Reason for closing:  Works for me

I can't reproduce this; I finally got sway running (don't get me started on Wayland...), and bemenu shows up just fine. Can you be more specific about the steps to reproduce?

I have the same issue on x11 after upgrading to 0.4.0-1.
So I have bemenu and bemenu-x11 installed.
Running bemenu-run from the terminal doesn't show anything, neither in the terminal nor in X11 and exits with 1 status.

Could also reproduce with bemenu-ncurses

Hrm. The X11 one I use every day, and can't reproduce, and I also just tested bemenu-ncurses again (I tested all three before the update), and it worked fine. I've also attempted running each renderer with the other renderers uninstalled, tried installing fresh...I just can't reproduce this.

Thanks for the fast response. I just tried again and I have to excuse myself.

The menu is not invisible, I just didn't see it because it is only displayed on the last output of which I have three.
Even if this output is switched off (as it was when I tried) it is not displayed on an active output.

The new question is:
How to assign the menu to a specific output or have it displayed on all outputs (that is the v 0.3. behaviour)?

Thanks for your help.

My fault, just a new otption that came with the update:

Use bemenu-run -m all.


Sorry, my mistake.

@escondida I have not been able to reproduce the issue after trying again today. I don't know which circumstances made it fail last time, but I think you can safely consider this resolved.

Well, fair enough! That's both responders, then. I guess I'll go ahead and close it.
