[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?

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 - 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

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:

Ok, I used method 1, and I've shown the files from the next section. I'm a little confused by this section:
The default /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop does not allow for a customized start like can be done in ~/.xinitrc. A solution to this problem is to make a start script, for example /usr/bin/dwm-personalized and make an alternative xsession .desktop file (/usr/share/xsessions/dwm-personalized.desktop).
Wiki
Do I need to create the /usr/bin/dwm-personalized start script? What would that look like?
The easiest way to make the dwm-personalized.desktop is to simply copy the dwm.desktop file and modify it.
From what little I read on the wiki about it, you would also need to make a dwm-personalized file in /usr/bin and make your personalized changes there; one of which is most likely the executable file. The wiki seemed to explain that pretty well, but I just glanced at it.
Does that help?
Yes, Knute. That helps. I'm still unclear as to what this file would look like. I was confused by the wiki. I have compiled various programs with gcc (the apertium machine translator, for one) and am currently running i3wm. Line 18 of PKGBUILD says dwm.desktop. I edited it to say dwm-personalized.desktop and then cp'd from /usr/share/Xsessions the dwm-personalized desktop file after recompiling gave an error saying file not found. It's still giving the same error:
Makefile:18: recipe for target 'dwm.o' failed
make: *** [dwm.o] Error 1
Here is the makefile.

[solved]DWM rules for opening terminal based apps

These are the rules that I have in my dwm config.h
The ncurses apps that open in the terminal do not follow the rules. How can accomplish this?
static const Rule rules[] = {
/* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */
{ "Gimp", NULL, NULL, 0, True, -1 },
{ "Firefox", NULL, NULL, 1 << 3, False, -1 },
{ "Pcmanfm", NULL, NULL, 1 << 1, False, -1 },
{ "ranger", NULL, NULL, 1 << 6, False, -1 },
{ "mutt", NULL, NULL, 1 << 7, False, -1 },
{ "ncmpc", NULL, NULL, 1 << 8, False, -1 },
Last edited by derrickcope (2015-05-02 05:26:14)

thanks for the suggestion. xprop just sees them as "terminator". When I start them with -T "title" then xprop sees them with "title".
When I used the -T switch in .xinitrc and then changed my rules to
static const Rule rules[] = {
/* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */
{ "Gimp", NULL, NULL, 0, True, -1 },
{ "Firefox", NULL, NULL, 1 << 3, False, -1 },
{ "Pcmanfm", NULL, NULL, 1 << 1, False, -1 },
{ "ranger", NULL, "ranger", 1 << 6, False, -1 },
{ "mutt", NULL, "mutt", 1 << 7, False, 2 },
{ "ncmpc", NULL, "ncmpc", 1 << 8, False, 2 },
They are still opening on the first monitor and not on the tag I set. I am not sure I am doing it correctly. Should I write terminator as the class?

[SOLVED] dwm manager taskbar font howto

I'm trying to make my default dwm taskbar font bigger. After I installed dwm the default taskbar font looks small for me. How can I make it bigger?
I tried editing config.h file and edited default font to:
static const char font[] = "*-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--*-110-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1";
just the way it was set in my other distro.
But still no result, same small font.
Does anybody have a good font in mind, that will look good, like the one from terminus pack. I don't know the names of good fonts and googling doesn't give any good alternatives.
Maybe somebody has already have something in mind?
1. why does my dwm font do not change, even when I edit config.h, compile and install (makepkg -efi)?
2. could you provide any good font alternatives?
ps. also this default dwm font does not understand cyrillic or any other language, so when I try "Mod+p" in ru layout it screws my typing.

[Solved] DWM with w0ng' config

Hi everyone,
Im using dwm on archlinux, and i try to install w0ng' config. But it is not working, i cant press anykey, i try shift+alt+q, shift+alt+p, alt+1, alt+2..... my screen no change, i must switch to tty2 and recompile dwm to default.
I upload 4 images for more details. This is top-left and top-right of my screen:

cp PKGBUILD /root/dwm/
cp 0* config.h bstack.c gaplessgrid.c push.c /root/dwm/src/

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-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 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?
Cheers.

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] Pacman "config file could not be read" error during Arch ins

I've been attempting to get Arch setup for a while now, and after having some trouble with partitions, my wireless connecting, and setting up repos and mirrors, which the Wiki helped me solve, I've hit a bigger bump. While updating the system using pacman as the Beginners Guide says to do, I get errors when I try to continue the update process as follows :
btw: I'm typing this on a laptop next to my computer
[root@McArch~]# pacman -Syu
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/core could not be read

error: failed to updated core (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated extra (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated community (unexpected error)

Any tips as to whats going on? I've tried to created said files, and even insert mirrors into the file, like in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file but this doesn't seem to help

Glad you got it working.
I'm not sure what happened in your install but I just finished using an old 2007.08 iso and pacman first starts out with /etc/pacman.d/core, etc/pacman.d/extra, /etc/pacman.d/community ... etc., but I never had your problem when I did the #pacman -Syu after initial install reboot. The pacman update removes the above mentioned repos and replaces them with a single /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. You must have messed up an initial config file somehow as I couldn't get the same errors you got. It looks like you had your /etc/pacman.conf file messed up somehow and when you pointed it to the mirrorlist it could finally work properly. I'll just include my /etc/pacman.conf file and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so you can compare. NB* these are from my x86_64 so for 32 bit machines i686 would replace x86_64 in the files.

[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

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.

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'
[brian@archlaptop ~]$ fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33ebfc,0x00000000), stub!

And, I'll try what thayer suggests, thanks. Yeh, I tried setting float before running the script I use and didn't help. I'll try the config.h route next.
