| 2021-10-15 22:43:40 | <Guest31> | is this normal? |
| 2021-10-15 22:43:46 | <liskin> | yes |
| 2021-10-15 22:45:03 | <liskin> | (although the message is a bit different in the latest version…) |
| 2021-10-15 22:45:56 | <Guest31> | could the problem be in how i start the session? |
| 2021-10-15 22:47:01 | <Guest31> | its just an xmonad.session with exec=xmonad |
| 2021-10-15 22:47:29 | <Guest31> | *xmonad.desktop |
| 2021-10-15 22:51:12 | <Guest31> | changing the terminal and mod+q does nothing |
| 2021-10-15 22:51:38 | <Guest31> | recompiling from terminal works, but doesnt change the terminal |

| 2021-10-15 22:57:06 | <geekosaur> | ou using the right mod key? if you're still using the one you pasted earlier, it'll be the windows key instead of (left) alt |

| 2021-10-15 22:58:52 | <Guest31> | i think there might be something wrong with my paths :/ |

| 2021-10-15 23:28:12 | <FOSSHuman[m]> | Hey guys, one of my monitors are old and disconnect sometimes, I was wondering how I would run a script (simple wallpaper setter script using feh) on screen change events, would I use XMonad.Hooks.Rescreen?? |
| 2021-10-15 23:28:54 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 2021-10-15 23:31:18 | <FOSSHuman[m]> | K thanks!! |

| 2021-10-16 08:36:57 | Solid | wonders if it's worth defining "proper" versions of <&&> and <||> at this point |
| 2021-10-16 08:37:16 | <liskin> | proper as in short-circuiting? |
| 2021-10-16 08:37:26 | <Solid> | I've seen them used more and more lately (maybe that's just my impression) and I really don't like that they're strict on both arguments |

| 2021-10-16 08:38:08 | <liskin> | it'd be a breaking change but I'd say it might be worth it |

| 2021-10-16 09:13:07 | <ranmacar> | Hello! What could be the problem if mod+q doesn't work? |
| 2021-10-16 09:14:20 | <Solid> | does `xmonad --recompile' in a terminal work? |
| 2021-10-16 09:15:18 | <ranmacar> | yes, but doesn't apply the changes |
| 2021-10-16 09:16:14 | <ranmacar> | just prints "XMonad will use ghc to recompile, because "/home/ranmacar/.xmonad/build" does not exist. |
| 2021-10-16 09:16:15 | <ranmacar> | XMonad recompilation process exited with success!" |
| 2021-10-16 09:18:56 | <Solid> | `xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart' will apply the changes |
| 2021-10-16 09:19:03 | <Solid> | (M-q does not actually do much more than that) |
| 2021-10-16 09:19:16 | <Solid> | do you have xmessage installed? it should print an error in case anything goes wrong |
| 2021-10-16 09:21:13 | <ranmacar> | i have, and it does show an error when there is a typo in the config on --recompile |
| 2021-10-16 09:21:30 | <ranmacar> | but mod+q doesn't do anything |
| 2021-10-16 09:22:18 | <ranmacar> | with --restart it worked, thanks |
| 2021-10-16 09:23:22 | <ranmacar> | any idea what would break the mod+q? |
| 2021-10-16 09:23:28 | <ranmacar> | my config is just |
| 2021-10-16 09:23:30 | <ranmacar> | import XMonad |
| 2021-10-16 09:23:30 | <ranmacar> | main = xmonad defaultConfig |
| 2021-10-16 09:23:31 | <ranmacar> | { modMask = mod4Mask -- Use Super instead of Alt |
| 2021-10-16 09:23:31 | <ranmacar> | , terminal = "alacritty" |
| 2021-10-16 09:23:32 | <ranmacar> | } |
| 2021-10-16 09:23:40 | <Solid> | are you pressing the right mod key? |
| 2021-10-16 09:23:59 | <Solid> | are you on an exotic system like nixos where there could be path problems with finding both xmonad and xmessage? |
| 2021-10-16 09:24:32 | <ranmacar> | i am on arch, installed xmonad with ghcup / cabal |
| 2021-10-16 09:26:14 | <ranmacar> | where does mod+q source the path from? |
| 2021-10-16 09:28:12 | <ranmacar> | i am starting it with a .desktop in xsessions, with just exec xmonad |
| 2021-10-16 09:30:50 | <ranmacar> | s+mod+q, and other default bindings do work |
| 2021-10-16 09:31:00 | <Solid> | it just looks in $PATH |
| 2021-10-16 09:31:13 | <Solid> | What M-q essentially does is `/bin/sh -c "if type xmonad; then xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart; else xmessage xmonad not in $PATH: \"$PATH\"; fi"' |

| 2021-10-16 09:33:17 | <ranmacar> | maybe /bin/sh doesnt see the path for xmonad and xmessage then? |
| 2021-10-16 09:33:39 | <Solid> | one one way to find out :) |

| 2021-10-16 09:34:44 | <ranmacar> | i'm a bit lost in paths and shells atm, think this install defaults to fish :) |
| 2021-10-16 09:35:21 | <Solid> | I doubt /bin/sh is actually bound to fish |
| 2021-10-16 09:35:41 | <Solid> | but you can probably just copy that line above and see if it runs on your system |
| 2021-10-16 09:37:28 | <ranmacar> | yeah, works. if i run bin/sh it sees xmonad, but maybe mod+q gets the path before it gets set? |

| 2021-10-16 09:40:57 | <Solid> | well I'm out of ideas :) is there anything in ~/.xsession-erros (or an equivalent file)? |

| 2021-10-16 09:42:45 | <Solid> | how are you starting X? |
| 2021-10-16 09:43:49 | <ranmacar> | not sure, the session starts from /xsessions |
| 2021-10-16 09:45:51 | <tomsmeding> | where are you putting the path to where xmonad lives in your PATH? Perhaps in your shell config? |
| 2021-10-16 09:46:12 | <Solid> | I mean something along the line of are you using a login manager/startx/something else? |
| 2021-10-16 09:46:24 | <FOSSHuman[m]> | How would I combine two spawn functions?? |
| 2021-10-16 09:46:52 | <ranmacar> | yeah, login manager, with xmonad.desktop that starts with exec=xmonad |
| 2021-10-16 09:48:52 | <ranmacar> | tomsmeding i've tried various places to set the path, /etc/profile /xinitrc fish config |
