| 2021-10-10 19:54:13 | <jakefromstatefar> | I didn't make a list, I made a long chain of them joined by `|||`. Unless that's what you're referring to. |
| 2021-10-10 19:54:31 | <geekosaur> | also fully specified layoutHook types are messy and nasty; I just let them be inferred |
| 2021-10-10 19:54:49 | <geekosaur> | even though normally I prefer specifying types |
| 2021-10-10 19:55:16 | <jakefromstatefar> | I get that. |
| 2021-10-10 19:55:56 | <jakefromstatefar> | I stopped typing about half my xmonad config because it got tedious to maintain. In my config, I only type something when it breaks without it. |
| 2021-10-10 19:56:18 | <jakefromstatefar> | Probably not the best habit... But it's saved me time |
| 2021-10-10 19:56:20 | <jakefromstatefar> | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| 2021-10-10 19:57:53 | <geekosaur> | there's also that you're often just restating the layoutHook itself, often morer verbosely |
| 2021-10-10 19:58:22 | <geekosaur> | since the layoutHook is usually a chain of data constructors (or simple wrappers thereof) |
| 2021-10-10 20:02:47 | <jakefromstatefar> | Yeah |
| 2021-10-10 20:03:18 | <jakefromstatefar> | After reading those long errors closer, I was able to resolve most of them by fixing some declarations. Turns out I'd missed a few arguments here and there. |
| 2021-10-10 20:03:34 | <jakefromstatefar> | Those example docs probably need some updating in that regard. |
| 2021-10-10 20:04:12 | <geekosaur> | possibly |
| 2021-10-10 20:05:03 | <jakefromstatefar> | Since I've made all the examples work (all but 1, so far) maybe I could update them. That would be one heck of a script to write, or a lot of time though... |
| 2021-10-10 20:05:22 | <geekosaur> | actually if you mean docs in the module haddocks themselves, then by all means report bugs for the ones that are wrong |
| 2021-10-10 20:05:39 | <jakefromstatefar> | I do mean the haddocks. |
| 2021-10-10 20:07:27 | <geekosaur> | also if you think any of them could be clarified, report those too (possibly with matching PRs) |
| 2021-10-10 20:07:59 | <geekosaur> | some of them, especially the earlier ones, assume the user is well versed in Haskell and/or Unix |
| 2021-10-10 20:08:19 | <geekosaur> | but that hasn't been true of the xmonad community in general since 0.4ish |
| 2021-10-10 20:08:41 | <jakefromstatefar> | Yeah. Turns out the module exported its own `Tall`, I had to qualify the import, and pull it that way. |
| 2021-10-10 20:08:49 | <jakefromstatefar> | But, it compiled! |
| 2021-10-10 20:08:59 | <jakefromstatefar> | So, I can start mucking with the screenshots now. |
| 2021-10-10 20:10:16 | <jakefromstatefar> | Oh dear... I think I just ran into the black screen bug. |
| 2021-10-10 20:10:52 | <jakefromstatefar> | On a secondary TTY, I fired it up, after 3s of just sitting there, not accepting input or showing the mouse, it went completely black. |
| 2021-10-10 20:10:57 | <jakefromstatefar> | My other session's fine though. |
| 2021-10-10 20:11:23 | <geekosaur> | check stderr, wherever it's going/being logged, for exception output; that often means it defaulted to Full |
| 2021-10-10 20:11:40 | <geekosaur> | which is all it can do if the layout causes an exception |
| 2021-10-10 20:17:08 | <jakefromstatefar> | The last ~200 lines of the log: https://p.bsd-unix.net/view/d042e93f |
| 2021-10-10 20:17:55 | <jakefromstatefar> | That was from my Xorg log, my stderr had the errors it usually does. It loves to complain about missing keymaps, but it works fine. |
| 2021-10-10 20:19:30 | <geekosaur> | I needed the stderr, not xorg, but I do fild the nvidia permissions stuff at the end suspicious |
| 2021-10-10 20:19:49 | <geekosaur> | and that could also lead to a black screen just because the display buffer is too confused to display at all |
| 2021-10-10 20:20:42 | <geekosaur> | I don't have any nvidia-based stuff here so I never bothered to learn about it and don't know what would cause the permissions error |
| 2021-10-10 20:22:00 | <geekosaur> | mm, come to think of it an exception in the layout might not get reported usefully, might need to set GHCRTS=-xc in the environment before running xmonad |
| 2021-10-10 20:24:24 | <jakefromstatefar> | Hm, turns out I had an alacritty flag wrong, so my terminal wasn't showing up. But, whenever I try to change windows, my xmobar disappears. |
| 2021-10-10 20:24:38 | <jakefromstatefar> | So, not the black screen bug, false alarm. But still a strange occurance. |
| 2021-10-10 20:25:08 | <geekosaur> | do you have avoidStruts in the right place? |
| 2021-10-10 20:25:16 | <geekosaur> | @where paste |
| 2021-10-10 20:25:16 | <lambdabot> | Help us help you: please paste full code, input and/or output at e.g. https://paste.tomsmeding.com |
| 2021-10-10 20:25:45 | <jakefromstatefar> | I don't have it at all yet, but, even after removing the windows, or floating them and moving them... It's still gone. |
| 2021-10-10 20:26:10 | <geekosaur> | ok, that sounds weird |
| 2021-10-10 20:26:21 | <jakefromstatefar> | If I start it manually it's fine. |
| 2021-10-10 20:26:36 | <geekosaur> | unless you are also missing manageDocks and then xmobar will behave oddly at best |
| 2021-10-10 20:26:54 | <jakefromstatefar> | nope, vanilla docks behavior in this config |
| 2021-10-10 20:36:46 | <jakefromstatefar> | Oh, misconfigured loghook. |
| 2021-10-10 20:36:54 | <jakefromstatefar> | weird behavior for that though... |
| 2021-10-10 20:39:27 | <geekosaur> | if the behavior expresses as an exception you quietly get the Full layout (actually the no-layout default; layout Full is literally instance LayoutClass Full where {}) |

| 2021-10-11 00:44:05 | <jakefromstatefar> | <geekosaur> "a lot of scripting, I think" <- The script itself was fairly straightforward, actually. :) |
| 2021-10-11 00:44:31 | <jakefromstatefar> | The part that took the most effort was writing the layoutHook. |
| 2021-10-11 00:45:00 | <jakefromstatefar> | There's still a few that I missed. Some of them don't really work for screenshots, or they're utility functions used in other layouts. |
| 2021-10-11 00:45:12 | <jakefromstatefar> | And, some require manual intervention to properly display. |
| 2021-10-11 00:45:20 | <jakefromstatefar> | So, I'll get to those. |
