Re: [xmonad] Using xmonad 0.10 from cabal in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric

Hi, I've managed to get this to work by using my .xsession: I've had a problem using it until I realized I need to stop using lightdm and switch to some other login manager, like SLiM or even GDM. Which have a "custom session" option. Thank you, On Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 16:08, Eyal Erez wrote:

Hi,

I've just recently upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10. I've successfully managed to get xmonad to work following the instructions on haskell.org:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome#Ubuntu_Oneir...

However, the xmonad version that comes with Ubuntu is 0.9.2, I would like to use the latest. I've followed the instructions on xmonad.org and installed xmonad via cabal:

http://xmonad.org/intro.html

So, now I have a ~/.cabal directory which contains a fully built version of xmonad. However, I'm not sure how to put that into the Gnome setup mentioned above.

Has anyone been able to get that to work?

Thank you,
