| 00:02:35 | <henninb> | geekosaur - When I tried the super-space key without the `sendMessage NextLayout`, it does not work |
| 00:04:38 | <henninb> | not sure if it matter, but I am using XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators for my layouts. |
| 00:08:16 | <geekosaur> | I saw that. If you're on 0.17 it doesn't matter which one you use; it's conceivable that it's broken on earlier versions but I would have expected someone to notice |
| 00:14:43 | <henninb> | geekosaur, agree. It could definately be something in my config. It would have been reported by now if this was an issue from the release of 17. |
| 00:16:28 | <henninb> | geekosaur, I took your advice on safeSpawn. Thanks again for the suggestion. |
| 00:16:55 | <geekosaur> | well, what I don't know is whether Choose was broken in ManageHelpers' version of (|||). |
| 00:18:03 | <geekosaur> | safeSpawn wasn't my suggestion, it was vrs's |

| 00:19:24 | <henninb> | it was vrs, I am glad vrs mentioned it. |
| 00:20:44 | <henninb> | geekosaur, is there a way I could help validate whether Choose was broken in ManageHelpers' version of (|||) ? |
| 00:21:21 | → | defjam joins (~eb0t@33ba3cdf.skybroadband.com) |
| 00:22:36 | <geekosaur> | replace `import XMonad hiding ((|||))` with `import XMonad`, comment out the import of ManageHelpers, and see if NextLayout works |
| 00:22:59 | <geekosaur> | (JumpToLayout won't work after that, so make sure you're not using your cycle-layouts code) |
| 00:23:23 | <henninb> | geekosaur, I will try and let you know what I find. |
| 00:28:34 | <henninb> | geekosaur, with the code changes above the code `sendMessage NextLayout` works. |
| 00:30:27 | <henninb> | and as you stated the JumpToLayout does not work. |
| 00:37:50 | <geekosaur> | all I can suggest is that you upgrade to 0.17 then, as we aren't making changes to 0.15/0.16 |

| 15:22:56 | <Lycurgus> | no config file |
| 15:24:28 | <geekosaur> | that certainly sounds wrong. is xterm installed? mod-shift-enter won't do much without it (except on debian where they patch it to use x-terminal-emulator by default and the alternatives system handles that) |
| 15:24:52 | <Lycurgus> | yes it's installed |
| 15:25:04 | <Lycurgus> | i've seen this before but not in a long time |
| 15:25:15 | <Lycurgus> | rebooting doesn't clear it |
| 15:25:44 | <Lycurgus> | iirc reinstalling does |
| 15:26:48 | <geekosaur> | that's odd, xmonad doesn't have any saved state aside from what it passes to the new instance on mod-q |
| 15:27:27 | <Lycurgus> | well it certainly is unresponsive, mouse is gone too |

| 15:31:56 | <geekosaur> | hm, that implies it found a config file somewhere |
| 15:32:16 | <geekosaur> | since that path is from a compiled config, with pre-XDG paths |
| 15:32:58 | <geekosaur> | so there should be a ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs that it compiled |

| 15:34:18 | <geekosaur> | if you wiped a config file you probably also want to wipe ~/.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux or it'll keep using it |
| 15:38:05 | <Lycurgus> | there was nothing in .config (for xmonad) |

| 15:46:14 | <Lycurgus> | except i deleted that per your suggestion |

| 18:07:33 | <Lycurgus> | i tried i3 which was installed and it too had a problem |
| 18:08:40 | <Lycurgus> | since I only use xmonad as a base wm i just went with what is working which is unity/ubuntu for same |
| 18:09:03 | <Lycurgus> | when i say base, I mean the default thing when you log into X |
| 18:09:28 | <Lycurgus> | i actually run my main wm under vnc and connect to it |
| 18:09:54 | <Lycurgus> | from mac and until locally thru xmonad |
| 18:10:03 | <Lycurgus> | *until now |
| 18:13:14 | <Lycurgus> | ghcup was just a stab in the dark, prolly not that |
| 18:14:37 | <Lycurgus> | i've seen this before, it's rare and the i3 also having indicates it's maybe not in xmonad |
| 18:15:27 | <Lycurgus> | i went with xmonad way back when because it was the most stable/solid in performance |
| 18:16:16 | <Lycurgus> | not really using it and don't especially like tiling mgrs |
| 18:17:57 | <Lycurgus> | the problem state will remain on this machine for a while if you want be to test something but moving on since all essential end function restored |

| 19:32:25 | <twiclo> | Bit of an interesting one for you guys. I'm unable to run a modified version of oldschool runescape in fullscreen. Under cinnamon I can fullscreen this just fine but when I give the window a whole screen in xmonad it doesn't grow to fill it. It seems like it doesn't know it doesn't have the space |
| 19:33:29 | <geekosaur> | what version of xmonad? |
| 19:34:58 | <geekosaur> | before 0.17 we don't advertise emwh fullscreen support properly, which breaks some programs. in 0.17 this should be fixed provided you're using the ewmhFullscreen combinator |
| 19:35:20 | <twiclo> | 0.17.0 |
| 19:35:38 | <twiclo> | I might not have ewmh in my config |
| 19:36:02 | <twiclo> | Doesn't adding that change behavior of other windows? I love having applications think they're fullscreened when they're really not |
| 19:36:10 | <geekosaur> | it's also conceivable that you need something like XMonad.Util.Hacks.windowedFullscreenFixeventFix |
| 19:36:29 | <geekosaur> | it's also conceivable that you need something like XMonad.Util.Hacks.windowedFullscreenFixEventHook |
| 19:36:36 | <twiclo> | I do have the fix library set up |
| 19:36:39 | <geekosaur> | which iscusses that exact use case, in fact |
| 19:37:18 | <twiclo> | So what changes in fullscreen behavior can I expect if I set up ewmh? |
| 19:40:34 | <geekosaur> | more programs will recognize fullscreen support, and more programs should do windowed fullscreen (without ewmh many programs can only recognize fullscreen by a floating fullscreen window) |
| 19:40:48 | <twiclo> | Oh it looks like I do have it set up already |
| 19:40:56 | <twiclo> | p.twil.cx/xab |
| 19:41:24 | <geekosaur> | I admit I was wondering, since ewmhFullscreen can't work without ewmh |
| 19:42:27 | <twiclo> | Do I need both ewmh and ewmhFullscreen in my main definition or can I just have the fullscreen one? |
| 19:43:09 | <geekosaur> | if you have only ewmhFullscreen but not ewmh, ewmhFullscreen won't do anything |
| 19:43:27 | <twiclo> | Okay yeah I remember why I have it disabled. If I fullscreen a youtube video it will take over the whole monitor instead of just its container |
| 19:43:43 | <geekosaur> | ewmhFullscreen can be made to do windowed fullscreen, but I don't know the details, they're discussed in the windowedFullscreenFixEventHook docs |
| 19:45:46 | <twiclo> | It looks like it doesn't fix the runescape issue |
| 19:46:10 | <twiclo> | Sometimes if I launch cinnamon in another tty, start the program, kill it, then launch it in xmonad it will behave properly |
| 19:46:13 | <twiclo> | Not sure if that's helpful |
| 19:48:09 | <geekosaur> | not very, aside from the fact thatr it remembers fullscreen once it has recognized it |
| 19:48:24 | <geekosaur> | which again makes me think ewmhFullscreen + ewmh is needed |
| 20:17:50 | <Solid> | sigh, zurihac only seems to have discord as a communication medium |
