| 2022-03-08 18:31:25 | <geekosaur> | you might try it with the nightly resolver, which has 0.17.0 |
| 2022-03-08 18:32:14 | <geekosaur> | (stackage hasn't yet released an LTS with xmonad 0.17) |
| 2022-03-08 18:32:21 | <iqubic> | No, I'm certainly using 0.17.0.9. |
| 2022-03-08 18:32:34 | <iqubic> | which xmonad gives ~/.local/bin/xmonad |
| 2022-03-08 18:32:43 | <iqubic> | and xmonad --version gives 0.17.0.9 |
| 2022-03-08 18:33:07 | <geekosaur> | that's not what your stack.yaml says. is it actually being used? |
| 2022-03-08 18:33:17 | <iqubic> | I'm not sure. |
| 2022-03-08 18:33:31 | <geekosaur> | you are using resolver 18.27 and do not have extra-packages pointing to git releases |
| 2022-03-08 18:33:49 | <geekosaur> | erm, extra-deps |
| 2022-03-08 18:34:15 | <iqubic> | Yes, but I have the full sources for xmonad on my system. |
| 2022-03-08 18:34:45 | <geekosaur> | stack won't be using them without an extra-deps stamnza pointing to them |
| 2022-03-08 18:34:55 | <iqubic> | I cloned xmonad and xmonad-contrib in to my ~/.config/xmonad directory and then ran "stack init" |
| 2022-03-08 18:34:57 | <geekosaur> | unless you are installing by some means other than stack |
| 2022-03-08 18:35:36 | <geekosaur> | mm, maybe. I admit I don't know stack that well, but my understanding is you need extra-deps for stack to actually use those checkouts |
| 2022-03-08 18:35:40 | <iqubic> | No. After cloning the sources, then running stack init, I then ran stack install. |
| 2022-03-08 18:36:02 | <geekosaur> | on the other hand, you apparently have the right version running. so the question is why isn;t it seeing your config |
| 2022-03-08 18:36:23 | <geekosaur> | can you doublecheck you really don't have ~/.xmonad ? |
| 2022-03-08 18:36:44 | <geekosaur> | also see if `echo $XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR` says something |
| 2022-03-08 18:36:49 | <iqubic> | I really don't have a ~/.xmonad directory. |
| 2022-03-08 18:37:49 | <geekosaur> | (also I need someone who understands stack better than I do…) |
| 2022-03-08 18:38:32 | <iqubic> | Should I try reinstalling xmonad, using a method you understand better? |
| 2022-03-08 18:39:01 | <geekosaur> | probably not since cmonad --version is returning the right thing; it's far more likely that I'm confused than that something is wrong |
| 2022-03-08 18:39:15 | <geekosaur> | does `xmonad --recompile` do anything useful? |
| 2022-03-08 18:39:35 | <iqubic> | It succeeds with no errors |
| 2022-03-08 18:40:03 | <iqubic> | I don't seem to have any $XMONAD_CONFIG value set. |
| 2022-03-08 18:40:26 | <iqubic> | echo $XMONAD_CONFIG is returning a blank line. |
| 2022-03-08 18:40:40 | <geekosaur> | it's XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR |
| 2022-03-08 18:41:04 | <iqubic> | Also not set for me. |
| 2022-03-08 18:41:28 | <geekosaur> | odd |
| 2022-03-08 18:41:40 | <geekosaur> | just for grins and giggles, try `xmonad --restart` |
| 2022-03-08 18:42:43 | <iqubic> | That's still not using my config |
| 2022-03-08 18:42:50 | <geekosaur> | :( |
| 2022-03-08 18:44:52 | <iqubic> | I had this working the other day. The only thing that changed was that I deleted my binaries and swtiched from a version installed with cabal, to one installed with stack |
| 2022-03-08 18:45:32 | <iqubic> | Shall I delete the stack binary and switch back to cabal? |
| 2022-03-08 18:45:45 | <geekosaur> | I don;t see how that would help |

| 2022-03-08 18:46:11 | <geekosaur> | the stack binary is working well enough to find and recompile your config, it should be working well enough to find and use your config |

| 2022-03-08 18:51:37 | <geekosaur> | hm. can you check that something didn't reconfigure your display manager to run a different xmonad? |
| 2022-03-08 18:51:55 | <iqubic> | I'll try checking that, yeah. |
| 2022-03-08 18:54:56 | <iqubic> | I just deleted the stack binaries, and reinstalled using cabal. Now it works properly. |
| 2022-03-08 18:56:34 | <iqubic> | With that issue solved, I bid you farewell. |

| 2022-03-08 18:59:18 | <geekosaur> | I can't see why stack would have done that, unless your config waspointing at a cabal-installed one instead and it's looking in the wrong place |

| 2022-03-08 21:11:03 | <iqubic> | What's the difference between the doSink and doLower manage hooks? |
| 2022-03-08 21:18:40 | <geekosaur> | "sink"means moving form the floating layer to the tiled layer. "lower" is what it says on the tin |
| 2022-03-08 21:19:01 | <geekosaur> | (sink as the opposite of float) |
| 2022-03-08 21:22:23 | <geekosaur> | thta is,lower puts a window below all other windows |
| 2022-03-08 21:23:47 | <iqubic> | Ah. I see. |
| 2022-03-08 21:24:09 | <iqubic> | Do floating windows that have focus automatically become raised? |
| 2022-03-08 21:24:57 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 2022-03-08 21:26:07 | <iqubic> | Is there a way to automatically lower all tiling windows? |
| 2022-03-08 21:28:50 | <geekosaur> | tiled windows are always below floating windows. otherwise their z-order is determined by the layout and there's no way to override it exscept to use a different layout |
| 2022-03-08 21:57:30 | <iqubic> | How I get the className and titleName properties for a given window? |
| 2022-03-08 21:58:06 | <geekosaur> | they are the first and second strings reported for WM_CLASS |
| 2022-03-08 21:58:28 | <geekosaur> | or there'sa script in contrib iirc which outputs it in manageHook form |
| 2022-03-08 21:58:49 | <iqubic> | And how do I get that value? Is there a command line tool I can use? |
| 2022-03-08 21:58:52 | <geekosaur> | https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/scripts/window-properties.sh |
| 2022-03-08 21:59:17 | <geekosaur> | or just: xprop WM_CLASS, then click on the window |
| 2022-03-08 21:59:29 | <iqubic> | Thanks. |
| 2022-03-08 22:00:57 | <iqubic> | Now, is there a guide to xmobar configuration? I have my XMobarPP set up properly in xmonad.hs. I want to configure font choice, font size, and which other widgets I use. |
| 2022-03-08 22:01:28 | <iqubic> | I'm just gonna do the default xmobarrc plain text configuration style |
