Two bars in my sway

[kingrongH]

I am new to sway, it is strange that I have two bars in my sway, and the only thing I have done is status_command waybar When I use i3status, i3blocks and bumblebee-status, there is no such problem. Anyone have any idea to solve this problem.

Can you post your sway config file?

[kingrongH]

# Default config for sway
#
# Copy this to ~/.config/sway/config and edit it to your liking.
#
# Read `man 5 sway` for a complete reference.

### Variables
#
# Logo key. Use Mod1 for Alt.
set $mod Mod4
# Home row direction keys, like vim
set $left h
set $down j
set $up k
set $right l
# Your preferred terminal emulator
set $term termite
# Your preferred application launcher
# Note: it's recommended that you pass the final comman to sway
#set $menu dmenu_path | dmenu | xargs swaymsg exec
set $menu rofi -show drun

### Output configuration
#
# Default wallpaper (more resolutions are available in /usr/share/backgrounds/sway/)
output * bg /usr/share/backgrounds/sway/Sway_Wallpaper_Blue_1920x1080.png fill
#
# Example configuration:
#
#   output HDMI-A-1 resolution 1920x1080 position 1920,0
#
# You can get the names of your outputs by running: swaymsg -t get_outputs

### Idle configuration
#
# Example configuration:
#
 #exec swayidle -w \
          #timeout 300 'swaylock -f -c 000000' \
          #timeout 600 'swaymsg "output * dpms off"' \
               #resume 'swaymsg "output * dpms on"' \
          #before-sleep 'swaylock -f -c 000000'

# This will lock your screen after 300 seconds of inactivity, then turn off
# your displays after another 300 seconds, and turn your screens back on when
# resumed. It will also lock your screen before your computer goes to sleep.

### Input configuration
#
# Example configuration:
#
#   input "2:14:SynPS/2_Synaptics_TouchPad" {
#       dwt enabled
#       tap enabled
#       natural_scroll enabled
#       middle_emulation enabled
#   }

input "2:7:SynPS/2_Synaptics_TouchPad" {
    left_handed enabled
    tap enabled
    natural_scroll enabled
    dwt enabled
}

input "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" {
    xkb_layout us
}

# You can get the names of your inputs by running: swaymsg -t get_inputs
# Read `man 5 sway-input` for more information about this section.

    # Despite the name, also works for non-floating windows.
    # Change normal to inverse to use left mouse button for resizing and right
    # mouse button for dragging.
    floating_modifier $mod normal

    # reload the configuration file
    bindsym $mod+Shift+c reload

    # exit sway (logs you out of your Wayland session)

Try to remove position top otherwise remove the bar block and launch waybar using exec waybar

[kingrongH]

Removing position top only makes the second bar to the bottom, and using only exec waybar makes no bar in my sway.
But I can run waybar in my terminal, gives one bar and works well

[kingrongH]

removing bar block and using exec waybar, restart sway , now problem sovled. Thank you!

[piu130]

I use it this way:

bar {
    swaybar_command waybar
}

You can press $mod+Shift+c as described in your config to reload instead of restart sway.

[kingrongH]

If use exec waybar, I have to restart to make it work. I have tried your way too, it also works for me , thank you.
