Waybar: Network status doesn't update

[pkillnine]

The network status module doesn't update when the network status changes.

I have the same issue. Even with the default config file, I need to reload waybar to see any network changes.

Seems like the latest release introduced a few bugs.

After downgrading from 0.9.3 to 0.9.1, the network module is properly working again. It also solved a few issues with my custom modules.

Here's the downgrade command for anyone using Fedora:

sudo dnf downgrade waybar

Possibly related issue. MPD stops updating its track status if you pause and then unpause. Same solution as above (downgrade to 0.9.1).

I run a git bisect to try to find the faulty commit and it seems to be 6e7f22ac3ada6e27facee84fcbe2b3973eadbe1d. ~I didn't dig more but I suspect that the epoll loop wait indefinitely.~

I run a git bisect to try to find the faulty commit and it seems to be 6e7f22a. ~I didn't dig more but I suspect that the epoll loop wait indefinitely.~

I can confirm that the bug exists on current master (44119db436, which succeeds 0.9.3) and that git reverting 6e7f22a is sufficient to fix the problem.

Have there been any updates on this issue?

This issue still persists on waybar 0.9.3-3 (Arch Linux)

[matt-della]

I'm surprised there hasn't been any activity on this. Given we've determined root cause (per the comment above), and that most computers running Waybar are presumably connected to some sort of network, I find it strange this isn't being treated a high priority bug.
Obviously, it goes without saying that this software is phenomenal (and completely free), so here I am complaining about a thing I haven't paid a penny for, but I think it's still fair to consider this a fairly important bug to address.

Note that reverting 6e7f22a on the current master(dc625490f8b7ea5d08d74468e3733ffce66cc3c1) produces a conflict. I don't know enough about the module to resolve it.

@matt-della @somini
By next week I'll look into it, sorry for the delay, I haven't had much time available lately.

Can someone tell me if this fixes the problem for them using this PR? @matt-della @somini @ONDRA5
