[Error] - does not start due to syntax error #30

Closed ThisIsLamer closed 2 years ago

ThisIsLamer commented 2 years ago

I am unable to start dwmbar due to an incomprehensible syntax error.

I installed it on arch using the yay package manager. Package: dwmbar-git

I wrote the following to the configuration file MODULES = "cpuload ram wifi time"

Two things that could be causing this:

MODULES = "cpuload ram wifi time" should be written without spaces around the =: MODULES="cpuload ram wifi time".

It also looks like it's not interpreting your config file.

Is the config file definitely located at /home/lamer/.config/dwmbar/config?

Another issue I can see is that you don't have xsetroot installed. Are you using DWM or some other window manager?

ThisIsLamer commented 2 years ago

Yes, i use DWM. I thought that the MODULES variable should be written in the dwmbarrc file. After fixing, I got a new error

After installation xsetroot

In general, it works, but for some reason it strongly spams into the console
