Re: [xmonad] Re: xmobar PipeReader doesn't work

The problem is that the pipe reader doesn't appear anywhere in your template. -N On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 01:15:20AM +0800, Xie Hanjian wrote:

Hi,

I add PipeReader to my .xmobarrc, but the xmobar will always show the same string (which is read in when start xmobar), instead of showing strings write to the fifo pipe later. Any solutions?

Thanks, Jan

Are you certain further data is being written to the pipe? Please include your xmonad.hs so we can see your configuration.

I think so - I tried to use 'tail -f' to watch the data, and got the correct output.

here is the configs related to xmobar:

main = do xmobar <- spawnPipe "xmobar" xmonad $ defaultConfig { ... logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ myPP xmobar, startupHook = myStartupHook }

myPP h = defaultPP { ppCurrent = wrap "[" "]</fc>" , ppVisible = wrap "" "</fc>" , ppHidden = wrap "" "" , ppHiddenNoWindows = \_ -> "" , ppUrgent = wrap "" "</fc>" , ppSep = " " , ppLayout = \_ -> "" , ppTitle = wrap "< " " ></fc>" , ppOutput = hPutStrLn h }

and my .xmobarrc:

Config { font = "xft:Wenquanyi Bitmap Song:pixelsize=12" , bgColor = "black" , fgColor = "grey" , position = Top , lowerOnStart = True , commands = [ Run StdinReader , Run Network "eth0" ["-L","10","-H","100","--normal","#8ae234","--high","red","-t","<rx> <tx>"] 10 , Run Cpu ["-L","10","-H","60","--normal","#8ae234","--high","red","-t","CPU: <total> <user>u <system>s"] 10 , Run Memory ["-t","MEM: <usedratio>%"] 10 , Run Date "%a %b %_d %H:%M:%S" "date" 10 , Run Battery ["-t","[<left>]"] 600 , Run Mail [("mail", "~/.mail/pop3/work")] , Run Com "volumn.rb" [] "vol" 10 , Run PipeReader "/dev/shm/lrcfifo" "lrc" ] , sepChar = "%" , alignSep = "}{" , template = "%StdinReader% }{ %Mail%</fc> %cpu% %memory% %eth0% %battery% [%vol%] %date%" }

Thanks, Jan
