2021-10-21 14:06:12 +0000 <FOSSHuman[m]> Have any of you guys watched any of DT's videos?, his videos helped me greatly when I was a beginner in XMonad (still am)..
2021-10-21 14:06:28 +0000 <FOSSHuman[m]> He even explains everything in his config in one video..
2021-10-21 14:07:21 +0000 <FOSSHuman[m]> I mainly watched him to just get a sense of what XMonad was and what is possible with it...
2021-10-21 14:13:15 +0000 <FOSSHuman[m]> I think he still uses the older (non-git) version of XMonad and XMonad-Contrib though
2021-10-21 14:18:00 +0000 <liskin> FOSSHuman[m]: https://youtu.be/va-UFNDv08M?t=246 is an example of something that may relay transitive hate our way
2021-10-21 14:19:08 +0000 <liskin> the Haskell community has managed to largely stay away from these issues, but it's a risk
2021-10-21 14:20:38 +0000 <liskin> (transitive hate normally being called guilt by association, but we can use the proper mathematical terms here, right? :-))

2021-10-21 15:34:56 +0000 <mc47> liskin: should we make ?-> a top-level function?
2021-10-21 15:35:30 +0000 <geekosaur> hm, doesn't it need composeOne?
2021-10-21 15:36:03 +0000 <geekosaur> or am I confused about what you're asking?
2021-10-21 15:36:38 +0000 <mc47> I'm talking about the ppPrinters

2021-10-21 16:21:57 +0000 <geekosaur> I already pointed to one potential problem
2021-10-21 16:22:39 +0000 <geekosaur> hm, no, that one puts the ? in the wrong place. still, it's confusing
2021-10-21 16:22:52 +0000 <geekosaur> (ManageHelpers composeOne uses -?>)
2021-10-21 16:23:26 +0000 <geekosaur> something naming something something hardest problem something
2021-10-21 16:41:42 +0000 <alternateved> I am curious, is there any reason that lineNavigation is the default navigation in X.A.Navigation2D module?
2021-10-21 16:43:44 +0000 <alternateved> Seems that with the default lineNavigation, movement between master and two slaves windows gets stuck
2021-10-21 16:45:52 +0000 <geekosaur> "Line navigation and Side navigation feel rather natural but may make it impossible to navigate to a given window from the current window, particularly in the floating layer. Center navigation feels less natural in certain situations but ensures that all windows can be reached without the need to involve the mouse."
2021-10-21 16:46:27 +0000 <geekosaur> there's also a paper presenting the details of the navigation strategies: http://www.cs.dal.ca/~nzeh/xmonad/Navigation2D.pdf
2021-10-21 16:46:47 +0000 <geekosaur> (I just verified it's not a dead link)
2021-10-21 16:46:53 +0000 <alternateved> Whoa, what
2021-10-21 16:48:15 +0000 <Solid> alternateved: lineNavigation shouldn't get stuck in that situation (judging solely from its docs)
2021-10-21 16:48:38 +0000 <Solid> it might if you have gaps (we had that situation here a while ago)
2021-10-21 16:48:49 +0000 <alternateved> I would need to test it once again, since I stopped using it.
2021-10-21 16:49:05 +0000 <alternateved> But yeah, with gaps (created by Spacing) I had that issue.
2021-10-21 16:49:39 +0000 <Solid> the docs mention sideNavigation is being more intuitive for X.L.Spacing stuff
2021-10-21 16:50:00 +0000 <alternateved> Ah, I see. So I guess that is my bias.
2021-10-21 16:50:37 +0000 <Solid> to be fair, one does have to look at the docs of the individual strategies
2021-10-21 16:51:25 +0000 <Solid> (and while I think that that module has excellent documentation, a quick list of all the strategies and their uses at the top level may be nice)
2021-10-21 16:51:50 +0000 <alternateved> I guess explicit mention of the lineNavigation not working so well with Spacing would be good
2021-10-21 16:51:55 +0000 <geekosaur> there's already a list at the top, it just doesn't really say when to use them
2021-10-21 16:52:39 +0000 <geekosaur> and maybe instead of italics they should be links to the specific strategies
2021-10-21 17:02:00 +0000 <geekosaur> ok, filed an issue. whether we want to address it for 0.17 given the short time we have is another question
2021-10-21 17:06:01 +0000 <alternateved> Oh, didn't expect that! Thanks.
2021-10-21 17:07:40 +0000 <geekosaur> good docs are always a good thing. Navigation2D is one of the better ones, but there is clearly room for improvement

