SwayOSD command waiting for libinput backend when not running
ErikReider opened this issue · 4 comments
Small question regarding this change, is there a way to disable trying to access the listener when using swayosd?
I don't have the listener running (I just want to use the keybindings in the config), but when I run any swayosd command it now hangs waiting for the listener
$ swayosd --brightness raise
SwayOSD LibInput Backend isn't available, waiting...
P.S. Brightness change works fine for me, can't reproduce the issue as described in #12

Wait, are you running a seperate swayosd instance? You need to run swayosd and then a command ex swayosd --output-volume raise. I'll probably be changing this into a server and client program to make it less confusing
@ErikReider Thanks for the quick reply, apologies for the delay.
Seems like you're right, I didn't have a separate running swayosd instance. I didn't really get from the readme (https://github.com/ErikReider/SwayOSD#swayosd-frontend) that this was necessary. Might be clearer to explicitly mention that a instance of swayosd should be run like a daemon?
I still get the
SwayOSD LibInput Backend isn't available, waiting...
message when running a command even with swayosd running as a daemon, but the command gets executed as expected now. Thanks!
Good! I'll be closing this then. I'll be pushing a PR that might cause some breakage which separates the frontend into server + client executables to make this less confusing #43
