Multimonitor issues - Githubissues

juacq97 commented 4 years ago

Today I get a new monitor and I'm trying to create a multimonitor setup, but the dwm module only works as expected on the monitor 1 (at the left), on monitor 2 (at the right) it doesn't show anything.

Left monitor

Right monitor

Here is my polybar config file

mihirlad55 commented 4 years ago

What doesn't it show? What exactly is working on the left monitor that doesn't on the right? Is it always the right monitor that doesn't work correctly if you restart polybar a bunch of times? Which monitor's bar is launched first when you launch the bars?

juacq97 commented 4 years ago

it works sometimes, as you can see in the picture, on the 2nd. monitor appears all as empty tags (when one of them is ocuppied), if I change tags (with the shiftview patch) the focused tag on polybar don't change. Right now the module is working, but when I click to change to other tag takes a lot of time to do it, and the bar at the second monitor is opaque, not transparent (this is more a polybar issue than your module though)

mihirlad55 commented 4 years ago

For the issue where the selected tag appears empty, it's because you have the following in your config:

; unfocused = Inactive tag on any monitor
label-unfocused = %name%
label-unfocused-padding = 1

This is the state of a selected tag on an unfocused monitor regardless of if its occupied.

Now for your other issues. First, please double check to make sure you are using the latest version of the module and the patch.

How long does it take to switch tags? One thing that could be a potential cause is you using the module multiple times, though this shouldn't significantly affect performance. Each use of the module opens two connections to dwm, so your polybar bars in total are using 8 connections. I don't see any issues on my computer when I use the module twice on each of my two bars, so I'm not sure if this would be causing the delay.

With the shiftview patch, does it never change, or only sometimes not change? One thing I'd like you to check for this is running dwm-msg subscribe tag_change_event and tell me if using the shiftview patch results in dwm-msg receiving tag change event messages.

Do any of these issues occur if you run only one instance of the module on each bar?

juacq97 commented 4 years ago

I downloaded the lastest version and try again with one instance of the module, is still taking a lot of time (4 or 5 seconds) to change tags when I click on the module, with shiftview changes immediately.

Here's the output of dwm-msg subscribe tag_change_event, the first two events are with shiftview, the last two are clicking on the bar.

```

mihirlad55 commented 4 years ago

I'm not interested in the output of dwm-msg subscribe tag_change_event, rather if there's a delay in receiving messages when you change tags. With that command running in a terminal, let me know if there are any delays in receiving messages after changing tags by different methods i.e. clicking on polybar, using MOD+, using shiftview. This should help narrow down if this is a module problem or an IPC patch problem.

After that I'd like you to tell me if there is any delay (either updating polybar, or actual tag changing) when running the following command: dwm-msg run_command view <some number>

Also, when you click the the tag on polybar, is the delay in actually switching tags or just updating the bar?

juacq97 commented 4 years ago

There's delay only when I change to an empty tag. Example, if I'm on tag 2 with a terminal and change to tag 3 which is empty, the dwm module updates (the focused symbol changes to the tag 3), but the windows still visible like for 5 seconds or more. This only happens when I use the polybar panel to change tags. There's no delay on the output of dwm-msg subscribe tag_change_event. There's no delay when running dwm-msg run_command view <some number> neither.

mihirlad55 commented 4 years ago

Are you using the anybar patch? This issue may be the issue described here: https://github.com/mihirlad55/polybar-dwm-module/issues/1. Let me know if that describes the issue you seem to be having.

Try the following:

Click an occupied tag on polybar
Click an empty tag on polybar
Move your cursor off the bar

Tell me if the actual tag change appears as soon as the cursor is off the bar.

juacq97 commented 4 years ago

Ok, that is. When I move the mouse from the bar the tag changes. I feel kinda dumb that I didn't realize that before

mihirlad55 commented 4 years ago

No worries, it took me forever to detect this issue a while ago. Do you have the anybar patch applied though? One of the things the patch is supposed to do is fix this issue. Your config says override-redirect = false which leads me to believe you do have it applied, but if you have it applied, this issue should not be occurring.

juacq97 commented 4 years ago

Yes, I have it, I manually checked the patch and the dwm.c to be sure that all the code was applied (sometimes some hunks fails, but I don't realize and the program compile).

mihirlad55 commented 4 years ago

I took a look at your dwm repo, but I didn't find anything wrong.

Would you mind trying the polybar module on dwm with only the IPC patch and anybar patch applied? This would help determine if there is a conflicting patch or something else causing this.

juacq97 commented 4 years ago

It happens the same using a fresh build of dwm with just the IPC and anybar patch

mihirlad55 commented 4 years ago

I can't seem to reproduce this issue. It's weird that this is happening with the anybar patch applied. This might take some deeper debugging to determine the issue. Just so I can have all the details, could you reply with the following in the following format:

https://github.com/mihirlad55/polybar-dwm-module/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md

juacq97 commented 4 years ago

name: Bug Report about: Create a report for something that misbehaves

Describe the issue

When I click on an empty tag on the dwm module it doesn't change until I move the mouse cursor away from the bar.

Expected behavior: The tag change immediately after I click the tag I want to see

Actual behavior: The tag doesn't change until I move the mouse away from the bar.

Was it working before?

Did you also experience this bug in an earlier version of polybar?
If no, what was the last version where this worked correctly?

List any other steps needed to reproduce the issue besides starting polybar with the config you posted above.

Move the mouse over the dwm module.
Click on the tag I want to see
Move the cursor away from the panel

Hey, sorry for the long delay. School just started and I just got busy. Could you try adding this line as shown below:

diff --git a/dwm.c b/dwm.c

                                        fprintf(stderr, "Error handling IPC event on fd %d\n", event_fd);
                                }

                                fprintf(stderr, "Got event from unknown fd %d, ptr %p, u32 %d, u64 %lu",
                                                event_fd, events[i].data.ptr, events[i].data.u32,

If this fixes the issue, then it should verify what I believe is the underlying cause that the XEvent queue is not being flushed immediately after the IPC command is sent from polybar.

Are you still having this issue?
