Awesome WM is not working (libev.so.3)

Hi
I've been an Awesome user on Arch for about a year now. Awesome has awesome keybindings!
Unfortunately, I get this error from running awesome since this morning:
awesome: error while loading shared libraries: libev.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Does anyone know what causes this in Arch? Maybe it is because awesome is not in the repos anymore ...
For now, I have to stick with openbox, which I do not know mush about.
/R

I had this problem too this morning, to fix it, I rebuilt the latest release (3.4.8-2) from aur:
yaourt -S aur/awesome
Everything works like a charm again

The "Awesome Bar" is not working. It does not recall anything from the Bookmarks

Just updated to new Firefox. In the past, when I would start to type a site in the address bar firefox would complete it as it was already in my bookmarks. But now it does not do anything. It just sits there waiting for me to complete the address. I could start to type Netf and it automatically finish Netflix.com
Why is this happening. Also, for the first couple days of the new version I had to go back into Tools, Options and reset things at least 3 or 4 times before they would finally stay the way I wanted them.
I would tell it Never Remember History and after while I would look and it would say, Remember History. I wanted a Blank Start page, and it kept changing it. It's okay now but the Awesome Bar is not working at all.

Do your bookmarks show up in the auto-suggest drop-down list?
''If not:'' Under Options > Privacy, in the bottom section, does it still show that Firefox should suggest Bookmarks in the Location bar?
If auto-suggest works but the autofill isn't happening, you could double-check that it has not been disabled here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''autof''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the '''browser.urlbar.autoFill''' preference is bold and "user set" to false, double-click it to switch its value back to the default value of true. That should work in new tabs.
It's it already true, hmm, I wonder whether this is a private browsing issue? (I didn't test with automatic private browsing.)

The "awesome bar" is not working. There is no drop-down no matter what I do. If I click on the arrow or just start typing, nothing happens. ???

It used to work before the last Firefox update. It still works on my husband's computer and our settings are the same as far as I can tell. How do I fix this?

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
See [[Smart Location Bar]]
* Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
* Make sure that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.

Awesome tab completion not working

Hi,
I've just upgraded my arch installation to using the awesome WM. However, tab completion refuses to work whe I try launching a program, it just throws me out of the command box.
Here is my rc.lua:

Any help is much appreciated,

No, I only moved the part:
I previously wrote:awful.util.spawn_with_shell("xbindkeys")
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("wicd-client --tray ")
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("conky")
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("synaptikscfg init")
to xinitrc. I am also aware that awesome takes the default in case something goes wrong. I tried the default still no tab completion.
Could it be related to some keygrabber in the background ? I also tried killing xbindkeys - no result. Could it somehow be related to my previous LXDE setup ?

Awesome Bar search not working properly

When I try to search from the Awesome Bar, instead of searching with Ixquick (which I set in about:config), it searches the currently active engine in the Search Bar. I have Firefox Portable 23.0 (by PortableApps.com) and run it on Windows 8.

That is a new feature in Firefox 23.

My bookmarks are gone, and the awesome bar is not working anymore.

Yesterday morning I had a short problem with my internet connection. I used the qwest quick care to try and solve the issue, but it didn't really help. The internet connection was restored later in the day. Now, however, all my bookmarks are gone and the "awesome bar" no longer makes suggestions for sites when we start typing.

Did you install the Places Maintenance extension and checked the places.sqlite database file?

Awesome menu not working?

Hey!
I installed Awesome,
> sudo pacman -S awesome
and then went about trying to get some sort of launcher up and working, in this case the built-in "awesome-menu", by following these steps.
> mkdir .awesome
> cd .awesome
> touch menu
> nano menu
Then simply inserted these lines:
leafpad
firefox
After that I edited ~/.awesomerc to the following (excerpt):
key
modkey = {"Mod4"}
key = "p"
command = "spawn"
arg = "exec `cat ~/.awesome/menu | awesome-menu`"
But when I launch X and Awesome, and press Mod4+p, nothing happens. I tried installing dmenu instead, and edited ~/.awesomerc once more, to the lines right below the awesome-menu entry in the FAQ linked to above. It works, when the key combo is pressed a light grey bar is displayed in the bottom portion of the screen. So how come the awesome-menu doesn't work?
(I'm aware of the fact that I could use dmenu instead, but I'd rather explore the capabilities of the built-in first afore I go ahead with extra functionalities. The documentation of the both is rather lacking... not sure what the differences are.)
Any ideas/suggestions/tips?
Thank you in advance.

