lemonbar suddenly stopped displaying any text

[shankargopal]

I am running a relatively new install of Debian Testing with XFCE4 window manager. Here is the output of uname -a:

Linux debian 5.18.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 5.18.5-1 (2022-06-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am using lemonbar version 1.4

I was using lemonbar to handle the output of a small script I have for monitoring my system, and it was working great.

Then it simply stopped working.

Now even if simply type:

echo 'hello' | lemonbar -p

all I get is a blank black bar. The same happens if I enter echo 'hello' | lemonbar -F '#AAAAAA' -p as well.

The only change I can think of that I made is that I installed a new XFCE theme. But can't think of what that could have to do with this.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling lemonbar and restarting the computer. Doesn't seem to make a difference.

What could be going on?

Hi, I know it's much later in the future, but do you by any chance have two monitors connected to your machine (perhaps with display mirroring?). I have a theory that get_randr_monitors is counting a mirrored screen as two monitors and putting two bars on top of each other.
