02:20:48 × steve_ quits (~steve@ool-182c2b80.dyn.optonline.net) (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
02:34:18 <spoonm> looking at X.U.Dmenu, I see the documentation says runProcessWithInput (X.U.Run) will block XMonad's event loop until the process exits
02:34:29 <spoonm> is there a way to run a process without blocking XMonad's event loop?
02:34:39 <spoonm> the process I want to run spawns a window that needs to be managed by XMonad
02:34:48 <spoonm> but I care about the output of that program in XMonad as well
02:35:06 <geekosaur> you can't do both at the same time, no
02:35:35 <spoonm> dang it
02:37:07 <geekosaur> closest you can get is to spawn a thread which launches the program, but that thread then can't do anything that accesses or affects xmonad's state, which is single-threaded because X11 is essentially single-threaded
02:38:31 × mvk quits (~mvk@2607:fea8:5cc1:fa00::4702) (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
02:38:40 <geekosaur> (since the server connection is a socket and there's no way to say which thread should receive a message from it)

08:04:03 → cfricke joins (~cfricke@user/cfricke)
09:01:40 <Solid> Benzi-Junior: if you have a working stack-based setup, it should be as easy as pointing it to use xmonad-contrib in your stack.yaml file
09:02:42 <Solid> e.g. https://gitlab.com/slotThe/dotfiles/-/blob/master/xmonad/.config/xmonad/stack.yaml
09:16:54 × geekosaur quits (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

10:36:59 → sn3w[m] joins (~sn3w@2001:470:69fc:105::1:2d0b)
10:37:10 <sn3w[m]> \o
10:37:11 <sn3w[m]> I'm on NixOS
10:37:25 <sn3w[m]> I have a blank xmonad.hs file in ~/.xmonad
10:37:33 <sn3w[m]> When I try to open xmonad using startx
10:37:42 <sn3w[m]> Nothing appears
10:37:50 <sn3w[m]> keybinds don't work
10:46:28 <Solid> AFAIR you need at least `main = xmonad def`; I doubt a blank file would even compile (maybe NixOS does some default config magic? I don't know)
10:48:26 <sn3w[m]> Solid: https://github.com/geohot/configuration/blob/master/.xmonad/xmonad.hs Is this fine?
10:48:27 <Solid> (in any case, try `xmonad --recompile` and see what you get)
10:48:56 <Solid> there's some missing indentation
10:49:00 <Solid> I don't think this would compile
10:49:49 <Solid> indent everything below `main = do` a bit, like http://ix.io/3rh0
10:51:16 × curiousgay quits (~curiousga@77-120-141-90.kha.volia.net) (Quit: Leaving)
10:51:57 <sn3w[m]> Ooh forgot to do xmonad --recompile after updating the configuration
10:52:22 <sn3w[m]> setroot -solid gray
10:52:22 <sn3w[m]> exec /usr/bin/xmonad
10:52:30 <sn3w[m]> Is this fine for exection?
10:52:37 <sn3w[m]> * ```
10:52:37 <sn3w[m]> setroot -solid gray
10:52:37 <sn3w[m]> exec xmonad
10:52:37 <sn3w[m]> ```
10:52:56 <Solid> yeah that should be fine
10:53:20 <Solid> (normally it should check the config's modification date and recompile based on that, though)
10:53:50 <sn3w[m]> Hmm then why no mouse and keybindings?
10:59:29 <Solid> well, I don't know! :) As an additional data point, your config works just fine for me (e.g., M-S-<Enter> brings up xterm just fine)
11:00:21 <Solid> I'm not a NixOS user, so I can't way whether you need to do something special there
11:23:41 → dschrempf joins (~dominik@070-207.dynamic.dsl.fonira.net)

