00:02:24 <geekosaur> o.O I'd use the Xrm library, since that's what it's there fore

04:44:04 <galactic_starfis> I didn't use .Xresources, but I have a similar thing, if you're interested.
04:44:34 <galactic_starfis> It just pulls from specific files, and if one doesn't exist, it pulls from the next, etc, etc, with a fallback of some default colors.
04:45:12 <galactic_starfis> I'm curious if it could ever be built in a way so that you could achieve color switching without having to restart XMonad.
04:45:25 <galactic_starfis> Given the types surrounding it all though... Unlikely...
05:09:08 → benin6 joins (~benin@106.195.34.202)

07:05:23 <arjun> hi
07:05:47 <arjun> anyone knows why font-awesome shows boxes for some icons in xmobar while some other icons work fine?
07:08:37 × benin quits (~benin@106.195.39.120) (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
07:21:00 <Solid> galactic_starfis: introduce an IORef for the colour and just switch it based on that?
07:21:11 <Solid> would certainly work if you had different prompts with all the available colours
07:21:49 <Solid> but that "let's call xrdb and then unsafePerformIO it" is truly scary
07:24:36 → abhixec joins (~abhinav@c-67-169-139-16.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)

11:46:22 <geekosaur> depending on how it's done I wouldn't say scary, just unreliable

13:25:32 × cfricke quits (~cfricke@user/cfricke) (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
13:58:38 <mc47> well, pretty sure one can remove unsafePerformIO and just work in the X monad
14:03:47 <mc47> Not even needed, barSpawner is in IO

15:29:20 <M-elo-[m]> <galactic_starfis> "I'm curious if it could ever..." <- Crap.. I thought that was what would've happened if I switched to xresources.. well it's still worth changing to it for easier color management but damn that would've been nice to have
15:31:12 <geekosaur> I don't see much wrong with using Xrm to configure colors before starting xmonad, and restarting when the RESOURCE_MANAGER prop changes
15:32:20 <M-elo-[m]> Need to read about it before doing anything, haven't had much haskell progress in the past couple of months
16:00:06 × sig[m] quits (~sigrdrifa@2001:470:69fc:105::1:7148) (Quit: You have been kicked for being idle)

16:31:00 → sebas joins (~sebas@207.248.198.65)
16:32:28 <sebas> hi, Is this a good place to ask questions or should I do it on reddit?
16:33:46 <geekosaur> this is a fine place to ask questions
16:34:21 <sebas> thanks
16:37:40 <sebas> I tried changing the resolution with spawn "xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1600x900" inside the startUpHook
16:39:16 <sebas> when I enter xmonad it works fine, but when I quit it and reenter the screen is shown in the bottom-left corner of the monitor
16:40:04 <geekosaur> I think you want to do that before going into the xmonad combinator, otherwise you need the new XRandR hook for it to work? https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Hooks-Rescreen.html
16:41:50 <sebas> I belive I can't use xmonad 0.17 still. I'm a Manjaro user, let me check
16:42:10 <geekosaur> you'll probably need to install via stack, cabal, or use git
16:42:42 <geekosaur> practically every distro goes by stackage, which has been "stuck" for the past several months
16:43:39 <Solid> new major stack resolver don't come out _that_ often anyways
16:44:20 <Solid> so we're not even in "that's unusually long" territory so far
16:44:32 <Solid> but I also don't know how far along aeson 2.0 is
16:45:08 <geekosaur> and we'restill waiting for them to land text 2.0, I think
16:45:33 <sebas> I did it install it from the stack once, but the option to change from kde to xmonad didn't appear in the display manager, so  I unistalled it. May I install it from the stack and ask again here how to make it appear in the login screen?
16:45:59 <Solid> is the new text such a big breaking change? i thought it was mostly internals associated with the UTF8 switch
16:46:10 <Solid> sebas: sure, sounds like an idea
16:46:21 <sebas> :)
16:46:23 <Solid> (the issue was most likely that your display manager couldn't find xmonad in $PATH)
16:46:38 <geekosaur> depends on the display manager, a lot of them want those desktop files
16:46:39 × sebas quits (~sebas@207.248.198.65) (Quit: Client closed)
16:46:51 <geekosaur> the TUTORIAL shows how to create one, as does the wiki
16:46:59 <Solid> shit
16:47:12 <Solid> should've waited with the "yes, go for it" until I'd linked INSTALL.md :)
16:47:20 <Solid> ?tell sebas also this may be useful: https://xmonad.org/INSTALL.html
16:47:21 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
16:47:45 <Solid> in unrelated news
16:47:51 <geekosaur> oh right, INSTALL, not TUToRIAL
16:47:53 Solid got his hacktoberfest t-shirt today
16:48:22 <liskin> Um, why do we think the new Rescreen is necessary?
16:48:32 <liskin> What does quit and reenter mean, anyway?
16:49:12 <Solid> my guess would be quit to the display manager
16:49:17 <Solid> but i didn't follow that part very well
16:49:38 <geekosaur> was starting to doubt that one after I loaded the docs, although I don't know offhand if that xrandr invocation sends a ConfigureEvent or just an RRChangeNotify
16:49:55 <geekosaur> and yes, "quit and restart" is open to interpretation
16:53:39 → mvk joins (~mvk@2607:fea8:5cdc:bf00::99e7)
16:54:56 <galactic_starfis> <Solid> "would certainly work if you..." <- It would work for prompts, bars, gridselects, decorations, etc, but not borders... Unless there's a way to change that on the fly.
16:55:09 <galactic_starfis> I already sort of have it for all of that, just on restart
16:55:19 <galactic_starfis> s/sort of//
17:01:29 <Solid> yeah borders would probably need a fork of the core (just smash an IORef in there :)
17:01:42 <liskin> Solid: wow, mine still hasn't left the US
17:01:51 <Solid> but the real solution is, of course, to set the borderWidth to 0!
17:02:09 <galactic_starfis> `smartBorders` :)

