shimmerglass / bar3x Goto Github PK

Just a quick question can this panel go on the left or right to and also can you have 2 or 3 on 1 screen? Also it would be nice if it used ini formatting like polybar so can include 1 file in the other for example have colours in 1 file and settings in another

Thanks

Hello!
I was attracted by your project, really something new and ambition project.
Is it planned to have some sort of embedded scripting support? Ideally something like Lua (probably with help of goper-lua and liar packages) with built in methods /API interface, which would allow fully control / draw on widget?
It would be really awesome and endless ability to create many different kind of widgets.
Thanks,

for infinity

even when i try change the config PATH to ~/.config/bar3x/config.yaml

This issue is against the wiki module page, which describes an unsuppored "VPN" module.

There doesn't seem to be a version command but I built from source and will list the latest version at the time
Bar 3x Version: v0.3.6
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS x86_64
WM: i3 v4.17.1
Logs:

bar3x exits randomly, but also when I use brightnessctl externally to change the brightness -- even though my config is not using the Backlight module.

• The exit code is always 0
• -debug provides no information about why it is exiting, other than the expected layout information.

strace looks pretty clean, mostly containing .so library opening messages, then a bunch of traps (a hundred or so) identical to this:

--- SIGURG {si_signo=SIGURG, si_code=SI_TKILL, si_pid=843048, si_uid=1001} ---
rt_sigreturn({mask=[]})                 = 824633729440

and then:

futex(0xc00005e948, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, ~[HUP INT QUIT ILL TRAP ABRT BUS FPE SEGV TERM STKFLT CHLD URG PROF SYS RTMIN RT_1 RT_2], NULL, 8) = 0
futex(0xc00005e948, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, ~[HUP INT QUIT ILL TRAP ABRT BUS FPE SEGV TERM STKFLT CHLD URG PROF SYS RTMIN RT_1 RT_2], NULL, 8) = 0
futex(0xc000688148, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
futex(0xfecfa8, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 0, NULLINFO[0000] x creating window x=0 y=0 w=1920 h=30
INFO[0000] connecting to pulse
WARN[0000] clock: 2 modules took more than 100ms to update
) = ?

It then does it's thing, working as expected and silent on the TTY, until it either decides to exit on its own (the amount of time this takes is variable), or I call brightnessctl with any value, e.g.:

brightnessctl s 50%

at which point bar3x exits with:

+++ exited with 0 +++

If it was run without strace there's no TTY output, but the exit code is still always 0.

This happens with trivial configs that disable most modules:

bar_left: |
    <ModuleRow>
    </ModuleRow>

bar_center: |
    <ModuleRow>
        <DateTime Format="15:04"/>
    </ModuleRow>

bar_right: |
    <ModuleRow>
    </ModuleRow>

configs that disable all modules, and empty configs (bar3x -config /dev/null).

Exit code 0 is "success". There's no panic, no core dump, and no error message. Is there any way I can track why it is exiting? Any way to have it panic, rather than silently swallowing the error and exiting?

The Battery module is implemented but it is not documented. Adding something like the snippet below would be nice for new users. (I'd make a pull request, but apparently GitHub does not support pull requests on wikis)

Battery

Display current battery capacity. Supports: /sys/class/power_supply/*/capacity

Example: <Battery Name="BAT0" />

Parameters

• Name: (string): Name of the power supply in /sys/class/power_supply/ Required

The github path does not match the module declaration, causing go get to fail.

The README says that go get github.com/ShimmerGlass/bar3x works, but because the github path does not match the Go module declaration (case sensitive) the command fails:

$ go get github.com/ShimmerGlass/bar3x                                          ~
go get: github.com/ShimmerGlass/bar3x@none updating to
        github.com/ShimmerGlass/[email protected]: parsing go.mod:
        module declares its path as: github.com/shimmerglass/bar3x
                but was required as: github.com/ShimmerGlass/bar3x

This makes the package not go-gettable.

• Go: 1.16.2
• OS: Linux 5.11.6-arch1-1 x86_64
• bar3x: v0.3.6
