Describe the bug

Browser firefox acitivity is shown only in timeline, under "Activity > Browser" everything is "no data", but in the timeline I can see the data in the "aw-watcher-web-firefox".

Same here, and I also don't see my other activity despite having aw-awatcher installed. I installed aw form aur on arch linux.

@Zudjo What's the browser name that's shown in the dashboard (e.g. under Top Applications)?
If it's org.mozilla.firefox it might be fixed by ActivityWatch/aw-webui#623 :)

Have you tried going to filters and unchecking the "exclude AFK time" checkbox?

No browser name shown, that's the problem

Just tried, nothing

For aw-watcher-web data to be displayed in the dashboard, you also need data from aw-watcher-window.

Just need to run this file right? If so, always did, the notification reminded me.

Yup, ActivityWatch is started with aw-qt :)

You might want to install awatcher if the default installation doesn't work properly. There are known problems with ActivityWatch not running on some Linux installations...

Only necessary if you are running Wayland. Run

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

if it outputs wayland then it's necessary.

It does.

What should I install, aw-awatcher_*.deb or awatcher_*.deb?

I cant seem to make it work.

• Installed aw-awatcher_*.deb
• Removed aw-watcher-window and aw-watcher-afk from autostart at aw-qt/aw-qt.toml in config directory, and added aw-awatcher
• Uncommented all rules in ~/.config/awatcher
• Restarted all aw-* processes

Watcher doesn't appear in the timeline watchers list

I'm getting "ERROR" 😭

You will have to troubleshoot that on your own. Probably related to you not having gnome-browser-connector or something. google or use chatgpt.
