| 2021-05-01 10:46:26 +0200 | <charpointer> | any ideas why my xmonad doesnt recognize any keybinds? |
| 2021-05-01 10:46:38 +0200 | <charpointer> | it compiles fine, and all but no keys are recognized |
| 2021-05-01 10:48:45 +0200 | <Solid> | what do you mean exactly? Is your keyboard effectively dead (e.g. you can't even switch to a TTY with C-M-Fn)? Do xmonad's bindings not come through? |
| 2021-05-01 10:52:04 +0200 | <charpointer> | none of them come through |
| 2021-05-01 10:52:09 +0200 | <charpointer> | i cant spawn any of my binds |
| 2021-05-01 10:52:11 +0200 | <charpointer> | Solid |
| 2021-05-01 10:52:26 +0200 | <charpointer> | i can switch TTY and it works fine in there |
| 2021-05-01 10:52:30 +0200 | <charpointer> | but xmonad finds nothing |
| 2021-05-01 10:52:51 +0200 | <charpointer> | im pretty new to haskell, but my xmonad config compiles and typechecks so i assume its correct |
| 2021-05-01 10:53:02 +0200 | <charpointer> | i can upload it to github and send the link if its helpful? |
| 2021-05-01 10:53:19 +0200 | <Solid> | sure |
| 2021-05-01 10:53:22 +0200 | <Solid> | @where paste |

| 2021-05-01 10:53:32 +0200 | <charpointer> | ill do that |

| 2021-05-01 10:56:28 +0200 | <charpointer> | im having to use .xmonad/build since im on arch and it refused to build otherwise |
| 2021-05-01 11:00:58 +0200 | <Solid> | so when you press M-Ret nothing happens? |
| 2021-05-01 11:01:15 +0200 | <charpointer> | if i press any key, nothing happens |
| 2021-05-01 11:01:20 +0200 | <Solid> | (I'm assuming you have xfce4-terminal installed) |
| 2021-05-01 11:01:23 +0200 | <charpointer> | yeah |
| 2021-05-01 11:01:26 +0200 | <charpointer> | i do |
| 2021-05-01 11:01:34 +0200 | <charpointer> | i can send the contents of .xmonad/build |
| 2021-05-01 11:01:36 +0200 | <charpointer> | if thats helpful |
| 2021-05-01 11:01:54 +0200 | <Solid> | if it compiles fine then that shouldn't contain anything useful |
| 2021-05-01 11:02:07 +0200 | <Solid> | perhaps check your .xsession-errors (names may vary) |
| 2021-05-01 11:02:17 +0200 | <charpointer> | where do i find this |
| 2021-05-01 11:02:21 +0200 | <charpointer> | also im using lightdm |
| 2021-05-01 11:02:24 +0200 | <Solid> | ~/.xsession-errors |
| 2021-05-01 11:02:47 +0200 | <charpointer> | nothing in it for xmonad |

| 2021-05-01 11:03:52 +0200 | <charpointer> | heres my xmonad/build file |
| 2021-05-01 11:06:17 +0200 | <Solid> | ah I see |
| 2021-05-01 11:07:13 +0200 | <Solid> | if you have a build file then xmonad expects that you build an `xmonad-ARCH` file |
| 2021-05-01 11:07:48 +0200 | <Solid> | *and move it to the given path |
| 2021-05-01 11:08:51 +0200 | <charpointer> | how do i do that? |
| 2021-05-01 11:10:34 +0200 | <Solid> | you can probably give cabal some flags to decide where the executable should live (I've never really used cabal without stack, so I can't say for sure) |
| 2021-05-01 11:10:51 +0200 | <charpointer> | where should it live? |
| 2021-05-01 11:11:13 +0200 | <Solid> | the build script is invoked on M-q, so "$1" :) |
| 2021-05-01 11:11:31 +0200 | <Solid> | there's a provisional installation guide with stack here: https://github.com/slotThe/xmonad/blob/new-tutorial/INSTALL.md |
| 2021-05-01 11:11:46 +0200 | <Solid> | It's part of the new tutorial ( https://github.com/slotThe/xmonad/blob/new-tutorial/tutorial.md ) that I usually shill at this point |
| 2021-05-01 11:12:52 +0200 | <charpointer> | ill check this out |
| 2021-05-01 11:14:08 +0200 | <Solid> | there is also a cabal build script available in the xmonad-testing repo ( https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-testing/blob/master/build-scripts/build-with-cabal.sh ) but it's a bit involved |
| 2021-05-01 11:14:34 +0200 | <Solid> | so I would recommend the easier way of installing with stack and just invoking stack ghc like it is done in INSTALL.md |

| 2021-05-01 12:21:29 +0200 | <heatwave> | Hmmm. I did set it up manually this time. |
| 2021-05-01 12:22:17 +0200 | <oogeek> | Very likely it has a locale issue. The locale should be en_US.UTF-8 for it to work, I guess. |
| 2021-05-01 12:22:22 +0200 | <heatwave> | would it be something with the date command? |
| 2021-05-01 12:22:34 +0200 | <oogeek> | You can try running LANG=en_US.UTF-8 xmobar ~/.config/yourconfig |
| 2021-05-01 12:22:43 +0200 | <heatwave> | oh yes, that's what I specifically set it to system wise. |
| 2021-05-01 12:23:35 +0200 | <heatwave> | oogeek: wow, that does work! I'm so sure I set the locale right, but let me confirm :) |
| 2021-05-01 12:24:26 +0200 | <oogeek> | :) I have this issue simply because I have 0400 permission on my locale.conf, I changed it to 0644 and it looks good. |
| 2021-05-01 12:25:00 +0200 | <heatwave> | I was wondering how you instantly knew! Thanks a ton |
| 2021-05-01 12:26:06 +0200 | <oogeek> | heatwave: Painful experience from the past to dig it up. Sigh. I was too strict on file permissions to discover this. |

