I3 -- non working powermenu

Brtza · December 6, 2021, 7:30pm

Hi,

I tried latest iso and i3wm as clean install on my laptop.

Everything is perfect, but this doesn’t work for me :

# exit-menu
bindsym $mod+Shift+e exec ~/.config/i3/scripts/powermenu

I checked keybindings, scripts and everything looks good.

What to do and where to look for a fix ?
btw, I even don’t know how to turn off my laptop from terminal .lol

does it come up if you use the command in terminal?

~/.config/i3/scripts/powermenu

          # systemctl required

          typeset -A menu
