Comment #1 on issue 437 by Braden.S...@gmail.com: XMonad randomly crashes when a web-browser is running http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=437 I may have encountered this issue over the weekend. When I returned to my work machine this morning after the weekend, xmonad had crashed and so had my two Chromium windows. Running the Google remix of Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64, GHC 6.12.1. Could this be a 6.12.1 bug? What version of GHC were you using, OP?

Comment #3 on issue 437 by daniel.w...@gmail.com: XMonad randomly crashes when a web-browser is running http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=437 GHC 6.12.3 here, and also an avid Internet browser (much to my employer's chagrin). I definitely do not have this problem. To help us track it down, could you show us the output of .xsession-errors after a crash? Can you try a stock xmonad.hs and see if the problem persists? (e.g. import XMonad; main = xmonad defaultConfig)
Comment #4 on issue 437 by atten...@gmail.com: XMonad randomly crashes when a web-browser is running http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=437 The xmonad.errors file is empty, otherwise I'd have pasted it here. I'll try out XMonad without the xmonad.hs file I am currently using.
Comment #5 on issue 437 by atten...@gmail.com: XMonad randomly crashes when a web-browser is running http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=437 The xmonad.errors file is empty, otherwise I'd already have pasted it here. I'll try out XMonad without the xmonad.hs file I am currently using.
Comment #6 on issue 437 by atten...@gmail.com: XMonad randomly crashes when a web-browser is running http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=437 Seems like XMonad (0.9.2) isn't crashing when using the attached config file. Attachments: xmonad.hs 9.7 KB

Comment #9 on issue 437 by daniel.w...@gmail.com: XMonad randomly crashes when a web-browser is running http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=437 I'm going to suggest (again) taking a look at .xsession-errors after a crash (but before restarting X). If that doesn't suggest anything, then perhaps the most helpful thing to do would be doing a binary search on your config to find which parts are relevant to the crash and which are not. As a first hotspot to try removing, I would suggest trying a config without dzen or logging; however, your config has a large enough mix of features that it's very difficult to say exactly what the problem is without a bit more legwork.
Comment #10 on issue 437 by atten...@gmail.com: XMonad randomly crashes when a web-browser is running http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=437 Both of you suggested to check my ".xsession-errors", do you mean my X.org logfile ? If the answer is yes, there's nothing relevant in there...
Comment #11 on issue 437 by daniel.w...@gmail.com: XMonad randomly crashes when a web-browser is running http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=437 There should be a file literally called .xsession-errors in your home directory that interleaves the stderr output from everything started in .xinitrc.
Comment #12 on issue 437 by atten...@gmail.com: XMonad randomly crashes when a web-browser is running http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=437 Ah, in my case that's Slim's logfile. Here is the relevant part: Attachments: slim.log 800 bytes