| 2021-05-01 12:32:03 +0200 | <heatwave_> | oogeek: is there any security related issue with giving 0400 for locale.conf? |
| 2021-05-01 12:35:01 +0200 | <oogeek> | No. Usually a lof of linux distro will set the value of umask to be 022, which means when you create a new file, the permission will be 0644 or something. However, I set it to 077, so that the file would have 0400. |
| 2021-05-01 12:36:34 +0200 | <oogeek> | Take locale.conf for example. Normal users will also read the file to make sure the locale is the same with the system. However, if they don't have permission to do so, like in 0400, then the locale for users will be default to "C". Thus getting the xmobar error, casue "C" knows nothing about UTF-8 |

| 2021-05-01 12:43:25 +0200 | <charpointer> | so xmonad works, is it possible to make workspaces 1, 2, 3, 4 on my first monitor, and 5,6,7,8 on my second monitor? |
| 2021-05-01 12:43:43 +0200 | <charpointer> | currently each monitor has its own set of workspaces but id like it to be more like how i3 worked if thats possible |
| 2021-05-01 12:44:02 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: go and take a look at XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens |
| 2021-05-01 12:44:27 +0200 | <oogeek> | Maybe that is what you want |
| 2021-05-01 12:44:33 +0200 | <charpointer> | oogeek, im looking at it buts its kinda confusing |
| 2021-05-01 12:44:36 +0200 | <charpointer> | how would i say have |
| 2021-05-01 12:44:41 +0200 | <charpointer> | ws 1-4 on my first monitor |
| 2021-05-01 12:44:48 +0200 | <charpointer> | and ws 5-8 on my second |
| 2021-05-01 12:44:51 +0200 | <charpointer> | thats what i want |
| 2021-05-01 12:45:30 +0200 | <charpointer> | i want the workspaces shared between monitors, like in i3 |
| 2021-05-01 12:45:40 +0200 | <charpointer> | not each monitor having its own workspaces |
| 2021-05-01 12:45:52 +0200 | ADG1089 | (~aditya@223.226.237.158) (Remote host closed the connection) |
| 2021-05-01 12:46:02 +0200 | <Solid> | but the workspaces _are_ shared between monitors by default |
| 2021-05-01 12:46:09 +0200 | <charpointer> | are they? |
| 2021-05-01 12:46:10 +0200 | <Solid> | I'm not sure what you're asking (I don't know what i3 does) |
| 2021-05-01 12:46:15 +0200 | <charpointer> | well if so then how can i change the order |
| 2021-05-01 12:46:16 +0200 | <oogeek> | Got it. Then it is quite easy. You just need to filter then out. |
| 2021-05-01 12:46:17 +0200 | <charpointer> | of which is shared |
| 2021-05-01 12:46:30 +0200 | <charpointer> | oogeek, great so how would i do that? |
| 2021-05-01 12:48:58 +0200 | <oogeek> | Use two xmobar configs. You can try to add a function to the PP config. One that takes the first four workspaces, the other take the rest. |
| 2021-05-01 12:49:08 +0200 | <charpointer> | i dont have xmobar setup yet |
| 2021-05-01 12:49:17 +0200 | <charpointer> | xmonad is jsut mapping my workspaces wrong |
| 2021-05-01 12:49:24 +0200 | <charpointer> | i want ws 1-4 on my first monitor |
| 2021-05-01 12:49:31 +0200 | <charpointer> | and ws 5-8 on my second one |
| 2021-05-01 12:49:39 +0200 | <charpointer> | can i like? force it to use a specific monitor like i did w/ i3? |
| 2021-05-01 12:51:03 +0200 | <oogeek> | So you use any bars? |
| 2021-05-01 12:51:07 +0200 | <charpointer> | not atm |
| 2021-05-01 12:51:19 +0200 | <charpointer> | i literally just got it working like 1 hr ago |
| 2021-05-01 12:51:28 +0200 | <charpointer> | and now im finding out the workspaces are mapped to the wrong screens |
| 2021-05-01 12:52:13 +0200 | <charpointer> | i can post my xmonad file |
| 2021-05-01 12:52:15 +0200 | <charpointer> | if u want |
| 2021-05-01 12:52:21 +0200 | <Solid> | the workspaces are not mapped to any screens |
| 2021-05-01 12:52:31 +0200 | <charpointer> | well how do i map them then |
| 2021-05-01 12:52:37 +0200 | <charpointer> | so ws 1-4 is on my first monitor |
| 2021-05-01 12:52:42 +0200 | <charpointer> | and ws 5-8 is on my second one |
| 2021-05-01 12:53:23 +0200 | <Solid> | so what happens if you're on monitor 1 and switch to ws 5? is it a no-op? do you switch to monitor 2 automatically? |
| 2021-05-01 12:53:36 +0200 | <charpointer> | lemme try |
| 2021-05-01 12:53:45 +0200 | <Solid> | I mean what do you _want_ to happen |
| 2021-05-01 12:53:51 +0200 | <charpointer> | ohh |
| 2021-05-01 12:53:58 +0200 | <charpointer> | i want it to switch to monitor 2 |
| 2021-05-01 12:54:07 +0200 | <charpointer> | and ws 5 will be the first workspace on that monitor |
| 2021-05-01 12:54:50 +0200 | <Solid> | that should be possible to hack together with X.L.IndependentScreens but I don't think it's necessarily built in (could be wrong, I've never used the module) |
| 2021-05-01 12:55:02 +0200 | <charpointer> | idk how to use IndependentScreens |
| 2021-05-01 12:55:08 +0200 | <charpointer> | could u help me hack this together? |
| 2021-05-01 12:55:24 +0200 | <oogeek> | Then maybe you really need IndependentScreens. I use it, I mean, you can have "0_1" ... "0_4" "1_5".."1_8" |
| 2021-05-01 12:55:33 +0200 | <charpointer> | i read the wiki and its confused me |
| 2021-05-01 12:55:43 +0200 | <charpointer> | it doesnt mention how to have individual ws |
| 2021-05-01 12:56:32 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: The 'withScreen' in my PR is not merged. So I think you need a custom IndependentScreens.hs. |
| 2021-05-01 12:57:03 +0200 | <charpointer> | wdym? |
| 2021-05-01 12:57:20 +0200 | <oogeek> | I have a Pull Request on IndependentScreens, haha. |
| 2021-05-01 12:57:26 +0200 | <Solid> | I don't think you need anything that custom |
| 2021-05-01 12:57:44 +0200 | <charpointer> | im new to haskell & xmonad |
| 2021-05-01 12:57:44 +0200 | <oogeek> | But I don't have much time to work on it now. Tons of final exams. Sad |
| 2021-05-01 12:57:50 +0200 | <charpointer> | why is this so hard to get working? |
| 2021-05-01 12:57:59 +0200 | <Solid> | you just need your keybindings to switch to screen 2 when pressing M-{5-8} and then switch the ws |
| 2021-05-01 12:58:07 +0200 | <charpointer> | yeah |
| 2021-05-01 12:58:10 +0200 | <charpointer> | but idk how to do that |
| 2021-05-01 12:58:13 +0200 | <charpointer> | Solid |
| 2021-05-01 12:58:51 +0200 | <Solid> | sorry, I'm not saying you personally should do it, just how I imagine it working |
| 2021-05-01 12:58:58 +0200 | <charpointer> | ah |
| 2021-05-01 12:59:03 +0200 | <charpointer> | could u help me w/ doing this then? |
| 2021-05-01 13:00:08 +0200 | <Solid> | mh, this probably works without IndependentScreens... I'll give it a shot |
| 2021-05-01 13:00:28 +0200 | <charpointer> | thanks, let me know if u get it working |

