2022-03-12 00:44:22 +0100 <fizzie> It's not uncommon (though unforunate) to have a different PATH environment variable in xmonad than in your shell.
2022-03-12 00:44:31 +0100 <geekosaur> do you remember having to specify a full path earlier because it only looks in /bin and /usr/bin?
2022-03-12 01:04:27 +0100 <ArshiaAghaei[m]> <geekosaur> "do you remember having to..." <- Yeah
2022-03-12 01:04:48 +0100 <ArshiaAghaei[m]> Do I have to set a PATH in a xmonad file?
2022-03-12 01:05:30 +0100 <geekosaur> that is one way to do it. another is to use a wrapper script to start it, which reads your shell dotfiles before exec-ing xmonad

2022-03-12 11:47:51 +0100 <Guest0> Hello everyone. I am a linux desktop noob and I am trying to get xmonad to work with xmobar. The problem I have is I can not seem to get xmobar to show itself. I can run the xmobar program and it seems to run fine, but the bar itself is not visible on my screen. My xmonad config is very simple: "main :: IO ()
2022-03-12 11:47:51 +0100 <Guest0> main = xmonad =<< xmobar def
2022-03-12 11:47:52 +0100 <Guest0>     { modMask = mod4Mask -- Rebind Mod to the Super key
2022-03-12 11:47:52 +0100 <Guest0>     }". Can anyone help me debug this?

2022-03-12 13:59:15 +0100 <geekosaur> who left immediately
2022-03-12 14:00:05 +0100 <geekosaur> I'm not sure how much I trust fullscreening with MultiToggle, in particular it hasn't gotten the recent fullscreen fixes to EwmhDesktops
2022-03-12 14:01:28 +0100 <geekosaur> and the window manager doesn't send fullscreen messages to applications (more correctly apps don't usually check for the window manager applying the fullscreen atom to their windows)
2022-03-12 14:08:14 +0100 <davve> i use ewmh thingy with polybar
2022-03-12 14:08:16 +0100 <davve> works great
2022-03-12 14:08:39 +0100 <davve> geekosaur: which version of xmobar has those fixes?
2022-03-12 14:09:06 +0100 <geekosaur> not xmobar, xmonad
2022-03-12 14:09:16 +0100 <davve> ah sorry, meant xmonad
2022-03-12 14:09:34 +0100 <geekosaur> we reworked ewmh fullscreen supportfor0.17.0, but it was the EwmhDesktops stuff
2022-03-12 14:09:47 +0100 <davve> i might want that
2022-03-12 14:09:51 +0100 <geekosaur> everyone's afraid to touch the HList foo in MultiToggle :)
2022-03-12 14:09:56 +0100 <davve> fullscreen isnt perfect with 0.15 that im on
2022-03-12 14:10:51 +0100 <davve> the initial fullscreen works, but then i have to cycle the windwos in fullscreen a few times for it to hide the borders again
2022-03-12 14:10:56 +0100 <davve> if i unfocus it
2022-03-12 14:11:06 +0100 <davve> hoping that might work a bit better :)
2022-03-12 14:11:21 +0100 <davve> using EwmhDesktops I think
2022-03-12 14:12:38 +0100 <davve> 0.15-4build2
2022-03-12 14:12:45 +0100 <davve> the latest with my default package manager it seems
2022-03-12 14:13:11 +0100 <davve> aww, theres no xmonad package on snap
2022-03-12 14:13:11 +0100 <geekosaur> right, you need 0.17.0 for the EwmhFullscreen fixes that make us fully compliant with EWMH
2022-03-12 14:13:28 +0100 <davve> nice
2022-03-12 14:13:35 +0100 <geekosaur> most distros package stackage, but xmonad 0.17 is only in nightly at present
2022-03-12 14:13:45 +0100 <geekosaur> need to use stack with the nightly resolver, or cabal
2022-03-12 14:13:57 +0100 <davve> ah. ill try cabal. thanks
2022-03-12 14:15:21 +0100 <davve> building 0.17.0
2022-03-12 16:58:10 +0100 <Drishal[m]> <geekosaur> "I'm not sure how much I trust..." <- btw what are some good alternatives to toggle fullscreen with also sending fullscreen signal to apps if available?
2022-03-12 17:00:05 +0100 <geekosaur> apps that are capable will see the EWMH fullscreen atom in _NET_WM_STATE
2022-03-12 17:00:11 +0100liskin[m](~liskinmat@2001:470:69fc:105::768) (Quit: You have been kicked for being idle)
2022-03-12 17:00:22 +0100 <geekosaur> this requires xmonad 0.17.0 for it to be advertised properly
2022-03-12 17:00:28 +0100 <Drishal[m]> geekosaur: so what is the best way to toggle fullscreen in xmonad?
2022-03-12 17:00:36 +0100 <Drishal[m]> say using M-f keybind
2022-03-12 17:00:39 +0100liskin[m](~liskinmat@2001:470:69fc:105::768)
2022-03-12 17:01:08 +0100 <geekosaur> you don't usually do it from xmonad, you doit from the application because it's the app that knows how to do fullscreen for itself
2022-03-12 17:01:53 +0100 <Drishal[m]> geekosaur: aah
2022-03-12 17:01:54 +0100 <geekosaur> for example, if we force fullscreen from xmonad, firefox will fill the screen but won't move its location bar offscreen
2022-03-12 17:02:06 +0100 <Drishal[m]> hmm
2022-03-12 17:02:25 +0100 <Drishal[m]> so basically there is no way to switch to full layout+toggle app to fullscreen
2022-03-12 17:02:31 +0100 <geekosaur> (which I didn;t even know about until I tried it the other day; I use chrome)
2022-03-12 17:03:21 +0100 <geekosaur> right, apps don't accept outside commands to fullscreen themselves forthe mostpart, they expect to doit themselves. and EWMH (and Wayland) are designed that way, with the app instead of the window manager controlling things
2022-03-12 17:04:14 +0100 <Drishal[m]> geekosaur: on some window managers like leftwm you can also fullscreen iirc
2022-03-12 17:04:31 +0100 <Drishal[m]> > <@geekosaur:libera.chat> right, apps don't accept outside commands to fullscreen themselves forthe mostpart, they expect to doit themselves. and EWMH (and Wayland) are designed that way, with the app instead of the window manager controlling things
2022-03-12 17:04:31 +0100 <Drishal[m]> * on some window managers like leftwm you can also fullscreen + let the app use fullscreen mode if available
2022-03-12 17:04:32 +0100 <lambdabot> <hint>:1:1: error: parse error on input ‘<@’
2022-03-12 17:04:47 +0100 <geekosaur> sure, and you can force fullscreen from xmonad too., it just doesn't guarantee the appwill treat itself as fullscreen as oppposed to maximized
2022-03-12 17:05:17 +0100 <geekosaur> the app has to watch for the _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN atom being set on its window
2022-03-12 17:05:32 +0100 <geekosaur> we set this properly in 0.17.0; it's still on the appto recognize it

