Re: vicious suggestions
There is a feature I want developed yes, let me explain myself better: For every device and partition in dio.lua, we have these: ~~ local read = (stats[1] - last_stats[1]) / interval local write = (stats[2] - last_stats[2]) / interval helpers.uformat(disk_usage, device.. read, read, unit) helpers.uformat(disk_usage, device.. write, write, unit) helpers.uformat(disk_usage, device.. total, read + write, unit) ~~ Thus, total is the read+write speed at a given interval of time. What I'd like to have implemented is the accumulated count, e.g. adding the following three lines: ~~ helpers.uformat(disk_usage, device.. acc_read, stats[1], unit) helpers.uformat(disk_usage, device.. acc_write, stats[2], unit) helpers.uformat(disk_usage, device.. acc_total, stats[1]+stats[2], unit) ~~ I think this practical explanation does a way better job than I did at expaining myself :) Regards.

vicious suggestions
Hello everyone! Upon poking around with some vicious widgets, I stumbled upon a small feature I'd like to have. I could easily use my own modified version of the widget itself, but I thought sharing the idea with you would be a good idea before doing that. dio.lua takes data from /proc/diskstats. AFAIK that file contains total read and write counts, thus why we are using the differential. Makes sense. What about providing a total read/write count for the widget as well, more or less like net.lua does? For instance, for net.lua we have tx and rx, and then we work out up and down from these values. In dio.lua, we could do the same before working out read and write. (Just as well, is total necessary? It can be easily obtained from the other two values in rc.lua) Regards. -- Daniel Martí - mv...@mvdan.cc - GPG 0x58BF72C3 pgpWWx0MAmhzF.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: vicious suggestions
I want the total written and read count values, not the read+write speed total value. The former is what I implemented myself, and the latter is what I see as rather unnecessary.

Awful rule classification
Dear awesome community, I use the awful.rules.rules method to classify my apps and give them properties, such as tags o focus.

Hey guys!
I'm very happy with the vicious scripts, especially the dio one (disk
input/output). I configured the udev rules to automount usb devices and
show
up a notification via naughty, and it works.
Now, i'd like the same script (that uses awesome-client and naughty,
called
by udevd) to create and show a dio widget alongside the constant
/dev/sda
one, showing up I/O stats for the newly
mounted device.
I have two ideas, but both got me stuck.
-- use one iowidget holding sda i/o at boot and add the new device's
stats
at the end of it. Is that possible?
-- create a brand new widget for every newly mounted device. This seems
easier to set up, but my experience with awesome is very small
(~3months)
and i don't know how to make the new widget show up in a wibox that has
already been assigned some widgets.
Thank you so much for reading and for your help.

Re: Create widget with awesome-client
I hadn't thought about re-writing dio. I'll try it on my own first, and if I need any assistance I'll come back. Thanks! Jörg Thalheim jthalh...@gmail.com wrote: My first rewrite of dio included the feature, to sum up the disk i/o of every avaible disk to total numbers. Is this what you want? (I still have the code avaible) Or do you want to see every disk separately? In this case, you could use a format function to guess the new disks. Choose between this options and we can find a solution. 2011/9/6 Daniel Martí danielmarti.deb...@gmail.com: Hey guys!

Re: [off-topic] A good terminal emulator for tiling WMs?
If urxvt a.k.a. rxvt-unicide is that good, it should have some option to suit our needs. Has any of you tried lxterminal yet? I've been using it because it is basic and does all I need. It might not have that problem.

I think this is a pretty big deal for tiling window managers users, so I think most of you must have a good solution, hence, I'm asking here. Well, the problem with xterm (my terminal of choice) is that when its size shrinks it loses all the info outside its boundaries, so if you expand it again, there will be a lot of empty space and all the info there will be gone. Urxvt does indeed keep the info, but it does so (as far as I could find) by breaking the lines and redrawing itself accordingly, making it all look rambled (IMHO). Some other terminals, like sakura, do keep the info and do not ramble everything, but I couldn't find a way to scroll horizontaly. So, considering all this, what terminal emulator do you recommend? Did I miss any feature in one of those that I mentioned? Hello, I had similar problems with xterm, gave up and moved to urxvt, it has the issue you described but it's fine for me until i find a better solution. AFAIR, eterm is the one that worked fine when i did some tests, i just didn't move to it because i'm using url-select plugin for urxvt and it is really useful for me. I'm still looking for a better terminal that have a similar feature. Try eterm and let us know if it is an option for you.
