01:47:14 <Hash> My Xmonad community
01:48:10 <Hash> I buried my older brother today with my own hands. I carried him to his final resting place and shoveled the Earth onto his grave.
01:49:08 <Hash> He was an ER nurse, a COVID first responder, the most loving and kind soul... My entire life... 40 years... I cannot recall a single person who disliked him
01:49:38 <Hash> He was a brillaint painter, an exceptional singer, that when he sang, you could not help but be moved. His voice induced chills.
01:49:51 <Hash> My heart is broken into a million pieces.
01:50:29 <L29Ah> did he use xmonad?
01:50:30 <Hash> I shed not one tear in front of my family and did my best to support my mother and sister.
01:50:44 <Hash> But here in front of you, I cannot help but weep uncontrollably.
01:50:53 <Hash> I cannot be a man in this moment. I have to break down and let it out.
01:51:12 <Hash> Please... whatever you may believe, pray that my mother and sister can find peace.

10:46:56 <Solid> holy shit, Hash I'm very sorry for your loss
10:49:10 <Solid> Liskni_si: I don't think pandoc-2.11 is needed to generate the manpage, it just happened to be the version I was using when I rebuild it in #258
10:49:53 <Solid> And I'm not sure what you mean by "it doesn't build in LTS 16", as it build just fine for me; do you mean that, for some reason, the CI can't build it?

11:30:52 <Liskni_si> Solid: that's truly weird, it doesn't build here
11:31:40 <Liskni_si> there's pandoc 2.9 in LTS 16, and the current version of GenerateManpage requires pandoc 2.11, which has different API
11:32:01 <Liskni_si> I can't see how you could build it with LTS 16 :-/
11:32:20 <Solid> Oo
11:32:24 <Solid> that is weird indeed
11:32:33 <Liskni_si> (apart from overriding pandoc in extra-deps in stack.yaml)
11:34:40 ericsagnes joins (~ericsagne@2405:6580:0:5100:f012:7b5e:9a6:fec2)
11:37:19 <Solid> oh, my zsh history tells me I actually build it with cabal instead of stack
11:37:22 <Solid> well, nvmd then :)
11:40:21 <Liskni_si> good, I'm not hallucinating or delusional then
12:19:50 <afreak> trying the 'RefocusLast' module, it works nice with normal-floating-windows, but it does not seem to work with NamedScratchpad-floating-windows, is there something different you have to do to make it work with NamedScrathpad ?

13:09:26 <afreak> seems refocuslast only works if the floating window is being closed, not if its shifted to another workspace
13:18:12 <afreak> lol it even says so in the module ^^ sorry

14:08:53 <sillyKitty> I'm having issues getting the prompts in Xmonad to work, after importing and binding xmonadPrompt to a keybinding, nothing happens, no errors in xmonad.error, I've confirmed it is not the keybinding by attaching a spawn instead of the prompt, not sure where to go from here

14:26:52 <Solid> sillyKitty: have you given `xmonadPrompt' its required XPConfig argument?
14:27:25 <sillyKitty> yup, I've used def, amberXPConfig, and greenXPConfig as well as modifying def, no go
14:28:57 <Solid> as a sanity check, xmonad --recompile does not produce any errors, right?
14:29:05 <sillyKitty> correct
14:30:58 <sillyKitty> Ive also run it on a default config with no xmobar and it also doesn't appear anywhere
14:32:50 materiyolo joins (~materiyol@112.204.170.198)
14:33:43 <Solid> that sounds truly weird
14:33:45 dariof4 joins (~dario@217.171.66.75)
14:34:29 <Solid> can you check your xsession-log (or however it's called)
14:34:42 × materiyolo quits (~materiyol@112.204.170.198) (Client Quit)
14:35:35 <geekosaur> that can mean a font is missing and it's throwing an exception
14:36:06 <geekosaur> modern linux systems don't install the "fixed" bitmap font which is the default (and used to be part of base X11)
14:36:20 <sillyKitty> I checked the /var/log/Xorg.* files and nothing there, but the font sounds plausable, hadn't considered that
14:37:05 <Solid> depending on how you start your X server you may have to redirect things to your own log file
14:37:54 <Solid> but the font thing sounds the most plausible; I remember reading some issue about arch and default fonts

14:41:39 <sillyKitty> yup, that was it, hardcoded a font in there and it started up ... then the whole thing froze, but I think I can probably debug that, thanks!

