Polybar disappearing when using mons

SethGower opened this issue · comments

Whenever I use mons on my laptop, either to extend or duplicate, it makes my polybar bars disappear. I have no idea why this is happening.

Output of mons -v

Hello @SethGower,
thanks for the feedback.

Could you give some details about your system ? (Kernel, Distro, WM)
Does mons interfere in a just-post-installed polybar display ?
Are you using the mons daemon, mons -a ?
Have you tested with another WM ?

No, I don't use mons -a, and I haven't tested with another wm. I don't know what you mean by just-post-installed. Do you mean the example bar?

Thanks @SethGower.
By just-post-installed, I mean fresh installed and basic settings (no custom one).

Ok, it works with the example on a fresh install, but not with my configuration. I don't know what I did that would break it, but my configuration is located here

It worked when I removed line 11
