Re: [xmonad] (sub)layout set up

Thanks Quentin, I've got sublayout working with Adam's help at #xmonad. I've noticed this "limitation" you said about tabbed being the outer layout, but it's no big deal. The feature I really missed was a way to auto-group some windows, by matching them in the manageHook or something like X.L.ComboP does. Henrique G.

Issue 367 in xmonad: When focus changes to floating windows, tiled focus changes in Full
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 367 by MathStuf: When focus changes to floating windows, tiled focus changes in Full http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=367 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Set layout as Full 2. Make a floating window 3. Change the window that is on the "top" in those tat are tiled 4. Change the focus to the floating window 5. Tiled window that was on top when the window was floated (or the one right below if the window is being floated from being tiled) What is the expected output? The window that is on the top to stay on the top no matter what floating window gets focus. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.9 Fedora 12 x86_64 and i686 Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". No output of xmonad --recompile. This occurs whether or not focusFollowsMouse is set or not.

problem with urxvt -tr
by Jose A. Ortega Ruiz 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Hi, I use urxvt with a transparent background, using the -tr switch (that is, this is a 'faked' transparency, no composite manager is running). When a floating window pops up in front of a tiled urxvt one, the latter flickers *very* noticeably. This also happens when the terminal is resized in any way (e.g., by switching to a different layout). Without the -tr switch, the problem disappears. Although this could be a bug in urxvt, the fact is that the flickering is absent in other window managers (i've tried sawfish, stumpwm and pekwm): with them, i can resize urxvt terminal windows (or put other windows in front of them) without any flickering. Is anyone else observing this behaviour? TIA, jao -- A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Creating a new package with cabal-install
by Ralph Hofmann 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

I am just trying to follow this tutorial: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/xmonad_development_tutorial As I would like to use cabal-install, I tried "cabal install" from the XMonadContrib directory to build and install the HelloWorld module, but I got an error message in section 2.3 of the tutorial: Resolving dependencies... Configuring xmonad-contrib-0.9.1... Preprocessing library xmonad-contrib-0.9.1... cabal: can't find source for Xmonad.Actions.HelloWorld in ., dist/build/autogen cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: xmonad-contrib-0.9.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1 What's wrong? Cheers, Ralph

xmonad on solaris, input issue
by Stephan Schulz 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Hello all! I've succeeded in building xmonad 0.9.1 on a sparc box with Solaris 10 and GHC 6.10.4 (bootstrapped with the 6.8.3 binary sparc package). The only issue is, that it doesn't recognize it's metakey. So I can't open a terminal or quit it with Meta+Shift+Q. It has definitely something to do with the build process as remotely starting xmonad on a linux box does work flawless (remotely as in "ssh -X" to it). Has anyone suggestions were I should start to check for errors? best regards, Stephan

Issue 365 in xmonad: shellPrompt ctrl-c hangs xmonad
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 365 by j...(a)kitenet.net: shellPrompt ctrl-c hangs xmonad http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=365 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. bring up shellPrompt window 2. type part of a program name 3. press ctrl-C What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I'd expect it to close the prompt, or ignore the ctrl-c. Instead, xmonad hangs. Nothing further can be entered into the shellPrompt, and as it's model, other windows cannot be focused. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad 0.9 with contrib 0.9 on Debian unstable. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". xmonad.hs attached Please provide any additional information below.

Recommended setup for coding
by Ralph Hofmann 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

I would like to try some haskell coding with xmonad. What is the best xmonad install for this purpose? Is it essential to use the cabal version? What is your opinion about the "Haskell Platform" instead of ghc --> http://sporkcode.wordpress.com/2009/07/11/installing-the-haskell-platform-i… So far i am using ghc/xmonad-0.9.1 from debian sid, installed on ubuntu 9.10. If possible i would like to keep this unchanged, because everything works fine. Ralph

withIM combination
by Alessandro Massignan 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hi all, few months ago i give xmonad a chance and I really like it a lot... There's only one problem: i'm an ultra-rookie to xmonad and to haskell, so i beg for knowledge :-P I try to setup a layout suitable for chatting and looking around I found: * XMonad.Layout.IM * XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators what I'm trying to do is to set up a layout that split my screen horizontally in two sections and LayoutCombinators seems to be the one; each section is handled with IM layout. I've forgotten to mention that in the upper section i run pidgin and in the lower skype, so in each section i want the buddies list on the left and each opened chat to be "tabbed" on the right. Basically i have this: tabbedLayout = (tabbed shrinkText tabbedTheme) commLayout = avoidStruts $ (withIM (0.20) pidginRoster tabbedLayout) *//* (withIM (0.20) skypeRoster tabbedLayout) pidginRoster = (ClassName "Pidgin") `And` (Role "buddy_list") skypeRoster = (ClassName "Skype") `And` (Not (Title "Options")) `And` (Not (Role "Chats")) `And` (Not (Role "CallWindowForm")) ok, it runs but with an essential issue: every chat window is tabbed in the upper section, while i want the pidgin chats above and skype chats below. Any hints? Thanks a lot! :-) ff0000

(sub)layout set up
by Henrique G. Abreu 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hi all, I want to set up a layout that treats two matched windows as one, like always side-by-side. I also want to be able to switch the "master" layout, like: Tall .. ||| Mirror Tall .. ||| simpleTabbed and keep this pair of windows always together side-by-side in this layouts. Of course I will have other windows involved in this layouts and that's the point. I've tried sublayout but I found it to hard to set. Also tried ComboP combineTwoP, which comes close to what I want but has sad limitations like "reserving" the area to the 2nd layout and not being able to switch the ruling layout. Does it make sense or I'm wanting something too odd? Thanks, Henrique G. Abreu

Re: [xmonad] xmonad on gnome: permanently busy cursor?
by Lara Michaels 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hi Wirt, Many thanks for your reply. I am glad you decided to give the applet a try, at least for me it provides precious "orientation" : ) when it comes to mapping workspaces to (physical) screens. After reading your email I noticed that I was running xmonad 0.8 (the version that is currently in the Ubuntu 9.10 repositories); I just upgraded to 0.9.1 and the busy cursor is gone. : ) Now off to try out the cycleNonEmptyWS code you sent to the list -- sounds just like my kind of thing. : ) cheers ~l
