2025-11-11 03:50:09 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Nexilva> Kicker patch doesn't work on debian 13 either. I just tested on debian 13.

2025-11-11 05:25:02 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Nexilva> I'm using Kubuntu 22.04 plus Xmonad as my WM. When I do winkey+p, to start the xmonad program launcher dmenu, when I then input firefox, it doesn't auto complete it. It used to. Firefox is in my path. So is waterfox and thunderbird, but they are no longer auto completing in dmenu. If I type the full binary name myself in dmenu, it launches the program, but no auto completion. What can I do?
2025-11-11 05:25:40 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Nexilva> "dmenu_path|grep firefox" I run this and firefox doesn't show up
2025-11-11 05:36:31 +0100 <geekosaur> is it in your terminal path, or the system path
2025-11-11 05:37:01 +0100 <geekosaur> ubuntu does *not* read your dotfiles to set $PATH, so its path will be /bin:/usr/bin
2025-11-11 05:37:51 +0100 <geekosaur> https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/blob/hilfy-2023/10profile
2025-11-11 05:38:24 +0100 <geekosaur> drop something like that in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10profile
2025-11-11 05:39:31 +0100 <geekosaur> (you probably don't want the GDK_SCALE part; that's because I have QHD monitors and gtk stuff doesn't autodetect the scaling it needs to do)
2025-11-11 05:48:37 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Nexilva> Now I have another problem too. winkey+p used to run dmenu_run, now it brings up KDE switch screen menu
2025-11-11 05:49:28 +0100 <geekosaur> that one's harder, you have to find out where that's bound in KDE and rebind or remove the binding
2025-11-11 05:49:57 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Nexilva> I tried to install debian, shared my home, it didn't work out, so I rebooted back into ubuntu and now these problems have started
2025-11-11 05:50:14 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Nexilva> I think something got messed up by debian in my ~?
2025-11-11 05:51:20 +0100 <geekosaur> yeh, that's usually a good way to mess things up because switching between different versions of programs will generally screw up their config files
2025-11-11 05:51:50 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Nexilva> glady I have everything from ~ backed up on a ZFS mirror. What do I need to restore, do you think?
2025-11-11 05:52:01 +0100 <geekosaur> (or be screwed up by them, which might be why "didn't work out")
2025-11-11 05:52:42 +0100 <geekosaur> tbh I'd restore the whole thing; desktop environments have too many interconnected parts, and if it's a dconf setting you'd need to restore the whole db anyway
2025-11-11 05:55:09 +0100 <geekosaur> minimum will be .config and .local
2025-11-11 06:28:34 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Nexilva> Whew! Everything restored and working once again. I am going to stop messing around and after 3 days, I can't find a way off of 22.04 Kubuntu, so that's where I'm staying. I learned my lesson.
