| 2024-02-22 17:03:52 +0100 | <beastwick> | So, I am really into xmonad now, are there future plans for a wayland port or rewrite? |
| 2024-02-22 17:04:09 +0100 | <L29Ah> | no |
| 2024-02-22 17:04:23 +0100 | <L29Ah> | but you can join waymonad if you feel like it's the way to go |
| 2024-02-22 17:05:09 +0100 | <beastwick> | I am fine with X for the foreseeable future, but I feel like wayland is eventually going to be the target platform in a few years |
| 2024-02-22 17:05:50 +0100 | <vrs> | it's a bit like fusion except it's five years instead of 20 |
| 2024-02-22 17:06:04 +0100 | <beastwick> | fusion? |
| 2024-02-22 17:06:31 +0100 | <vrs> | the joke goes that fusion power is the energy of the future, it was 20 years away in 1970 and it is 20 years away in 2020 |
| 2024-02-22 17:06:45 +0100 | <beastwick> | that's an apt joke |
| 2024-02-22 17:07:21 +0100 | <beastwick> | I tried using wayland a couple of days ago, but it seems like there are some extra things I have to do with a current nvidia gpu, it wasn't as easy as a startx. |
| 2024-02-22 17:07:44 +0100 | <beastwick> | and some of the out of box de's like kde/gnome just fail for me on something like debian |
| 2024-02-22 17:07:56 +0100 | <beastwick> | with wayland, which I thought was really surprising |
| 2024-02-22 17:08:35 +0100 | <liskin> | vrs: lol indeed :-) |
| 2024-02-22 17:08:43 +0100 | <geekosaur> | there aren't concrete plans, but see https://discourse.haskell.org/t/haskell-wlroots-bindings/8426/47 where the community has been updating wlroots as a first step toward a wayland rewrite |
| 2024-02-22 17:09:31 +0100 | <geekosaur> | although I haven't seen any updates in a while |

| 2024-02-22 21:24:53 +0100 | <Guest47> | Hi, I feel a bit stupid… I thought I knew haskell, but I am now completely at lost trying to install/recompile xmonad on ubuntu 22.04. I tried using the apt packages, I tried to compile xmonad from source : it seems to work (I have an xmonad executable) but the "xmonad --recompile" invariably fails with the following message |

| 2024-02-22 21:26:35 +0100 | <Guest47> | I mean the file "/home/sla/.xmonad/stack.yaml" exists |
| 2024-02-22 21:27:44 +0100 | <Guest47> | building from source is not sufficient ? |
| 2024-02-22 21:27:58 +0100 | ft | (~ft@p508db2e6.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) |
| 2024-02-22 21:27:59 +0100 | <geekosaur> | building from source will depend on how you do it |
| 2024-02-22 21:28:31 +0100 | <Guest47> | I followed the instructions on the website's pages… |
| 2024-02-22 21:29:08 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I meant cabal vs. stack vs. nix |
| 2024-02-22 21:29:19 +0100 | <Guest47> | I used stack |
| 2024-02-22 21:29:39 +0100 | <geekosaur> | if you used stack then you need to make sure the stack.yaml is found so --recompile will use stack's build |
| 2024-02-22 21:29:47 +0100 | hightower4 | (~hightower@dh207-80-70.xnet.hr) |
| 2024-02-22 21:30:21 +0100 | <geekosaur> | that said this sounds, hm. lemme check |
| 2024-02-22 21:31:43 +0100 | <geekosaur> | okahy, yes, looks like you have 0.18.0 |
| 2024-02-22 21:32:02 +0100 | <Guest47> | OK… I get the message telling me that the "/home/sla/.xmonad/stack.yaml" does not exists while, to me, it is the one that I used when compiling |
| 2024-02-22 21:32:15 +0100 | hightower3 | (~hightower@dh207-114-78.xnet.hr) (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) |
| 2024-02-22 21:32:23 +0100 | <Guest47> | Yes, 0.18 |
