Errors building Xmonad using Stack
by Eyal Erez 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Hi, After having a hard time getting xmonad installed via my destro, I've followed the "Building using Stack" instructions online ( https://xmonad.org/INSTALL.html) The build seemed to have worked okay. However, when I try to start xmonad with my config file, I get many import errors. I've checked out the tagged versions v0.15 of xmonad and v0.16 of xmonad-contrib. Has the libraries changed at some point or is the compiled version having a hard time finding them? Is the problem in how I'm building xmonad or in my configuration? Errors: https://pastebin.com/auFthRnJ xmonad.hs: https://pastebin.com/AeQjyVVB Thank you -- There are 10 types of people, those who know binary and those who don't.

Question about desktop notifications
by Adam Cooper 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

I've recently started running xmonad on Arch Linux, with no desktop environment, and can't seem to figure out how the desktop notifications are being generated. - Here's a link to a snapshot, to show what my notifications currently look like: https://imgur.com/a/dLMbj3w - Running `notify-send 'Hello world!' 'This is an example notification.'` yields the error `GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files`. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery? Thank you, Adam Cooper

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [xmonad] xmonad packages broken in Debian Datum: Mon, 4 Jul 2022 12:33:38 +0200 Von: Michael Topp <info(a)mito-space.com> An: Eyal Erez <oneself(a)gmail.com> Hi, if you're asking what distro maintains xmonad packages (the best), I count on Arch. They update all official 'xmonad' packages frequently, because their haskell packages themselves also are updated quite often (could be once, twice a week). – Alternatively you can make your own local xmonad build, independent from the distro. And sure, you also have to decide which compiler to use. I highly recommend consulting the wikis from both Arch Linux and Xmonad.

XMonad broke
by linuxham＠wowway.com 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Arch updated Haskell, but not my xmonad and xmonad - contrib. I recompiled xmonad, got a bunch of errors. I then reinstalled my xmonad-git and xmonad-contrib-git, and then recompiled xmonad and only got one error msg, on ToggleStruts, so I removed that, got zero errors, but no Xmobar, sigh... I will dig into it more, but cabal makes that go smoother?? Thanks Ed

view workspaces in Xmobar
by linuxham 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Hello, I am new to configuring Xmonad, and am trying to get Xmobar to show workspaces. I am using the Xmonad.hs from here: https://xmonad.org/TUTORIAL.html And my Xmobarrc is attached. I am running Endeavor OS, with xmonad-git-0.17, and xmonad-contrib-git-0.17, and xmobar-get-0.36 When I boot into Xmonad, the Xmobar says "Updating", but doesn't show anything! Thanks Ed PS I read all of April, but didn't catch the fix!

Does anyone know why the xmonad packages seem to be broken in Debian? https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/haskell.html When I try to install libghc-xmonad-dev and/or libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev, I get an error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libghc-xmonad-dev : Depends: libghc-x11-dev-1.9.1-11a5c Depends: libghc-base-dev-4.13.0.0-2f220 but it is not installable Depends: libghc-containers-dev-0.6.2.1-ab1cf but it is not installable Depends: libghc-data-default-dev-0.7.1.1-958e3 Depends: libghc-directory-dev-1.3.6.0-49fdf but it is not installable Depends: libghc-extensible-exceptions-dev-0.1.1.4-10872 but it is not installable Depends: libghc-filepath-dev-1.4.2.1-103b6 but it is not installable Depends: libghc-mtl-dev-2.2.2-7208c but it is not installable Depends: libghc-process-dev-1.6.9.0-88a89 but it is not installable Depends: libghc-setlocale-dev-1.0.0.9-a89d6 but it is not installable Depends: libghc-unix-dev-2.7.2.2-bb33f but it is not installable Depends: libghc-utf8-string-dev-1.0.1.1-866d7 but it is not installable Recommends: libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev but it is not going to be installed When I tried to enquire in the distros forums (which is a Debian variant) they indicated that the problem is upstream.
