A. Quit in awesome gnome-session:
I installed awesome from the Ubuntu repositories and made the entries in
desktop files as recommended by the wiki. Awesome worked except for quit.
awesome.quit does not work for a gnome session. I had to modify the rc.lua
file to execute "gnome-session-quit --no-prompt --force" to make quit work.
Can those with accounts on the wiki include this in the wiki please?
B. Battery widget in Awesome using bashets:
I've been trying bashets. I created a textbox widget and a script for
battery health/status. The output of the script looks as under
<span color=#859900>46%</span> <span color=#859900>▲</span>
rc.lua file entry.
*-- Create a battery widgetmybatt =
wibox.widget.textbox()bashets.register("battery.sh", {widget="mybatt",
format="$1", update_time=300, separator="|"})*
* -- Widgets that are aligned to the right local right_layout =
wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal() if s == 1 then
right_layout:add(wibox.widget.systray()) end
right_layout:add(mybatt) right_layout:add(mytextclock)
right_layout:add(mylayoutbox[s])*
I was not able to figure out why the bashets register was crashing when I
ahd followed the wiki. Turns out widget name should be given in quotes
while wiki uses unquoted names.
I added the widget to the right_layout. I do not see the widget still. I
know the script is getting executed as I write to a log file for debugging
and that shows execution with output being correct. I tried quoting the
widget name in the add and awesome crashed on restart.
Any pointers please?
