Problem in Installing xmonad
by Nikitin Lev 05 Dec '07

Hello. I'm trying install xmonad (0.4.1). I use debian linux 4.0 r1 I've installed new version of ghc: 6.8.1, version of X11 is 1.3.0. When I configure xmonad (runhaskell Setup.lhs configure) I get error: ------------------- XMonad.hs:42:17: Could not find module `Data.Set': it is a member of package containers-0.1.0.0, which is hidden ------------------- Can anybody help me? P.S. With older version of ghc (from debian distr, I had problem to install old-time and old-locale packages...). P.S.S. I'm novice in haskell. Is there any tutorial how to install (update) new haskell packages (for ghc)?

Prompt: Keys not working
by Dominik Bruhn 02 Dec '07

Hy, as mentioned before I use xmonad and xmonad-contrib from darcs. The Prompt-Plugin (the problem occurs both in ssh-prompt and append to file) got a bug imho: By looking into the code I found out that you can exit the prompt with a CTRL+c and move in the prompt like on Bash using CTRL+a and CTRL+e. All these command dont work at all, alle command which use a CTRL Modifier generate strange characters in the Commandprompt but dont do anything. For example the CTRL+c generates a strange chineese looking charakter, the CTRL+a produces a black dot. Perhaps its a problem with my setup: The whole system is UTF-8, but in all other applications (bash, urxvt for example) these shortcuts work so I think its a problem with xmonad. Can anybody help me with this? -- Dominik Bruhn mailto: dominik(a)dbruhn.de