15:23:55 <toniz4> I'm having a problem using this, when using an icon it doesn't work. Here is the error https://0x0.st/-zs1.txt
15:27:01 <Irishluck83> is that a font awesome icon?

15:30:44 <Solid> try using "\57649" explicitly instead of the icon
15:30:56 <Solid> (yes it's a hack, but it'll probably work ;)
15:31:02 <Irishluck83> that i was thinking or to see if it had those

15:39:43 <Irishluck83> nope
15:40:05 <Irishluck83> if you want something like that for your workspaces you need to do the same thing
15:40:32 <Solid> GHC _should_ be completely UTF-8 compliant
15:40:48 <Solid> but I remember string literals being kinda flaky sometimes
15:40:59 <Solid> there are a few issues about this on gitlab, but all of them are closed
15:41:11 <Solid> it's probably some unicode table somewhere that's out of date

17:15:56 <Liskni_si> I do have to confess that the exchange with Peter has made me extremely demotivated.
17:18:20 <vrs> eh your argument seems sound
17:18:55 <vrs> if it fixes a build problem and simplifies dependencies, it's a measurable improvement
17:22:00 <Liskni_si> The entirety of GenerateManpage could probably be a oneliner in sed or make or perl or something, yet here we are arguing which exact half a gig worth of deps is the best one to use.
17:22:07 <Liskni_si> This is fuckin bollocks.
17:22:14 <Liskni_si> (sorry for the language)
17:35:16 <vrs> you could always be stuck arguing with a maintainer over irrelevant formatting details that only happen because they refuse to use an autoformatter

17:37:27 <Liskni_si> I'd actually prefer that :-(
17:37:31 <Liskni_si> or :-)
17:41:51 <Solid> calling 8.8.x an old compiler is a bit... well, weird
17:48:24 <Solid> and I don't really understand this pr
17:49:19 <Solid> we switch to 8.10 because "development should take place withrecent versions of our dependencies", but we have to support the old GHC versions anyways
17:49:52 <Solid> and what if a developer wants to update the man page, but their distro doesn't ship 8.10 yet? do they have to compile GHC themselves for that?

18:15:45 geekosaur joins (42d52137@66.213.33.55)
18:15:58 <sfrique> hello, is there a "better" way for running xmobars when changing number of monitor? For instance, I just want to start one xmobar if there is only 1 output, but star two if there is two. Right now it starts two all the time.
18:16:29 <geekosaur> XMonad.Actions.DynamicBars?
18:17:24 <sfrique> let me look!
18:18:36 <sfrique> it seems it could do the trick, i will take a look.
18:18:40 <sfrique> thanks!
18:19:26 <sfrique> the other problem is related to salonetray, but i guess a simple restart with different configs should do the trick. If you know a way to do this in xmonad itself it would be good.
18:19:53 <sfrique> I am currently going to use grobi to manage multi screens changes. Not sure if this is possible with xmonad itself

18:31:21 <mc47> What's the general feeling about using the combinator (.) . (.) ? :-) I'm tempted to use it in the PR I'm writing...
18:31:55 <Solid> I like multivariant composition
18:33:31 <mc47> I do too !
18:33:35 <Solid> and I think in the case of `(.) . (.)' (I've seen this being defined as `(.:)') it's easy enough to see what's going on

18:34:26 <mc47> I like that symbol too

18:35:31 <Solid> hah
18:35:37 <Solid> in that case it seems fine
18:35:45 <mc47> Nice!
18:35:46 <Solid> (to me)
18:36:22 <mc47> BTW, the issue I mentioned last time with "cleanupStatusBars" was completely avoidable
18:43:50 <Liskni_si> So, um, is this (https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/pull/261#issuecomment-757349330) person really telling me that I should cut out the ad hominem attacks?
18:44:16 <Liskni_si> I was always bad at dealing with people, so I'd use a hint or something :-)
18:44:22 <Solid> uff
18:44:22 <geekosaur> their latest seems more like an ad hominem attack
18:44:32 <Solid> maybe they're having a bad day or something
18:45:04 <Liskni_si> Maybe I should give this a break, yeah.
18:51:05 × notis quits (~notis@45.134.22.54) (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
18:53:28 <Solid> I feel like if you do this issue will just stay open for months without any resolution :/
18:54:05 <Liskni_si> I meant waiting a few days.
18:54:49 <Liskni_si> I think it's pretty clear the problem has been acknowledged by now. We just need to calm down the discussion and agree upon an approach to solving it.
18:55:15 <Solid> ah I see
18:55:23 <Solid> yeah that sounds reasonable
