Description Sebastian Hamann 2020-09-13 10:15:07 UTC
Waybar 0.9.3 crashes on startup when using the '{bandwidthDownBits}' or '{bandwidthUpBits}' format specifiers in the network module. Other format specifiers and modules may be affected as well. Apparently it's a regression in 0.9.3, earlier versions are not affected.
The upstream bug report is: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/issues/810

https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/813 (already merged upstream) fixes the issue for me. It may be worth applying the patch in the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge "=gui-apps/waybar-0.9.3"
2. minimal config  in ~/.config/waybar/config: '{"modules-right":["network"],"network":{"format-ethernet":"{bandwidthDownBits}"}}'
3. start waybar

Actual Results:  
segmentation fault: waybar

Expected Results:  
waybar runs and shows the current ethernet downstream
