 |
|
Hi, today emerge world updated my dmenu to 4.4.1 from 4.2.1 and after the update it does not show file names in the menu. The letters I type are visible, so it probably isn't a font issue, but what could the problem be? Any ideas? Thanks.
btw, my system is amd64 with awesome wm and no de.

oi
I do not know if this wil help,
but when I write a bash script and put it in /usr/local/bin/
dmenu also do not pick it up.
But, if I run
it picks it up.
If I remember correctly, when I installed Eclipse,
dmenu did not picked it up,
and I run # updatedb and than Eclipse was picked up by dmenu...
(I use ratpoison WM, no desktop, on amd64, so dmenu is my great app luncher, kheh)
EDIT:
I also just updated system, got now dmenu 4.4.1 (from 4.2.1), found all apps and scripts (all I use on more or less daily bases) I could think of without # updatedb.

I recently had to change
| Code: | | spawn "exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu` && eval \"exec $exe\"" |
to
in my xmonad.hs after updating dmenu... hope that helps. |

Well, dmenu has always worked fine for me without updatedb; also I run updatedb quite often, so that wasn't the issue. Thanks for the info, though.
