There will still be a runtime dependency on GHC, as usual. Also, X11-extras no longer is used (instead, X11 1.4.0) -- Don

0.5 and packages
by Don Stewart 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Has anyone attempted to try out packing up the release candidates for xmonad, for their favourite package systems? http://xmonad.org/xmonad.xml (for details) The process of packaging should be a lot simpler now -- as xmonad the binary can be reconfigured without recompiling, making the package maintainers job simpler. However, it would still be good to get some feedback on packaging before the release. Particular from the high profile package systems -- debian, gentoo et al. Any thoughts? -- Don

[stettberger@dokucode.de: [dwm] dinput 0.2]
by Don Stewart 06 Dec '07

Might be useful to some xmonaders. ----- Forwarded message from Christian Dietrich <stettberger(a)dokucode.de> ----- Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2007 21:31:01 +0100 From: Christian Dietrich <stettberger(a)dokucode.de> To: dynamic window manager <dwm(a)suckless.org> Subject: [dwm] dinput 0.2 Hi, I released a new version of dinput[1] today. dinput is a derivative of dmenu, but with a history and line editing. In this version i added support for binding actions to keystrokes. For example will -e '^a=popen(xclip -o)' define a keybinding for ctrl+a, which inserts the output of `xclip -o` command to the actual cursor position. Feel free to comment. cheers, didi [1] http://dokucode.de/cgi-bin/show.sh?path=/Projects/dinput -- No documentation is better than bad documentation ----- End forwarded message -----

by lobzang＠free.fr 06 Dec '07

Hi guys, It seems that my ghc configuration is broken ( /usr/lib/ghc-6.8.1/package.conf ) . Is there a way to re-install properly cabal / ghc ? (or at least find a way to fix my conf) I would like to make a clean install of xmonad. thanks in advance, Lobzang.

xmonad 0.5 release candidates
by Don Stewart 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Release candidates for the upcoming 0.5 xmonad are available, for the beta testers: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-0.4.20071204.tar.gz http://xmonad.org/xmonad-contrib-0.4.20071204.tar.gz You'll need X11 1.4 from hackage.haskell.org. These should work fine with ghc 6.6 or ghc 6.8, and use the new ~/.xmonad/ configuration system. Documentation isn't up yet, so drop by the IRC channel if you get stuck, or anything goes wrong. The more testing, the better the release! -- Don

Issue 97 in xmonad: xmonad stops responding to keyboard input after running xscreensaver

Issue 97: xmonad stops responding to keyboard input after running xscreensaver http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=97 New issue report by byorgey: What steps will reproduce the problem? I am not entirely sure how to reproduce it reliably -- it only seems to happen if the screensaver is running for a while. 1. lock the screen with xscreensaver/let computer sit idle for a while/close laptop lid. (?) 2. unlock screen. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? xmonad no longer responds to keyboard input. I can still switch to a virtual terminal with Ctrl-Alt-F1, though. xmonad is definitely still running, and the mouse still works. Focus still follows the mouse and applications seem to respond to keyboard input. It seems that opening a new window causes xmonad to start responding to keyboard input again. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? latest darcs, on Ubuntu gutsy.
