Awesome-wm has been working just fine before this, but ever since an update today I just get a black screen, my xinitrc still contains it just fine, so I don't see why it doesn't seem to start, and interestingly keynav still runs fine
#Awesome-wm loads to a blank screen with a cursor

.xinitrc btw:

Here's the logs of the last update before it broke, if that's any help, can't say anything strikes me as an immediate likely cause though
(apologies in advance for it being an image, I can't really copy paste it for what I presume are obvious reasons)

Same for me too.
Didnt touch anything, simple mundane update. AwesomeWM just borked.
This might be enough for me to ditch it.
On my main machine I use i3 and I have the same config for over 3 years without issue. This AwesomeWM install didnt even last 6 months without borking
This is what I found so far
Maybe when they finally push the merge we'll get an update that fixes this
If youre using the PKGBUILD from the AUR there seems to be a fix available
best bet it just wait
honestly if I was on a prod machine I'd be shting bricks but I might just opt to be patient and re-check in a week
With the amount of PR opened I dont have the highest of hopes but the fix looks really simple
Not gonna lie it looks poorly maintained.

Okay so... I cloned the repo and fetched the PR-4022, pulled my hair because cmake was crying about my cmake version so I had to edit the cmake file that checked the version to 3.5 so my 4.1 version would work. Then I pulled the rest of my hair on trynna get the missing deps for the build, then I managed to build and install it locally. It did fix the issue, when they will merge this PR with master and that there will be an official repo pkg update I will revert to the repo pkg using pacman -S awesome. So yeah, pretty shitty to fix. Specially that the PR works but its in limbo waiting to be merged into master.
