Re: Execute command and wait until it's execution finishes
Hi Jayson,
Using pipes seems to me like a great way to do it, why don't you want to
use pipes?
2015-08-10 17:15 GMT+01:00 Jayson Willson jaysonwillson...@gmail.com:
Hello! I need the following: execute some command and go to the next
command of the function only when the first command is finished.
What I have now:
awful.key({}, XF86AudioMute,
function ()
awful.util.spawn(amixer set Master toggle)
update_volume(volume_widget)
end)
Thus update_volume takes place earlier, than amixer set Master toggle
finishes it's execution, and I do not get required result.
One guy suggested using popen:
function ()
local f = io.popen(amixer set Master toggle)
f:close()
update_volume(volume_widget)
end)
It works fine, but I wonder if there is a way to implement it without
pipes. Could you please help me? Thank you.

Actually, there is no reason not to use them. I just do not know, if this way is the correct and the optimal one. And, really, I do not know what pipe is.. :-) -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
Re: Execute command and wait until it's execution finishes
Hello, You can use my async module located here https://github.com/Elv13/awesome-configs/blob/master/utils/fd_async.lua It has lots of non-blocking async functions to do things like you want. However be warned many people report it segfault Awesome in some situations. This seem to be caused by various LGI bugs and maybe a few introduced by my code too. It is stable enough for my use case, but I totally acknowledge some corner cases can cause segfaults.

(KDE) Plasma 5 and Awesome
Hey there, I updated my Debian Stretch to Plasma 5 now. With KDE 4 I used KDE as a window manager for KDE. Now thats not possible anymore. One main problem is that I can't choose Awesome as a window manager from the settings as it was possible in KDE 4. There may be ways around it (see https://barlog.rusu.info/valentin/blog/?p=292 for example), though. I'm a bit anxious to try thoose since I would prefere to not alter basic configuration files. I also would like to have a solution which is easily reversed. Has anyone combined Plasma 5 and Awesome already and some experiences to share? Also, can anyone tell how good Plasma 5 and Awesome go together? I tried to kill kwin_x11 and to start awesome afterwards but the result was not promising since Awesome's task bar was missing. Thanks alot, Max Görner signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: (KDE) Plasma 5 and Awesome
Thank you for that instant reply. Option 1 is what I used and what I like. Since the KDE-Prefix changed, I had to copy the awesome.desktop file to reenable that solution. Unfortunately, Awesome and Plasma 5 seem to not go well together. Awesome's bar did not appear, as in my first try. More severe is that I cant enter text anywhere and basic window managment as changing virtual desktops or windows does not work. Has anyone experienced or even solved these problems? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: (KDE) Plasma 5 and Awesome
Please have a look at this article: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/KDE_and_awesome If you do not want to change anything in your system, Option 2 may be useful. However, if you decide to use Option 1, it is totally harmless, as you do not change anything, but add an additional option, which suits your needs. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