| 2021-05-01 13:55:25 +0200 | <oogeek> | Like this ("M-.", nextScreen *> withNthWorkspace W.view 4) |
| 2021-05-01 13:55:53 +0200 | <oogeek> | In such a way, when you use nextscreen, it will also focus the 5th workspace, that is, workspace 5. |

| 2021-05-01 13:56:24 +0200 | <charpointer> | can i not just bind m+1-4 to monitor one, and m+5-8 to monitor two? |
| 2021-05-01 13:57:00 +0200 | <oogeek> | What do you mean by "not just"? |
| 2021-05-01 13:57:11 +0200 | <charpointer> | i only want workspaces 1-4 for monitor 1 |
| 2021-05-01 13:57:16 +0200 | <charpointer> | and workspaces 5-8 for monitor 2 |
| 2021-05-01 13:57:25 +0200 | <charpointer> | and when i press mod+[1-4] it should switch to that workspace |
| 2021-05-01 13:57:28 +0200 | <geekosaur> | you cannot "just do" that |
| 2021-05-01 13:57:30 +0200 | <charpointer> | and same for mod+[5-8] |
| 2021-05-01 13:57:35 +0200 | <charpointer> | why not? |
| 2021-05-01 13:57:46 +0200 | <geekosaur> | because that is not how xmonad works |
| 2021-05-01 13:57:46 +0200 | <charpointer> | i managed to do that in i3 and bspwm |
| 2021-05-01 13:58:08 +0200 | <charpointer> | hmm |
| 2021-05-01 13:58:11 +0200 | <charpointer> | how does it work then? |
| 2021-05-01 14:01:11 +0200 | heatwave_ | (~heatwave@192.145.118.176) |
| 2021-05-01 14:02:46 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: First, implementation of workspaces in xmonad is a bit different than that in i3 or bspwm. Also, there is no notion of monitor for workspaces. Actually, workspaces are over all monitors. The thing you can do is to control them so that a bunch of them display on monitor 1. The other on monitor 2. In your case, you don't even use a bar. That makes it easier. |
| 2021-05-01 14:02:46 +0200 | heatwave_ | (~heatwave@192.145.118.176) (Client Quit) |
| 2021-05-01 14:03:02 +0200 | <oogeek> | Also, you can change what I proposed with your own keybind. |
| 2021-05-01 14:03:04 +0200 | <charpointer> | ill install a bar after i get the basic setup |
| 2021-05-01 14:03:15 +0200 | <charpointer> | ah i see |
| 2021-05-01 14:03:22 +0200 | <charpointer> | sorry im new to this |
| 2021-05-01 14:03:27 +0200 | <oogeek> | You can change "M-." to "M-5" if you wish |
| 2021-05-01 14:04:20 +0200 | <charpointer> | nextScreen is not in scope oogeek |