18:24:50 <galactic_starfis> Why's it hanging?

18:37:58 <sebas> hi, I've installed xmonad through stack. How do I make it appear in the display manager?
18:39:29 <geekosaur> https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/blob/master/INSTALL.md#make-xmonad-your-window-manager has a section about display managers that use .desktop files
18:40:01 <sebas> let me read (y)
18:40:25 <geekosaur> see also https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/blob/skkukuk/start-xmonad.desktop although that uses a wrapper script that sets my PATH

18:55:36 <geekosaur> galactic_starfis, what's the definition of gsconfig? I see a couple uses and a type signature but no def
19:03:03 <geekosaur> also I assume it must use `colors` since it (and therefore `rand` are otherwise unused

19:42:43 → steve__ joins (~steve@ool-182c2b80.dyn.optonline.net)
19:53:57 <galactic_starfis> It's this: `gsconfig fgs bgs = (buildDefaultGSConfig $ colors fgs bgs) -- ...` with some other settings

20:53:22 × cfricke quits (~cfricke@user/cfricke) (Quit: WeeChat 3.3)
20:57:53 <galactic_starfis> Any idea why? The colors are appearing, but the entire screen simply freezes and stays that way. The CPU usage ramps up, so I'm guessing it's infinite recursion somewhere.
20:58:13 <galactic_starfis> If I open gridselect at all, I need to kill the process via another TTY.
20:58:43 <galactic_starfis> This entire config, minus the `fgs bgs` arguments everywhere is the exact same
21:00:30 <galactic_starfis> hmm, turns out if I hit escape, then I'm able to restart XMonad from within
21:08:44 <geekosaur> I'mnot spotting anything but I suspect I'd have to annotate everything with `trace` to see what's looping
21:08:56 <geekosaur> and thereisn't quite enough code there for me to try that
21:39:47 → dweiss joins (~dweiss@2a02:810a:980:470::6676)
21:52:13 <galactic_starfis> where would I put the trace ideally?
21:57:40 → yauhsienhuangtw joins (~Yau-Hsien@61-231-21-135.dynamic-ip.hinet.net)
21:58:05 <geekosaur> I would annotate all of those functions with https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/8.10.7/docs/html/libraries/base-4.14.3.0/Debug-Trace.html#v:trace naming the function, then check xmonad's stderr (usually ~/.xsession-errors, but if you used startx to start xmonad then it'll be the original console or wherever you redirected startx's stderr to) to see whoch ones are looping
21:58:21 <geekosaur> you really want to catch this because it'll probably be a *lot* of output before you can stop it
