Correct. When something is fixed in the source, you have to reinstall a source-based package. The AUR doesn't see changes to the source, only to the PKGBUILD. That's normal. So if you want the latest changes for any -git or -svn or -hg package you have to 'reinstall' it.

Is it correct that yaourt doesn't see update of the package with your fix? I needed
yaourt -S networkmanager-dmenu-git
to have it fixed.

Should be fixed now with the latest commit.

Networkmanager 1.4.x breaks nmcli-dmenu. Issue here: https://github.com/firecat53/nmcli-dmenu/issues/20

For now either downgrade and be patient until I fix it, or send a patch :)

Thanks,
Scott

@gavsiu - It already defaults to a single line entry. I don't see this behavior on my side. With no config file at all, I just get a single dmenu line entry box. If you'd like to provide some more info about your particular environment, the Github issues page (https://github.com/firecat53/nmcli-dmenu/issues) would be a better place to continue the discussion.

Thanks!
Scott

Passphrase window defaults to full height of the screen. Can we shrink this to just 1 line?

@Rasi: Fixed, thanks!

dmenu and rofi should be optional dependencies, since this script supports both now.

You just need to add the section header [editor]. Check the config.ini.example on the github page. You don't need both sections, but you need the header for the section you do use.

Great job, thanks!

One question though: I use st as terminal, but nmcli_dmenu outputs this when I try to launch the connection manager with it

$ nmcli_dmenu

Seems like it looks for xterm. Installing xterm solves it, but I don't want xterm. So I create ~/.config/networkmanager-dmenu/config.ini and put

terminal = "st"

in it. But now nmcli_dmenu crashes with

$ nmcli_dmenu

I don't understand python, so I'm already lost at that point. What exactly do I have to put in this config.ini?
