|
||
|
||
The new version has broken my setup!
|
||
-----------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
First, sorry about that!
|
||
|
||
Then, please open a bug report and I will try to fix the issue quickly.
|
||
|
||
If that is not an acceptable solution, here are different ways to step
|
||
back to the last stable version:
|
||
|
||
git
|
||
``git checkout v1.10.4``
|
||
pip
|
||
``pip install --user --force-reinstall bumblebee-status==1.10.4``
|
||
aur
|
||
``# checkout rev. 7ac3dde7361c6a530141df2b3c0137f57d6b4f70 from https://aur.archlinux.org/bumblebee-status.git``
|
||
|
||
My bar doesn’t show any background colors
|
||
-----------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Please check that you are using i3wm 4.12 or later. Before that, i3wm
|
||
didn’t have background color support for the status bar.
|
||
|
||
Some of the icons don’t render correctly
|
||
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Please check that you have `Font Awesome`_ installed (version 4).
|
||
|
||
.. note:: The `Font Awesome`_ is required for all themes that
|
||
contain icons (because that is the font that includes these icons).
|
||
Please refer to your distribution’s package management on how to install
|
||
them, or get them from their website directly. Also, please note that
|
||
Font Awesome removed some icons used by ``bumblebee-status`` from the
|
||
free set in version 5, so if possible, stick with 4.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||
|
||
# Font Awesome installation instructions
|
||
|
||
# Arch Linux
|
||
$ sudo pacman -S awesome-terminal-fonts
|
||
|
||
# FreeBSD
|
||
$ sudo pkg install font-awesome
|
||
$ sudo pkg install py36-tzlocal py36-pytz py36-netifaces py36-psutil py36-requests #for dependencies
|
||
|
||
# Other
|
||
# see https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts
|
||
|
||
You might also need to add it to the `font` directive in your i3 configuration, for example:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block::
|
||
|
||
bar {
|
||
font pango:FontAwesome, Fira mono 10
|
||
status_command bumblebee-status -m title pasink pasource cpu memory battery datetime --iconset awesome-fonts
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
If you are unsure about how the font is named, you can use the ``pango-list`` command line tool to look at the fonts installed on your computer. Also note how you can specify multiple fonts, separated by commas, in the above example.
