New release to go with 7.10.2
by Tuncer Ayaz 11 Dec '15

Are there any blockers that would prevent cutting a release of current Darcs HEAD to go with the soon to be released GHC 7.10.2? It seems many users install from Darcs anyway, so it appears reasonable to me.

Using sakura with xmonad

Hi. I recently changed from using xterm to sakura: * https://code.launchpad.net/sakura (primarily because the fonts in xterm look bad when scaled x1.5, and I have to do that on my stationary monitor...) The sakura windows automatically get a thin transparent border with XMonad, through which my desktop background image shows. I would like for this to not happen - as it is distracting. You can see the unwanted effect here: * http://koldfront.dk/misc/xmonad/sakura-xmonad.png compared to what it looks like with xterm: * http://koldfront.dk/misc/xmonad/uxterm-xmonad.png I have tried searching the sakura code and changing random things related to border, rgba, and transparent, but my wild guesses have not been fruitful. Does anyone have any good ideas? I am using running compton (I like the pretty, transparent notifications), in case that matters. OH! I just tried killing compton, and that removed the problem! I guess I should bark up another, uhm, mailing list? Hm, I found this: https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/139 which is the same problem with another wm, compton, and sakura, and it seems the wm was fixed - so maybe I am in the right place after all? There are some hints here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/240 about what might be the same issue in xmonad. Best regards, Adam -- "Hackers are lazy, in the same way that Adam Sjøgren mathematicians and modernist architects are lazy: asjo(a)koldfront.dk they hate anything extraneous."

switch workspace on all monitors at once
by Kristopher Keller 30 Oct '15

Hi, I'm using three monitors and each monitor has 10 workspaces. This is the code I'm using to switch workspaces: [code] myWorkspaces = withScreens 3 ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"] ... [((m .|. modm, k), windows $ onCurrentScreen f i) | (i, k) <- zip (workspaces' conf) [xK_1 .. xK_9] , (f, m) <- [(W.greedyView, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]] [/code] I wanted to modify it to add a keybind to switch the workspace on all three monitors at once. For example, control + modm + 2 would switch all monitors to workspace 2. But I'm afraid I don't understand whats going on in that code. Could someone give me a hand? Kristopher

Server status script
by Iñaki Malerba 26 Sep '15

Good morning. First of all, this is my first message and English is not my native language so patience, please. Im trying to write a script for my xmobar to show my server status. Its mainly a physical server and 2 virtual machines. I tried by sending ping and checking the response, but the xmobar freezes everytime its executed until it finishes the run. How can I fix it? Thanks in advance ! *checkserver.sh* #! /bin/bash > paping -p 81 -c 1 host.no-ip.org > /dev/null 2>&1 > if [ $? -ne 0 ] > then > VM0=0 > else > VM0=1 > fi > paping -p 82 -c 1 host.no-ip.org > /dev/null 2>&1 > if [ $? -ne 0 ] > then > VM1=0 > else > VM1=1 > fi > echo "here should say something acording to the result" *.xmobarrc* > ... > Run CommandReader "./home/inakim/.xmonad/checkServer.sh" "checkserver" > ...