The stable version of Awesome doesn't have awesome-menu. You'll need to upgrade to a development version. Try awesome-git from AUR.

I downloaded from Safari Extension Gallery "Awesome Screenshot" then remove it. No my Internet is not working, my Safari simply hangs

I downloaded from Safari Extension Gallery "awesome Screenshot" couple of days ago and then decided to remove it from the system . Since then the awesome icon does not appear But my Safari is suffering as it is not loading the pages.Please help

Try removing any other extensions and plugins and if that works introduce them one at a time, you may find it is one of those causing the problem.
If that does not work create a new post, this one being closed will gather less interest and someone who as an answer could miss it.

[rxvt-unicode]pseudo-transparency not working with Awesome WM (solved)

Hi all,
first of all, let me tell you that I googled about this problem, I read the Archwiki, the rxvt FAQ and several threads in multiple forums but nothing that I found actually worked.
I'm using Awesome WM and OpenBox and my rxvt is the standard rxvt-unicode from the repos.
Since an update, rxvt is not transparent anymore (I was using pseudo-transparency). Actually, transparency works with OpenBox but it does not work with Awesome WM. I find it very weird.
I tried increasing the shading value in .Xdefaults as suggested in an other thread in this form but it did not help at all. I thought the problem was that I needed libafterimage so I installed it but then, how to use it?
Does someone have any idea about this? I'd be very thankfull!

And how exactly did you get it to work with feh ? I keep failing to get pseudo-transparency.
My theme.lua has this:
awsetbg -f -u feh path/to/wallpaper
and I also tried this:
feh --bg-scale path/to/wallpaper
and in Xdefaults:
URxvt*background 0
URxvt*depth 24 ( doesn't work with 32 either )
URxvt*inheritPixmap true
URxvt*transparent true
EDIT:
I got cairo working ( finally ), so I have true transparency, so don't mind my post.

[Solved] Awesome 3.5: gmail vicious widget does not work

I updated my awesome from 3.4 to 3.5. I noticed that vicious.widgets.gmail does not work anymore. When I move my cursor on mailicon, I can only see N/A. Obviously in my home there is ~/.netrc file:
machine mail.google.com login MYMAIL password MYPASSWORD
This is how I configured the widget: Solved someone this or has someone any idea about how to solve?
-- Gmail
mailicon = wibox.widget.imagebox(beautiful.widget_gmail)
mailwidget = wibox.widget.textbox()
gmail_t = awful.tooltip({ objects = { mailwidget },})
vicious.register(mailwidget, vicious.widgets.gmail,
function (widget, args)
gmail_t:set_text(args["{subject}"])
gmail_t:add_to_object(mailicon)
return args["{count}"]
end, 120)
--the '120' here means check every 2 minutes.
mailicon:buttons(awful.util.table.join(
awful.button({ }, 1, function () awful.util.spawn("urxvt -e mutt", false) end)
Bye! ^^

That's what he has.

ITunes match does not work on my iPhone 4S, but is working across all of my other Macs and iOS devices. All other iCloud services are working fine on the 4S - any suggestions?

iTunes match is not working on my iPhone 4S; it works awesome across all of my Macs and other iOS devices (iPad 2, iPod Touch 4g x 2, and my wife's iPhone 4). Any suggestions? Thanks!

