[SOLVED] Awesome3 Config

I must be an all out idiot here, but I cannot figure out what's going on with my rc.lua.

Right out of the box, fresh, if I add 1 single menu item to the rightclick menu it reverts back to the default config.  It's like any
change I make breaks awesome.  I can't seem to make any changes.  I've made sure the syntax is correct with "awesome -k".

Is there a trick I am missing here?

Thanks in advance.

don't google it, "archwiki it"..

an example from my rc.lua

myofficemenu = {
   { "OpenOffice", "soffice" },
   { "Base", "soffice -base" },
   { "Calc", "soffice -calc" },
   { "Draw", "soffice -draw" },
   { "Impress", "soffice -impress" },
   { "Math", "soffice -math" },
   { "Writer", "soffice -writer" },
   { "Printer", "spadmin" }
}

if you see, between them there is a comma

Re: [SOLVED] Awesome3 Config

Thanks for the response.  Yeah I've wiki'd the heck out of it.   Mine looks exactly like that minus the actual items.

If I load the default config, I can change like my default terminal, etc...  Restart Awesome, and it's fine.  editor comes up, etc...  If I try to add anything
to the menu system it breaks.  I lose ALL my changes, even my default terminal change.

I tried a ton of things before I posted.  Maybe I'll just re-install it.

Post your rc.lua including the menu changes and maybe we can see whats wrong.

I've reloaded and started from scratch here again.  Took a step back and seem to be getting somewhere now.   

Thanks for the responses.
