Hi Everyone,
So I started using wmii a couple months ago. It was the first time I
wasn't using GNOME and it's default stuff and I did so because a friend
recommended wmii to me. So now I want to know what you all think. Why
are dwm and wmii better than other tiling WMs? Or not? And what are
I've put the following directly into the events() function of my wmiirc
script in the KeyGroup Other section
Key $MODKEY-z
amixer sset PCM 4+
Key $MODKEY-v
eval wmiir setsid amixer sset PCM 4+
I've since quit wmii, logged out, logged back in, and started X and wmii
again. Still the
. But I'm still confused about why they don't work when I put
them in wmiirc_local in the local_events() function.

or something? If so, how do I do that? When I try to wmiir
write or xwrite to any of those 9P files it overwrites the whole thing;
I just want to append them.

Hi. So I read through as much as I could find on the subject of defining
my own keybindings. I can see how to do it from the 9P virtual
filesystem that wmii has setup, but I am under the impression that it
can be done moreproperly?...via wmiirc_local and the local_events()
function.
I don't believe that I did. I installed GHC, which doesn't seem to work
either. I mean, I assume it didn't actually break, but maybe wmii is
catching the event or something? I don't know enough about all of this.

Adding
/.*/ group=0
to the bottom of my rules file seemed to fix the problem. However, I
don't get the impression that that is the correct way to do it. Is there
no global setting somewhere to make the default behavior that it
shouldn't group?
-Eitan
Then in that case it looks like we have the solution. Thanks for the
help and the info.

Since upgrading to 3.9.2 I noticed that notify-send doesn't bring up a
notification in Ubuntu anymore unless I specify -u critical. This is
particularly annoying for programs like Pidgin where I rely on those
notifications for knowing if someone sent me a message because I like to

Hi. Since I've upgraded to 3.9.2, or maybe since I've setup my
wmiirc_local http://tinypaste.com/bbf341, I've been having a tagging
problem -- that link is to a pastebin of it in case it helps. When I
open a new window for anything at all, if another instance of that
program is already open in
good to go. Thanks everyone for the help.

I chose python because I am extremely new to linux and scripting so I
just went with python.

I printed that directly to the statusbar so I'd know it's the one for

I see. I didn't know I was that outdated. I installed wmii through the
Ubuntu Software Center. Assumed it would give me the latest version,
though I DID notice a lot of people talking about 3.9. I just thought it
was the latest unstable release. Is there a way to upgrade, sort of thing?
-Eitan
I appreciate the tip. I downloaded the latest source, but I'm having a
problem building. Make says it can't find the xft package, and I'm not
sure where to get it because I have libxft2.
-Eitan
Just got it, not I'm getting the error:

Isn't xft what I want for proper unicode support? I'm building 3.9.2

Oh loaded on demand. I thought you meant I have to request it to
install. I'll check out hg then.

So I ran the 2 hg commands. Is there anything else I need to do? Make
something? Make install?

Okay so I was missing a few packages. Installed them. Now I'm just getting

So I had already done that, which made me wonder why you were suggesting
it, because obviously I must have done something wrong when I tried to
hg that URL. I hadn't realized that I needed to build that after getting
it. I did and everything worked. I built wmii-3.9.2. Which leaves me now
Hi. I'm trying to print out a progress bar sort of thing that represents
my remaining battery life. I finally got the script to work such that
from a cli I can print out the status as I like it with the correct
information. However, for the bar itself I use unicode block characters.

Thanks. I ended up trying that temporarily and it so far has been
working. Glad to know it is the right way to do it.

Hi all. I want to add something to my status bar, but I'm finding that
online tutorials are leaving me uncertain of a lot of what I need to do.
Is it sufficient for me to create a file called wmiirc in ~/.wmii-3.5/,
put a status() function inside, and make the file executable? I have

Okay so I don't know why but apparently it isn't freezing on me anymore.
I remember the freezing starting when I tried connecting to my network

I'm using wmii with Ubuntu and everything was fine at first. I wanted to
get wireless working so I installed Wicd. Now every few seconds the

do, but the open

I use the default desktop environment for Ubuntu right now because
things don't freeze there. I can check again probably tomorrow and get
back to all of you with more detail about the problem. I was sort of
hoping it was a common thing, guess not. Maybe it is just Wicd and I
