Comment #2 on issue 402 by ivan.miljenovic: Xmonad becomes unresponsive. No focus changing (using keys or mouse), workspace changing or recompile. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=402 To make it easier, here are the relevant parts of the logs: <nharris> Does anyone ever have issues where the keys don't respond in xmonad? <nharris> well <nharris> xmonad doesn't respond at all <nharris> but the last window with focus does <nharris> (chromium in this case) <nharris> I can't change workspaces or windows <nharris> or reload for that matter <nharris> bleh <nharris> I'm filing a bug report <nharris> I can't find anything existing that matches that <ivanm> I've had that before <ivanm> could never work out what happened <ivanm> luckily, the window that was focussed was xchat, so I could use /exec to kill the current instance of xmonad and start it again <nharris> huh <nharris> I have to go to tty1 and ^C it <nharris> well in any case, I'm about to post the report, brb <nharris> how often does it happen btw? <ivanm> nharris: I've had it happen maybe 2 or 3 times in what, 3 years?

Comment #4 on issue 402 by allbery.b: Xmonad becomes unresponsive. No focus changing (using keys or mouse), workspace changing or recompile. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=402 Try to find out what it's frozen on: attach to it with gdb or a tracer and see what system call it's blocked in. (I'd bet it's stuck writing to xmobar, which will have choked for some reason.) Linux: strace recent Mac OS X and Solaris: dtruss older Solaris: truss *BSD and older Mac OS X: ktrace

Comment #6 on issue 402 by liskni.si: Xmonad becomes unresponsive. No focus changing (using keys or mouse), workspace changing or recompile. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=402 That looks exactly like being stuck on writing to xmobar.

No focus changing (using keys or mouse), workspace changing or recompile. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=402 Daniel.wagner: yes, yes, and yes. I'm away from my computer but would you like to see .xmobarrc when I get back to it?

Comment #10 on issue 402 by daniel.wagner: Xmonad becomes unresponsive. No focus changing (using keys or mouse), workspace changing or recompile. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=402 Yeah, okay, your pipe to xmobar is filling up. You have two choices. One is to use the StdinReader add-on or module or whatever they call it for xmobar (adding it both to the list of commands *and* to the template). The other is to change your xmonad config to use spawn instead of spawnPipe and take xmobar out of your log hook. It would look something like this: main = do xmonad $ withUrgencyHook NoUrgencyHook $ defaultConfig { terminal = "urxvt", modMask = mod4Mask, borderWidth = myBorderWidth, workspaces = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"], normalBorderColor = "#00e0ff", focusedBorderColor = "#f92672", manageHook = myManageHook, keys = myKeys, mouseBindings = myMouseBindings, layoutHook = myLayout, startupHook = spawn "xmobar" } See also http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#XMonad_is_f...

No focus changing (using keys or mouse), workspace changing or recompile. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=402 ostronom, if xmobar (or dzen or some similar consumer) is not running, but you have a log hook, then you are almost certainly filling up a pipe. Get rid of your log hook if you know how, or attach your config here and we can help you do that.
