Issue 210: xmonad.hs not accepted, xmonad.errors empty http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=210 Comment #4 by m...(a)twifkak.com: Nope, you've now got a working xmonad. Per `man xmonad`, alt-shift-enter will bring up an xterm (unless your xmonad.hs changed that). Feel free to ask for help on the mailing list or the IRC channel, but I'm closing this bug.

Issue 210: xmonad.hs not accepted, xmonad.errors empty http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=210 Comment #3 by h.stenstrom: After some more testing, I think this is a packaging problem, at least partly. I installed the package libghc6-xmonad-dev, and a bunch of dependent packages. Now the desktop was blank after login, with the default Ubuntu color. No window which fills the whole screen. No error logged in .xsession-errors. On the other hand, I now have new files in ~/.xmonad: xmonad-i386-linux xmonad.hi xmonad.o in addition to the files xmonad.errors (still empty) xmonad.hs. My screen blank, and I can't bring up any menus using the mouse buttons. Do I have to write something to a file to have at least some functionality? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Yeah, you'll see I spawned #211, which looks like it is leading to some of confusion. The aforementioned file comes into existence through compilation of xmonad.hs. I'm guessing either compilation failed, or there is a permissions error. Please check the previous lines in your .xsession-errors for clues. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 213 in xmonad: UrgencyHook fails under stress-testing

Issue 213: UrgencyHook fails under stress-testing http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=213 New issue report by m...(a)twifkak.com: 1. Save your work. 2. Write a shell script, stress.sh, with the line: while true; do echo -ne '\a'; done 3. Run it in an urxvt with urgentOnBell: true. 4. Move over to a ptty (as your X is now hosed), run top, and notice that xmonad's RES is at several hundred megs, and it's CPU usage is consistently above 50%. 5. killall -9 stress.sh 6. Notice that xmonad is still a resource hog. 7. Curse your curiosity for bringing your work to a halt. (I haven't tested this on another WM; perhaps this problem is global.) I'm looking for suggestions, here. Fixing this completely would require a change to core, I believe. OTOH, this at least points out a space leak in UrgencyHook.

many dzen instances
by Jesús Guerrero 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hello, I am including two new instances of dzen2 to monitor my local box and a remote machine using a piped conky. It mostly works, however there's a minor -I hope- glitch. The two new instances of dzen appears above the windows. There's another -previous- instance of dzen on the top of the screen which I use to log info about the workspaces, layouts and window title. That one fits ok into the layout without a problem. http://jesgue.homelinux.org/other-files/3-dzens.jpg In the pic you can see the problem illustrated. And the relevant snippet from my config is: ===================================== -- dynamiclog pretty printer for dzen robPP h = defaultPP { ppCurrent = wrap "^fg(#000000)^bg(#0390e1)^p(2)" "^p(2)^fg()^bg()" , ppHidden = wrap "^fg(#0390e1)" "^fg()^bg()" , ppHiddenNoWindows = wrap "^fg(grey70)" "^fg()^bg()" , ppSep = " ^fg(gray70)^r(3x3)^fg() " , ppTitle = dzenColor "#90e103" "" . wrap "[ " " ]" , ppOutput = hPutStrLn h } statusBarCmd = "dzen2 -bg '#222222' -fg '#00ff00' -sa c -fn '-*-dejavu sans-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -e '' -xs 1" statusBarCmd2 = "ssh root@server conky | dzen2 -bg '#222222' -fg '#00ff00' -sa l -fn '-*-dejavu sans-*-r-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -e '' -xs 1 -y 1160" statusBarCmd3 = "conky -c ~/.conkyrc-xmonad | dzen2 -bg '#222222' -fg '#00ff00' -sa l -fn '-*-dejavu sans-*-r-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -e '' -xs 1 -y 1180" main = do din <- spawnPipe statusBarCmd din2 <- spawnPipe statusBarCmd2 din3 <- spawnPipe statusBarCmd3 xmonad $ defaultConfig { terminal = myTerminal , focusFollowsMouse = myFocusFollowsMouse , borderWidth = myBorderWidth , modMask = myModMask , numlockMask = myNumlockMask , workspaces = myWorkspaces , normalBorderColor = myNormalBorderColor , focusedBorderColor = myFocusedBorderColor , keys = myKeys , mouseBindings = myMouseBindings , manageHook = manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig <+> myManageHook , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ robPP din , layoutHook = myLayout , startupHook = myStartupHook } ===================================== My question is why does one instance of dzen is respected by the layout, and the other two are ignored? Or, how to make the two dzens at the bottom fit into my layout, so they do not mess up the visibility of my windows. Thanks for reading. -- Jesús Guerrero <i92guboj(a)terra.es>

Issue 212 in xmonad: xmonad and xkb features
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 02 Sep '08

Issue 212: xmonad and xkb features http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=212 New issue report by mauricio.antunes: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Just use xmonad for a few minutes What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I use a xkb feature that allows one to press Ctrl-Shift-NumLock and then control the mouse with the keyboard. After a while, that feature just stops working. I can restart it, although it will be disabled again after some time. I don't have that problem with the other window manager I use (metacity, I think). What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I'm using version 0.7 in Ubuntu 8.04. The problem already existed in xmonad 0.6. I do have the same problem if I config xmonad not to use any contrib extensions. I'm attaching my xorg.conf.

Issue 211 in xmonad: Error output inconsistency

Issue 211: Error output inconsistency http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=211 New issue report by m...(a)twifkak.com: Some of our output goes to xmonad.errors, and some goes to stdout/stderr. Our xmessage only says to check the former. I suggest we consolidate to one output. Since stdout/err logging is computer-dependent, I suggest we should log everything to the .errors file.

Issue 210: xmonad.hs not accepted, xmonad.errors empty http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=210 New issue report by h.stenstrom: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install latest xmonad on Ubuntu 2. Create the directory ~/.xmonad 3. Copy the file xmonad.hs.gz from /usr/share/doc/libghc6-xmonad-doc/examples and ungzip it. 4. Log out 5. Tell gdm that you want xmonad as a window manager 6. There is one window, which fills the screen. It says: Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /localhome/helge/.xmonad/xmonad.hs Please check the file for errors. (note: my account is not on /home, but on /localhome. I use /home for NIS accounts only) 7. Note that there is a newly created or updated file ~/xmonad/xmonad.errors. Note that it is empty (0 bytes) 8. Deliberately insert some syntax errors in the xmonad.hs file, to see if they are logged in the xmonad.errors file. 9. Note that the error file is still empty. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect error explanations in the xmonad.errors file Or I expect the example file to work out-of-the-box. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad: 0.6-3 OS: Ubuntu 8.04 (Linux) Please provide any additional information below. There is a file ~/.xsession-errors which has the following last line: /localhome/helge/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) Indeed, there is no such file. I created the directory myself. How should the file come into existance? If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below.
