If it's still not loading yoru after commenting out these lines

#127 (comment):
~/.config/awesome/ui/panels/top-panel/init.lua : 19

s.battery = require("ui.panels.top-panel.battery")()

~/.config/awesome/ui/panels/top-panel/init.lua : 264

s.battery,

Try these as well

#127 (comment):
I just had this problem of the config not appearing to load completely but I've managed to resolve it.

picom no longer appears to have an argument --experiential-backends.
I edited .config/awesome/configuration/autostart.lua accordingly:

line 9 of ~/.config/awesome/configuration/autostart.lua should look like

awful.spawn("picom --config " .. config_dir .. "configuration/picom.conf", false)

If it's not yet solved then post the error logs (you can find them from ~/.xsession-errors)

I have the same issue as well. Been through the necessary changes in the config, meaning I removed the battery module since I don't use it on a desktop, removed the picoms --experimental-backends flag from the auto start and finally I added a keyboard layout module because I need it.

I my case I'm guessing that it is a module dependency issue tho because I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 and installing on my home Arch desktop the dotfiles was never an issue.

I used the following into my .xinitrc

exec /usr/bin/awesome >>~/.cache/awesome/stdout 2>>~/.cache/awesome/stderr

and the error output I got is the following

#~/.cache/awsome/stderr

Any idea on what I may be missing?
