Given how I use Awesome with new Lua without any problem, it's more likely to be an issue in your rc.lua.

OK, i tested it with default rc.lua, and it work. I carefully examined my rc.lua and find that line:

os.setlocale(os.getenv("LANG"))

is the culprit, broke my config and cause errors (I attached screen), anyone mind to tell what's wrong? I can live without my native language in awesomeWM but, it have just worked with lua 5.2.4, and it would by nice to achieve the same effect in lua 5.3...

my $LANG:

echo $LANG
pl_PL.UTF-8

This looks the same as this error https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=197530

Honestly I do not know the answer. "Awesome" upstream maillist will be more useful in debugging these issues.

@Aelspire: did you manage to ask upstream about that issue?

EDIT: ok looks like lua-lgi upstream is taking care of this, but they don't provide any release yet. I may take a look at their patch soon

In new version (version from git) it works :) So problem looks solved upstream.

Fixed in awesome 3.5.8-1?
Comment by Levente Polyak (anthraxx) - Thursday, 11 February 2016, 16:13 GMT
its a bug that was fixed in lua-lgi, but there is no release yet
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Thursday, 11 February 2016, 16:15 GMT