2022-03-12 19:33:19 +0100 <ArshiaAghaei[m]> Or it will just add it to path
2022-03-12 19:34:05 +0100 <geekosaur> I would just set the whole PATH. it does not append and you can't use `$PATH`;xmonad isnot a shell
2022-03-12 19:35:43 +0100 <ArshiaAghaei[m]> geekosaur: Fair enough

2022-03-12 19:42:50 +0100 <ArshiaAghaei[m]> <geekosaur> "https://paste.tomsmeding.com/..." <- This appends $PATH to XMonad path?
2022-03-12 19:43:50 +0100 <geekosaur> that appends the string you specify to XMonad's $PATH, yes
2022-03-12 19:45:41 +0100 <ArshiaAghaei[m]> Ty, you've been a great help
2022-03-12 19:49:11 +0100 <geekosaur> I preferred using a wrapper script instead;p that way I could source my shell dotfiles instead of duplicating the PATH setting, since having to remember to change it in multiple places is annoying

2022-03-12 21:33:50 +0100 <ArshiaAghaei[m]> <geekosaur> "I preferred using a wrapper..." <- How do I do that?
2022-03-12 21:37:14 +0100 <fizzie> What I do is, have a ~/.xsession file that sets PATH, various other things, and in the end `exec`s Xmonad; then I just pick the "Custom Xsession" (or whatever it's called) option from the display manager.
2022-03-12 21:38:57 +0100 <fizzie> (Although some of these newfangled things don't *have* that option and require you to come up with your own .desktop file.)
2022-03-12 21:42:37 +0100 <geekosaur> yeh, in my case I just point my .desktop file to a script instead of to xmonad directly. https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/tree/skkukuk look at start-xmonad and start-xmonad.desktop, but in your case you'll want to source .profile or .bash_profile directly (I split out $PATH and a few other things into .bsa-common, see https://github.com/geekosaur/dotty for the sordid details)
