awesome3 and flash player

p1mps · 2010-03-29 09:23:51

Hello to all,

I have a big problem with flash player. I can't get the full screen with movies on my awesome3, do you think is a problem with my rc.lua? Anyone has the same problem?

Thank you

First read this: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/FAQ#Ho … tifiers.3F

Then setup your client rules like this:

-- If you want to send Firefox to specific tag fill in
-- the class and instance and uncomment
--{ rule = { class = "Class", instance = "Instance" },
--  properties = { tag = tags[1][1] } },

-- Fullscreen flash usually has instance "firefox-bin"
-- but double-check with instructions I linked to
{ rule = { instance = "firefox-bin" },
  properties = { floating = true } },

Did that solve your problem? I never wrote something like that in my rc.lua and flash/firefox works perfectly (no, firefox is not floating).

Please be more concise in what is not working, what version of firefox, flash and awesome you are using.

Yes, and?

This happened to him because he already had a rule matching Firefox, most likely he applied the tag property. When the flash window was opened the rule matched that window too, and moved it to the specified tag (as a side effect it lost its floating property). I showed him one solution which allows both.

I succeded to make firefox (and google-chrome) to be floated. I can't get flash player to be full screen anyway . The only rules i used in my rc.lua for firefox is that one: { match = { "Google*" } , tag ="www"}

that use shifty library to tag google-chrome on "www" tag. Any suggestions?

My awesome: awesome v3.4.4 (Jet Sex)
â¢ Build: Mar 9 2010 09:28:29 for x86_64 by gcc version 4.4.3 (nobody@Miranda)
â¢ D-Bus support: â

My google-chrome: 5.0.342.7 beta

Maybe have I to reinstall flashplayer? Which pkgbuild do you suggest? I have x86_64 arch.

Thanks
Regards

Anyone could help me?

Stop using shifty. Use normal awful.rules. Does it still happen? Determine flash window properties with xprop like I told you. Explicitly enable floating for instances of flash window. Does it still happen? Enable shifty, figure out how to do the same thing.

I'm a noob sorry

The problem was that i was using both shifty and awful rules so maybe they're were conflicting. Thank you for the advices.
