| 14:06:12 | <FOSSHuman[m]> | Have any of you guys watched any of DT's videos?, his videos helped me greatly when I was a beginner in XMonad (still am).. |
| 14:06:28 | <FOSSHuman[m]> | He even explains everything in his config in one video.. |
| 14:07:21 | <FOSSHuman[m]> | I mainly watched him to just get a sense of what XMonad was and what is possible with it... |

| 15:08:35 | liskin | hasn't seen enough content to go as far, and, having placed myself quite firmly in the center of the technopolitical scale, can kind of empathize with one feeling the need to denounce either of the extremes, but usually knows better to not comment (so I promise to myself to not say anything more than this) |
| 15:34:56 | <mc47> | liskin: should we make ?-> a top-level function? |
| 15:35:30 | <geekosaur> | hm, doesn't it need composeOne? |
| 15:36:03 | <geekosaur> | or am I confused about what you're asking? |
| 15:36:38 | <mc47> | I'm talking about the ppPrinters |

| 15:45:51 | <mc47> | fallbackPritners would look a bit more verbose, but copiesPP would avoid redefining the function |

| 16:21:26 | <mc47[m]> | I'll think of something, but I don't have nothing against it |
| 16:21:57 | <geekosaur> | I already pointed to one potential problem |
| 16:22:39 | <geekosaur> | hm, no, that one puts the ? in the wrong place. still, it's confusing |
| 16:22:52 | <geekosaur> | (ManageHelpers composeOne uses -?>) |
| 16:23:26 | <geekosaur> | something naming something something hardest problem something |
| 16:41:42 | <alternateved> | I am curious, is there any reason that lineNavigation is the default navigation in X.A.Navigation2D module? |
| 16:43:44 | <alternateved> | Seems that with the default lineNavigation, movement between master and two slaves windows gets stuck |
| 16:45:52 | <geekosaur> | "Line navigation and Side navigation feel rather natural but may make it impossible to navigate to a given window from the current window, particularly in the floating layer. Center navigation feels less natural in certain situations but ensures that all windows can be reached without the need to involve the mouse." |
| 16:46:27 | <geekosaur> | there's also a paper presenting the details of the navigation strategies: http://www.cs.dal.ca/~nzeh/xmonad/Navigation2D.pdf |
| 16:46:47 | <geekosaur> | (I just verified it's not a dead link) |
| 16:46:53 | <alternateved> | Whoa, what |
| 16:48:15 | <Solid> | alternateved: lineNavigation shouldn't get stuck in that situation (judging solely from its docs) |
| 16:48:38 | <Solid> | it might if you have gaps (we had that situation here a while ago) |
| 16:48:49 | <alternateved> | I would need to test it once again, since I stopped using it. |
| 16:49:05 | <alternateved> | But yeah, with gaps (created by Spacing) I had that issue. |
| 16:49:39 | <Solid> | the docs mention sideNavigation is being more intuitive for X.L.Spacing stuff |
| 16:50:00 | <alternateved> | Ah, I see. So I guess that is my bias. |
| 16:50:37 | <Solid> | to be fair, one does have to look at the docs of the individual strategies |
| 16:51:25 | <Solid> | (and while I think that that module has excellent documentation, a quick list of all the strategies and their uses at the top level may be nice) |
| 16:51:50 | <alternateved> | I guess explicit mention of the lineNavigation not working so well with Spacing would be good |
| 16:51:55 | <geekosaur> | there's already a list at the top, it just doesn't really say when to use them |
| 16:52:39 | <geekosaur> | and maybe instead of italics they should be links to the specific strategies |
| 17:02:00 | <geekosaur> | ok, filed an issue. whether we want to address it for 0.17 given the short time we have is another question |
| 17:06:01 | <alternateved> | Oh, didn't expect that! Thanks. |
| 17:07:40 | <geekosaur> | good docs are always a good thing. Navigation2D is one of the better ones, but there is clearly room for improvement |

