[SOLVED] dwm.c

Hi, I followed the tutroial on the wiki for setting up dwm, but now I need to find my dwm.c file so I can define some functions.
My build scripts are in ~/dwm

Don't follow the wiki on this one. Download the source code yourself, configure, and then compile.

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?

[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.

[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).

[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

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.

[Solved] Dwm reconfigure after update.

The problem is simple, after update to last version of Dwm i had to build and install it from scratch. I don't want to do that for any new version of Dwm. Is there a way to avoid that process?

I had this issue on my other machine (this one uses scrotwm). Trying to remember what I did to resolve it.
There were no errors after makepkg -efi but the version kept reverting back to the previous one. I think it happened updating to that one, too. Anyway, I *think* what I did was to copy my config.h elsewhere, clear out the dir I used for building it, updated abs, copied the dwm-5.8.1 files in and rebuilt. Search for dwm-5.8.1 using grep to make sure you have the right files.
There may be a step missing from that though.
Exactly the same problem and the solution helps a lot. Indeed, this is the way i solved the issue. But the question is: exists any way to do automatically those steps? I know, i can make a shell script, but apart from that there is another?

[SOLVED] dwm Recompile Difficulty

I am currently running dwm. I followed the abs intall method from the ArchWiki, but have run into trouble when I attempt to make changes to the config.h and recompile. If I make a single simple change to config.h (ex. change the value of "static const char ...color" or "static unsigned int borderpx") I do not notice any change in dwm upon restarting it.

[SOLVED] dwm pertag patch no working properly

Hello everybody! I recently had to redo my system.
Before this change I was using the DWM 6.0 with patches NMaster and pertag.
link to the source code used - https://github.com/abara/config/tree/master/dwm-pertag
But now, after having reinstalled the base system, I realized that the same code that I used before is no longer behaving as it should.
He is working as if there is no patch applied in dwm.c
I wonder what would be the possible reasons.
P.S. will not use sprinkles fork

When I play a music file via ncmpc++, the conky display gets shifted to the right, thus hiding my download/upload speeds, clock, etc. Is there a way to anchor my conky display information and have mpd fill the music file information to the left?
Last edited by ntness (2010-05-30 06:13:38)

Ok, played with -x and -w a bit. Increasing -w truncates the clock/up and down speed/drive information (apparently shifting things off the screen to the right). Decreasing -w truncates almost everything and shifts the code towards the center of the screen. The same holds for increasing and decreasing the value of -x; increasing shifts everything to the right (off screen) and decreasing shifts everything towards the center (albeit, with no truncation). Now I'm positive this would all work out merrily if I had my cpu information in the top left and so could put the mpd code at the end of my file

Last edited by jasonwryan (2009-11-20 06:11:51)

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 &

[SOLVED]dwm and Diablo II?

Hi all,
Quick question--well maybe?
Decided to plunge into the world of tiling wm's and have so far decided on dwm. So far really like it and it helps out my old T21 Thinkpad. I do play some games on the laptop when I'm out of town but Diablo II in wine doesn't seem to work properly. I've searched and googled to death and haven't really found a definitive answer. It just seems to resize the screen and then freezes.
Edit: To tell the truth, it doesn't really freeze. I can still bring up another terminal or something else but the resolution is all messed up.
Last edited by bgc1954 (2008-11-19 05:50:25)

1) Yes, I run both e17 and pekwm on this laptop. It works in both other wm's.
2) Haven't tried running it from terminal yet. I'll try that and see what happens, though.
3) No changes made other than installing dwm.
Edit: well, here's what spits out when run from terminal:
[brian@archlaptop ~]$ wine 'c:\\Program Files\\Diablo II\\Diablo II.exe'

[SOLVED] DWM Compile Errors

Hey guys,
I'm new to arch linux, and newish to linux in general. I'm trying to compile dwm and keep running into the same error. I have been trying to follow the wiki entry on dwm to a T but have not had success thus far.
Currently what I've done is:
1. update abs
2. copy makepkg files to ~/dwm
3. edit config.h, save
4. makepkg -f >> PKGFILE
5. makepkg -efi
Then I get this
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate
thanks
Last edited by raidicus (2010-05-29 23:43:57)

Well, its definitely possible that I misunderstood the process of compiling. i thought you needed to edit dwm's config.h before you compiled it...
IE you get a bunch of config files, edit them, then make an installable package out of them.
in other words i thought I *was* following the wiki...but now I see that I mixed up the steps a little bit..
So basically config.h doesn't have to be messed with then compiled...

ber_t wrote:A vanilla dwm compiles fine with your config.h. So I guess you're using other patches that rearrange the #include directive for config.h in dwm.c, e.g. pertag. 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 - how do you apply patches with patch?

I'm totally new to dwm (it's working great by the way) and patching. I'm having problems understanding how to use the patch program. The basic usage on dwm site says basically:
patch -p1 < path/to/patch.diff
Great, now I have the patch file ~/builds/dwn/patch/dwm-5.9-statuscolors.diff and my altered ~/builds/dwn/config.h. Here's what I did
herman@sam ~/builds/dwm $ patch -p1 <patch/dwm-5.9-statuscolors.diff
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
|diff -up dwm-5.9/config.def.h dwm-5.9-colors/config.def.h
|--- dwm-5.9/config.def.h 2011-07-10 16:24:25.000000000 -0400

The text leading up to this was:

and it asks me for the filename it didn't find at line 4. Looking at the patch, I see it's a diff on config.def.h so I suppose this is the file to be patched and that I should supply this filename and the same with dwm.c? I'm not new to C coding but fresh out when it comes to diffing and patching, how do I actually go forward from here?
Edit:
More info - I used the description using ABS to download the PKGBUILD for dwm and making dwm. My files

Ok thanks but I'm confused again (I know..). I managed to patch the files config.def.h and dwm.c in the source dir and noticed there is yet another config.h file there as well. Now, the in the top level dir with the PKGBUILD I also have a config.h, which is the one I do my config changes. I'm confused because I now have these three header files (2x config.h + config.def.h) which are supposed to have the same source code? I've read around on the net, but haven't gotten any further answers yet. What are the purpose of each config and how should I use/update/manage them when recompiling? This is my situation:
