2024-04-23 01:50:08 +0200 <andrewjf> I'm trying to change my terminal emulator from xterm to alacritty. When I do Mod+q nothing seems to change and doing Mod+Shift+Enter doesn't open a terminal anymore as I uninstalled xterm. When I run xmonad --recompile it says that compilation succeeded and when I run xmonad --restart the command finishes without anything output, but once again
2024-04-23 01:50:09 +0200 <andrewjf> nothing seems to change. The line that I added to my I .xmonad/xmonad.hs to try to set the terminal emulator to alacritty is  myTerminal      =      alacritty. I'm totally stuck so any help would be much apprecated.
2024-04-23 01:50:39 +0200 <andrewjf> *myTerminal = "alacritty"
2024-04-23 01:50:43 +0200 <geekosaur> are you actually using myTerminal anywhere?
2024-04-23 01:51:48 +0200 <geekosaur> https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/blob/hilfy-2023/xmonad.hs#L150 is the kind of thing that actually specifies the terminal; simply defining a `myTerminal` variable won't do anything unless it makes its way into the config record
2024-04-23 01:52:18 +0200 <geekosaur> (note that mine is a bit more complicated than a simple terminal setting)
2024-04-23 01:53:42 +0200 <andrewjf> the only other reference to myTerminal is it says defaults = def { terminal = myTerminal ...
2024-04-23 01:54:08 +0200 <geekosaur> that should work, then.
2024-04-23 01:54:19 +0200 <geekosaur> can you pastebin your whole xmonad.hs?
2024-04-23 01:54:21 +0200 <geekosaur> @where paste
2024-04-23 01:54:21 +0200 <lambdabot> Help us help you: please paste full code, input and/or output at e.g. https://paste.tomsmeding.com
2024-04-23 01:56:25 +0200 <andrewjf> Yeah I can copy and past it unforunately I am still getting used to this stuff so my settup is somewhat broken so it might take my sometime to get it to you
2024-04-23 01:57:11 +0200 <geekosaur> one thing you can do is install xclip, run `xclip -in < ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs`, then paste it into your browser open on a pastebin
2024-04-23 01:57:57 +0200 <andrewjf> Okay ill do that
2024-04-23 02:02:22 +0200sajenim(~sajenim@user/sajenim)
2024-04-23 02:04:39 +0200 <andrewjf> It's behaving somewate weird when to xclip -in < ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs and then to Shift+Insert in the terminal it copy and pastes the xmonad.hs file my when try and right click and paste into pastebin nothing seems to happen
2024-04-23 02:07:03 +0200 <geekosaur> mm, right, I have a clipboard manager that deals with old vs. new clipboards
2024-04-23 02:07:32 +0200 <geekosaur> xclip -in -selection clipboard < ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
2024-04-23 02:07:53 +0200 <geekosaur> (otherwise it uses "primary")
2024-04-23 02:09:41 +0200 <andrewjf> https://paste.tomsmeding.com/73tpg6j9#file-1
2024-04-23 02:10:00 +0200 <andrewjf> Yep the command you gave me work
2024-04-23 02:10:06 +0200 <andrewjf> *worked
2024-04-23 02:13:50 +0200 <geekosaur> that looks like it should work, aside from being problematic by nature (it overwwrites xmonad's defaults with the defaults from whatever version it was written for, which means if we make changes you won't see them)
2024-04-23 02:14:41 +0200 <geekosaur> I would recommend starting from https://xmonad.org/TUTORIAL.html instead
2024-04-23 02:15:13 +0200 <andrewjf> Okay sounds good I'll take a look at the tutorial
2024-04-23 02:19:56 +0200 <geekosaur> oh, another thing you need to watch out for on the BSDs: if you use a display manager (graphical login) your $PATH is probably /bin:/usr/bin, but anything you install from ports will be in /usr/local/bin
2024-04-23 02:20:59 +0200 <geekosaur> it doesn't use the same PATH your terminal does, because it doesn't read your shell dotfiles by default
2024-04-23 02:21:46 +0200 <geekosaur> on ubuntu I drop this in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10profile: https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/blob/hilfy-2023/10profile
2024-04-23 02:30:15 +0200 <geekosaur> (you probably need to doublecheck where it goes, it's been long enough since I used freebsd that I don't recall if config files like that go in /usr/local/etc instead of /etc)
