[SOLVED]dwm bars

I have some questions about dwm configuration. First of all how can I move the dwm bar to the bottom and make a new bar at the top where I can put my conky system monitor.
Like how this guy did it with his nice plain desktop:

I got conky to be rendered as a window thanks to your .conkyrc tip but I still can't get dwm to make that bottom gap.
I tried "sh = DisplayHeight(dpy, screen) - BOTTOM_BAR_HEIGHT;" and defined BOTTOM_BAR_HEIGHT to 15 in config.h but it still didnt work.
Edit:
I have been doing some more hunting. Could any of these be the right variable?
static int sx, sy, sw, sh; /* X display screen geometry x, y, width, height */
static int by, bh, blw; /* bar geometry y, height and layout symbol width */
static int wx, wy, ww, wh; /* window area geometry x, y, width, height, bar excluded */
Edit 2:
I FINALLY DID IT! It was in the updategeom() function. I did this:
wh = showbar ? info[i].height - bh - BOTTOM_BAR_HEIGHT : info[i].height;
Thank you guys for all your help!

[Solved] dwm status bar

I am learning about DWM...slowly...
So, I have conky piped to dzen2 as per the screenshot;
But how do I now remove the 'dwm-6.0' from the status bar?
Thanks for your patience.

I have tried changing '-x' and '-w' but no change to the layout...
Just tried to recompile with '-x=850'...to try and push dzen output to the right but no change...

[SOLVED]dwm-sprinkles: can't right click

Just installed dwm-sprinkles (compiled from source grabbed using svn because there's nothing in AUR or ABS for it), and I can no longer right click in firefox or use the drop-down menus. Drop downs on websites work fine, but I can't use anything in the firefox toolbar. ie, File, Edit, address bar history, ABP menu, etc. These things all work fine in gftp and goggles, which are the only other gui apps that I really use.
It worked fine in vanilla dwm, which I built from the package in AUR. Switched to dwm sprinkles because patching was a pain in the ass and sprinkles already has pretty much everything I need. I'm guessing there is something in config.h that is causing this but I haven't changed anything except colors and terminal command.
Sorry if this has been posted/solved before, but there's just not much in-depth documentation on DWM out there (which is why I switched to a pre-patched version of it in the first place).

ok, it works now after a reboot. No idea.

[SOLVED] dwm config

[SOLVED]
Hi,
I am asking for help with my dwm config. What I want it to do is, instead of snapping directly to the edge of the screen, I want it to snap a certain distance away from it (and maybe other windows). Can someone point me in the right direction?
Also, this is less relevant, but I want to include the system time in the title bar of dwm. Any help there?
Last edited by latenitekid (2013-03-12 00:43:30)

The time is included in the example status bar on the wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dw … _statusbar
The snapping thing sounds like a variant of useless gaps...

[SOLVED] [dwm] Can't start dwm

Hi!
I've recently entered the world of tiling WM and started with dwm.
Since I'm kinda insecure, and wanted to keep gnome as well, I've followed every single step in the wiki article and used the ~/.Xclients way, so I could start dwm from gdm (I've followed also the steps in the discussion page as well).
Then, when I tried to startup dwm from gdm, it doesn't start, and goes back again to gdm.
My ~/.Xclients file is the following:
setxkbmap -layout pt
#relogio
while true; do
xsetroot -name "$( date +"%F %R" )"
sleep 1m # Update time every minute
done &
# #estado da bateria
# while true; do
# batt=$(LC_ALL=C acpi -b)
# case $batt in
# *Discharging*)
# batt="${batt#* * * }"
# batt="${batt%%, *} "
# batt=""
# esac
# xsetroot -name "$batt$(date +%R)"
# sleep 60
# done &
#conky bar
conky | while read -r; do xsetroot -name "$REPLY"; done &
#executar o dwm
exec dwm
It's all things copied from the wiki page, just for testing if everything was fine...
My /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop file is:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Dwm
Comment=Dynamic window manager
Exec=/usr/local/bin/dwm
Icon=dwm
Type=XSession
And I've created a /usr/share/xsessions/user.desktop file that looks like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=User XSession script
Comment=Runs your ~./Xsession script
Exec=/etc/X11/Xsession
Type=Application
Thanks in advance for any help, I've searched the forums and used google and couldn't find any answer to this problem :S

haxit, thanks I've managed to solve the problem!
I've installed SLiM and set up everything in .xinitrc.
The dwm.desktop doesn't match with yours because I've changed somethings and because I didn't backup the file (I know, it's super dumb and stupid) I had to paste the defaults I found in the web.
Thanks.
Fellow gdm and dwm users, an advice, put everything in .xinitrc. It's easier.

