2021-10-03 06:47:09 +0000 <Solid> you could try changing the stack resolver to match your system GHC's and then force stack to use that

2021-10-03 14:34:15 +0000 <mc47[m]> Is there any issues I could work on? Otherwise I'd try and update the DynamicLog references
2021-10-03 14:39:59 +0000 <Solid> probably not even that much that still needs work, tbh; once we merge #605 only the EWMH stuff and possibly the extensible state non-unique keys remain
2021-10-03 14:40:33 +0000 <Solid> the former would be really nice to have, the latter seems like it could also wait until the next release

2021-10-03 14:41:36 +0000 <Solid> (and if all else fails I would also be in favour of delaying the EMWH stuff until the next release; better get something out than treading water for another 6 months :))

2021-10-03 21:28:12 +0000 <geekosaur> it should be pretty stable; a number of people are running it currently, because we haven't had a release in so long and it has some major improvements

2021-10-03 22:01:38 +0000 <geekosaur> you might. check the changelog, it will say any backward compat issues: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/CHANGES.md https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/blob/master/CHANGES.md
2021-10-03 22:02:05 +0000 <geekosaur> actually we should list the XDG changes in the latter as potentially breaking, I think
2021-10-03 22:03:30 +0000 <geekosaur> since some corner cases behave differently now
2021-10-03 22:04:43 +0000 <geekosaur> we mostly try to avoid breaking older configs because people still pass around configs from the 0.9 days and expect them to work :)
2021-10-03 22:05:20 +0000 <geekosaur> and folks like byorgey who mostly have used the same xmonad.hs for many versions
2021-10-03 22:06:22 +0000 <geekosaur> (heck, I tweak things every few weeks but my basic xmonad.hs is unchanged since 2008 or thenabouts)
2021-10-03 22:13:34 +0000 <cjb> reading those changes, why is the binary going into XDG_CACHE_DIR? the temporary files make sense because if they are deleted it doesn't matter
2021-10-03 22:14:11 +0000 <geekosaur> the binary is also regenerated if it's not there
2021-10-03 22:14:45 +0000 <geekosaur> the only file that is really required is xmonad.hs (and any lib files it might use)
2021-10-03 22:15:12 +0000 <cjb> fair enough, just means login will take longer for people how have XDG_CACHE_DIR pointed to a tmpfs

2021-10-03 22:15:45 +0000 <geekosaur> in my experience, even with a fairly complex xmonad.hs it takes about 2 seconds to compile

2021-10-03 22:16:30 +0000 <geekosaur> and that's on a slow, low memory laptop
2021-10-03 22:18:02 +0000 <cjb> my config takes 14s to recompile, but my computer is from the dark ages so probably doesn't matter too much. also I can work around this change by setting XMONAD_CACHE_DIR

2021-10-03 22:27:31 +0000 <geekosaur> it may be a specific application that crashes if the windows get too small
2021-10-03 22:28:19 +0000 <geekosaur> that said, such applications should really set the minimum and maximum window sizes if applicable instead of crashing
2021-10-03 22:28:50 +0000 <geekosaur> I think we obey those, at least
2021-10-03 22:30:43 +0000 <geekosaur> I know we look at them because if min, max, and default window size are all set the same, we autofloat at that size

2021-10-03 22:33:04 +0000 <Archanus[m]> geekosaur: I'm not entirely sure what theyre talking about, I', assuming manual resizing the window, but I'm unable to replicate the problem
2021-10-03 22:33:46 +0000 <geekosaur> yeh, that's how I read it as well
2021-10-03 22:39:12 +0000 <geekosaur> the question may be whether we properly obey WM_NORNMAL_HINTS
2021-10-03 22:39:48 +0000 <geekosaur> although I note ICCCM says the client has to accept the size the wm gives it, the size hints are only hints
2021-10-03 22:39:56 +0000 <geekosaur> so this may be a buggy client
2021-10-03 22:40:09 +0000 <geekosaur> (tiling window managers often provoke such bugs)
2021-10-03 22:41:35 +0000 <geekosaur> in any case, forcing a minimum in resize requires copying and reimplementing the resize code
2021-10-03 22:42:01 +0000 <geekosaur> there's no easy way to hook into it because it's spread over multiple events
2021-10-03 22:42:44 +0000 <geekosaur> in any case, they seem to have left
2021-10-03 22:43:15 +0000 <Archanus[m]> oh, I missed that, guess I didn't answer them fast enough
2021-10-03 22:44:07 +0000 <Archanus[m]> so, since I got you here, looking back on the previous conversation a bit, what would be the correct way of having xmonad.hs restart xmobar automatically?

