2021-02-08 14:30:35 +0100 <Solid> geekosaur: I just tested it again, and the release definitely works (I did a `cabal install xmonad --lib xmonad --lib xmonad-contrib')
2021-02-08 14:31:10 +0100 <geekosaur> interesting
2021-02-08 14:31:12 +0100 <Solid> will try to test this with git tonight
2021-02-08 14:31:43 +0100 <geekosaur> maybe I should try this again with the released version. but I'm kinda leery of messing with what is now a working setup :)
2021-02-08 14:32:01 +0100 <geekosaur> (after having to fix a small nit this morning)
2021-02-08 14:32:27 +0100 <Solid> hah, very understandable :)
2021-02-08 14:33:49 +0100 <geekosaur> especially since the obvious doesn't tend to work (moving dirs around breaks cabal, iirc)

2021-02-08 14:37:02 +0100 <geekosaur> so meantime I removed the git X11 from  my project and it does indeed build. sigh
2021-02-08 14:37:13 +0100 <geekosaur> so maybe I'll mess with this today
2021-02-08 14:37:57 +0100 <geekosaur> hm, actually cabal should be mostly ok with moving dirs around since it's not installing stuff under here, it's installing to its stash area which isn't moving. I can hope
2021-02-08 14:41:00 +0100 <geekosaur> aaaand it completed. suppose I should repeat with this in an XDG dir and see how that works in git (should override my v1 setup in ~/.xmonad)
2021-02-08 14:43:16 +0100geekosaursuddenly wonders if the instructions in the README are out of date and it takes more than autoreconf to prep a repo for build
2021-02-08 14:43:34 +0100 <geekosaur> I mean they already assume cabal 1.x/2.x
2021-02-08 14:49:32 +0100 <geekosaur> moved it and it's rebuilding everything. at least it didn't crash because everything was in the wrong place >.>

2021-02-08 15:29:32 +0100 <geekosaur> success, I think. still rather slow though to use cabal "properly" in v2 mode with a build script, for some reason the install step is slow even though it should just be linking an existing file from the cabal build step.

2021-02-08 16:19:38 +0100 <mc47> Does setting `_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1` fix the java problem for all scenarios, or are there some exceptions?
2021-02-08 16:20:42 +0100 <mc47> Since we have XMonad.Util.Hacks now, it might be a good idea to add the java hack(s?) there
2021-02-08 16:21:42 +0100Liskni_sihas no idea
2021-02-08 16:22:00 +0100 <Liskni_si> I still run with both this env var and setwmname LG3D, and I don't use java apps very often anyway :-/
2021-02-08 16:22:39 +0100 <mc47> Me neither, I only use it with Isabelle/jEdit (since it's the only reasonable way to use Isabelle/HOL without going crazy) and it seems to do the job
2021-02-08 16:23:09 +0100 <mc47> Ah yes I tried intelliJ for like a day (never again) and it also solves the problem there too

2021-02-08 16:24:44 +0100 <Liskni_si> the LG3D hack was probably only relevant back when people actually used binary Java from Sun
2021-02-08 16:24:54 +0100 <Liskni_si> and there is no Sun any more
2021-02-08 16:25:33 +0100 <Liskni_si> but I wouldn't be suprised if some academic still used the same stuff they used 15 years ago because it still does the job :-)
2021-02-08 16:25:42 +0100 <Liskni_si> (which means they wouldn't upgrade xmonad either)
2021-02-08 16:27:39 +0100 <mc47> Huh, so I guess there's nothing to lose if we add it there

2021-02-08 18:01:03 +0100 <geekosaur> so far, so good…
2021-02-08 18:04:10 +0100 <geekosaur> mc47, the LG3D hack is specific to Oracle Java, the _JAVA_AWT_VM_NONREPARENTING is specific to openjdk, other implementations may have their own ways
2021-02-08 18:05:27 +0100 <Liskni_si> I'd expect even Oracle java to support _JAVA_AWT_VM_NONREPARENTING by now. (But I'm not going to check that.)
2021-02-08 18:05:37 +0100 <geekosaur> I wouldn't, because Oracle
2021-02-08 18:05:59 +0100 <geekosaur> not like they support awesome or xmonad
2021-02-08 18:07:25 +0100 <geekosaur> anyway I did a clean startup and didn't have to wait for it to rebuild anything or even the odd slowness of the first time it made the exe link, so I guess it's working and I can document both my versions
2021-02-08 18:07:25 +0100 <Liskni_si> it'd be incredibly silly to diverge from openjdk so much
2021-02-08 18:08:11 +0100 <geekosaur> you seriously think Oracle thinks that way? their way of thinking is that openjdk should not diverge from Them so much
2021-02-08 18:11:07 +0100 <geekosaur> (openjdk is not the inheritor of Sun's IP rights in Java; Oracle bought the remains of Sun specifically for the Java IP)
2021-02-08 18:13:31 +0100 <mc47> geekosaur, do you think the LG3D hack should also be added?
2021-02-08 18:14:32 +0100 <mc47> Why do things get really confusing really fast? It's so weird that this bug exists in the first place
2021-02-08 18:14:32 +0100 <geekosaur> that one's pretty much legendary (and about as relevant to the modern world :)  — I suspect anyone who cares is no longer using a reparenting wm at all
2021-02-08 18:14:57 +0100 <geekosaur> oh, I know why the bug exists (and neither hack works with mono which has the same problem)
2021-02-08 18:15:23 +0100 <mc47> I'm intrested, why?
2021-02-08 18:15:29 +0100 <geekosaur> the problem is cross-platform window toolkits, because Windows uses screen-relative positioning but X11 is window-relative
2021-02-08 18:16:21 +0100 <geekosaur> most cross-platform toolkits emulate Windows, so they have to translate X11 window-relative positions to screen-relative. but this means traversing back to the root window, which needs an extra step if the window has been reparented
2021-02-08 18:16:33 +0100 <geekosaur> and if that step is present it gets confused if windows are *not* reparented
2021-02-08 18:17:25 +0100 <geekosaur> (mono definitely emulates windows since it's .net emulation for linux/unix)
2021-02-08 18:18:19 +0100 <mc47> hmm, I see
2021-02-08 18:18:27 +0100 <mc47> thanks!