| 2021-05-01 14:05:28 +0200 | <charpointer> | i googled and i couldnt find it |

| 2021-05-01 14:06:26 +0200 | <Solid> | http://ix.io/3lum this should work (I've not tested it) |
| 2021-05-01 14:06:52 +0200 | <Solid> | but really I would encourage you to (try to) get used to the default xmonad behaviour first |
| 2021-05-01 14:06:57 +0200 | <charpointer> | ok |
| 2021-05-01 14:07:02 +0200 | <charpointer> | how can i import nextScreen? |
| 2021-05-01 14:07:09 +0200 | <charpointer> | it says its not found and i cant find any results on google |

| 2021-05-01 14:08:51 +0200 | <charpointer> | it was Xmonad.Actions.CycleWS |

| 2021-05-01 14:11:21 +0200 | <charpointer> | Solid, so i have this and i can switch screens but when i try and switch workspace 1 and 2 it just ends up moving windows between monitors in a way that makes no sense |
| 2021-05-01 14:11:25 +0200 | <charpointer> | is there any way of fixing this? |
| 2021-05-01 14:11:58 +0200 | <Solid> | charpointer: I was not the one to tell you to use nextScreen, so no |
| 2021-05-01 14:12:19 +0200 | <charpointer> | can i post my config |
| 2021-05-01 14:12:21 +0200 | <Solid> | have you looked at what I posted earlier? |
| 2021-05-01 14:12:26 +0200 | <charpointer> | because this is confusing |
| 2021-05-01 14:13:08 +0200 | <charpointer> | when i switch betwee nworkspaces its just random as to which will appear on which monitor |
| 2021-05-01 14:13:12 +0200 | <charpointer> | and it doesnt work at all |
| 2021-05-01 14:13:18 +0200 | <charpointer> | its literally unusable like this |

| 2021-05-01 14:13:54 +0200 | <charpointer> | heres my config |
| 2021-05-01 14:14:20 +0200 | <oogeek> | Solid: The suggestion I gave to charpointer is just similar to your suggestion. I think. You mention about first switch to screen 2 and then focus the relavant ws. |
| 2021-05-01 14:14:33 +0200 | <charpointer> | can you guys look at my config |
| 2021-05-01 14:14:48 +0200 | <Solid> | oogeek: your solution switches the screen every time, which is not what we want |
| 2021-05-01 14:15:08 +0200 | <charpointer> | this is literally unusable |
| 2021-05-01 14:15:20 +0200 | <charpointer> | and confuses the hell out of me when it switches randomly |
| 2021-05-01 14:15:28 +0200 | <charpointer> | i just want it to be consistent |
| 2021-05-01 14:15:30 +0200 | <charpointer> | either |
| 2021-05-01 14:15:34 +0200 | <Solid> | it doesn't switch randomly |
| 2021-05-01 14:15:39 +0200 | <charpointer> | YES it does |
| 2021-05-01 14:15:43 +0200 | <charpointer> | or it makes no sense |
| 2021-05-01 14:15:45 +0200 | <Solid> | sigh |
| 2021-05-01 14:15:47 +0200 | <oogeek> | But then there need to be a function to detect the screenId, oh |

| 2021-05-01 14:15:53 +0200 | <charpointer> | i want either |
| 2021-05-01 14:16:03 +0200 | <Solid> | oogeek: yes, like the one I posted earlier ;) |
| 2021-05-01 14:16:05 +0200 | <charpointer> | A) 1-4 is on monitor 1, 5-8 on monitor 2 or |
| 2021-05-01 14:16:15 +0200 | <charpointer> | B) independent workspaces for each monitor |
| 2021-05-01 14:16:28 +0200 | <charpointer> | im fine w/ either but this is confusing |
| 2021-05-01 14:16:31 +0200 | <charpointer> | rn |
| 2021-05-01 14:17:11 +0200 | <charpointer> | if A is not possible, is B possible? |
| 2021-05-01 14:17:34 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: seriously, if you want to use a bar later, you may consider IndependentScreens. I thought you want to only display four workspaces on monitor 1. Filter the workspaces out is another way. Both A and B need some more code to do it. |
| 2021-05-01 14:17:36 +0200 | <Solid> | sorry I'm not goint to waste any more of my time if I literally posted a solution and got ignored repeatedly when I told you to try it |
| 2021-05-01 14:17:53 +0200 | <charpointer> | oogeek, how do i do independent screens then? |
| 2021-05-01 14:18:38 +0200 | <charpointer> | since i want to use a bar either polybar or xmobar later on |

