I have been talking with Uli on IRC about this error, and this is what I have found: There is something wrong with the fit function on line 83 of fixed.lua.
After changing the fixed:fit(...) to look like: function fixed:fit(orig_width, orig_height) local width, height = orig_width, orig_height local used_in_dir, used_max = 0, 0 io.stderr:write("Fixed:fit Outer Width: " .. width .. "\n") for k, v in pairs(self.widgets) do io.stderr:write("Fixed:fit Inner Width: " .. width .. "\n") local w, h = base.fit_widget(v, width, height) local in_dir, max if self.dir == "y" then max, in_dir = w, h height = height - in_dir else in_dir, max = w, h width = width - in_dir end if max > used_max then used_max = max end used_in_dir = used_in_dir + in_dir io.stderr:write("Break?\n") if width <= 0 or height <= 0 then if self.dir == "y" then used_in_dir = orig_height else used_in_dir = orig_width end io. stderr:write" Break.\n" break end end if self.dir == "y" then return used_max, used_in_dir end return used_in_dir, used_max end a sample of my output looks like: Fixed:fit Inner Width: 43 Break? Fixed:fit Inner Width: 24 Break? Break? Fixed:fit Inner Width: 5 Fixed:fit Outer Width: 5 Fixed:fit Inner Width: 5 Break? Break. Break? Break. Fixed:fit Outer Width: 0 Fixed:fit Inner Width: 0 Break? Fixed:fit Inner Width: -nan Error while drawing widget: /usr/local/share/awesome/lib/wibox/layout/base.lua:39: table index is NaN As you can see, the condition should be true as inner width is 0, but you never get the "Break." -- John C.