13:36:06 → sagax joins (~sagax_nb@user/sagax)
13:54:56 <sn3w[m]> Alright, so seems like there was a bit of misconfiguration in my xinitrc
13:55:02 <sn3w[m]> Now it works perfectly fine
13:55:43 <sn3w[m]> Also how do I get xmobar to conserve its own space so that xmonad considers that as a window and also to have xmobar appear above every window
14:00:50 → qbt joins (~qbt@user/edun)
14:05:08 <Solid> sn3w[m]: you want the `docks` combinator, I would imagine ( https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Hooks-ManageDocks.html#v:docks )
14:05:34 <Solid> I would also encourage you to go through the tutorial https://xmonad.org/TUTORIAL.html

17:05:32 × td_ quits (~td@muedsl-82-207-238-025.citykom.de) (Remote host closed the connection)
17:07:43 <Solid> liskin: I have a hackage account now; if you want (and add me to the maintainers group) I could try to release x11-xft 0.3.4 (I'm guessing we'd bump first with all of the new changes)
17:08:26 <liskin> Solid: you don't need a hackage account to release that
17:09:08 <liskin> there's a token configured in the repo
17:09:35 <Solid> oh
17:11:29 <liskin> anyway, what's the status of the other half of that code - the xmonad part?
17:11:59 <Solid> I'm guessing they're waiting on the x11-xft release to pick it back up again
17:12:31 <liskin> I thought it might be wise to postpone the release until someone's tried using that code
17:12:42 <liskin> (the kernel people have this rule and I quite like it)
17:14:03 <Solid> fair enough
17:14:16 <Solid> it's not a lot of code on the contrib side, I'll try that with what's currently in x11-xft
17:15:45 <liskin> I've had the 0.3.3 release on my "today's" todo list for over a week now, shall I just drop it, do you want to try it on that, or shall I do it anyway?
17:16:58 <liskin> it'd be making a branch, adjusting the changelog a tiny bit, releasing a candidate from the branch and making a tagged release from a branch
17:17:56 <Solid> 0.3.3 as in everything up to https://github.com/xmonad/X11-xft/commit/24f6275791f2212215047f7af898750b7846810e or things beyond that as well?
17:18:46 <liskin> up to https://github.com/xmonad/X11-xft/commit/b61d0e08986db087e557001542def3405bc8cf03
17:20:20 <Solid> I don't see any harm with releasing that as well
17:20:32 <Solid> if it's not a total chore for you feel free to do it :)
17:21:29 <liskin> okay
17:22:01 × srk quits (~sorki@user/srk) (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
17:47:34 → cyr4x3 joins (~cyr4x3@139.47.118.87)
17:48:01 <Solid> liskin: a first tests seems to indicate that font fallback works and the prompt also doesn't crash if only one font is specified
17:51:30 → srk joins (~sorki@user/srk)

17:54:30 × geekosaur quits (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur) (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by allbery_b)))
17:54:33 allbery_b is now known as geekosaur
18:04:25 <liskin> good; 0.3.3 is out
18:13:53 × td_ quits (~td@muedsl-82-207-238-021.citykom.de) (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
18:15:43 → td_ joins (~td@94.134.91.22)
18:16:21 × qbt quits (~qbt@user/edun) (Quit: Leaving.)
18:28:17 <liskin> Solid: have you thought the X11-xft dependency bump through? (I haven't, but someone should)
18:28:49 <liskin> oh, I just got an e-mail that looks like an answer
18:29:41 <liskin> or not
18:31:11 → curiousgay joins (~curiousga@77-120-141-90.kha.volia.net)
18:35:20 <Solid> liskin: I have not but I don't see what would break; the releases don't contain any breaking changes and x11-xft builds with ghc that are even older than what xmonad supports
18:37:05 <liskin> Solid: stack init with only xmonad/xmonad-contrib might break, perhaps? or will it automatically detect that X11-xft needs to be added to extra-deps?
18:38:38 × cyr4x3 quits (~cyr4x3@139.47.118.87) (Quit: WeeChat 2.3)
18:41:22 <Solid> I would hope it's smart enough to do that
18:41:24 <Solid> let's see
18:44:22 <geekosaur> mm, I should probably have tested that with cabal too. maybe I updated my local project too soon after all
18:45:05 <liskin> I'd expect cabal to just work, as it doesn't freeze dep versions unless you tell it to