| 2021-05-01 14:20:10 +0200 | <mc47> | Is anyone here using dynamicSBs and could comment on this https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/463#issuecomment-830623727 ? |
| 2021-05-01 14:20:26 +0200 | <mc47> | I've been scratching my head a lot to try and figure out what's the problem |
| 2021-05-01 14:21:50 +0200 | <oogeek> | mc47: Although I don't use it, I am willing to test it out. |
| 2021-05-01 14:24:53 +0200 | <mc47[m]> | I mean it would be cool to get more feedback on it |
| 2021-05-01 14:25:10 +0200 | <mc47[m]> | I gotta rebase it though, gimme a few minutes |
| 2021-05-01 14:26:58 +0200 | <mc47[m]> | That module enables bad posture in my case... I find myself unplugging the external monitor and laying on the bed with the laptop a lot with it, since I don't need to restart xmobar or anything, and things just work beautifully |
| 2021-05-01 14:27:27 +0200 | <mc47[m]> | Except for when they don't and I need a M-q, but it's really rare |

| 2021-05-01 14:29:28 +0200 | <Solid> | mh I've not felt the need for a bar on my second monitor yet |
| 2021-05-01 14:29:35 +0200 | <Solid> | but maybe I'll set something up |
| 2021-05-01 14:29:42 +0200 | <Solid> | getting this merged would be cool |
| 2021-05-01 14:30:20 +0200 | <mc47> | my bar on the second montior is pretty small, and it helps overall with keeping track of things |
| 2021-05-01 14:30:25 +0200 | <mc47> | I'll spam some screenshots |
| 2021-05-01 14:30:36 +0200 | <Solid> | :D |
| 2021-05-01 14:30:58 +0200 | <Solid> | btw, have you looked at https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/pull/278/commits/7d43128753f3a9a8128346034997e4c0b456058d at all? I'd like to start squashing all the commits for the tutorial soon-ish |
| 2021-05-01 14:31:20 +0200 | <oogeek> | Also, I think after May 16, I will have plenty of time to test new things out. Don't hesitate to ask me for some testing. :) |
| 2021-05-01 14:32:02 +0200 | <mc47> | I skimmed it, I'll look thoroughly at it today |

| 2021-05-01 14:34:09 +0200 | <charpointer> | how do i implement the IndependentScreens |

| 2021-05-01 14:40:48 +0200 | <charpointer> | oogeek, this looks like what i want but its very confusing and the example doesnt work |
| 2021-05-01 14:40:58 +0200 | <charpointer> | or im not sure how to get it working rather |

