Multiple threads
by Ernesto Rodriguez 21 Nov '15

21 Nov '15

Dear List, Is it possible to render things in the XServer with multiple threads? For example: dpy <- asks display myWin <- createSimpleWindow dpy (defaultRootWindow dpy) 0 0 10 10 black white _ <- forkOS $ do -- doStuff with myWin using dpy When I attempt doing things like that, I usually get a deadlock. Is there any way to do this (I know, X is old :( but no harm in asking). Thank you and best regards, Ernesto Rodriguez -- Ernesto Rodriguez Masters Student Computer Science Utrecht University www.netowork.me github.com/netogallo

insertPosition and transient floating windows
by Peter Jones 06 Nov '15

06 Nov '15

I love that insertPosition can keep new windows from going into the master area, but there's one small annoyance w.r.t. transient floating windows. I'm using `insertPosition Below Newer` with `composeOne`. When a password dialog appears, and the master window previously had the focus, the dialog gets focused and is put in the center of the screen. That part is perfect. The problem comes when I dismiss the dialog. At that point I would expect the master window to regain focus, but one of the slave windows does instead. Of course, removing `insertPosition` fixes my issue. This is what I have in my configuration in an attempt to avoid this issue: composeOne [ pure True -?> insertPosition Below Newer , isFloating -?> doCenterFloat ] `isFloating` comes from XMonad.Hooks.FadeWindows and I have it in there hoping to *not* apply `insertPosition` when the current window is already floating. Any suggestions? -- Peter Jones, Founder, Devalot.com Defending the honor of good code

switch workspace on all monitors at once
by Kristopher Keller 29 Oct '15

29 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

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" > ...

Re: [xmonad] Issue 611 in xmonad: XMonad.Util.Run needs to not encode with recent ghc

Comment #3 on issue 611 by arussell...(a)gmail.com: XMonad.Util.Run needs to not encode with recent ghc https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=611 That's intentional. I just used an emoji as an example of a character that is encoded improperly. The issue arises from any multibyte character. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.

Two patches related to XMonad.Prompt
by Norbert Zeh 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hi folks, I really got used to using emacs ido mode, which offers a pretty powerful and intuitive fuzzy matching of completions, so I wanted to port the same to XMonad.Prompt. This required two patches, included in the attached patch bundles: (1) Completions should be sortable by how well they match the current query string. This turned out to be a very easy addition of a 'sorter' function to XPConfig, which is parameterized by the current query string. The default is 'const id', that is, no sorting is done, which is exactly the old behaviour of XMonad.Prompt. (2) A new module XMonad.Prompt.FuzzyMatch that implements the fuzzy matching. The exact rules for matching and sorting of matches are explained in its documentation. As usual, let me know if anything needs to straightened out before these patches can be applied. Cheers, Norbert
