@ethanmad yep the extra space is due to the min_width=CPU: 100.00% line in the conf. Get rid of it if you want. It's indeed useless if your CPU block is the first one one the left! :-)

Thanks @vivien. That fixed it!

is there an option to reload i3blocks ?
Sebastien Bariteau
@numkem
@niksfirefly as far as I know no, you'll have to reload/restart i3. By default it's through $mod+shift+r

@niksfirefly

hi guys, is there a way to have a keyboard layout in i3blocks?
and hen have it changed on click :)
Vivien Didelot
@vivien
Hi @nenadilic84! Somebody just emailed me such a script, I asked him to suggest it on i3blocks-contrib, I guess it'll come around soon, keep an eye opened ;-)
Sebastien Bariteau
@numkem
@nenadilic84 I use something called xkb-switch from git (under arch) to achive that kind of behavior. It calls the executable that returns the current keyboard layout code like us
It seems that you are missing ruby-ronn. You can do sudo apt-get install ruby-ronn if you are on debian :)

I'm on Fedora, I tried doing that but it's not in the official repo, trying to figure out how to install it from other places

@vivien Why is ruby-ronn even a dependency? It seems it is just used to make the man page which is just a static document. Would it be too inconvenient to go without ruby ronn, we could drop that whole dependency.

@indeedwatson
@kb100 if that does happen let me know so i can save some hassle trying to solve this with my limited knowledge :)
Nenad Ilic
@nenadilic84
@kb100 I completlly agree

@archshift
Is it possible for me to output pango markup within a json-encoded string? Or, for that matter, does i3blocks respect escape characters within json? I don't seem to be able to include an escaped double quote within my persistent script output.

hey guys, recently got into i3blocks and it's awesome! Unfortunately got stuck with font icons, I've used fontello to create font, but it for some reason I get extra block next to icon(as if I would have used unknown symbol or font is not loaded) FontAwesome works just fine. Any ideas what am I missing?

hey, if anyone has any remote remote , designer, DevOps or Sysadmin jobs they can post them at http://webwork.io
I know that I'm a bit of an ignorant, but I tried to scour the man page, but I didn't find any way. Could someone please help?

@gsiris in the command= section of your config you just add on the arguments just like you were calling it from command line
command=/path/to/bandwidth -i arg1 arg2 ...

@vivien
Hi @jpleau !
I'm still busy with kernel networking stuffs, but I'm preparing a proof of concept for a new version
thanks to you and others for the support ;-)

Hello! @vivien do you have any plans to support i3blocks on freebsd?
benjiii
@benjiii
I managed to build it by fixing some linux specific signal stuff, but apparently not well enough for it to actually work.

@dindon-sournois
it's quite here

Vivien Didelot
@vivien
hi @benjiii ! I would like to, but I didn't plan to work on it yet (I'm not using freebsd). i3blocks is strongly event I/O driven, which doesn't seem to be fully supported by freebsd (yet?). I might be possible to cleanly abstract the scheduler with a bit of cleanups though.