| 2021-05-01 14:47:02 +0200 | <charpointer> | so i managed to setup it up yay |
| 2021-05-01 14:47:17 +0200 | <charpointer> | IndependentScreens is perfect |
| 2021-05-01 14:51:40 +0200 | <oogeek> | :) |
| 2021-05-01 14:52:34 +0200 | <charpointer> | im using the Tall template, is there a way to resize specific windows in the split? |
| 2021-05-01 14:52:48 +0200 | <charpointer> | like i can do mod + alt + arrows to resize the split |
| 2021-05-01 14:52:52 +0200 | <charpointer> | is that possible? |
| 2021-05-01 14:53:00 +0200 | <charpointer> | or are they static only |
| 2021-05-01 14:53:22 +0200 | <mc47> | you'd want to look at X.L.ResizableTile |
| 2021-05-01 14:54:14 +0200 | <charpointer> | ah ok |
| 2021-05-01 14:56:46 +0200 | <oogeek> | mc47: Do you have any suggestions to this: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/504 :) |
| 2021-05-01 14:58:07 +0200 | <mc47> | Not really, at least not as a first glance |
| 2021-05-01 14:58:42 +0200 | <mc47> | I'll try to get to it, but I'm a bit swamped at the moment... it's been a crazy, crazy couple of weeks |
| 2021-05-01 15:00:07 +0200 | <Solid> | no pressure, take your time |
| 2021-05-01 15:00:16 +0200 | <oogeek> | I really hope that more people would read the tutorial thoroughly after it comes out. |
| 2021-05-01 15:00:31 +0200 | <oogeek> | So that many small problems can be solved immediately. |
| 2021-05-01 15:02:08 +0200 | <geekosaur> | <cynic> people read tutorials? in particular, thoroughly? </cynic> |
| 2021-05-01 15:02:14 +0200 | <mc47> | many people don't read |
| 2021-05-01 15:02:26 +0200 | <mc47> | most of them, actually |
| 2021-05-01 15:02:47 +0200 | <mc47> | but it gives RTFM rights, and that's awesome :D |
| 2021-05-01 15:03:00 +0200 | <oogeek> | I learned to write haskell through a serious of erros in my code :) Still improving. And I find it more useful to just read the source code. Personally. :) |
| 2021-05-01 15:03:07 +0200 | <oogeek> | errors* |
| 2021-05-01 15:03:42 +0200 | <oogeek> | Well I do ready Arch Wiki thoroughly, haha. |
| 2021-05-01 15:03:53 +0200 | <mc47> | yeah reading code definitely helps |
| 2021-05-01 15:04:12 +0200 | <oogeek> | BTW I use Arch/ I use Arch BTW |
| 2021-05-01 15:04:26 +0200 | <mc47> | and if you're learning haskell, I can't recommend hlint enough |
| 2021-05-01 15:04:30 +0200 | <Solid> | I reckon people would read the tutorial if we aggressively told them to RTFM |
| 2021-05-01 15:04:38 +0200 | <Solid> | but I don't think we'd want to be that abrasive |
| 2021-05-01 15:05:54 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | mc47: "failed to create OS thread: Resource temporarily unavailable" looks like a GHC issue to me |
| 2021-05-01 15:06:31 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | mc47: or even some system limits like the kernel applying some antiforkbomb protection or some magic like that |
| 2021-05-01 15:07:12 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | mc47: I haven't managed to migrate to your DynamicBars yet, but I've been launching xmobar dynamically on rescreen for years and never saw anything like this |
| 2021-05-01 15:08:12 +0200 | <mc47> | huh, maybe because of the threaded runtime or something like that? |
| 2021-05-01 15:08:23 +0200 | <oogeek> | mc47: A very personal question: why do you still use a 4.x kernel with Manjaro. Sorry if this question is too personal. |
| 2021-05-01 15:08:32 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | mc47: I do have the threaded runtime as well |
| 2021-05-01 15:08:46 +0200 | <oogeek> | I mean if the case is exactly as Liskni_si said, maybe it is the cause? |
| 2021-05-01 15:08:48 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | probably not for all those years though |
| 2021-05-01 15:08:57 +0200 | <mc47> | Liskni_si these are the flags I'm setting "-threaded -rtsopts -with-rtsopts=-N -Wall" |
| 2021-05-01 15:09:11 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | I don't have the -N thing |
| 2021-05-01 15:09:18 +0200 | <mc47> | oogeek, phew, idk really, I just forget to update my kernel |
| 2021-05-01 15:09:24 +0200 | <geekosaur> | then you're running with 1 OS thread |
| 2021-05-01 15:09:58 +0200 | <charpointer> | how do i start xmobar from inside xmonad? |
| 2021-05-01 15:10:05 +0200 | <charpointer> | i have my xmobarrc file |
| 2021-05-01 15:10:34 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | geekosaur: yeah I probably do |
| 2021-05-01 15:10:49 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: Pretty easy, you define and call it within the "main" function. You can find lots of examples online. Also in the tutorial. |
| 2021-05-01 15:10:56 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | I only use the threaded runtime to be able to use async to kill all xmobars in parallel |
| 2021-05-01 15:10:58 +0200 | <charpointer> | could u link me to one? oogeek |
| 2021-05-01 15:11:12 +0200 | <oogeek> | Let me find the link to the new tutorial, haha. |
| 2021-05-01 15:11:13 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | (more like "concurrently" than in parallel) |
| 2021-05-01 15:11:43 +0200 | <charpointer> | thank |
| 2021-05-01 15:12:42 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: please read it thoroughly: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/blob/ffab9f63890ed57a57d6185c1280a2271d21f348/tutorial.md |
| 2021-05-01 15:12:49 +0200 | <oogeek> | It is really a nice tutorial. |
| 2021-05-01 15:12:53 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | so apparently I've had -threaded since 2012 |
| 2021-05-01 15:12:55 +0200 | <charpointer> | oki |
| 2021-05-01 15:21:54 +0200 | <mc47> | Liskni_si apparently it is due to " -rtsopts -with-rtsopts=-N" |
| 2021-05-01 15:22:00 +0200 | <mc47> | I found this issue https://github.com/haskell/unix/issues/62 |
| 2021-05-01 15:22:46 +0200 | <geekosaur> | yes, don't forkProcess with threads |
| 2021-05-01 15:23:01 +0200 | <geekosaur> | it'll break and there is no fix (you can't do this reliably even in C) |
| 2021-05-01 15:23:26 +0200 | <mc47> | TIL (again) that I shouldn't slap flags willy-nilly without knowing what they do |
| 2021-05-01 15:23:38 +0200 | <mc47> | alrighty then, thanks! |
| 2021-05-01 15:23:39 +0200 | <Solid> | not using that will apparently also stop breaking the prompt |
| 2021-05-01 15:23:43 +0200 | <Solid> | so win-win :> |
| 2021-05-01 15:23:46 +0200 | <mc47> | that too |
| 2021-05-01 15:25:38 +0200 | <oogeek> | mc47: So is the xmobar issued you mentioned caused by this? |
| 2021-05-01 15:25:40 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I think what's happening is it hits the -N limit in the child because it doesn't know all the child threads vanished on fork() |
| 2021-05-01 15:26:11 +0200 | <geekosaur> | so it's not actually the OS returning EAGAIN but the RTS's own limiting |
| 2021-05-01 15:26:45 +0200 | <geekosaur> | (the broken part being that one can't know what resources those other threads had e.g. locked, to unlock them in the child) |
| 2021-05-01 15:26:55 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | uh, is there some other mechanism to fork+exec that works with -N or does GHC really not support launching processes with -N? |
| 2021-05-01 15:27:23 +0200 | <geekosaur> | Unix doesn't support it. Read what I just wrote |
| 2021-05-01 15:28:21 +0200 | <geekosaur> | when you fork(), all threads go away. but whatever they had locked or etc. is still locked, and you can't know what was locked to unlock it. |
| 2021-05-01 15:28:44 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | geekosaur: yeah but none of that is really an issue if you're going to exec immediately |