2021-10-21 22:22:23 +0000 <eqw> but I didn't touch my ~/.xmonad/xmobar.hs since 2017
2021-10-21 22:23:28 +0000 <eqw> and neither I touched ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs since 2020
2021-10-21 22:24:02 +0000 <geekosaur> conceivably you took an update that changed things, although it'd have had to be really delayed for it to be one of the xmonad changes that affected this
2021-10-21 22:24:46 +0000 <geekosaur> might have been an xmobar update, I think they changed the interaction between override_redirect and lowerOnStart?
2021-10-21 22:25:10 +0000 <geekosaur> sadly liskin's the one who knows xmobar but I think he gave up and went to bed
2021-10-21 22:30:14 +0000 <liskin> I wanted to, but haven't managed to go yet :-)
2021-10-21 22:30:33 +0000 <eqw> so neither xmonad nor xmobar store on disk any info between runs?
2021-10-21 22:30:55 +0000 <liskin> eqw: if you haven't changed config, what did you change? did you upgrade anything?
2021-10-21 22:31:01 +0000 <liskin> or perhaps downgrade? :-)
2021-10-21 22:31:30 +0000 <eqw> liskin: nothing, i believe
2021-10-21 22:32:04 +0000 <liskin> xmonad stores state, but restarting X clears that, so it's as if it didn't
2021-10-21 22:32:42 +0000 <geekosaur> xmonad and xmobar only store their configs. there's some information xmonad passes between running instances during mod-q but if that's sticking around it's a bug
2021-10-21 22:32:54 +0000 <geekosaur> that said you might see if mod-shift-space changes anything
2021-10-21 22:33:05 +0000 <geekosaur> (this will reset layouts)
2021-10-21 22:34:15 +0000 <liskin> I don't think there were changes in xmobar around override_redirect/lowerOnStart lately, it's been that way for ages
2021-10-21 22:34:24 +0000 <eqw> the screen is blinking when i press mod-shift-space. I mean, I see xmobar for a part of second.
2021-10-21 22:34:56 +0000 <geekosaur> yes, it forces a refresh. but this sounds like the layout is broken, then
2021-10-21 22:35:30 +0000 <liskin> and xmonad's handling of this was touched lately, but not in a way that would need config changes, or break it; more the other way around, we made it more tolerant of misconfigurations and fixed bugs
2021-10-21 22:36:01 +0000 <liskin> so the only scenario I can think of that would explain this is eqm upgrading from xmonad 0.11 to xmonad 0.13/0.15 or something :-)
2021-10-21 22:36:21 +0000 <liskin> *eqw I mean
2021-10-21 22:38:04 +0000 <liskin> (and if that's what happened, the solution is to either use "docks" instead of "docksEventHook", or to upgrade to the current git master, which makes "docksEventHook" alone work again)
2021-10-21 22:38:25 +0000 <geekosaur> might be worth seeing your config to see if there are bugs in it (or bugs in xmonad that it uncovers)
2021-10-21 22:38:27 +0000 <eqw> I upgraded my ubuntu from 16.04 to 20.04, but it took place about year ago
2021-10-21 22:38:32 +0000 <geekosaur> @where paste
2021-10-21 22:39:01 +0000 <liskin> eqw: an update of ubuntu doesn't force xmonad to recompile, though
2021-10-21 22:39:12 +0000 <liskin> so it's possible you were running an old binary
2021-10-21 22:39:20 +0000 <liskin> and then something forced it to rebuild today

2021-10-21 22:40:39 +0000ArgoLargo[m](~argolargo@2001:470:69fc:105::1:16b1)
2021-10-21 22:40:58 +0000 <eqw> when the problem appeared I removed the binaries in ~/.xmonad as the had mtime 2021-10-21
2021-10-21 22:41:18 +0000 <eqw> https://termbin.com/0ust is my xmonad.hs
2021-10-21 22:41:22 +0000 <liskin> and ubuntu 16.04 was released before xmonad 0.13, so this seems close to the explanation I had in mind
2021-10-21 22:41:27 +0000dschrempf(~dominik@070-207.dynamic.dsl.fonira.net) (Client Quit)
2021-10-21 22:41:35 +0000 <liskin> 2021-10-21 is today, so that indeed suggests it recompiled today for some reason
2021-10-21 22:42:18 +0000 <liskin> oh, right, you have neither docksEventHook nor docksStartupHook there
2021-10-21 22:42:43 +0000 <liskin> that's indeed a config that should be broken since 0.12-ish
2021-10-21 22:43:08 +0000 <liskin> https://xmonad.github.io/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib-0.16.999/XMonad-Hooks-ManageDocks.html
2021-10-21 22:43:15 +0000 <liskin> main = xmonad $ … . docks . … $ def{…}
2021-10-21 22:43:37 +0000 <liskin> in your case just main = xmonad $ docks $ def
2021-10-21 22:45:21 +0000 <eqw> that helped, thank you!
2021-10-21 22:45:28 +0000 <liskin> good
2021-10-21 22:45:35 +0000 <liskin> and good night, this time for real :-)

2021-10-21 22:50:30 +0000 <Arcanus[m]> <liskin> "and then something forced it..." <- I just had a major update for xmonad today, it also looks like my config may be broken, still waiting on updates to finish, but I expect to not have a working machine here soon
