Awesome 3.3-1

Did a system update last night, but ended up downgrading awesome due to problems, has anyone else got it going?

Re: Awesome 3.3-1

Define problems?
Have you tried with a clean config, I think the config has changed again since last version so you may have something in there which is incompatible?
btw works fine here on x86_64 from basic testing.

Re: Awesome 3.3-1

Only theme syntax was completely changed and some small things in wibox on my config. Took only few minutes to get my old config working. That's from awesome 3.3pre... version that was last version on arch repos. If you haven't updated awesome since 3.2, changes are bigger.

Re: Awesome 3.3-1

Yeah I was upgrading from 3.3pre- as well. I tried the default config and theme. The problem is the startup programs in .xinitrc disappear when awesome fully loads, as though they're loaded into a tag or screen that I don't have.

Re: Awesome 3.3-1

I tested opening firefox, urxvtc and thunar from xinitrc and only first one(firefox) was managed by awesome. Starting apps from awesome config works, but then everytime you restart awesome, all of those apps starts second time.

Re: Awesome 3.3-1

And they appear in a random order if you use the awesome config, whereas in xinitrc you can use sleep commands to make sure one program loads before executing others.

Not sure what you mean by "managed" but that would explain why only firefox worked. I've fixed this problem in past versions by forcing urxvt to always go in tag 1 screen 1 but that didn't work in 3.3-1.

Re: Awesome 3.3-1

I just had an idea, you could execute bash script from awesome config. Then you could use sleep and other bash scripting.
Like this:
awful.util.spawn("bash autostart.sh")

And about that apps starting again, you could make some kind of function that saves pid of awesome at start in to file and checks if it has changed and if it has not been changed then it would'nt run autostart.sh again... or something like that.

Re: Awesome 3.3-1

Hmmm ok I'll try that in the morning, had a few beers and can't think straight right now. I think from memory on the awesome wiki there's a thing about running apps once only.

Re: Awesome 3.3-1

for autostart you could use this lua code. 

local progs = {"thunderbird", "wicd-client", "firefox", "pidgin"}
local i
for i = 1,#progs do
    os.execute("ps -A | grep " .. progs[i] .. ">/dev/null; if [ $? = 1 ]; then " .. progs[i] .. " & fi")
end

Just add your favourite programs to the progs variable. It starts the programs only if needed. Works fine here.

btw, I just got a Segmentation Fault here:

Jun  7 00:04:03 xi2550 kernel: awesome[6964]: segfault at 0 ip 000000000041170d sp 00007fff23007d70 error 4 in awesome[400000+48000]

Just typed something in emacs, nothing special. Has anyone similar problems. I use awesome 3.3-1 (x86_64).

Re: Awesome 3.3-1

damoppi, that works great if you only run one copy of each program, normally I have a few copies of urxvt open and ideally i'd start with 3. Still it mostly works, thanks