| 18:20:16 | <Solid> | liskin: how come some people get that ugly github.noreply email when they merge something and others do not? |

| 22:20:04 | <eqw> | Hello. My xmobar is now behind any windows and thus invisible and almost useless. This problem didn't exist until today. Restart of X doesn't help. What else can I do? |
| 22:20:45 | <geekosaur> | sounds like you lost avoidStruts somewhere in your layoutHook |
| 22:21:23 | → | mestre joins (~mestre@191.177.175.57) |
| 22:22:08 | <geekosaur> | since that's what forces windows to resize around the status bar |
| 22:22:23 | <eqw> | but I didn't touch my ~/.xmonad/xmobar.hs since 2017 |
| 22:23:28 | <eqw> | and neither I touched ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs since 2020 |
| 22:24:02 | <geekosaur> | conceivably you took an update that changed things, although it'd have had to be really delayed for it to be one of the xmonad changes that affected this |
| 22:24:46 | <geekosaur> | might have been an xmobar update, I think they changed the interaction between override_redirect and lowerOnStart? |
| 22:25:10 | <geekosaur> | sadly liskin's the one who knows xmobar but I think he gave up and went to bed |
| 22:30:14 | <liskin> | I wanted to, but haven't managed to go yet :-) |
| 22:30:33 | <eqw> | so neither xmonad nor xmobar store on disk any info between runs? |
| 22:30:55 | <liskin> | eqw: if you haven't changed config, what did you change? did you upgrade anything? |
| 22:31:01 | <liskin> | or perhaps downgrade? :-) |
| 22:31:30 | <eqw> | liskin: nothing, i believe |
| 22:32:04 | <liskin> | xmonad stores state, but restarting X clears that, so it's as if it didn't |
| 22:32:42 | <geekosaur> | xmonad and xmobar only store their configs. there's some information xmonad passes between running instances during mod-q but if that's sticking around it's a bug |
| 22:32:54 | <geekosaur> | that said you might see if mod-shift-space changes anything |
| 22:33:05 | <geekosaur> | (this will reset layouts) |
| 22:34:15 | <liskin> | I don't think there were changes in xmobar around override_redirect/lowerOnStart lately, it's been that way for ages |
| 22:34:24 | <eqw> | the screen is blinking when i press mod-shift-space. I mean, I see xmobar for a part of second. |
| 22:34:56 | <geekosaur> | yes, it forces a refresh. but this sounds like the layout is broken, then |
| 22:35:30 | <liskin> | and xmonad's handling of this was touched lately, but not in a way that would need config changes, or break it; more the other way around, we made it more tolerant of misconfigurations and fixed bugs |
| 22:36:01 | <liskin> | so the only scenario I can think of that would explain this is eqm upgrading from xmonad 0.11 to xmonad 0.13/0.15 or something :-) |
| 22:36:21 | <liskin> | *eqw I mean |
| 22:38:04 | <liskin> | (and if that's what happened, the solution is to either use "docks" instead of "docksEventHook", or to upgrade to the current git master, which makes "docksEventHook" alone work again) |
| 22:38:25 | <geekosaur> | might be worth seeing your config to see if there are bugs in it (or bugs in xmonad that it uncovers) |
| 22:38:27 | <eqw> | I upgraded my ubuntu from 16.04 to 20.04, but it took place about year ago |

| 22:39:01 | <liskin> | eqw: an update of ubuntu doesn't force xmonad to recompile, though |
| 22:39:12 | <liskin> | so it's possible you were running an old binary |
| 22:39:20 | <liskin> | and then something forced it to rebuild today |

| 22:41:35 | <liskin> | 2021-10-21 is today, so that indeed suggests it recompiled today for some reason |
| 22:42:18 | <liskin> | oh, right, you have neither docksEventHook nor docksStartupHook there |
| 22:42:43 | <liskin> | that's indeed a config that should be broken since 0.12-ish |
