Centerlaunch and Sidebarlaunch issues

[morenoled]

Here I'm again =] So, my problem is: I had to reinstall my system. Everything is looking great, as usual, but when I try to shutdown or reboot using the icons on centerlaunch or sidebarlaunch, nothing happens. when I use mod+shift+q, everything works fine. I can use the icons to do this. I have oh-my-zsh, as usual. By the way. When I run systemctl logout, nothing happens too. I'm using killall -u username. I think this is not the best way to logout, but I'm using it. And yes, I had change all the doas to systemctl. I'm running Arch, with Xorg. No gdm, no Gnome. I'm starting xmonad from terminal this time. Thanks again my friend.

Could you please check the scripts in ~/.config/eww/scripts that are related to the issue? You could find clues to solving this there.

Hello, I have kind of an unrelated question about your eww setup, which I've taken inspiration from. How do you go about "toggling" a eww window?

I want to be able to click on my polybar to toggle my eww sidebar, but how can I programatically determine whether to run eww open or eww close?

EDIT: just do eww close <window> || eww open <window>

sorry for take too long to answer... I had a lot of things to do this month. New job, moving the office to another place, etc. Let's go. I make those changes in ~/.config/eww/scripts soon I had installed everything, replacing doas to systemctl. By the way, the logout command isn't working. I'm using killall -u moreno to exit session. I think there is another way to do this, more "elegant" way.

I have a kinda similiar issue, I cant shutdown, reboot, suspend, logout, from the sidebarlaunch, after the y/n confirmation nothing happens, I thought it was the scripts, but when I manually run those scripts in the eww config dir, they're working properly. Any idea?

Are you sure about the scripts working when you manually execute them? That seems weird.... Please provide further information.

Could you go through the script again and make sure all of it is fine? Or perhaps copy and paste the current state of the script on your machine here?

here is my eww folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AzL0N0ZtA4u0UCz29yXNpiPU78hczHXQ?usp=sharing I tried to change the sidebar button, so when I click on the power button, it will spawn the powermenu.sh, but yeah it doesnt work as well it spawn the menu but when I click on one of the buttons, they didn't work, and then I made a shortcut to open the powermenu.sh script using my dwm config and it works perfectly, so I think it's the eww. Wait I forgot to say yeah so the point of my problem is if I execute the scripts using eww it doesnt work. yeah Im sure they're working perfectly if I execute them manually

I'm sorry for being a bit late, wifi is hard to get in the place I am at :)

That is really weird, did you use the eww binary provided in this repository or compiled it yourself?

I use the provided one, well I think it's ok, I already made a keybind shortcut in my wm config to spawn the powermenu without using eww and yeah Its perfect

When I run killall xmonad, the terminal reply to me there is no process located. I still have to use killall -u moreno

Could you try using loginctl terminate-session $(loginctl session-status | head -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')?

I'll close this for now. Please comment again and I'll reopen.

Hi,

i have exactly the same issue, logout.sh called directly works as expected, if i use the logout button in eww it doesn't work, it asks Are You Sure? and no matter what i enter it does nothing, not even the message with the options pops up if i enter "maybe" or something else.

It works in my zsh shell by calling it directly.

Same goes for reboot/suspend script.

I'm launching xmonad with sddm if this does matter.

For the issue: killall xmonad - no process located, the solution is to use killall xmonad-x86_64-linux on my archlinux system.
