volumebar not showing up about awesome-wm-widgets HOT 8 CLOSED

p.s.: the volumearc works without a problem...

from awesome-wm-widgets.

Regarding the current volume level, on my laptop amixer get Master returns much less information than amixer -D pulse sget Master:

$ amixer get Master
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 127
  Mono: Playback 104 [82%] [-11.50dB] [on]
$ amixer -D pulse sget Master
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 65536
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 42237 [64%] [on]
  Front Right: Playback 42237 [64%] [on]

Same for setting volume level. So I think it depends on the laptop/PC. I'll mention it in README.

You are absolutely right. yesterday I ported everything to my thinkpad and I had to to set an a ~/sound.conf in order use direct commands like amixer get mixer and the regular toggle amixer set Master toggle didn't work. instead all your commands worked great. I don't know, the other laptop always has issues because of its strange amd-proz and ati-graf... I think your solution is better. But the volume bar isn't working, too haha :) . everything else works!

Hmm, that's strange. I would recommend to change colors, just to be sure that it's not an issue. Also could you please tell which version of Awesome you're using?

I'm gonna figure everything a little bit out and I will answer when I find out what was wrong. I use awesome 4.0 btw. I have another problem with the battery widget wich pops up an alert when the battery is critcal. The script is a loop thats why the popup appears over and over again while I tryed to fix it, it stopped appearing over and over again. Now I dont know If it was a simple error or something else is wrong. Maybe you have an idea... greetings!

I agree, the popping up warning is annoying :) I raised an issue for that. I think I'll fix it some time soon.

volumebar_widget = wibox.widget {
    max_value = 1,
    forced_width = 50,
    forced_height = 1,
    paddings = 0,
    border_width = 0.5,
    color = bar_color,
    background_color = background_color,
    shape = gears.shape.bar,
    clip = true,
    margins       = {
        top = 9,
        bottom = 10,
    },
    set_value = function(self, value)
        self.value = value
    end,
    widget = wibox.widget.progressbar
}

Change to top = 9, fix that. The line is too thin.

I've add this to the readme of the volumebar widget. Thanks for help!
