Hello,
A few notes about the problem I described below. I referred to tab completion in xmobar - of course I should have said dmenu. The problem (dmenu lacking tab completion of any sort) persists, even after completely purging all xmonad and haskell packages from Debian and reinstalling. A similar problem is described here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/dmenu-4175435436/
From the forum post, the problem was resolved, but without any clear suggestions as to how or why. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
How are you calling dmenu? I think you might need to use "dmenu_run", NOT just "dmenu" (and this is something that changed sometime in the past). This is what I have now in my xmonad.hs , ((modMask, xK_p ), spawn "dmenu_run") If you change your xmonad.hs you will need to do xmonad --recompile xmonad --restart (That said, I find dmenu is sometimes too slow, and I end up using gmrun and typing the command and completing in there). Best, R.
Thanks,
Tyler

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?
