Cava not working

[Claudio]

Hi, I’m with my Mabox ready to listen to some music and Cava stopped working, I have picon enabled and I noticed that the super + p keys, once enabled, do not disable it, I checked the colours with colorizer and that doesn’t seem to be either, I tried to run it from a terminal and it gives the following result,

claudio@Claudio-Mabox ~ $ cava
cava: error while loading shared libraries: libiniparser.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
claudio@Claudio-Mabox ~ $ sudo pacman -Ss libiniparser

claudio@Claudio-Mabox ~ $ 

Is there a solution, what should I do?

Thanks for reporting this.

Looking for solution…

[napcok]

Cava 0.10.2 is uploaded to Mabox repo.

Seems to work fine for me…

Although you might need to edit config file… ~/.config/cava/config

uncomment:

method = pulse

in [input] section.

Thank you very much @napcok I will try it and then I will comment if the proposed solution worked for me.

[Claudio]

Solved!!! Thanks

Worked for me too. Thanks!

Only one question. Can cava be placed above the tint2 or does it have to be at the exact bottom of the screen?

Okay two questions. Can it also be ‘always’ on top?

[SauronsMouth]

Looking to do something like this. This is GLava in an un-decorated window.

With the convenience of your current right click method of launching CAVA.

[napcok]

Cava is running inside a transparent, undecorated terminal (terminator) window. While it is active window, you can press A-Esc to access window preferences menu and set it to be “Always on top”.
Usual shortcuts to move/ resize windows also works ( A-LeftMouseDrag to move, A-RightMouseDrag - resize)

[SauronsMouth]

Awesome THANK YOU for all you do.

I’m working on figuring out GLava and it’s associated config files. I’d like to eventually integrate it into your menu system. Here’s what I got so far.

Found in the config file to make it always on top.

I’m having too much fun. Somebody stop me.

Just an update on this whole thing. I’ve been doing a bit of scripting to make for configuring GLava a bit easier. Here’s what I have so far.

Just an update. I have my script fully functional.
