Comment #2 on issue 309 by nomeata: xmonad fails with ghc 6.10.4 http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=309 I’d like to mention that I applied this patch to the Debian package. Maybe it should be included in the mainline? I think it hardy ever, if at all, causes unnecessary rebuilding and has the advantage of having users complain less often: {{{ --- xmonad-0.8.1.orig/XMonad/Config.hs +++ xmonad-0.8.1/XMonad/Config.hs @@ -154,7 +154,7 @@ -- | The preferred terminal program, which is used in a binding below and by -- certain contrib modules. terminal :: String -terminal = "xterm" +terminal = "x-terminal-emulator" -- | Whether focus follows the mouse pointer. focusFollowsMouse :: Bool --- xmonad-0.8.1.orig/XMonad/Core.hs +++ xmonad-0.8.1/XMonad/Core.hs @@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ import XMonad.StackSet hiding (modify) import Prelude hiding ( catch ) -import Control.Exception (catch, bracket, throw, Exception(ExitException)) +import Control.Exception (try, catch, bracket, throw, Exception(ExitException)) import Control.Applicative import Control.Monad.State import Control.Monad.Reader @@ -390,10 +390,16 @@ base = dir ++ "/" ++ "xmonad" err = base ++ ".errors" src = base ++ ".hs" + hi = base ++ ".hi" + o = base ++ ".o" srcT <- getModTime src binT <- getModTime bin if (force || srcT > binT) then do + -- remove old interface files, just in case ghc6 was upgraded and doesn + -- like the new ones.

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 309 by mattc...(a)earthlink.net: xmonad fails with ghc 6.10.4 http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=309 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install xmonad on arch 2. Upgrade to the latest ghc 6.10.4 3. Observe the failure of xmonad.hs to compile. In fact no haskell libraries are bing imported correctly. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I see the error xmonad.hs:1:7: Could not find module `Xmonad`: What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I just upgraded to xmonad 0.8.1 and I'm on arch linux 64 bits. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/matt/.xmonad/xmonad.hs on the commandline: Warning: -no-recomp is deprecated: Use -fforce-recomp instead xmonad.hs:1:7: Could not find module `XMonad': it is not a module in the current program, or in any known package. Please check the file for errors. Not much point since it fails on the first line. import XMonad main = xmonad defaultConfig { modMask = mod4Mask , terminal = "lxterminal" -- more changes } Please provide any additional information below. I tried removing xmonad.o and xmonad.hi files to no avail. I think it is still using the old ghc paths or something. I can't figure out how to alter that behavior, but it should do so automatically on upgrade IMHO. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

alt q causes crash
by Daniel Goldin 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

I'm a non-programmer type who has gotten xmonad working great by cut and pasting from the wiki -- with one caveat -- when I hit alt q, not only does nothing happen, but I lose all keyboard shortcuts. I looked through the documentation, and I get the impression I have to change the key settings in some way that is beyond my limited abilities. Any help greatly appreciated. I load from .xinitrc and had to set the path in this file to load xmonad from my ~/.cabal/bin directory. I have a feeling this has something to do with the problem. Here is my xmonad.hs file ---------------------- snip -------------------------- import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe) import XMonad.Util.EZConfig(additionalKeys) import System.IO main = do xmproc <- spawnPipe "/home/daniel/.cabal/bin/xmobar /home/daniel/.xmobarrc" xmonad $ defaultConfig { manageHook = manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ xmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc , ppTitle = xmobarColor "green" "" . shorten 50 } , modMask = mod4Mask -- Rebind Mod to the Windows key , workspaces = ["term","emacs","web","fm","mutt","music","wp","misc","misc2"] , borderWidth = 2 } `additionalKeys` [ ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_z), spawn "xscreensaver-command -lock") , ((controlMask, xK_Print), spawn "sleep 0.2; scrot -s") , ((0, xK_Print), spawn "scrot") ] ----------------------- snip -------------------------- -- Daniel Goldin 213.926.1960

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 308 by jason.ribeiro: Comment in XMonad.Util.Scratchpad regarding gnome-terminal provides an incorrect example. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=308 Passing --name to gnome-terminal only seems to work if there aren't any terminals already open. I'm not sure if this is intended behavior, but if --disable-factory is also passed, then scratchpad works properly. This confused me for a bit so I think it makes sense to change the comment. At the very least hopefully google will catch this bug report :) Contrib/XMonad/Util/Scratchpad.hs 86c86 < -- > scratchpadSpawnActionCustom "gnome-terminal --name scratchpad" --- > -- > scratchpadSpawnActionCustom "gnome-terminal --disable-factory --name scratchpad" -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

darcs patch: Support for extensible state in contrib modules
by Daniel Schoepe 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

This is a rewrite of a patch I sent some time ago, to which there was no response, so I assume it was just forgotten. It has a cleaner interface than my previous attempt. These patches add support for storing custom state information in XState in contrib modules as an alternative to using IORefs, which adds more complexity to the user interface. As an example, users of X.A.SpawnOn, no longer have to call mkSpawner, pass that IORef to their keybindings and the manage hook, but can now just add manageSpawn to their manageHook and use the keybindings normally. The same applies to X.H.DynamicHooks. It also removes uses of unsafePerformIO in X.H.UrgencyHook which were there to avoid the described interface complexity.