It is not possible to "toggle back and forth" at will. If you associate a device with an Apple ID and you have iTunes Match enabled you must wait 90 days before you can associate it with another Apple ID. See this Apple KB article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

MBP CD2 DVI to VGA not working with projector

I am having issues getting the MBP to recognize a DELL 2300 projector through a DVI to VGA apple cable.
A few months ago there were posts about this, but no solutions. The problem seems to be with the 'INTEL' side of things, as the same projector with the same DVI to VGA apple cable works on an older G4 tower running 10.4.9. The projector also works on an old G4 iBook with it's version of a VGA adapter. To make things more confusing, a DVI to Video apple cable works with the DELL 2300 on my new MBP C2D-but produces a terrible quality picture. Mysteriously, my previous 1st generation MBP CD worked with the DELL 2300 via a DVI to VGA apple cable (but I'm not sure which OS was out at the time 10.4.8?)
My new MBP CD2 definately recognizes the projector through the DVI to VGA adapter, but the projector doesn't recognize the video signal from the computer. It is DEFINATELY the MBP (or universal drivers), as I have checked the DVI to VGA dongle (works), have checked the projector (works with an ibook running 10.4.8 OSX with VGA dongle), have changed resolution settings before and after connecting, have restarted computer, have tested various orders of connecting the projector and cables. STINK! (I also have TWO DVI to VGA adapters, so it is not a bad adapter). I have also played with exchanging various plist files from older universal versions of 10.4.8 that worked with the projector-no help.
As I stated, the projector will work (in horrible quality) with a DVI to Video dongle. Why it will not work with the DVI to VGA dongle is a mystery and annoying I would hope that a newer MBP CD2 would be plug and play (like my previous MBP CD and an old G4 tower and an old iBook G4...but no).
Any ideas, any help, any answers?

