12:52:07 <geekosaur> hi\
12:52:36 <Ares> Heya, would anyone have an idea as to why my xmobar refuses to appear?
12:52:44 × Ares quits (~Ares@2601:5cc:c800:e450::8d87) (Client Quit)
12:53:05 <geekosaur> usually means ...drat
12:53:10 Ares joins (~Ares@2601:5cc:c800:e450::8d87)
12:53:27 <geekosaur> usually means something is wrong with the config. try running it in a terminal
12:53:59 <Ares> okie one sec
12:54:06 <geekosaur> (sometimes itmeans you need to use a full path to it; if you use a display manager instead of startx, xmonad won't have the PATH your terminals do by default
12:54:10 <geekosaur> )
12:54:41 <Ares> I see, yeah I use lightdm
12:57:11 <Ares> I start xmobar with xmonad, im pretty sure
12:57:20 <geekosaur> most people do
12:57:25 <Ares> just using a slightly modified config from the one in the tutorial
12:58:11 <geekosaur> but xmonad's $PATH will probably be /bin:/usr/bin, whereas if you installed xmobar manually instead of via package manager it'll be in ~/.local/bin or ~/.cabal/bin depending on whether you used stack or cabalto install it
12:59:02 <Ares> I compiled xmonad myself yeah and installed xmobar via pacman
12:59:15 <geekosaur> thne it should be found, hm
12:59:29 <geekosaur> so the next question is whether running in a terminal works
12:59:46 <geekosaur> my guess is you get an error because one of the plugins is missing
13:00:03 <Ares> fish: Job 1, 'xmobar' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)
13:00:06 <geekosaur> (which will show as a parse error because xnm0obar's config file errors are heinous)
13:00:13 <geekosaur> o.O
13:00:57 <Ares> Yeah, it confuses me
13:03:02 <Ares> Any advice would be appreciated, xmonad made me interested in haskell and just seems awesome :)
13:03:54 <geekosaur> my understanding is there was such a bug several months ago, but it's been fixed and `pacman` suggests you're on a rolling-release distro that should have gotten the fix already
13:04:11 <Ares> Mhm i'm on vanilla arch
13:04:55 <Ares> Ah, the release is flagged out of date
13:05:05 <Ares> since 2021-11-19
13:05:11 <Ares> 09*
13:07:11 <geekosaur> mm. I personally would install the latest xmobar via cabal, but that's just me (I don't trust arch's packaging of haskell stuff, and I don't use stack)
13:10:02 <geekosaur> dunno if anyone else is around who can help, either, and when it comes down to it I don't know xmobar all that well
13:10:28 <geekosaur> (I run xmonad under MATE so I use mate-panel via dbus)
13:11:29 <Ares> im compiling it via stack atm
13:11:33 <Ares> ill update ya
13:17:01 <Ares> had to add netlink 1.1.1.0 to the extra-deps field in stack.yaml but it's complin now
13:18:54 <geekosaur> did you include --flags all_extensions?
13:19:15 <geekosaur> it'll be missing advanced font support and most of its plugins without that

15:34:44 <NGC> Okay i need some help. Im trying to write my own xmonad config file and ive ran into an issue. im trying to do M-S-q, spawn io exitSuccess so when i push that it will quit xmonad. any ideas?
15:37:29 <geekosaur> you don't `spawn` that
15:37:52 <geekosaur> ("M-S-q", io exitSuccess)
15:37:59 <NGC> oh im so dumb
15:38:06 <geekosaur> you need System.Exit imported for exitSuccess
15:38:24 <NGC> yeah i got that imported. I just wrote the command wrong
15:38:35 <NGC> me a dumb dumb
15:39:08 <geekosaur> also I would hope that keybinding is inherited since it's the default

15:39:55 <NGC> yeah i just wanna make sure to have it in my config.
15:40:09 <NGC> thank you geekosaur for educating a noob
15:40:11 <Ares\> Elloo
15:40:12 <geekosaur> there's an example xmonad.hs that is found practically everywhere that inherits the defaults and then overwrites them with old defaults. this is generally a bad idea and has been known to cause problems in the past
15:40:26 <geekosaur> ohai?
15:40:42 <Ares\> Was asleep, lol
15:41:00 <Ares\> with the latest release of xmobar im still having the same issue sadly
15:41:30 <geekosaur> ugh

17:18:21 <NGC> okay im trying to get xmobar to work with my xmonad install. I have xmonad xmonad-contrib and xmobar from the arch repos installed. However when i try to run xmobar i get an error saying unexpected s expecting space or run. The only thing i can think of is that somehow or somewhere in my config i missed something
17:19:06 <NGC> nvm i figured it out

17:45:17 NGC joins (~tux@2600:8804:8742:7d00::9753)
17:46:32 <NGC> Now im haivng a very frustrating issue. I have xmobar installed from arch repos. I have a very simple config setup for it located in .config. However, when i go to start xmobar via terminal i get an error related to hPutStrLn xmproc saying too few arguments
17:47:14 <NGC> all i am wanting is for xmobar to display the workspaces and the date/time
17:49:24 <geekosaur> it would be odd to get that error from xmobar
17:49:35 <geekosaur> can you pastebin your config?

17:54:45 <NGC> OMG that was it
17:55:43 <NGC> im assuming as soon as i kill this session and come back in the updating thing where my workspaces are supposed to be will go away?
