so i decided to give awesome a try again, and with a little help from this oh so excellent quick rundown i managed to get awesome 3 installed and running
http://github.com/gigamo/config/wikis/installing-awesome-3-git-branch
the only problem is... any time i try to use any .awesomerc.lua example i find on the web (and believe me, there's not many), awesome wont load... it starts to, but then just stops, usually locking up my entire pc. It will load and work fine with the example file that comes with awesome, so i've managed to make a few edits to change colors, etc. but i am in no way shape or form very good at this aparently.
ones i've tried to modify and use are:
http://github.com/rhaamo/rhaamo-config-files/tree/master/.awesomerc.lua
http://github.com/xorg62/xorg62-s-config-files/tree/master/awesomerc.lua
http://git.glacicle.com/configs.git/.awesomerc.lua
http://www.calmar.ws/dotfiles/dotfiledir/dot_awesomerc.lua
i have (at least i hope i have, it was an awfully simple process for each) installed wicked and eminent... awful of course comes with it, and i cant find any refrence to "rules" anywhere... and i even tried the one that doesnt rely on anything except the stock "awful" but to no avail...
i've made sure to edit/remove any widgets i didnt want and or didnt have the seperate scripts involved to use... i've edited/removed most of the iconboxes since i dont have very good icons yet... and still no luck running anything other than the stock example.
i could just edit this file, but im no expert in lua and i barely grasped awesome 2.0/2.1 rc file
any ideas or suggestions as to why i cant run any of those, and any other examples from you awesome 3 users out there would be much appreciated.