2021-10-03 22:59:43 +0000 <geekosaur> probably to use the new StatusBar stuff since it does what people tend to expect
2021-10-03 23:00:01 +0000 <geekosaur> (it's in git xmonad/xmonad-contrib)
2021-10-03 23:00:25 +0000 <geekosaur> the old way assumed you were feeding it over a pipe so the old one would go away automatically on mod-q when xmonad did
2021-10-03 23:02:28 +0000 <geekosaur> StatusBar requires you to use its mechanisms for starting bars so it knows what to kill on restart
2021-10-03 23:04:58 +0000 <Archanus[m]> i' reading through the link now...not making all that much sense yet as I think I'm still running an older version of xmonad
2021-10-03 23:05:14 +0000 <Archanus[m]> yah, all my xmobars are running through pipes from xmonad
2021-10-03 23:06:43 +0000 <geekosaur> do they all use StdinReader?
2021-10-03 23:07:05 +0000 <geekosaur> because without that they won't be reading to notice the EOF when xmonad goes away
2021-10-03 23:07:08 +0000 <Archanus[m]> i'm not ready to upgrade quite yet I don't think, I ONLY just got my system set up to about 90% of what I want, it's basically useable now except for a few little things I haven't been able to figure out yet
2021-10-03 23:07:17 +0000 <Archanus[m]> geekosaur: yes
2021-10-03 23:08:06 +0000 <Archanus[m]> I think so
2021-10-03 23:08:39 +0000 <Archanus[m]> I'm actually a super noob still, I've learned a lot, but still have a long way to go so please bear with me
2021-10-03 23:11:19 +0000 <geekosaur> I'm not much of an expert on xmobar, but I do know you need StdinReader both in the Run stuff and in the template or xmobar will ignore it
2021-10-03 23:13:31 +0000 <Archanus[m]> huh, I didn't know that, let me see if that works or if I jsut broke my system again

2021-10-03 23:17:18 +0000 <Archanus[m]> yeah, stdinreader just makes so the bar won't spawn
2021-10-03 23:18:12 +0000 <geekosaur> hm. can you check the log? (this is usually .xsession-errors but may be in journald / journalctl)
2021-10-03 23:19:16 +0000 <geekosaur> if you run startx from the console then you'll need to switch back to the text console to see the errors
2021-10-03 23:25:13 +0000 <Archanus[m]> hmm nothing is popping out at me from journalctl...I'll probably have to fiddle with things a bit to see what changed. it will probably have to be after work though... I can't get into it too deep right now
2021-10-03 23:26:08 +0000 <geekosaur> you could also try running it from a terminal to see what error messages it spits out
2021-10-03 23:26:11 +0000 <Archanus[m]> but this seems like the right place to get some support unless I am mistaken?
2021-10-03 23:26:23 +0000 <geekosaur> yes
2021-10-03 23:26:37 +0000 <geekosaur> just not really from me :(
2021-10-03 23:26:50 +0000 <geekosaur> maybe someone else will show up who can help more
2021-10-03 23:26:56 +0000 <Archanus[m]> I have like 3 issues and 2 things which would be nice to figure out how to do
2021-10-03 23:27:31 +0000 <Archanus[m]> no worries, you've already helped me a lot, thank you
2021-10-03 23:27:52 +0000 <Archanus[m]> at least in getting me pointed in the right direction of where to look