2021-02-08 19:20:53 +0100 <Liskni_si> makes me wonder why there's no XMonad.Hook.Reparent yet :-)
2021-02-08 19:21:55 +0100 <geekosaur> right now there are things intermixed that would want the frame window vs. the client window, that would need to be untangled for reparenting to work
2021-02-08 19:22:22 +0100 <geekosaur> it'd be a fairly big change to core and as big or bigger for some contribs (Decoration comes to mind)
2021-02-08 19:22:59 +0100 <geekosaur> Decoration might be especially bad because most uses would want to use the frame window… but then there's how Tabbed uses it
2021-02-08 19:24:29 +0100 <Liskni_si> oh if it can't be done in a hacky way then nevermind :-0)

2021-02-08 19:35:29 +0100 <Solid> I guess no one who uses xmonad is invested enough in java to go through the pain :)
2021-02-08 19:37:37 +0100 <Liskni_si> I remember that a couple years ago I had a LD_PRELOAD wrapper to fix josm (which uses AWT I think) not working properly with xinerama
2021-02-08 19:37:59 +0100 <Liskni_si> so I was somewhat invested, but didn't really need to investigate the reparenting route

2021-02-08 20:28:46 +0100 <Liskni_si> if you invoke xmonad via startx or xinit, then its stdout/stderr is in ~/.xsession-errors and you can just "print" or "io $ print …"

2021-02-08 20:33:42 +0100 <mc47> I'm letting KDE worry about invoking xmonad
2021-02-08 20:36:08 +0100 <geekosaur> I've written a bunch of debug hooks but they all assume stderr is going somewhere useful. where that is will depend
2021-02-08 20:36:43 +0100 <geekosaur> on my systems (all debian-derived) it's .xsession-errors. on fedora it's supposedly under control of journalctl, iirc
2021-02-08 20:37:09 +0100 <mc47> I have no idea where that goes
2021-02-08 20:37:27 +0100 <geekosaur> in other news, I found https://wiki.haskell.org/Special:Export
2021-02-08 20:37:40 +0100 <mc47> I could just run strace for write syscalls and grep what I want
2021-02-08 20:37:46 +0100 <geekosaur> possibly pandoc can do something useful with the result
2021-02-08 20:38:07 +0100 <geekosaur> strace is possibly the most painful way of doing this, especially since there'll be 100 signals per second from the runtime
2021-02-08 20:38:54 +0100 <geekosaur> also lots of writes to the X server socket
2021-02-08 20:38:59 +0100 <Solid> Liskni_si: afaik this is not standardized
2021-02-08 20:39:30 +0100 <Solid> my system sends the info god knows where by default and I have to explicitly redirect it so some errors file via something like `exec launchx >& ~/.xsession.log'
2021-02-08 20:39:42 +0100 <mc47> it is painful, but it might just work
2021-02-08 20:40:12 +0100 <mc47> unless someone has an idea on what KDE does with window managers?
2021-02-08 20:40:23 +0100 <geekosaur> it may be possible to make strace itself limit to writes to stderr
2021-02-08 20:40:31 +0100 <geekosaur> no idea with recent kde, sorry
2021-02-08 20:40:43 +0100 <geekosaur> last time I played with it was kde2 :)
2021-02-08 20:40:56 +0100 <geekosaur> things have… changed since then
2021-02-08 20:41:29 +0100 <Solid> surely kde must have this documented somewhere?
2021-02-08 20:43:13 +0100 <geekosaur> I was going to say last time I needed to know someting about kde I had to dig in the source, but now that I think about it that was actually something about xcb :/
2021-02-08 20:50:09 +0100 <Liskni_si> Solid: oh, right, it's debian's Xsession that's doing the redirect here
2021-02-08 20:51:34 +0100 <geekosaur> doesn't debian use .xsession-errors though? ubuntu and mint do but it may be inherited from ubuntu instead of from debian
2021-02-08 20:52:48 +0100 <mc47> I also have no idea, and I'm not even sure I could replicate my current setup again
2021-02-08 20:53:00 +0100 <mc47> After a lot of trying, it just "works"
2021-02-08 20:53:27 +0100geekosaurat least tries to keep notes
2021-02-08 20:53:58 +0100 <geekosaur> but I missed one this time around and had to try to reconstruct from the wiki, where I again missed one (xmonad vs. start-xmonad)
2021-02-08 21:09:16 +0100 <geekosaur> mm, also forgot about reconfiguring the menu button because I thought it was specific to mint but applies to at least the mate advanced menu and possibly all the menu buttons (need to disable their keygrab if you use win/super as xmonad's mod key)
2021-02-08 21:26:25 +0100 <Liskni_si> geekosaur: yes it does use .xsession-errors, that's what I'm saying, is it not?
