You didn't mention what WM you're on. I assume ScrotWM?

FYI, you need to be using at least 0.9.32 to be able to initiate Autorun functions (see man page of the  latest version)

I'm afraid the version in the Debian repos is a few versions older (stability = geezer-old apps), and no maintainer seems to want to add the newer versions to Unstable or Experimental.

THe only way is to sync with CVS or compile from source. If you do intend to take that path, then it's best you quit X and totally purge scrotwm first (remember, purge, not just a simple remove... and remember to backup your ~/.scrotwm.conf first), before compiling the source version (get 0.9.33). Reason is because apt, as you might realize by now) puts executables in /usr/bin while make-install puts it in /usr/local/bin, so it's best not to confuse your symlinks. After you do that, just cp the new included /etc/scrotwm.conf to ~/.scrotwm.conf and make the necessary changes. Do not paste your old config, as that will break some of the functionality and possibly cause scrot to crash. Just use it as reference while editing the new config.

If you just want to use the current version, then the only way is to open FF in workspace 4 when you first start Scrotwm. That way, it'll open there again until you quit Scrotwm.

Did I misunderstand your question?

Yeah I'm using ScrotWM. I read a long time ago that in the scrotwm.conf, its possible to put the following :-
CODE
program[Fireforx]=firefox
bind[Firefox]= MOD+f <insert additional switches here>

So when I press mod+f, firefox opens in anohter workspace. Not in the workspace im at.

I dunno, cos I don't use slim.

Only suggestion I can give is to try forcing a merge-xrdb command by putting a line into your .xinitrc (or whatever start file that useless slim uses)

Try this;
CODE
xrdb -merge .Xdefaults


or this;

CODE
[ -f $HOME/.Xdefaults ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults

Hmm ... I have to say I've never attempted that. I could ask teh dev for you, but then he'd just yell at me saying "Don't go helping Linux people!!" or "tell her to grab the newest version!!" sweat.gif

Maybe
CODE
bind[Firefox]= MOD+f mvws_4


O_o? Seriously, I have no clue.
You've now officially surpassed me, so I should be the one asking you for help tongue.gif

Guys, I can't remember (and for some reason my google-fu has failed me today) but how do i configure an application to load in a specific workspace.

Eg. Alt + f starts firefox but i want it to start in workspace number 4.

I did this when I 1st started this adventure but I forgot how now.

shocking.gif hmm , ive never did that in Scrotwm

I didn remember that Scrotwm has that feature as well hmm.gif

But i know that subtle and wmfs can open specific application on specific "workspaces" nod.gif

@g-17 still cant work sad.gif

I guess scrot hates me cry.gif

What fonts render incorrectly? What about terminus? and are you using the full iso codes?
Show me a screenshot?

....and scrotwm 0.9.32 and later can open apps in set workspaces, fyi ... see the man page

Iso code is something like this :

-*-terminus-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso8859-1

Basically, you open Xfontsel and get font iso codes. Download xfont and restart x

It's probably a SLIM problem if the xsession works fine.
I can't check now ... I'm typing on my phone in a boring cafe drinking lousy coffee
Try checking the ArchWiki's ScrotWM page.

Will check again for you tomorrow

Edit:
Yeah, AwfulWM uses LUA so it depends on cairo to draw widgets and stuff like that

Well, to be fair, Awesome is still pretty minimal by most people's standards. Bloat is usually defined by stuff you don't need or use. In that sense, I'd go as far as saying that even Subtle is considered "heavy" if one doesn't actually do any work on Ruby.

Basically, if you really wanna be a bauhausian-zen-minimalist-elitist-douche, it's only C that you'll need. Anything else is useless. tongue.gif

Maybe that's why ScrotWM doesn't like Zai. It detected too much useless crap installed on your system. laugh.gif

^Haha!! I know where you saw that. El Mariachi's using my .Xdefaults, btw tongue.gif

You think that's a weird name? Try Herbstluftwm

How do you even pronounce that?! laugh.gif

P.S
Zai, can you do me a favor?

necro bumping this thread, got a question to ask,

my screenshot

i can't get my conky output to be aligned to the right, the screenshot it's centerly aligned i guess. been going through the man page but nothing works

here's my conkyrc if it helps

CODE
out_to_x no
out_to_console yes
update_interval 1.0
total_run_times 0
use_spacer none
TEXT
Kernel: ${kernel} | CPU: ${cpu cpu0}.00% |  RAM: ${memperc}.00% |  Temperature: ${hwmon 1 temp 1}'C |  Uptime: ${uptime_short} |  Battery: ${battery_percent BAT0}% | IP: ${addr eth0} | Downloads: ${downspeedf eth0}kbps | Uploads: ${upspeedf eth0}kbps | Root: ${fs_free /} | Home: ${fs_free /home/fake} | Storage: ${fs_free /mnt/storage}


edit: 2nd prob, it seems that the conky output is not really updated every sec, is it just me or something is wrong?

update interval should be 1 , not 1.0

Weird thing though, i see no problem with your conky config hmm.gif

EDIT : try delete any empty space at the end of your conky config

Answering your 2nd query first:
Zai is correct. Change it to 1. Also, to be safe and avoid bar flickering, make sure the "bar_delay" in your ~/.scrotwm.conf is the same number as your conky's update_interval (change both to 2 if you get too much flickering)

Now, about your 1st question. ScrotWM's bar is basically a terminal disguised as a bar. You can't right-align your conky or barstatus script. What you can do is estimate a full conky bar and press space a few times at the beginning of the conky line. It still won't be completely aligned to the right, but when everything is maxed out (as in cpu, network speeds...etc) you'll have it all aligned to the right side.

Another solution is to pipe conky to the dzen2 bar and overlay itself on top of the unused section of your scrotwm bar. Not exactly elegant, but you'll have perfectly right-aligned readings, plus you'll be able to use as many colors as you want.
See my post (gutterslob) here for a short tutorial:

Hope this helps.
Cheers
