters
    awful.key({ modkey }, "Down",  function () awful.client.moveresize(0, 20, 0, 0) end),
    awful.key({ modkey }, "Up",    function () awful.client.moveresize(0, -20, 0, 0) end),
    awful.key({ modkey }, "Left",  function () awful.client.moveresize(-20, 0, 0, 0) end),
    awful.key({ modkey }, "Right", function () awful.client.moveresize(20, 0, 0, 0) end),