Could anyone point me at what I am doing wrong? I have tried following examples in the forums, including this one and this one -- but I either end up with dwm 5.7.2 in the corner, or conky prints out the ^fg etc...
Any help would be appreciated at this point...

Thanks for the suggestions Skanky. The broken line in conky was a copy/paste error into the browser - it is a single line conky (I've edited the OP to reflect that).
I think it is a problem with the way conky-cli and dzen work together. If I run:
echo "testing" | dzen2 -fg '#dcdcdc' -bg '#3f3f3f' -ta r -fn '-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*' -p
it prints as expected.
Similarly, if I comment the conky | dzen2 line in .xinintrc and just run conky-cli from the start script it works...
Trying to get then to work together, however, is another matter.
/edit
Some progress: it seems that it is being drawn - if I Mod-Shift-q the dwm status bar briefly disappears and I can see conky momentarily. I tried starting conky | dzen2 after dwm but that didn't work.
I have also added some options, which seem to have helped, my .xinintrc entry now looks like:
conky | dzen2 -x '500' -e '' -fg '#dcdcdc' -bg '#3f3f3f' -ta r -fn '-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*' -p &

I just got the latest one off of the repo at git.suckless.org/dwm. the page says 6.0 but my config.mk says version 6.1. I did try the 6.0 version but the patch had errors. I am a little confused. The other patches come back with errors too. I am using an unpatched version at the moment so I would think most patches should work.
What should I do?

If that's the case, you have to put the moveresize function in dwm.c and declare it before config.h get's included, just like any other function in dwm.c.
Yes I had dwm.c patched with pertag. Vanilla compiles fine. Thanks!

[SOLVED] dwm: cannot open mixer

I've been setting up dwm through the last hours and I had an issue with sound playback. Firstly, I can play any sound from the console or any other wm. The problem appears when I start dwm by using xinit but loading it through gdm seems to solve the problem but still I'm not satisfied with that solution. I think that gdm do something in order to grant access to the sound card but on the other hand I still have another problem with multiple running applications that playback sound, only the first opened application can.
After starting dwm with xinit I get "amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory" and by running alsamixer I get "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory".
Thanks in advance
Last edited by russo (2011-06-20 04:01:15)

Well, I checked those posts.
/dev/mixer exists
I tried to load the snd-pcm-oss but nothing changed.
However I noticed that I can run alsamixer as root. I'm not sure but maybe having to run gdm as root while running xinit as user made the difference but still it doesn't make sense since I can run openbox with xinit and everything works fine. I'll keep trying
EDIT: Finally, I tried to load openbox through xinit and had the same problem. Next I tried to reboot removing gdm from the daemons and start dwm directly with the xinitrc options. Now it seems to work fine. Maybe gdm blocked the sound card once it opened.

And typed xmodmap and my keys was in mod4 section , this is the output of xmodmap:
xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 XF86AudioRaiseVolume (0x73), XF86AudioRaiseVolume (0x74), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x71), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
Now I care to play with config.h of my DWM.
Here is part of it:
{ MODKEY, XF86AudioRaiseVolume, spawn, SHCMD("exec mpc volume -5")}
And when I tried to compile it with that config I got following errors:
In file included from dwm.c:271:
config.h:41: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'Key'
config.h:65: warning: ISO C does not allow extra ';' outside of a function

dwm.c: In function 'keypress':
dwm.c:1020: error: 'keys' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [dwm.o] Errpr 1
And building stop's :(
Is someone use extra keys with DWM.
Thanks for any help

[SOLVED] dwm + gkrellm. gkrellm in all tags + apps not over it

hi! i'm using dwm right now, and it's here to stay in my config, but i'm a convert from fluxbox, and on it, i used to run gkrellm, it was beautifull to have it showed in every desktop, so right now i think if it's posible to have gkrellm in dwm, in the exact same behavior, so it shows in every tag, and the opened apps, dont get over it, like the slit in fluxbox...
here's my config.h, i've added gkrellm to the floating apps list, but don't know how to edit it so gkrellm show in every tag

decreasing window area height would leave space at the _bottom_
ww-=200;
is probably what you meant

You need to define a rule to make it floating and tag it with all tags.
{ "gkrellm", NULL, "gkrellm", ~0, True },
Also you might patch dwm.c to leave some space on the right for the
window, e.g. in updategeom:
wh-=200;
Kind regards,
Anselm

{ "gkrellm", NULL, "gkrellm", (1 << 9) - 1, True },
or you could just replace (1 << 9) - 1 with 511.

