mustafasalih1993 / rsblocks Goto Github PK

for now rsblocks works only on linux, need to make it work on bsd too.

tracked the resources usage of rsblocks with htop
when volume block disabled, the max cpu% usage is 0.7
but when volume block enabled, cpu% usage goes from 5.0 to 7.0

If spotify tack name is long, it will hide rest of all blocks, image explains.

Suggested solution
May adding chars limit would solve it.

It would be cool if there is a brightness widget for laptops devices

When the MPD block is enabled rsblocks fails to run with the following error"

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Server(ServerError { code: System, pos: 0, command: "setvol", detail: "problems setting volume" })', src/lib.rs:773:22
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Host and port are matching in MPD and rsblocks.yml.

My battery name is BAT0 as I edited in the config file, but I'm still getting "check your battery source name"!

Issue
At the moment there is more or less no error handling in rsblocks. The program will crash if any error arise due to usage of unwrap() and expect().

Suggested solution
Abstract and propagate error to be handled at the right level using a more ergonomic library than std, eg. fehler or snafu.

Hello and thanks for the nice statusbar!!
I am having trouble with icons. Only the memory icon is showing. What font do I need?

womp

Hey nice project! Would you mind telling me what font you are using in the given screenshots?

config.yml will be added in the next patch, the user will only use this file to customize instead of editing the source code directly.

Issue
Currently rsblocks spawns subprocesses by Command::new("...") in several places. This approach presumes the user have the called utility installed on their system. Eg xsetroot. This can also lead to zombie processes which is less than ideal.

Suggested solution
Retrieve the data programmatically by utilizing the system APIs.
Update the gui via an X11 library eg. breadx.

I have started to implement the suggested solution and hope to have a pull request ready in the coming days.
I made this issue mostly to make you aware about both the problem and that I am working on it.

I changed the display manager from ly to SDDM and the bar is not loading.

Error message on the console:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to create x11 connection: FailedToConnect', /home/zexu/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/rsblocks-0.1.20/src/blockmanager.rs:12:48
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

I've updated rsblocks but when I tried to execute from terminal this message is showed:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to create x11 connection: FailedToConnect', src/types.rs:151:48
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

i suck at writing documentations :(

maybe I need to add multi threads to update each item in the bar in a different delay

what font should i install for a normal icon size?

Dear MustafaSalih. I've followed the steps you indicate to install rsblocks, but when I execute rsblocks in st terminal this is shown:

~ (base) rsblocks
thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to parse config: Message("duplicate field `netspeed`", Some(Pos { marker: Marker { index: 151, line: 4, col: 9 }, path: "." }))', src/config/mod.rs:47:45
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Any clue to resolve it? ... maybe is because I've got activated systray?

Issue
Having the entire project reside in one file is bad for a myriad of reasons, encapsulation, readability etc. Also is the project intended to be used as a library AND a binary?

Solution
Restructure the project into neatly organized modules.
If applicable, delete lib.rs after restructuring of the project.

Congratulations for this amazing piece of software!
Is it possible to add support for a second bar like the one from the extrabar patch?

What:
netspeed::get_netspeed panics.

Why:
Paths are not uniform over different distros.
Path in netspeed::get_netspeed: /sys/class/net/{tx/rx}_bytes/statistics/{interface}
My path /sys/class/net/{interface}/statistics/{tx/rx}_bytes
