Failing to start xmonad sometimes
by Eyal Erez 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

Hi, I've started encountering a weird problem: roughly one in three times, something will crash when I try to log in, and bounce me back to the login manager (slim in my case). When I look in .xsession-errors, I can see: XIO: fatal IO error 4 (Interrupted system call) on X server ":0.0" after 8690 requests (8690 known processed) with 0 events remaining. XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" after 2823 requests (6 known processed) with 0 events remaining. lxpolkit: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). But I'm not sure what this means or how to debug further. Here's the full .xsession-errors https://pastebin.com/t3AcV7dC Any help would be appreciated. -- There are 10 types of people, those who know binary and those who don't.

Filter out NSP ?
by Erica 20 Nov '23

20 Nov '23

Hello everyone, I know this is an old overdone question. I've had it working in most spots over the years, But I have it on my workspace gridselect and I'm not sure when it reappeared. I've redone my workspaces and topics and NSP has become annoying. My haskell has gotten rusty and I just can't remember what I need. I have this, using my topic space names. The list is the topic workspaces which actually exist plus any extras. Which includes NSP. I'd like to eliminate the NSP workspace from my list. Here is my code. wsgrid = withWindowSet $ \w -> do let wss = W.workspaces w usednames = map W.tag $ wss newnames = filter (\used -> (show used `notElem` (map show myTopicNames))) usednames gridselect workspaceGsConfig (map (\x -> (x,x)) (myTopicNames ++ newnames)) I think I need to go do some haskell challenges and get my fu back. Thank you for any help. Erica

contemporary Gnome Flashback panel integration
by Ferenc Wágner 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

Hi, I'm using Xmonad in a Gnome Flashback session as distributed with Debian bookworm. There are several internet search hits for showing Xmonad log messages via specialized Gnome panel applets (see below), but they're all like ten years old and require the outdated libpanel-applet-4-dev dependency (or something even older), which isn't available for gnome-panel 3.46 or later. What's the current best practice for showing Xmonad log messages under Gnome? Thanks, Feri. https://www.reddit.com/r/xmonad/comments/ft5e4/making_xmonad_log_to_the_gno… https://github.com/alexkay/xmonad-log-applet/ https://web.archive.org/web/20180821093617/http://uhsure.com/xmonad-log-app… https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome https://wiki.haskell.org/Installing_xmonad_log_applet

Broken Xmonad after updates
by Jan Detke 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

Hi, today I moved my xmonad.hs config from $HOME/.xmonad to $HOME/.config/xmonad. After that I was unable to recompile xmonad. I then moved it back into $HOME/.xmonad but the issue was still persistent. It was unable to load the libraries even though I had not changed them at all. After rebooting and updating the system I tried recompiling again with the following result: xmonad --recompile --verbose XMonad is recompiling and replacing itself with another XMonad process because the current process is called "xmonad" but the compiled configuration should be called "xmonad-x86_64-linux" XMonad will use ghc to recompile, because neither "/home/jan/.xmonad/build" nor "/home/jan/.xmonad/stack.yaml" exists. XMonad skipping recompile because it is not forced (e.g. via --recompile), and neither xmonad.hs nor any *.hs / *.lhs / *.hsc files in lib/ have been changed. /home/jan/.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: error while loading shared libraries: libHSxmonad-contrib-0.17.1-2BxpGTW6opKG3sVOzMilq0-ghc9.0.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So far I have read this issue https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/301. I am wondering if this is the only option for me here too. I installed Xmonad via pacman. Best regards Jan

Repeated presses on Mod - [1..9] to toggle between windows in workspace
by Jean-Baptiste Mestelan 03 Sep '23

03 Sep '23

Hello XMonad, How could one extend the behaviour of Mod - [1..9], so that an initial keypress switches to workspace n, but further keypresses toggle between windows in that workspace? (It is the default behaviour of groups in AutoHotKey, and I must admit it has grown on me: it saves one move reaching for Mod-K). Thanks for any Haskell hints.

