| 2022-06-10 08:20:43 | <spaceseller> | until I changed the version |
| 2022-06-10 08:21:23 | <spaceseller> | i.e. xmonad-git from AUR replaced with git version and compiled with stack |
| 2022-06-10 08:21:56 | <spaceseller> | and then xmonad path ~/.local/bin/ |
| 2022-06-10 08:22:42 | <spaceseller> | code stayed the same |
| 2022-06-10 08:25:45 | <spaceseller> | sorry, I pasted the wrong code |
| 2022-06-10 08:26:00 | <spaceseller> | I have this i xmonad.hs |

| 2022-06-10 08:37:42 | <spaceseller> | I'm back, not solved. |
| 2022-06-10 08:38:04 | <spaceseller> | can I see some logs from xmonad? |
| 2022-06-10 08:38:30 | <spaceseller> | it is wierd that logout and login after reboot |
| 2022-06-10 08:38:50 | <spaceseller> | shows up xmobar |
| 2022-06-10 08:40:09 | <spaceseller> | xmobar is in /usr/bin while xmonad is in ~/.local/bin |

| 2022-06-10 11:44:23 | <davve_> | do you guys use xmobar? |

| 2022-06-10 11:48:54 | <geekosaur> | spaceseller, logs should be in ~/.xsession-errors |
| 2022-06-10 11:49:10 | <geekosaur> | davve_, I don't, but many people here do |
| 2022-06-10 11:49:37 | <spaceseller> | yea, I found it. and it says: |
| 2022-06-10 11:52:19 | <spaceseller> | https://pastebin.com/Dazvagky |
| 2022-06-10 11:55:13 | <geekosaur> | none of those seem to be fronm xmobar |
| 2022-06-10 11:58:43 | <spaceseller> | I wonder why arch do not have the latest xmonad/xmobar in its repository. |
| 2022-06-10 11:59:28 | <geekosaur> | nobody has it for some reason |
| 2022-06-10 11:59:52 | <spaceseller> | and the reason is? |
| 2022-06-10 12:00:04 | <geekosaur> | the word we hear is haskell maintainers keep abandoning normal distributions for Nix |
| 2022-06-10 12:00:45 | <Solid> | the BSDs have it :) |
| 2022-06-10 12:00:56 | <spaceseller> | uh |
| 2022-06-10 12:04:39 | <spaceseller> | the whole world is running by someone interests? |
| 2022-06-10 12:14:00 | <spaceseller> | I thought that arch is excluded from that. That is why I start with it. |
| 2022-06-10 12:22:10 | <spaceseller> | see you, I must go. |

| 2022-06-10 12:53:07 | <geekosaur> | @tell spaceseller this is very odd because it actually suggests a bug in lightdm when something behaves that differently between sessions |
| 2022-06-10 12:53:07 | <lambdabot> | Consider it noted. |

| 2022-06-10 13:28:40 | <davve_> | is xmobar still being developed? |
| 2022-06-10 13:33:38 | <geekosaur[m]> | Yes and a few of the developers hang out here |
| 2022-06-10 13:38:00 | <davve_> | cool |
| 2022-06-10 13:38:23 | <davve_> | maybe i will give it another try sometime |
| 2022-06-10 13:38:50 | <davve_> | but honestly i am liking polybar a lot... for me since im more comfortable with shell scripts than haskell atleast. simple and pretty... |
| 2022-06-10 13:39:26 | <davve_> | works well with XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops |
| 2022-06-10 13:43:58 | <geekosaur> | nobody said you have to use xmobar with xmonad, it's just popular |
| 2022-06-10 13:44:19 | <geekosaur> | strictly speaking it's an unrelated project |
| 2022-06-10 13:45:29 | <alternateved> | You could easily use shell scripts with xmobar. There is a Com plugin for that. |

