Doesn't detect my WM even though it's in alsi.wm
sweenu opened this issue · comments
I use qtile and it is in the alsi.wm by default. However, alsi shows Window Manager: Unknown
What is the output of ps -A | grep qtile?
$ ps -A | grep qtile
1212 ? 00:01:55 qtile
Could it be because Lightdm is the parent process of qtile?
Looks good and I don't think it should matter as long as there is a process name that alsi can recognize (in this case qtile).
Make sure, however, that the value of PS_COMMAND in ~/.config/alsi/alsi.conf is set to "ps -A".
Alright, I figured it out. The command outputs qtile when I first start it. But as soon as I restart qtile, the process name changes to python instead. That's why it wasn't working.
I'll probably just open up an issue on the qtile repo instead.
