[solved] Awesome3 config problem
Hi, I´m new to Awesome3 (3.3_rc4) and I tried to modify a rc.lua from the screenshot thread. Well, I tried to integrate the widget-code from the awesome-wiki, however, I encounter difficulties with the last line of the following code, which crashes awesome all the time:
mailwidget = widget({
type = 'textbox',
name = 'mailwidget'
-- align = 'right',
})
function run_script()
local filedescriptor = io.popen('perl /home/thomas/.scripts/checkMail.pl')
local value = filedescriptor:read()
filedescriptor:close()
return {value}
end
wicked.register(mailwidget, run_script, "$1", 90)
' <span color="#e2baf1">Mail:</span> $1'Another problem affects the position of my widgets in the statusbar. The uncommented "align = 'right'" from the code above crashes awesome too. Don´t know why, because this happens only with two of the widgets. Here is the whole rc.lua:

The uncommented "align = 'right'" from the code above crashes awesome too. Don´t know why, because this happens only with two of the widgets.
You can't just uncomment the line. "name" would no longer be the last element, so you need to add a comma. I've also seen in #awesome that trailing commas are no longer allowed in the 3.3 branch (I still use 3.2.1, so I can't confirm this myself). In any case, it won't hurt to remove the trailing comma.

Re: [solved] Awesome3 config problem
tdy, thank you. The comma thing was the problem. I should have noticed it. However, wicked.register still does not work, but thank you for the hint, dunz0r.

Re: [solved] Awesome3 config problem
This problem is really strange:
archwidget = widget({
type = 'textbox',
name = 'archwidget',
align = 'right'
})
function run_script()
local filedescriptor = io.popen('perl /home/thomas/.scripts/conky-updates.pl')
local value = filedescriptor:read()
filedescriptor:close()
return {value}
end
wicked.register(archwidget, run_script, "$1", 1000,
' <span color="#e2baf1">arch:</span> $1')
-- cpu-widget
cpuwidget = widget({
type = 'textbox',
name = 'cpuwidget',
align = 'right'
})
wicked.register(cpuwidget, wicked.widgets.cpu,
' <span color="#e2baf1">CPU:</span> $1%')The cpuwidget works properly, the archwidget does not show anything. Maybe it does not call the output value of the perl-script...
EDIT: Solved, the correct line is:
wicked.register(archwidget, run_script, '<span color="#e2baf1"> arch:</span> $1', 1000)Last edited by tyr0 (2009-06-01 15:22:21)