| 2022-06-10 18:49:13 | <Guest86> | Hey! Is anybody experienced with scratchpads here? |
| 2022-06-10 18:51:34 | <geekosaur> | I use them |
| 2022-06-10 18:51:59 | <geekosaur> | well, NamedScratchpad; at the moment we have 3 different kinds of scratchpads and need to clean them up a bit :) |
| 2022-06-10 18:54:50 | <mc47[m]> | slot-[m] liskin @liskin:libera.chat: are you joining/at one of the groups this evening? |
| 2022-06-10 18:59:30 | <Guest86> | Could anyone give an idea as to why no scratchpad is showing up in my/this config? https://pastebin.com/MGQ5V967 |

| 2022-06-10 19:01:38 | <geekosaur> | is "st" in /usr/bin, or somewhere else? |
| 2022-06-10 19:02:19 | <Guest86> | according to which: /usr/local/bin/st |
| 2022-06-10 19:02:31 | <geekosaur> | typically xmonad gets started without $PATH set, so things wokr in terminals but not directly from xmonad. which is difficult when your terminal isn't in /usr/bin |
| 2022-06-10 19:02:57 | <Guest86> | Interesting! I'll try to fix that right away! |
| 2022-06-10 19:03:05 | <geekosaur> | so either use a full PATH or use System.Environment.setEnv to set "PATH" in main |
| 2022-06-10 19:04:18 | <geekosaur> | (I use a wrapper script for xmonad instead so I don't have to update my PATH in multiple places) |
| 2022-06-10 19:04:41 | <Guest86> | Did try using the full path. Didn't work sadly. It seems weird though, the usual binding for opening 'st' has worked either way! |
| 2022-06-10 19:04:48 | <Guest86> | Ah! |
| 2022-06-10 19:04:53 | <geekosaur> | interesting |
| 2022-06-10 19:06:37 | <geekosaur> | oh. do you actually have a "section" key, or do you have to press additional keys to get it? the interface xmonad uses for key bindings only supports the core plane of the keyboard, plus added modifiers like `modm` |
| 2022-06-10 19:08:47 | <Guest86> | I do, but just to be certain i switched to xK_e, which didn't work either! |
| 2022-06-10 19:09:36 | <Guest86> | It all compiles and I've followed separate tutorials, so maybe it just doesn't work! |
| 2022-06-10 19:12:24 | <geekosaur> | just dug into st, it doesn't want -name, it wants -n |
| 2022-06-10 19:12:37 | <geekosaur> | presumably it chokes on the rest of the parameter |
| 2022-06-10 19:14:08 | <Guest86> | Oh thanks, you went beyond! I tried it (along w. full path and xK_e to be safe) but it didn't work. |
| 2022-06-10 19:14:27 | <geekosaur> | can you repaste your config? |
| 2022-06-10 19:14:35 | <Guest86> | Absolutely |
| 2022-06-10 19:14:47 | <Guest86> | I did admittedly remove some unnecessary blocks |

| 2022-06-10 19:21:00 | <geekosaur> | hm, "st -n test" works here and sets WM_CLASS appropriately, and you're correctly testing `resource` |
| 2022-06-10 19:21:30 | <geekosaur> | oh! add a space before -n |
| 2022-06-10 19:21:43 | <liskin> | mc47[m]: no I'm spending the evening at my friend's home today |
| 2022-06-10 19:21:52 | <Guest86> | If it's appropriate and possible, maybe you could try the config yourself and see if a scratch shows up? |
| 2022-06-10 19:22:10 | <Guest86> | I'll try!! |
| 2022-06-10 19:22:26 | <Guest86> | IT WORKS! |
| 2022-06-10 19:22:26 | <geekosaur> | it's possible and that would be next, but as written it's trying to run "st-n scratchpad" |
| 2022-06-10 19:22:39 | <Guest86> | oh hell yeah, that even makes sense! |
| 2022-06-10 19:22:50 | <Guest86> | A big, big thanks! |
