Hey, I've been trying to use Multicolor on ubuntu 14.04 to no avail. I've think I've updated my lua, (I did make linux test as the lua website described, I'm not sure if there's another step to make it so it gets used), I've updated my awesome to 3.55, and yet everytime I restart awesome to try out multicolor I get this:

Xephyr :1 -ac -br -noreset -screeDISPLAY=:1.0 awesome -c ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua
/bin/bash: urxvtd: command not found
/bin/bash: unclutter: command not found

Is there a file at /home/blahhh/.config/awesome/themes/multicolor/wall.png?
You also don't have urxvtd or unclutter, so you should either comment out lines that use them in the .lua or get them.

Indeed, the notification is already telling you what are your problems.

As README suggests, eventually the user has to customize the rc.lua.

In your case, remove or modify the following lines:

run_once("urxvtd")
run_once("unclutter")

For the third issue, you have to set theme.wallpaper to your wallpaper path in theme.lua, or add a wallpaper file called wall.png in ~/.config/awesome/themes/multicolor.

well, that did it. I was getting tripped out by the entire thing breaking, and thought it was something more complicated then it was. Thanks!
