Tile all windows
by Mauricio 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi, How can I configure xmonad so that all windows are born tiled (like after mod-t)? I think I was able to figure out I should use manageHook, but I wasn't able to figure out how. Thanks, Maurício

Issue 235 in xmonad: Install problem finding X11 libs on OSX Leopard
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 06 Nov '08

Issue 235: Install problem finding X11 libs on OSX Leopard http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=235 New issue report by hitesh.jasani: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Verify that you have the X11 libs in /usr/X11/lib -- % locate libX11 2. Try to install Haskell X11 package 3. run configure -- % runhaskell Setup.hs configure 4. configure bombs out saying that it couldn't find the X11 libs What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expecting success, instead see an error. checking for X... no configure: error: X11 libraries not found, so X11 package cannot be built See `config.log' for more details. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Haskell X11 1.4.4, GHC 6.10.1, Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.5 Please provide any additional information below. For what it's worth, I've documented the various things I tried and what finally worked (setting LDFLAGS) in this blog entry. http://www.jasani.org/2008/11/05/error-installing-haskell-x11- libs If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component- Contrib' below.

darcs patch: SshShell prompt
by Matt Brown 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Hello all, attached is a new module, XMonad.Prompt.SshShell, which allows you to launch X apps directly from xmonad (via passwordless ssh). There are two prompts defined in this module: sshShellPrompt -- given a login (user@host), prompts for a program and arguments to run remotely sshSelectLoginPrompt -- prompts for a login, then creates an sshShellPrompt for that login This is adapted from XMonad.Prompt.Shell (as you might have guessed), by simply tweaking each function to use ssh where necessary. Completion works (both command and filename), with one caveat: for each completion (i.e., each keypress), a new ssh session is spawned. So it's pretty laggy (not too bad over lan, haven't tried yet for long latency connections). Should be able to improve upon that by using spawnPipe, which I'll be working towards. Another note: I've copied two functions from XMonad.Prompt.Shell verbatim: escape, and isSpecialChar. They aren't exported, and I didn't want to mess with Shell prompt in this patch. I'll clean that up too later, if this patch is accepted. -matt

xmobar, dual-head, and avoidStruts
by Andrew Sackville-West 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

I finally got around to tweaking my xmonad.hs and had to start using avoidStruts but, it doesn't work with xmobar with a Static position. Works fine with the other positions: Top, Bottom, etc, but with Static, xmonad seems to not know it exists. I like a status bar across the top of both screens. I had been using a Static xmobar with the width set appropriately. But now, that doesn't work. :( I could split my status bar information across two instances of xmobar, no big deal, but to get the second instance to display on the second screen, it seems I have to set its position to Static and then it gets ignored again. So, I'm looking for one of these solutions: 1. a way to get xmonad to recognize a Static position xmobar 2. a way to get a second xmobar instance to show on a different screen without using Static or 3. give up and set up some manual gaps (which I guess is still feasible from looking at Byorgey's config). and hints? Thanks A

darcs patch: generic menu and window bringer
by Travis B. Hartwell 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've had to make some patches for XMonadContrib in order to support the new Gtk replacement for dmenu I have written: http://github.com/Nafai77/utilities/tree/master/src/gtkmenu.hs Screenshot here: http://www.travishartwell.net/switcher.png I use these changes by doing this in my xmonad.hs: import XMonad.Actions.WindowBringer (gotoMenu') Then, for example, in a key binding: ("M-w", gotoMenu' "gtkmenu" ) Please let me know if there is a better way to make this generic and clean it up. What I have here compiles and works, so I thought I would submit it. Thanks for the great software and all the help on #xmonad! - -- Travis B.

Offtopic: Get current volume
by Dominik Bruhn 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Hy, the only external programm im using in xmobar is currently a script which runs "aumix" to get my current volume of my alsa-device. Do you know trick to get the current volume from haskell directly (from a /proc or /sys file for example or via a lib) without spawning a external program? Thanks -- Dominik Bruhn mailto: dominik(a)dbruhn.de
