Title: [SOLVED] waybar galaxy repo has no network module
Post by: promisedneverland on 13 April 2020, 02:47:49
I am using sway with artix, but when I install waybar from galaxy repo which is the official repo of artix, it warned no network module found which is annoying, because without it I cannot see network status.

but surprisingly, when I install waybar from arch's community repo, the network module is back. I checked the PKGBUILD from build arch and artix, they are exactly the same, so what's the problem, I really wanna use artix's repo as long as possible

Weird, I am using sway as well and mine shows network info, but mine is also modified... Is there something more you could provide?

Edit: Updating the package, that might help. I can't say for sure as I am having no issue.
Edit2: Also reason why I have no issue it seems, is because I am using swaybar instead.

thanks for replying, yeah, I installed artix's waybar before, it has the problem, so I installed arch's waybar directly, no problem here. then recently, waybar got updated, it seeems that it updated to artix's waybar directly, so the problem comes back again, I had to reinstall to arch's waybar.

so I don't think update will help, as you mentioned, you are using swaybar, can I see how you swaybar looks like? I may use swaybar directly if it looks nice.

Weird, I was hoping it would fix it as I added libnl( i think it was) which is for network support according to meson options. I use a setup I found online that I like. I forget the original repo I found but here is my copy of it, with just slight changes. Mostly keybind:
https://github.com/ndowens/sway_wm

I launched waybar and it shows my network info:

BTW, there is rofi config in your repo, why not use wofi which is a native wayland rofi replacement

your latest commit of waybar fixed the issue, thanks, you added libnl as dependency, but there is no such a dependency in arch PKGBUILD

I found that there was a waybar AUR package by waybar's author ,and he also added libnl as a dependency, libsigc++ too.
as claimed by the author, I think you should add libsigc++ as dependency too
