Hi! It could be because you never actually write to xmobar's stdin. You start the process and store the handle in `xproc` - but it is never used. You need to modify xmonad's logHook to log to xmobar's stdin - something like this: , logHook = logHook myConfig <+> dynamicLogWithPP myXmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc } In order to get it all to compile you'll probably need to also move xmobar startup from `myStartupHook` into `main` before actual xmonad startup -- Best regards, Platon Pronko PGP 7A2CB94E On 2022-04-08 18:56, Michael Needham wrote:
Hello Again: Still struggling with my xmobar config and workspaces issues. Figured out something I don't quite get why it is not working, but in xmobarrc I am using ", RUN StdinReader" (and have tried the UnsafeStdinReader variation as well) and this causes xmobar not to run at startup again. If I start xmobar from the terminal it runs and does not error. in my xmobar.hs it is called via xproc inside my main do block.
I am attaching both files as they appear today.
Thank you guys for all the help so far. Please do tell me if I am missing some imports or something I need! Also all the fonts listed are installed and verified as in my fc-cache on the EOS system.