don't manage windows layout
by Alain Bertrand 14 Jun '23

14 Jun '23

Hello, I have a program which doesn't work nicely with xmonad because of the apparition of popup windows, supposed to be small but who take suddenly half the size of the screen. Is there a layout for xmonad which would (un)manages windows just like, say Openbox ? Thanks for your help Alain

MultiToggle with WorkspaceCursors
by ivan 26 Mar '23

26 Mar '23

Hi, I'm trying to get MultiToggle and WorkspaceCursors to play nicely with each other. Ordinarily, MultiToggle lets you apply a layout transformation to the current workspace without affecting the layouts of other workspaces. E.g. if I toggle workspace 1 to Full layout, it won't impact the layouts being used on workspaces 2, 3, etc. I've started using WorkspaceCursors (XMonad.Actions.WorkspaceCursors) to manage independent groups of workspaces, and noticed that if I use it's functions (e.g. modifyLayer) to navigate between workspaces, layout toggle states seem to bleed across workspaces rather than remaining independent per workspace. For example, starting on workspace 1 with my regular Tall layout, I navigate to workspace 2 and toggle it to Full layout. Then I go back to workspace 1 and see that it, too, has been toggled to Full layout. I can't figure out exactly what's causing this, or how to fix it so that workspace layouts toggle independently. I'm hoping someone here sees what I'm missing. I put together a minimal config to reproduce the problem: https://github.com/ivanbrennan/xmonad-testing/commit/2e9541b0937eee31ae7f30… The config provides two groups (A and B) of nine workspaces. group A: 1A 2A 3A 4A 5A 6A 7A 8A 9A group B: 1B 2B 3B 4B 5B 6B 7B 8B 9B Its layoutHook consists of: myLayoutHook = workspaceCursors cursors . avoidStruts . mkToggle1 FULL $ Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2) Keys super+1 .. super+9 use WorkspaceCursors functions to switch between workspaces within the currently active group. Keys super+ctrl+1 .. super+ctrl+2 use WorkspaceCursors functions to switch between groups A and B. Additionally, keys super+meta+1 .. super+meta+9 use traditional StackSet functions to switch between workspaces 1A .. 9A. I added these for comparison, showing that MultiToggle state is recognized per-workspace when using this form of navigation. I can't figure out the root cause. I suspect the most relevant pieces of code from WorkspaceCursors and MultiToggle are the following: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/e60805bd45ca2feb9ef3335d023da… https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/e60805bd45ca2feb9ef3335d023da… Does anyone know what I might be missing, or how I could debug further to get to the root of the problem? Thanks! Ivan

XM.A.UpdatePointer interferes with XM.A.TiledWindowDragging?
by Ramon Diaz-Uriarte 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

Dear All, When I use XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer, window dragging no longer works. If I do not use XM.A.UpdatePointer, window dragging works. Details: These are (what I think are) the relevant pieces from my xmonad.hs: (...) import XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer import XMonad.Actions.TiledWindowDragging import XMonad.Layout.DraggingVisualizer (...) myConfig myWorkspaces = def { (...) , logHook = refocusLastLogHook <+> logHook def >> updatePointer (0.5, 0.5) (0.1, 0.1) } `additionalKeysP` myKeys2 `additionalMouseBindings` [((mod4Mask, 2), dragWindow)] --drag with mod + center button With the above, window dragging no longer works. However, if I comment out ">> updatePointer (0.5, 0.5) (0.1, 0.1)" window dragging works again. Am I doing something wrong? I've searched, and have not seen this mentioned (TiledWindowDragging is mentioned in relation to UpdatePointer here: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/566#issuecomment-869240906, but it seemed a different issue) I am using xmonad and xmonad-contrib, both from master branches, updated as of today (2023-03-24): latest commits are 386d4e and e60805b for xmonad and xmonad-contrib, respectively.
