ALSAWidget bar not visible

[ACosmicWolf]

ALSAWidget config

widget.ALSAWidget(
  mode="both",
  theme_path="/usr/share/icons/Paper/24x24/panel",
  background=colors[14],
),

Sorry. It's not clear what I'm meant to be looking at here.

When the mode is "both" you get the icon on your bar all of the time (I assume that volume icon is from this widget) and, when you change the volume, you'll see the bar.

Is that not what you're seeing or what you want?

Also, how have you imported qtile-extras into your config?

[elParaguayo]

Also, I should add, that bar looks really nice!

I am not able to see the bar when i change the volume and yes that icon is from the widget.
i have imported qtile extras like from qtile_extras import widget

Thanks :)

OK. Anything in your log?

What happens when you run amixer get Master from a terminal?

[ACosmicWolf]

Nothing in the log.

Output of amixer get Master

ok. Try this:

qtile cmd-obj -o widget alsawidget -f eval -a self.volume

[ACosmicWolf]

The bar still doesnt appear :(

Output of the command.

(True, '-1')

[elParaguayo]

Thanks - this is just showing what the widget thinks is the current volume.

The issue is the regular expression is not matching anything with that output. I'll need to submit a fix.

[elParaguayo]

If you do qtile cmd-obj -o widget alsawidget -f eval -a "self.status_change(50,False)" you should hopefully see the bar - (it's not a fix though).

Thanks it works.

[ACosmicWolf]

Oh sorry forgot it wasnt a fix.
I will try to solve it if I can.

[elParaguayo]

I've submitted a fix. If the tests pass then I'll merge this.

[ACosmicWolf]

oh ok.
Thank You Very Much.
