nm-applet does not show anymore

[lf-araujo]

Describe the bug Ok, long user of this software. Many thanks for this. I don't update too often as it works as intended. In last update, it stopped showing nm-applet at the bar.

To Reproduce

[autostart]
exec = [
  "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr",
  "nm-applet",
  "picom --experimental-backends",
  "synapse",
  # "/home/luis/.config/nimdow/volume.sh",
  "/home/luis/.config/nimdow/date.sh",
  "feh --bg-fill ~/Pictures/wallpaper.jpeg",
  "alacritty -e neo -a -m 'WELCOME BACK'"
]

Expected behavior That sweet network indication at the top does not show anymore :(

• What am I doing wrong?

[avahe-kellenberger]

I'm on the most recent commit and tried this out, and the network manager applet is showing.

1. Can you show the output of nimdow -v
2. I'd also like to see your whole config file if that's alright

Glad you've been enjoying Nimdow! Hope to hear back so I can help get the issue resolved. It may be something unrelated to Nimdow, however

Sure, thanks:

And if you try launching nm-applet from a terminal, does it launch and is there any output?

[lf-araujo]

There is no output, as if it initiated correctly. It appears normally on htop and in other desktops.

It is just not showing in the panel. The date script has the following content:

#!/bin/bash

get_volume() {
vol="$(pamixer --get-volume-human)"
if [[ "$vol" == "muted" ]]; then
printf "🔇 %s" "$vol"
else
printf "🔊 %s" "$vol"
fi
}

while true; do
DATE="$(date '+%a %d.%m.%Y')"
TIME="$(date '+%HH:%MM')"
# LAYOUT=" $(xkblayout-state print %s)"

BATTERY_INFO="$(upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/DisplayDevice)"
BATTERY_STATE="$(echo "$BATTERY_INFO" | grep state | awk '{ print $2; }')"
BATTERY_LEVEL="$(echo "$BATTERY_INFO" | grep percentage | awk '{ print $2; }')"

xsetroot -name " $TIME | $DATE | $(get_volume) | $BATTERY_STATE ($BATTERY_LEVEL)"
sleep 1s
done

Can you try only having nm-applet in your autostart script?

If that doesn't work, I'll publish a new release for you to try out.

[avahe-kellenberger]

Going to close this for now unless I hear back about it still not working; it's working locally for me.

If you're able, try compiling the most recent commit if you're having issues

[lf-araujo]

Sorry for coming back to this so late. This has been corrected in one of the updates!

~However now the loop for time, date, and battery status is not working. Should I open a new issue? Can this be related to my nvidia driver?~

~Edit I had more time to go into this, the top bar mostly works as expected with the Nvidia driver on. However, the bash script for time and date is not being updated anymore. I am not sure what changed in my system. The toml file is still the same as top comment, the date.sh file is still the same as one of the comments above.~

Everything is working correctly, in my distro libboost seems not to be working, which made the date.sh fail as the volume was also being set in the same script. Thank you very much for this software.
