a) I want the Menu key in the keyboard to be a mod key and thus mapped it
to Super_R using a line in my rc.lua
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("xmodmap -e 'keycode 135 = Super_R'")
I know I can do this giving it in login scripts etc but want this mapping
only under awesome and not under the standard gnome environment.This does not work the first time around when we log into Awesome. Restarting the WM enables this mapping. How do I get this working without the restart? b) I downloaded xfce4-power-manager. When I run it under awesome, I do not get the systray icon. I want the systray icon. Any pointers as to how this can be solved? c) Laurent's mail talks about volumeicon for sound. Where do I source this or get sound volume control in my systray? d) Bluetooth-applet does not get installed by default in Saucy. When invoked it says install gnome-bluetooth package. I looked up the package contents and bluetooth-applet is not listed in there. Any help on how to get the bluetooth icon on the systray. -- Mohan Sundaram On Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 8:16 PM, Laurent De Buyst < [email protected]> wrote: > Why do you need to use these new services? > > I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 and I just kept on running nm-applet and > xfce4-power-manager and volumeicon and they just appear in my awesome > systray as usual... > > > > *Mohan Sundaram <[email protected] <[email protected]>>* > > 2013-11-22 15:38 > Aan > [email protected], > Cc > Onderwerp > Ubuntu 13.10 and awesome > > > > > Awesome lives up to its name and have been using it for about 8 months > on Ubuntu 12.10.
