ALSAWidget bar not visible about qtile-extras HOT 14 CLOSED

I've submitted a fix. If the tests pass then I'll merge this.

from qtile-extras.

Sorry. It's not clear what I'm meant to be looking at here.

When the mode is "both" you get the icon on your bar all of the time (I assume that volume icon is from this widget) and, when you change the volume, you'll see the bar.

Is that not what you're seeing or what you want?

Also, how have you imported qtile-extras into your config?

from qtile-extras.

Also, I should add, that bar looks really nice!

OK. Anything in your log?

What happens when you run amixer get Master from a terminal?

ok. Try this:

qtile cmd-obj -o widget alsawidget -f eval -a self.volume

from qtile-extras.

The bar still doesnt appear :(

Output of the command.

(True, '-1')

from qtile-extras.

Thanks - this is just showing what the widget thinks is the current volume.

The issue is the regular expression is not matching anything with that output. I'll need to submit a fix.

from qtile-extras.

If you do qtile cmd-obj -o widget alsawidget -f eval -a "self.status_change(50,False)" you should hopefully see the bar - (it's not a fix though).
