| 13:33:56 | <zim0369[m]1> | how do i bring the dbus variable into scope? |
| 13:35:50 | <geekosaur> | hm. you separated your config from main, right? that means you have to pass it as a parameter to your config |
| 13:40:19 | <zim0369[m]1> | geekosaur: ``` |
| 13:40:20 | <zim0369[m]1> | main :: IO () |
| 13:40:20 | <zim0369[m]1> | main = xmonad $ myConfig |
| 13:40:20 | <zim0369[m]1> | ``` |
| 13:40:24 | <zim0369[m]1> | this is my main func. |
| 13:40:48 | <zim0369[m]1> | so `main = xmonad $ myConfig $ dbus`? |
| 13:40:52 | <geekosaur> | then where do you get dbus from? |

| 13:59:39 | <geekosaur> | I don't understanmd the question. this modifies xmonad to talk to polybar via dbus; you may need to configure polybar to listen on dbus |
| 14:00:03 | <geekosaur> | and you probably want to configure polybarHook to do what you want instead of the simple display it currently uses |

| 15:14:04 | <zim0369[m]1> | I went through a lot of configurations and seems like they're all using ewmh |
| 15:14:21 | <zim0369[m]1> | but i can't use it because it messes up with fakefullscreen |
| 15:17:15 | <geekosaur> | that shyould only happen if you use the ewmhFullscreen modifier |
| 15:17:22 | <geekosaur> | it's separate for a reason |
| 15:18:09 | <geekosaur> | also it looks like polybar might be using a special logger to get information directly from xmonad instead of using EWMH, but I have no clue what this nix xmonad-log package might be |
| 15:19:10 | <geekosaur> | but looking back at the xmonad config's dbus setup it's almost the same as my setup for xmonad-log-applet in mate-panel |
| 15:19:32 | <geekosaur> | (that doesn't support polybar, though) |
| 15:23:19 | <geekosaur> | so that part of polybar config is hidden somewhere in nix and you'll have to find a config that doesn't use nix to find out how to use it |
| 15:23:46 | <geekosaur> | (*don't* try to switch to nix, it has a very high learning curve) |

| 22:11:07 | <V42> | hello! |
| 22:11:17 | <geekosaur> | hi |
| 22:11:42 | <V42> | The website mentions "Full support for GNOME and KDE utilities". I wonder what that means |
| 22:12:18 | <V42> | Do other window manager not support opening Konsole for example? |
| 22:12:23 | <geekosaur> | I'm not sure it's even true any more given all the stuff they run in the background that essentially brings up all of gnome/kde respectively |
| 22:12:28 | <geekosaur> | especially for gnome |
| 22:12:47 | <geekosaur> | that said, most gnome stuff works for me but I run xmonad as mate's wm |
| 22:14:10 | <geekosaur> | I think Konsole should work |
| 22:14:23 | <geekosaur> | plasma file manager own't because it expects plasma-wm |
| 22:14:31 | <geekosaur> | *won't |
| 22:14:45 | <geekosaur> | similarly gnome's file manager expects gnome-shell |
| 22:15:09 | <geekosaur> | butif gnome-flashback is supported on your system then things can work |

| 22:15:34 | <V42> | I'm more interested in KDE applications |
| 22:16:07 | <geekosaur> | KDE stuff is generally better behaved than Gnome stuff; I'd expect most of it to work unless it's hooked into Plasma |
| 22:16:08 | <V42> | I've already tried the file manager on bspwm. It opened but was unusable |
| 22:18:35 | <geekosaur> | that said, there is a way to configure kde to use xmonad as its file manager. it does require a patch to plasma though |
| 22:19:00 | <geekosaur> | %gitc HEAD^{/KDE} |
| 22:19:00 | <xmonadtrack> | xmonad-contrib Spencer Janssen * v0.8-85-g9d0f3485: Add KDE 4 config, thanks to Shirakawasuna on IRC (14 years ago, 1 file, 13+ 1-) https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/commit/9d0f34852c13 |
| 22:19:07 | <geekosaur> | mm, wrong one |
| 22:19:14 | <geekosaur> | %git HEAD^{/KDE} |
| 22:19:14 | <xmonadtrack> | Could not find commit HEAD^{/KDE} (git returned 128) |
| 22:19:21 | <V42> | I'm actually trying to lower resource usage by switching to xmonad |
| 22:19:43 | <V42> | maybe lowercase? |
| 22:19:52 | <geekosaur> | ohm it's an issue not a commit |
| 22:20:05 | <geekosaur> | because there's nothing we can do on our end, it's a plasma misfeature |
| 22:20:16 | <geekosaur> | https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/691 |
| 22:20:27 | <geekosaur> | includes several versions of the plasma patch |
| 22:20:36 | <geekosaur> | foir different kde releases |
| 22:24:58 | <geekosaur> | anyway switching to xmonad won't lower resource use by much because any kde program will run kdeinit and start a shitton of background services |
| 22:25:40 | <geekosaur> | lxqt might be a better idea if you want something kde-flavored but lower resources |
| 22:26:51 | <V42> | I guess I would need to catch Everything In The Terminal Syndrom |
| 22:27:02 | <V42> | and use alacritty or something |
| 22:27:27 | <V42> | I routinely run out of RAM these days |
| 22:27:39 | <geekosaur> | one reason I run mate is because it provides a nice DE experience while being much lighter than KDE or Gnome |
| 22:28:06 | <geekosaur> | but lxqt is even lighter weight |
| 22:28:15 | <V42> | funny this is language servers are the most intensive thing I run |
| 22:28:19 | <geekosaur> | both can be configured to use xmonad as wm |
