Solved bspwm problem

[damfreebsd]

EDIT: i I changed #! /bin/sh to /usr/bin/env tcsh this is my second day with free bsd FreeBSD, I installed it yesterday but I didn't know it has tcsh(1) instead of bash(1), I don't know if this did the trick but now x11-wm/bspwm works as it should.




Hi,

I installed bspwm but the problem is that I can not change desktops because I have only one. If I type in the terminal bspc monitor -d I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X it works normally and I can change desktops that's very strange. Thanks a lot!

Here is my bspwmrc file

#! /bin/sh

bspc config border_width  2
bspc config window_gap  2

bspc config split_ratio  0.52
bspc config borderless_monocle  true
bspc config gapless_monocle  true
bspc config focus_by_distance  true

bspc monitor -d I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X

bspc rule -a Gimp desktop=^8 follow=on floating=on
bspc rule -a Chromium desktop=^2
bspc rule -a mplayer2 floating=on
bspc rule -a Kupfer.py focus=on
bspc rule -a Screenkey manage=off

EDIT: i I changed #! /bin/sh to /usr/bin/env tcsh

I very much doubt this is the solution. Both shells are quite different and have a different syntax. You can't simply switch one for the other. In your case it didn't matter as the shell script isn't complex and doesn't use anything that's depending on the shell's syntax.

Sorry but I don't understand what is your problem. What is "strange"?

For anyone who encounters this problem in the future: you need to make ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc file executable
chmod +x bspwmrc