[SOLVED] dwm Compiling Error

Hello,
I am running dwm, and I love how simple and light it is. I edited my config.h few times and compiled it and it was fine. The last time I tried, it gave me an error. I could not figure that out. I tried to use a valid config.h from the internet in case I missed my config.h up, and I tried to re-install it. Nothing worked. This is the error that I get when I run the command makepkg -efi --noconfirm:
dwm build options:

No, you were not missing "some graphical libraries that you didn't incluce in the config.h file". It looks like, as jasonwryan said, you copied functions into your config.h without checking how they work. Thus, you ended up having functions that use variables you never define in config.h (and there's alot of those!)
Next time, either stick to already working patches found at suckless.org, or give some effort and at least try to figure out what is wrong with the code you randomly copied.

[SOLVED] dwm react strangely - azerty keycodes error

Hi,
I'm trying dwm after some time on Spectrwm, but i'm facing a strange behaviour it is impossible at all to switch to n tag with ModKey + n or put client to desired tag.
Also dmenu wont spawn with ModKey + p. It spawn perfectly with "$: dmenu_run" in a terminal but not with dwm shortcut.
Other things seems to works fine.
is anyone already had the same behaviour ?
here is my config.h the only things that have changed from the config.def.h template is the termcmd (st replaced with terminology) and the modkey which I have change from "Alt" to "WindowsKey"

It was in fact the 6.0.1 so I presum this the 6.0 version.
I have try to recompile with and without modification in config.h switching tags or sending clien to specified tag still not working.
Also I have try with
#define MODKEY Mod4
but it wont compile.
All others keybiding works well like toggling the status bar with ModKey4 + b, increase client size, switching layout...but not the dmenu and tags functions.
I have try on my laptop and on my workstation and it does the same behaviour so it should be an error from me

[SOLVED] dwm-status.sh, possible to include scripts within the script?

I have 'dwm-status.sh' printing some basic info (mpd, vol, date) into the status bar. Is it possible to make it include eg. gmail, weather, and battery scripts in a similar way that conky would? (execpi 60 python ~/.scripts/gmail.py)
Also, off topic: How can I see which other special characters represent which icons in Ohsnap font? e.g. "Ñ" "Î" "¨" "¹" "ê" "í" "È represent cpu, memory, hdd, vol, clock.... how about the rest?
dwm-status.sh:
#!/bin/sh
icons=("Ñ" "Î" "¨" "¹" "ê" "í" "È")
getMusic() {
msc="$(ncmpcpp --now-playing '{%a - %t}|{%f}')"
if [ ! $msc ]; then
echo -ne "\x0A${icons[4]}\x01 music off"
else
echo -ne "\x0A${icons[4]}\x01 ${msc}"
fi
getVolume() {
vol="$(amixer get Master | egrep -o "[0-9]+%" | head -1 | egrep -o "[0-9]*")"
echo -ne "\x0A${icons[5]}\x01 ${vol}"
getDate() {
dte="$(date '+%b %d %a')"
echo -ne "\x0A${icons[1]}\x01 ${dte}"
getTime() {
tme="$(date '+ %H:%M')"
echo -ne "\x0A${icons[6]}\x01 ${tme}"
while true; do
xsetroot -name "$(getMusic) $(getVolume) $(getDate) $(getTime)"
sleep 1
done

Thanks guys, I've managed to get my notification scripts printing by simply not using execpi:
getMail() {
mai="$(~/.scripts/gmail.py)"
echo -ne "\x0A${icons[3]}\x01 ${mai}"
But like you said, I now have a calling frequency challenge.
Trilby, that looks great. I've got it partially working, but I'm at a loss on how to go about printing the variables in the loop for those blocks that happen periodically.
otherwise your email indicator (for example) will only pop up for one second every 5 minutes.
^ exactly what's currently happening.
Is there something that just prints the variable without calling for an update like $(getMail) does that I could put into the loop?
let loop=0
while true; do
# stuff that happens every second here
xsetroot -name "$(getMusic) $(getVolume) $(getDate) $(getTime)"
if [[ $loop%60 -eq 0 ]]; then
#stuff that happens every minute here
xsetroot -name "$(getMusic) $(getMail) $(getVolume) $(getDate) $(getTime)"
fi
if [[ $loop%300 -eq 0 ]]; then
# stuff that happens every 5 minutes here
xsetroot -name "$(getMusic) $(getMail) $(getWeather) $(getVolume) $(getDate) $(getTime)"
let loop=0 #this prevents an eventual overflow
fi
let loop=$loop+1
sleep 1
done
