Comment #5 on issue 91 by wirtwolff: DynamicLog causes xmonad to hang when the output pipe is full http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=91 Hmm, unfortunately, looks like this needs to be re-opened. Run either of these configs with latest darcs, or Config.Sjanssen, or anything that spawnPipes and hPutStrLn's to a status bar. Then kill the bar and hold down mod-j till xmonad freezes. Asgaroth worked out can find pipe fd via lsof, so to clear it to restart xmonad can use something like: ls /proc/`pgrep xmonad`/fd/`lsof | grep xmonad | \ egrep '[ur] *FIFO' | sed -n 's/.*\([0-9]\)[ur].*/\1/ p'` and cat the appropriate pipe. import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog {- import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Util.Run import System.IO main = do h <- spawnPipe "xmobar" xmonad $ defaultConfig { layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ xmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn h } } -} -- or equivalent plus kebinding-- main = xmonad =<< statusBar "xmobar" xmobarPP strutkey defaultConfig where strutkey (XConfig {modMask = modm}) = (modm, xK_b) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
