Waypaper Daemon crashing when running the application

[aarRJaay]

I don't seem to be able to run it with --logs but I can run it with info

waypaper-engine info
socat[96814] E connect(, AF=1 "/tmp/waypaper_engine_daemon.sock", 34): No such file or directory

This is what happens when I run it. It seems to have started since I tried running it not connected to a monitor (I usually run in clamshell mode) - Wonder if it got confused somewhere and I need to clear something out.

waypaper-engine run

Mmmm, I'm thinking maybe this is related to trying to start a playlists with different monitor configurations from those in the playlists (You mentioned you use clamshell mode), I will try to reproduce this first to see what could be happening.

I think I may have found what is causing this, I tried disabling one monitor and resetting the daemon and it leads to crashes, but I am able to run logs. Which version are you using? -git or the normal release? Just to check why wouldn't it let you run it with --logs.

Hi - Thank you for your VERY fast reply. I'm on aur/waypaper-engine-git 2.0.0.r4.dbb8b6d-3 [+0 ~0.00] [Installed: 2.0.3.r1.a8f3a7e-1]

Happy to remove and install another if that's best

I assume either 1 or 2 would be better looking at it as they are newer versions.

Hmm, it seems you're a few commits behind, if I remember I had a bug in which I didn't put a catch all clause for unhandled exceptions, and so the daemon would sometimes crash before generating logs. Btw, the problem was what I thought, I was throwing on purpose on the event that the swww command fails 3 times, so that's what causing this, I changed that behavior to just stop the playlist on an error. Try the latest git to see if the problem disappears.

Downloaded the most recent version and it's all good now. Thank you