| 2021-05-01 15:28:51 +0200 | <geekosaur> | if you exec() immediately this usually isn't a problem, unless the exec fails and then you hit one of the locks trying to tell the user |
| 2021-05-01 15:29:12 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | you aren't supposed to tell the user in the child process anyway |
| 2021-05-01 15:29:22 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | you either exec or _exit |
| 2021-05-01 15:31:09 +0200 | <geekosaur> | but then you can't reliably tell the user why, only the child has that information |
| 2021-05-01 15:33:12 +0200 | <geekosaur> | you can't use the exit code to pass it up unless (a) errnos are guaranteed < 128 (b) you somehow keep track of time or etc. so you know the difference between "child exited on failed exec" vs. "child exited after exec" |
| 2021-05-01 15:33:32 +0200 | <geekosaur> | this stuff is hairy :( |
| 2021-05-01 15:33:45 +0200 | <mc47> | geekosaur do you have a good resource to read about these things? it seems really complicated, and really interesting |
| 2021-05-01 15:33:57 +0200 | <geekosaur> | @where apue |
| 2021-05-01 15:33:58 +0200 | <lambdabot> | I know nothing about apue. |
| 2021-05-01 15:34:01 +0200 | <geekosaur> | bah |
| 2021-05-01 15:34:24 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | seems like System.Process deals with it by having the fork in C |
| 2021-05-01 15:34:34 +0200 | <mc47> | geekosaur got it! Thanks |
| 2021-05-01 15:34:43 +0200 | <geekosaur> | https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Programming-UNIX-Environment-3rd/dp/0321637739 |
| 2021-05-01 15:35:24 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | mc47: I learned most of what I know from man and the texinfo shipped with glibc |
| 2021-05-01 15:35:55 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | (and years of trial and error :-/) |
| 2021-05-01 15:37:13 +0200 | <mc47> | it does seem like something that requires a lot of trial and error :) |
| 2021-05-01 15:37:21 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | mc47: anyway, why did you use -with-rtsopts=-N then? |
| 2021-05-01 15:37:36 +0200 | <mc47> | umm, I don't remember |
| 2021-05-01 15:37:57 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I wouldn;t recommend multiple threads with X11 anyway, it doesn't handle threads well. which may be why the Submaps issue |
| 2021-05-01 15:38:16 +0200 | kelnoky | (~shao@ip1f128ba7.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de) (Quit: WeeChat 3.1) |
| 2021-05-01 15:38:31 +0200 | <mc47> | well, it probably went something like this "I know close to nothing about cabal -> Oh cool, this is a template -> oh cool, xmonad works now, let's move on" |
| 2021-05-01 15:38:52 +0200 | <mc47> | geekosaur the submaps issue is solved after removing the flags |
| 2021-05-01 15:38:59 +0200 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 2021-05-01 15:39:11 +0200 | <oogeek> | mc47: So you can close that issue |
| 2021-05-01 15:40:14 +0200 | <oogeek> | About submaps, iirc |
| 2021-05-01 15:40:37 +0200 | <geekosaur> | at minimum you'd want to document it |
| 2021-05-01 15:40:47 +0200 | <mc47> | oogeek I'll leave it open for now, if anyone wants to dig around and understand what's happening, and maybe as a reference |
| 2021-05-01 15:40:51 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | geekosaur: is that really an issue though? would Haskell's type system even let you run X code in another thread? |
| 2021-05-01 15:41:08 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | I mean, obviously it would if you really tried |
| 2021-05-01 15:41:15 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | but it won't happen by accident |
| 2021-05-01 15:41:29 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | you can't fork and then still have the X monad |
| 2021-05-01 15:41:31 +0200 | <geekosaur> | also we want to see if -threaded with -N 1 is safe (although Liskni_si seems to have that config?) because the threaded runtime is more reliable |
| 2021-05-01 15:42:30 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | (also worth mentioning that xmobar actually uses threads and X11, but it means Xlib needs to be told very early to be thread-aware and use locks everywhere, and it possibly adds overhead) |
| 2021-05-01 15:42:31 +0200 | <geekosaur> | you could get the Display out of it first, though |
| 2021-05-01 15:42:51 +0200 | <geekosaur> | and in fact copy the X monad, you'd just be working with your own private copy of it afterward |
| 2021-05-01 15:42:55 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | yeah if you grab the Display, fork and then issue X11 calls in IO, then you're fucked, yeah |
| 2021-05-01 15:43:56 +0200 | <geekosaur> | the interesting part is I didn't think Submaps even used threads, so it shouldn't care |
| 2021-05-01 15:46:24 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | mc47: if you can reliably (or even in 1 out of 5 tried) reproduce the "failed to create OS thread: Resource temporarily unavailable" issue, it might be worth trying to reproduce it under strace -f, and check if it's really EAGAIN from the clone syscall or something |
| 2021-05-01 15:46:37 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | that might help move https://github.com/haskell/unix/issues/62 forward ;-) |
| 2021-05-01 15:47:21 +0200 | <mc47> | sure, how would I do it under strace though? |
| 2021-05-01 15:48:00 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | you'd bind restarting xmobars to a key so that you don't have to restart xmonad again and again |
| 2021-05-01 15:48:14 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | and then you'd strace -f -p <xmonad pid> -o /tmp/trace1 |
| 2021-05-01 15:48:27 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | and then you'd hit the keybinding again and again |
| 2021-05-01 15:48:39 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | perhaps restarting the strace every time it doesn't fail to avoid all the noise |
| 2021-05-01 15:49:55 +0200 | <mc47> | alright, I'll hopefuly get to it soon-ish |
| 2021-05-01 15:50:21 +0200 | <charpointer> | where is withEasySB from? |
| 2021-05-01 15:50:27 +0200 | <charpointer> | oogeek |
| 2021-05-01 15:50:52 +0200 | <Liskni_si> | mc47: yeah no pressure, just thought it'd be nice as you seem to be one of a few who have a reproducer :-) |
| 2021-05-01 15:51:42 +0200 | <mc47> | charpointer you'd need the git version for that. I believe there are a lot of comments that tell you what to do if you're not on it |
| 2021-05-01 15:51:48 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: it comes from XMonad.Hooks.StatusBar from the git version of xmonad-contrib |
| 2021-05-01 15:51:50 +0200 | <mc47> | Liskni_si yeah definitely! |
| 2021-05-01 15:52:18 +0200 | <charpointer> | ok, well where do i import this from then |
| 2021-05-01 15:52:19 +0200 | <charpointer> | statusBar |
| 2021-05-01 15:54:13 +0200 | <oogeek> | Liskni_si: I am also curious to know how to only restart xmobar. Can you provide any hints? Sorry that I am a bit dumb. |
| 2021-05-01 15:56:37 +0200 | <mc47> | oogeek just call the function that restarts them, which isn't exported ATM, but that's fine |
| 2021-05-01 15:57:19 +0200 | <oogeek> | mc47: You mean the function from X.H.StatusBar? |
| 2021-05-01 15:57:26 +0200 | <mc47> | yeah |
| 2021-05-01 15:57:48 +0200 | <oogeek> | Thanks, let me read the source code again. |
| 2021-05-01 15:58:22 +0200 | <mc47> | it's updateSBs is what you want to look at |
| 2021-05-01 15:58:55 +0200 | <mc47> | s/it's/ |
| 2021-05-01 15:59:50 +0200 | <mc47> | that and killAllStatusBars |

