|
Hi there!
On my bi-monthly venture into other WMs/DEs than my old and trusted KDE, I thought I would give Kahakai a chance. And I can't say I'm not impressed. Once I had a few decent themes running and figured out how to find my way round the configuration files, it's looking really neat.
But I have a few major problems:
1) My keybindings in userconfig.py don't seem to apply. The documentation is very scarce for a newbie, and I have absolutely no experience with Python. I have tried to set some keybindings for changing desktops (Alt+1...4) and an aterm (Alt+t), but none of it works.
Here is my userconfig.py.
Also, when are settings from userconfig.py applied? I noticed that Kahakai re-reads all of its other config files "live", does this also apply here?
2) I'm using PyPanel for my panel, but it's like it gets killed right after it's started when I put it in ~/.kahakai/autostart. All other apps from autostart work (gaim, docker).
Please help... 
- Simon

I can't try your config myself right now, but the quoting is different from mine. Try removing the quotes around GoToDesktop, that's a function, not a string. Perhaps you need to quote the numbers 0-3, I think those are characters, not integers... And I have the {aterm} in 'single quotes', not "double", but I don't know if that matters in python. Hmm... after that it's equivalent to my config

No, you have to right click the desktop to open the menu, then select restart before the changes take effect.
I can't help you with pypanel, I've never tried it. What happens if you start it from a terminal? |

I am starting pypanel from xinitrc for openbox and it stays open i am just calling it like mabye the ampersand makes the difference.
I do notice though when I start pypanel form a *term inside x and then close that term whether I use the ampersand or not it will close with the termainal. I am guessing that the autostart of kahakai is creating a temporary term to start and then closes it once it has loaded everything in it's file ...

Hmmm, I tried fooling around a bit, and it turns out my userconfig.py file isn't being executed (did you know Kahakai has a log? ).
If I try to execute the script manually, I get the following:
| Code: | Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./userconfig.py", line 5, in ?
from actions import *
ImportError: No module named actions |
So, how do I make Python find the right modules?

| Perhaps you have a file from an older version? Mine says "from macros import *". |

You're right! It looks quite differently from /usr/share/kahakai/home_userconfig.py, which is the file that is copied into ~/.kahakai if none exists. Appears I had an earlier version of Kahakai in some other lifetime...

Thank you so much, Andersson! That was exactly it, now it works perfectly.