Here are the actors in our play today
1. MacBookPro A. (my system a CD2 2.16 with OSX 10.4.9)
2. MacBookPro B. (my friends system a CD2 2.16 with OSX 10.4.9)
3. an iBook (my friends 1.07 GHz G4 with 10.4.8 and a VGA adapter)
4. DELL 2300 MP projector
Plugged in DVI to VGA adapter to the virgin MacBookPro B (never had the projector plugged into it before) Dell projector shows that it recognizes an analog RGB 800X600 signal from MBP B. It projects a beautiful desktop. All is well for a moment.
In Display preferences we see for the MBP B
Color LCD, Display: 800X600 stretched, Colors: Millions, Refresh Rate: N/A
VGA Display
Now, I unplug the DVI to VGA adapter and naturally MBP B readjusts to it's native resolution. Great.
Now I immediately plug back in the DVI to VGA adapter. The computer and the projector searches for signal with none found, while the computer shows no attempt at an automatic readjustment as above (800X600 stretched).
I try the 'detect display' option. It causes computer to stall for a second (as it searches) but it does not detect projector and does not readjust it's own resolution to 800X600 stretched as it did initially. F7 key does nothing.
This is a problem!
So, I shut down the projector. I unplug the projector's power source and waited 20 seconds. plugged it back in, started projector back up.
I shut down/restarted the MBP B.
I plug back in the DVI to VGA adapter into the MBP B. The MBP B screen flashes to all blue, but does not automatically change to 800X600 stretched (remains at native resolution and does not recognize an external monitor/projector)
Enter the iBook!
I plug the iBook's VGA adapter into the projector. The projector shows that it recognizes an analog RGB 1024X768 60Hz signal and projects desktop screen immediately. Plug and play!
iBook display prefs reveal:
Color LCD, 1024X768, colors: Millions, Refresh rate: N/A
Color tab: Generic RGB Profile
VGA display, 1024X768, colors: Millions,
Now. I unplug adapter from iBook, iBook readjusts to native display
plugged back in adapter to iBook, immediately recognizes and displays projected desktop.
Scene 2: The FREAKY thing!
Now, I immediately (after unplugging the adapter from the iBook) change adapters to the DVI to VGA adapter and plug the projector into the MacBookPro B, whallla! Back in business. (computer screen adjusted to 800X600, and projector recognized signal).
Now, what about my computer? I unplug from MBP B and plug into MacBookPro A, and NOTHING...the computer doesn't automatically adjust to a new resolution, and the projector doesn't recognize any signal from the computer.
Ahhhh Freak out! Now, I plugged adapter back into MacBookPro B, and now back to NOTHING. MBP B no longer recognizes projector or readjusts it's resolution. Was something somehow corrupted?
Now, I plugged iBook VGA adapter back in, and iBook once again with it's awesome G4 technology (or dated video drivers or something) recognizes the projector in an instant and projects the screen.
Now, logically I try again to immediately unplug the adapter from the iBook and switch adapters and plug back into MacBookPro B-it worked once right? But, sorry, NOT twice. The mystery deepens.
Well, I think, maybe it is because I didn't restart MacBookPro B before attempting the switcharoo from iBook to MacBookPro.
So, I plug back into iBook-projector. And the iBook works immediately again.
I restart MacBookPro B and plug in to the freshly restarted MBP B...HOUSTON WE HAVE LIFT OFF! The MacBookPro B recognizes the projector and the projector kindly displays the desktop.
Now what about MacBookPro A...Last time, when I did the switcharoo, it corrupted something to cause the MBP B not to work. Let's try it again. Will this plug-unplug-restart-switch adapters-immediatly plug in technique work...let's see. I restart MBP A, and plug DVI to VGA adapter in. Sorry. Same ol' no signals recognized. MacBookPro A not auto readjusting resolution, and does not list any projector in display prefs.
Let's get crazy and immediately plug the adapter into the MacBookPro B...it works-oh so logical...NOT! Why wasn't it corrupted this time by MBP A? MacBookPro B readjusts its screen to 800X600 stretched and projector immediately recognizes and projects desktop.
Now lets see if I can break it again as before. I unplug it from MacBookPro B and back into MacBook Pro B, knowing that this caused it to stop working previously. And...it still works-WHAT? I do it a third time. It still works on MacBookPro B.
So,
I plug it back into MacBookPro A...still nothing. Back to MacbookPro B works like a charm. This time it struggles a bit showing that initially it sees a signal from MacBookPro B of 1192X900 (i Think), then the MacBookPro B switches automatically to 800X600 and the projector works.
Wait..I see something amiss! I see in my MBP A menu bar an icon for Labtick which MBP B does not have. I shut down Labtick, plug back in the DVI to VGA adapter and 'Boom' the projector is recognized.
I unplug DVI to VGA adapter and plug back in to MBP A and 'Boom' the projector is recognized again...no it couldn't be!
Well, it is possible it couldn't be because, I shut down the projector, unplug it's power source, plug it back in. I plug it back into the recently working MBP A with Labtick not running, and sorry folks, now the projector doesn't work again. The MBP A does not readjust it's resolution, nor recognize a projector and the projector doesn't recognize the MBP A.
Let's try the projector in MBP B....same deal. Now it doesn't work. Same symptoms of MBP A.
Back to the good ol' iBook. Of course it works.
Now switching over directly to a restarted MBP B. -DOESN'T WORK (as it did using this technique previously)
Now switching over to MBP A- DOESN'T WORK.
As you can see, it is hard even with multiple computers to find a series of doing things that consistently makes the projector work.
Any thoughts, ideas, ways to diagnose? Thanks!

Animated gif do not work properly on N85

I bought recently an N85 and downloaded some animated gif pictures and they do not run fluently as they should. The SAME gifs work great on both the E51 and 5700. What is the problem with the new photo viewer in N85?
Another issue I have with the photo viewer is that I transfered 50 photos to the memory (Sandisk micro SDHC Ultra 8gb class 6) and when I browse the photos its very slow and some pictures are pixely for a long time when viewing them.

So, it is a general problem in iOS 8.x.x
Awesome....
So I got a ridiculous slow ipad 3 with lots of glitches and not working multigestures.
Is this the the uncomparable user experience which Tim Cook is talking about?

Back camera not working on iPhone 4S 7.0.4

I had not issues from going to the new OS and everything worked fine. Then there was small update for the OS 7. and now the back camera does not work. It's either black or a grey image. I have tried installing the suggest app "Awesome Camera" with no success of it helping. I have done a full restart by clicking the home and power button. I even tried to restore it on the computer and the camera still doesn't work. Really hoping there's new update for this bug as I see my phone is not the only one.

Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