| 2021-05-01 16:14:09 +0200 | <charpointer> | any ideas what i did wrong? |

| 2021-05-01 16:14:43 +0200 | <oogeek> | Please post your config: xmonad.hs and xmobarrc |
| 2021-05-01 16:14:50 +0200 | <charpointer> | where to? |

| 2021-05-01 16:20:05 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer I find the issue. Wait a few sec, let me paste something. |
| 2021-05-01 16:20:10 +0200 | <charpointer> | okay |
| 2021-05-01 16:20:35 +0200 | <oogeek> | Actually I just finished a Pull Request on multiple monitor example with statusbar, haha |
| 2021-05-01 16:21:02 +0200 | <charpointer> | the bar doesnt need to be on both monitors |
| 2021-05-01 16:21:10 +0200 | <charpointer> | in fact i prefer it not to be |
| 2021-05-01 16:21:17 +0200 | <charpointer> | but idk why my thing says updating constantly |
| 2021-05-01 16:22:00 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: First make it clear, how many bars do you want? |
| 2021-05-01 16:22:05 +0200 | <charpointer> | 1 |
| 2021-05-01 16:22:26 +0200 | <oogeek> | Ok, I will give an example that is easy to expand to 2,... in the future. |
| 2021-05-01 16:22:33 +0200 | <charpointer> | ok |
| 2021-05-01 16:27:09 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: https://fars.ee/IXnK |
| 2021-05-01 16:27:48 +0200 | <charpointer> | oogeek, i dont have the git version |
| 2021-05-01 16:27:54 +0200 | <charpointer> | so no emwhFullscreen or withSB |
| 2021-05-01 16:28:09 +0200 | <charpointer> | nice |
| 2021-05-01 16:28:14 +0200 | <charpointer> | wait wrong window |
| 2021-05-01 16:28:16 +0200 | <charpointer> | ignore that |

| 2021-05-01 16:30:32 +0200 | <charpointer> | anyway |
| 2021-05-01 16:30:40 +0200 | <charpointer> | oogeek, i dont have the git version |
| 2021-05-01 16:30:43 +0200 | <charpointer> | how do i get it? |
| 2021-05-01 16:31:59 +0200 | <charpointer> | i only have the version from stack |
| 2021-05-01 16:32:00 +0200 | <charpointer> | i think |

| 2021-05-01 16:40:08 +0200 | <charpointer> | arch |
| 2021-05-01 16:41:10 +0200 | <charpointer> | oogeek, wait do i need xmonad from the arch packages as well as it cloned? |
| 2021-05-01 16:41:12 +0200 | <charpointer> | im so confused |
| 2021-05-01 16:41:28 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: Then here are my suggestions: Step 1: Install stack-static from AUR. Step 2: follow the guide |
| 2021-05-01 16:41:50 +0200 | <oogeek> | charpointer: you don't need xmonad, xmobar, or xmonad-contrib from arch packages. |
| 2021-05-01 16:42:01 +0200 | <oogeek> | I just don't use any of them. |
| 2021-05-01 16:42:05 +0200 | <charpointer> | ok so i can remove it |
| 2021-05-01 16:42:21 +0200 | <charpointer> | ill log into i3 since removing xmonad inside xmonad is .. weird |
