Issue 602 in xmonad: xmonad hangs when clickJustFocuses = False and the user clicks outside of the focused window while a submap is active.

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 602 by untfu...(a)gmail.com: xmonad hangs when clickJustFocuses = False and the user clicks outside of the focused window while a submap is active. https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=602 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Set clickJustFocuses = False 2. Activate a submap or submapDefault (XMonad.Actions.Submap) 3. Click outside of the currently focused window. What is the expected output? I'm not sure if expected output is defined, but when clickJustFocuses = True, any clicks are ignored until after the submap is exited, after which the focus is brought to the most recently clicked window. Ideally, one might be able to specify that a click aborts the submap, instead, or to specify a submap action resulting from a click. What do you see instead? XMonad hangs irrecoverably. Keybindings and clicks have no effect whatsoever. Any programs active in the background (e.g. music) continue as without user input. Please use labels and text to provide additional information. I have attached a minimal xfce config (I have not tested this outside of xfce) that reproduces the error. The steps for reproducing are: 1. Mod+l (activates testSubmap) 2. Click outside of the currently focused window Remarks: the error also occurs if testSubmap is made into an empty map.

xmobar crash analysis
by Gauthier Östervall 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Hi all! I hope it's ok to ask xmobar questions here, it fills related enough. Frankly, I don't know if my problem is caused by xmobar or xmonad. Every now and then, maybe every other day, my xmobar crashes. It just disappears, leaving a gap where I can see my background picture. The only way to make it reappear is to log out and in. Restarting xmobar from a terminal (same command as in my xmonad.hs) starts the process, says that "Fields missing from config defaulted: overrideRedirect,persistent", but the bar does not appear. Mod+q doesn't help. What I wonder is how I find crash and debug info about this. /var/log/syslog doesn't mention anything about xmobar, xmonad.errors is empty. What is going on? Thanks, Gauthier

Issue 599 in xmonad: documentation on building xmonad is missing

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 599 by Ian...(a)gmail.com: documentation on building xmonad is missing https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=599 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. http://xmonad.org/ 2. http://xmonad.org/download.html 3. run darcs get commands 4. http://xmonad.org/intro.html 5. This only explains how to build sources from hackage. 6. Look in the README file of the darcs sources. 7. Same as #5, except it also says how to install from a tarbal from http://code.haskell.org Also in the README is "Building: Building is quite straightforward" ...

WaylandMonad
by Auke Booij 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

A few weeks ago, I sent in a Google Summer of Code application for the haskell.org organization to work on porting Xmonad to wayland. The haskell organization has asked me to find a mentor for my application, which is the main reason for this email. If you are 1. an adult (sorry kids, Google's rules) 2. experienced with the Xmonad source 3. interested in wayland 4. willing to spend some time this summer on mentoring me then please contact me or someone in the haskell community to discuss mentoring options. The deadline for proposal matching is the 24th of April, so please contact me within this week (or better yet, as soon as possible). Without a mentor, I cannot get accepted for GSoC. I am already up to speed on wayland, so I think any Xmonad developer with some free time would make a great mentor. I attached my GSoC application below. Any comment on making Xmonad work on wayland is welcome as well. My current plan is to fork Xmonad and replace all the X bits by wayland bits - see also my proposal below. Greetings, Auke. Abstract === XMonad has, for a long time, been a flagship product of the Haskell community. With the arrival of wayland, XMonad is bound to look stuck in the past, and it's time for a port. Thanks to my previous work on wayland-related haskell libraries, this is now a viable project. Proposal === Background --- X11 has long been the de facto standard way for applications to display graphical user interfaces on the screen. For various reasons, a new project called wayland has been started, that can be seen as a successor of the X ecosystem, or at least can be seen as something that will play a very important role. Among others, GNOME is already working on wayland support, and plans to make it fully supported by version 3.18. This shows the relevance of wayland. XMonad is a flagship product of the Haskell community that is often cited as an example of the applicability of Haskell: its real world value. XMonad is a compositor (aka window manager) for the X11 ecosystem. In the new wayland ecosystem, one cannot reuse X11 compositors: they need to be partially rewritten. Goal --- I intend to fork XMonad and make it into a wayland compositor. Since the general ideas behind the X11 and the wayland protocol are not too different, this should be doable: we are still working with pointers and windows and input and output and renderings and messages. However, the wayland setup is technically very different from X11, since the central X11 server has been replaced by the compositor itself, and this means some very foundational code will need to be rewritten. I am the author of hayland [1], the haskell bindings to the wayland C library, as well as haskell-xkbcommon [2], the haskell bindings to the xkbcommon C library. With these two projects in place, the time is ripe for a wayland compositor written in haskell: the preliminaries are mostly there. As part of this project, I will have to invest some time in these two bindings projects as well (since they are quite new and have had little testing). For this reason, I intend to keep the scope of this project limited, and focus on getting some version of XMonad running on Wayland. I do not intend to change the architecture of XMonad, except wherever this would not require much more investment of time, and only as wished by the community. In other words: if you have anything that I should change about XMonad, and it is easy to switch to this new thing, then I'll use it. Any serious architectural changes will need to take place in a later stage. Deliverables --- - A working wayland compositor written in wayland, based on XMonad - Documentation of the source code (i.e. a technical document), user documentation (where this differs from XMonad) - Roadmap for further work: how should this project be continued into a next iteration of the XMonad project? Roadmap --- April/May: properly work my way through the XMonad source, and document things that will need changing June: Hack until it's working June+July: More hacking, also documentation August: Prepare a proper release, clean up code Bio --- I am currently studying for a Master of Logic in Amsterdam, and have a Master of Advanced Studies in Mathematics from Cambridge, UK, a BSc in Applied Mathematics and a BSc in Electrical Engineering (both from TU Delft). I have previously successfully finished GSoC (2010, with Gentoo) and SOCIS (in 2013, with PyBRML) (SOCIS is a GSoC-like program managed by the European Space Agency). I am the author of hayland [1], the haskell bindings to the wayland C library, as well as haskell-xkbcommon [2], the haskell bindings to the xkbcommon C library. The name of this fork is up for discussion. [1] https://github.com/tulcod/haskell-wayland [2] https://github.com/tulcod/haskell-xkbcommon
