Getting _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP set
by Erik de Castro Lopo 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

Hi all, I've got 8 desktops setup in xmonad, but for all of then the value of _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP is 0 whereas I (or rather an application I'm using) needs it to be different. I've tried setting: , handleEventHook = ewmhDesktopsEventHook , startupHook = ewmhDesktopsStartup in my defaultConfig, but that doesn't help. Clues?

2013-02-09 change to XMonad.Prompt.Shell breaks shell completion
by md143rbh7f 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

The following change from 2013-02-09 breaks shell completion for me: hunk ./XMonad/Prompt/Shell.hs 65 + commandToComplete _ c = c It seems to be passing the entire string into compgen in order to get the file completions, but it should only pass the last word. I propose reverting this change. Comments are appreciated. (CCing c.lopez(a)kmels.net, who originally wrote the patch.)

Hello, Just wanted to check if you have any thoughts on this, please? https://github.com/joe9/xmonad-task/blob/master/XMonad/Actions/Task.hs and, the configuration to use it is at: https://github.com/joe9/xmonad-task/tree/master/XMonad/Config This package provides: 1. custom workspaceid display functionality in xmobar and gridSelect. 2. ability to add workspaces at runtime using the servermode. Thanks Joe

Hey all, On the download page at xmonad.org, the link to FreeBSD is wrong. The correct one is this: https://www.freshports.org/x11-wm/hs-xmonad/ :o) Thomas

Hello, I am attaching a patch changing read to Safe.readNote to provide a better error message in XMonad-Layout-IndependentScreens. It requires adding the Safe dependency to xmonad-contrib. Thanks Joe

Workspace Switching Woes
by Sacha Sokoloski 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

Hello, I've got a fairly specific issue which I've seen for example here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13498979/remove-border-from-fullscreen-… but I haven't found any solutions. Essentially, I'm using the compton compositor to, amongst other things, fade in and out of windows. I also use smartBorders and smartSpacing to hide the spacing and the borders on singleton windows. The problem is that If I begin from a singleton window, then when I switch workspaces, these 'smart' modifiers no longer detect the singleton window as a singleton, and so redraw the border and spacing before the window has faded. Thus, at the beginning of the fade, the singleton window jumps a few pixes as the border and spacing are applied. This may sound very particular, but it's actually fairly jarring to see, and I'm not able to use smartBorders and smartSpacing in combination with this. Has anyone perhaps solved this problem or could point in the direction of a solution? Thanks for any help, - Sacha Sokoloski

Fwd: Re: Patch to XMonad.Actions.CycleRecentWS
by Joe M 23 Jan '14

Hello, Please find a patch to XMonad.Actions.CycleRecentWS module of xmonad-contrib. Below is my conversation with the author of the package. Thanks Joe ----- Forwarded message from Michał Janeczek <janeczek(a)gmail.com> ----- Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 18:56:36 +0100 From: Michał Janeczek <janeczek(a)gmail.com> To: Joe M <joe9mail(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: Patch to XMonad.Actions.CycleRecentWS Hi Joe, I agree it's not a good idea to just crash on bad input :), I only wanted to understand what's going on. I think your patch is a clear improvement in this light. Could you do me a big favor and submit the patch to XMonadContrib mainstream? I actually no longer use xmonad at the moment (trying to implement things I liked the most from my custom configuration as Gnome 3 shell plugins instead), and I don't have the full development environment set up, so this would be probably a bit easier for you. Thanks again for the patch.

Xmobar tab completion
by Tyler Smith 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hello, I have been using xmonad for a few weeks. After updating via aptitude on Debian unstable a few days ago, xmobarno longer offers tab-completions. It still works, but I have to ype out the whole command name. The colour of the bar is now black as well. I found some discussion of this on a forum. A solution was to rebuild xmonad. Not knowing Haskell, I'm not sure how to do this. Is there another solution? If not, how do I rebuild xmonad - is this even possible with the Debian package, or do I need to install from source? Thanks, Tyler

Switch to previous workspace layout
by Ruslan Kiianchuk 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hello. Few months ago I became a incredibly happy user of the tiling window manager XMonad. Though I know only the very basics of Haskell, I managed to create a desirable configuration with the help of this post<http://www.nepherte.be/step-by-step-configuration-of-xmonad>and this perfectly documented config for Ubuntu <https://github.com/davidbrewer/xmonad-ubuntu-conf>. Yet I have a question on switching workspace layouts. I'd like the Mod + Shift + Space shortcut to switch to previous workspace instead of the first (default) one. In default config I found only: -- Rotate through the available layout algorithms , ((modm, xK_space ), sendMessage NextLayout) -- Reset the layouts on the current workspace to default , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_space ), setLayout $ XMonad.layoutHook conf) Also looking through XMonad.Layout I could find only NextLayout and FirstLayout messages. No PreviousLayout. Is there any straight forward way to implement that? Thank you. -- Sincerely, Ruslan Kiianchuk.

Issue 557 in xmonad: xmonad grabs keyboard and mouse on focus follows mouse, reproducibly
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 557 by joeyhe...(a)gmail.com: xmonad grabs keyboard and mouse on focus follows mouse, reproducibly http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=557 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. start xmonad on my new lenovo yoga 11s laptop with provided xmonad.hs 2. use laptop for a few hours (I was seeing this at least twice a day) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? This seems to occur when moving the mouse with focus follows mouse, and switching focus from one terminal to another (I have seen it using both xfce4-terminal and the sakura terminal). Xmonad seems to grab all keyboard and mouse events, and not release them, which results in no mouse movements, clicks, or keyboard activity doing anything in either xmonad or the applications on screen. However, ctrl-alt-FN works, and if I use the console to kill all my terminals, this seems to convince xmonad to stop grabbing inputs. I also tried using the console to start xev, and confirmed that it generally saw no X events at all. I think that one time xev reported a stream of X events, as if it were getting all the traffic I had generated while trying to use my locked desktop. Also, at least twice, after a several minute delay xmonad has woken up on its own and dropped the grab. It then seemed to process all the keys I had pressed, which was disconcerting. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.11 on Debian unstable with XFCE panel 4.10.1 Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". It's attached. Note that I have used xmonad for years without seeing this problem. I switched laptops, made some minor changes to my xmonad.hs and now it happens frequently enough to be a real productivity problem. On the other hand, if someone is looking to debug this somehow, I can probably reproduce it reliably enough to try whatever steps make sense to debug it.