| 2024-02-22 21:32:51 +0100 | <Guest47> | xmonad --version |
| 2024-02-22 21:32:51 +0100 | <Guest47> | xmonad 0.18.0.9 |
| 2024-02-22 21:33:33 +0100 | <geekosaur> | huh, build from git? that wouldn't use stack unless you've done some custom setup; stack would use the xmonad version from the resolver you specified |
| 2024-02-22 21:35:23 +0100 | <Guest47> | I merely followed the instructions there : https://xmonad.org/INSTALL.html#build-using-stack |
| 2024-02-22 21:36:47 +0100 | <geekosaur> | right, I just went through that and it would use a version from a resolver, which would not have a .9 suffix |
| 2024-02-22 21:36:48 +0100 | <Guest47> | Just before that part, they tell you to git clone the xmonad and xmonad-contrib |
| 2024-02-22 21:37:24 +0100 | <geekosaur> | oh, I see, `stack init` sees the checkouts and does the extra setup, sorry |
| 2024-02-22 21:37:28 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I'm not a stack user |
| 2024-02-22 21:37:50 +0100 | <Guest47> | Nor am I, it seems ;) |
| 2024-02-22 21:38:45 +0100 | <geekosaur> | still, the message says it isn't seeing the stack.yaml. the code to check for it looked correct to me though |
| 2024-02-22 21:40:20 +0100 | <Guest47> | I indeed feel it’s an issue between stack and the ghc version installed on my system ? it is where my understanding of the stack/ghc system fails… |
| 2024-02-22 21:40:47 +0100 | <geekosaur> | stack isn't even becoming involved, since xmonad isn't seeing your stack.yaml |
| 2024-02-22 21:41:17 +0100 | <geekosaur> | so it's probably running the ghc installed via apt, which won't be able to see anything installed via stack (this is deliberate) |
| 2024-02-22 21:42:00 +0100 | <Guest47> | I used ghcup to install ghc |
| 2024-02-22 21:42:56 +0100 | <Guest47> | I tried to start from a blank state, removing first all the apt stuff |
| 2024-02-22 21:43:24 +0100 | <geekosaur> | stack won't use that one either unless you installed the stack hook, and it won't see anything installed via stack |
| 2024-02-22 21:46:49 +0100 | <Guest47> | OK, I think I understand what you’re saying. Building from source using stack uses a separate installation of the ghc toolchain (that’s the point of stack, to allow repeatable builds), but xmonad --recompile uses another |
| 2024-02-22 21:48:26 +0100 | <geekosaur> | if xmonad sees stack.yaml then it should use stack to do the rebuild, which will use the correct stack toolchain |
| 2024-02-22 21:48:49 +0100 | <geekosaur> | so the root problem is it's not seeing your stack.yaml for some reason and then using the wrong ghc as a result |
| 2024-02-22 21:49:50 +0100 | <geekosaur> | did you symlink your stack.yaml into your xmonad directory by any chance? you might make sure the symlink is correct in that case |
| 2024-02-22 21:51:53 +0100 | <Guest47> | I found the issue : that is a very stupid one indeed. The https://xmonad.org/INSTALL.html#build-using-stack instructions tell you to git clone and build in .config/xmonad, not .xmonad ! |
| 2024-02-22 21:52:24 +0100 | <Guest47> | so the path is indeed wrong |
| 2024-02-22 21:52:55 +0100 | <geekosaur> | ok, only partially converted to XDG |
| 2024-02-22 21:53:05 +0100 | <geekosaur> | Solid ^^ |
| 2024-02-22 21:53:43 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (if you put your config in ~/.config/xmonad instead of ~/.xmonad then xmonad uses XDG paths) |
| 2024-02-22 21:59:23 +0100 | <Guest47> | Yes!!! I had a conflicting version under ~/.xmonad ! Thank you VERY VERY much !!! |
