| 2024-04-22 16:49:44 | <andrewjf> | I rescently started with Xmonad and I wanted to try adding swallowing. I added a few lines to my config.hs file. But I'm a confused about how to recompile xmonad so I can see my changes. I tried xmonad --recompile but I get an error xmonad: /home/andrewjf/.xmonad/xmonad.errors: withFile: permission denied (Permission denied). If I try running doas |
| 2024-04-22 16:49:44 | <andrewjf> | xmonad --recompile I get a different error Authorization required, but no authorization protocal specified. It also seems like when I doas xmonad --recompile like it is trying to compile the .xmonad file that is associated with the root user rather than the one that is associated with my current user. I'm running freeBSD if that information is at |
| 2024-04-22 16:49:45 | <andrewjf> | all useful. Any help would be much appreacated and if more info is needed i would be happy to provide it |
| 2024-04-22 16:51:13 | <geekosaur> | check ownership of your ~/.xmonad and all files in it, that error sounds like it's owned by root? |
| 2024-04-22 16:51:23 | <geekosaur> | (as opposed to using root's .xmonad) |
| 2024-04-22 16:54:03 | <andrewjf> | drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Apr 22 12:16 .xmonad (output of ls -la) |
| 2024-04-22 16:54:28 | <andrewjf> | does root wheel mean that it is owned by root? |
| 2024-04-22 16:59:08 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 2024-04-22 16:59:23 | <geekosaur> | owner root, group wheel |
| 2024-04-22 16:59:43 | <geekosaur> | (group wheel on BSDs is essentially the "root" group) |
| 2024-04-22 17:02:23 | <andrewjf> | Oh awesome how could you remind me what the command is for changing the owner of a file |
| 2024-04-22 17:04:37 | <geekosaur> | sudo chown $USER file … |
| 2024-04-22 17:06:38 | <andrewjf> | It nows says andrewjf wheel instead of andrewjf root |
| 2024-04-22 17:07:24 | <geekosaur> | right, that's probably fine. you could change the group as well but there's no convenient envar for your primary group |
| 2024-04-22 17:08:05 | <andrewjf> | it looks like everything inside of .xmonad is also root wheel |
| 2024-04-22 17:08:28 | <geekosaur> | you should chown it all or you'll keep getting errors |
| 2024-04-22 17:10:57 | <andrewjf> | Okay I was able to set everything inside to be andrewjf wheel lnstead and it seems to be working. And i just ran xmonad --recompile and its seems to working. Thkank you so much for your help man |

| 2024-04-22 23:50:08 | <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 |
| 2024-04-22 23:50:09 | <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. |
| 2024-04-22 23:50:39 | <andrewjf> | *myTerminal = "alacritty" |
| 2024-04-22 23:50:43 | <geekosaur> | are you actually using myTerminal anywhere? |
| 2024-04-22 23:51:48 | <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 |
| 2024-04-22 23:52:18 | <geekosaur> | (note that mine is a bit more complicated than a simple terminal setting) |
| 2024-04-22 23:53:42 | <andrewjf> | the only other reference to myTerminal is it says defaults = def { terminal = myTerminal ... |
| 2024-04-22 23:54:08 | <geekosaur> | that should work, then. |
| 2024-04-22 23:54:19 | <geekosaur> | can you pastebin your whole xmonad.hs? |
| 2024-04-22 23:54:21 | <geekosaur> | @where paste |
| 2024-04-22 23:54:21 | <lambdabot> | Help us help you: please paste full code, input and/or output at e.g. https://paste.tomsmeding.com |
| 2024-04-22 23:56:25 | <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 |
| 2024-04-22 23:57:11 | <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 |
| 2024-04-22 23:57:57 | <andrewjf> | Okay ill do that |
| 2024-04-23 00:02:22 | → | sajenim joins (~sajenim@user/sajenim) |
| 2024-04-23 00:04:39 | <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 00:07:03 | <geekosaur> | mm, right, I have a clipboard manager that deals with old vs. new clipboards |
| 2024-04-23 00:07:32 | <geekosaur> | xclip -in -selection clipboard < ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs |
| 2024-04-23 00:07:53 | <geekosaur> | (otherwise it uses "primary") |
| 2024-04-23 00:09:41 | <andrewjf> | https://paste.tomsmeding.com/73tpg6j9#file-1 |
| 2024-04-23 00:10:00 | <andrewjf> | Yep the command you gave me work |
| 2024-04-23 00:10:06 | <andrewjf> | *worked |
| 2024-04-23 00:13:50 | <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 00:14:41 | <geekosaur> | I would recommend starting from https://xmonad.org/TUTORIAL.html instead |
| 2024-04-23 00:15:13 | <andrewjf> | Okay sounds good I'll take a look at the tutorial |
| 2024-04-23 00:19:56 | <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 00:20:59 | <geekosaur> | it doesn't use the same PATH your terminal does, because it doesn't read your shell dotfiles by default |
| 2024-04-23 00:21:46 | <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 00:30:15 | <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) |
