00:00:42 <geekosaur[m]> Hm, that didn't make it to Matrix
00:00:53 × zawaken quits (~zawaken@user/zawaken) (Quit: ZNC 1.9.x-git-unknown - https://znc.in)
00:01:34 <geekosaur[m]> You need to create a license file because cabal (and stack) both assume you are making a full package
00:01:57 geekosaur joins (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur)
00:02:21 <geekosaur> router is pretending to behave for the moment. (now watch it crash again)
00:03:13 <geekosaur> since you seem to be using my cabal file you could also copy the LICENSE file from my repo: https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/blob/skkukuk/LICENSE
00:04:33 <geekosaur> why did your earlier screenshot show something different? (specifically that it wasn't finding the build file)
00:05:19 <geekosaur> hm, did that do the right thing?
00:05:39 <geekosaur> https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/raw/skkukuk/LICENSE
00:09:44 <geekosaur> router still behaving. now was that because I did a save/restore settings followed by a powercycle, or because I shut down my bridged vmware that seemed to be really busy with the network for some reason?
00:10:00 <geekosaur> not planning to test; it's not getting progressively slower now at least
00:11:43 <isaacthekind[m]> i sent a screenshot out of order basically
00:11:45 <isaacthekind[m]> from before i renamed it to build
00:11:51 <geekosaur> ah
00:12:09 <isaacthekind[m]> i'll try copying the license
00:12:33 <geekosaur> so anyway it wants to see a license. you could copy a GPL license file there if you prefer that (I'm a BSD kinda guy)
00:12:40 <isaacthekind[m]> yeah i built a rack recently, for doing some blockchain stuff etc. dealing with routers and ups and switche and everything, is deff a pain sometimes
00:13:01 <isaacthekind[m]> i'll copy your license for now.. reading all about license types is actually something on my list
00:13:09 <isaacthekind[m]> but currently it's greek so i'll just copy yours

01:55:17 <isaacthekind[m]> one other thing, if that's ok.. i'm trying to move my xmobar config from xmobarrc into my xmonad haskell file. can someone clarify how i can call my bar in main? i'll include screenshots
01:55:32 <isaacthekind[m]> this is the bar:

01:56:13 <isaacthekind[m]> and this is how i was previously calling it in main (when it was in a separate non-haskell file):

02:15:00 <geekosaur> (I'm not supposed to be up right now)
02:15:15 <geekosaur> you can'[t put your xmobar config into your xmonad config like that. xmobar is a separate program
02:19:17 <isaacthekind[m]> hmm ok. what i want is to use haskell to configure xmobar.
02:19:33 <isaacthekind[m]> i figured the easiest way would be to just add it to the file and import xmobar
02:21:23 <isaacthekind[m]> is there by any chance a minimal xmobar ha config template that i could be pointed to? i'm kinda struggling convert my mobar config into haskell.

02:24:53 banc joins (banc@gateway/vpn/airvpn/banc)
02:25:19 <isaacthekind[m]> thank you. and is running this as simple as running the xmobarrc, i just point the same command at this new file?
02:26:24 <geekosaur> iirc yes
02:26:33 <geekosaur> but I'm not an xmobar expert
02:26:52 <geekosaur> and sadly there isn't much documentation about configuring xmobar in haskell
02:26:53 <isaacthekind[m]> ok. thank you. gonna try to get this running.
02:27:27 <isaacthekind[m]> that's unfortunate. once i get it hooked up i have a feeling i'll be able to ticker with it.
02:27:38 <isaacthekind[m]> do you not use xmobar yourself?
02:27:53 <isaacthekind[m]> s/ticker/tinker/
02:28:34 <geekosaur> I run xmonad as wm for mate, so I have a couple of mate-panels one of which runs xmonad-log-applet and I log via dbus to it
02:29:04 <geekosaur> https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/blob/skkukuk/xmonad.hs
02:30:30 <isaacthekind[m]> ok that's deff beyond me atm. but it's interesting to know that some don't run mobar, i sorta figured everyone does.

03:23:51 <isaacthekind[m]> my xmobar haskell file seems set up right, but it's telling me it can't find XMobar, i'm having trouble understanding how i'm supposed to structure these dirs. in the xmobar docs it says that an xmobar.hs file will be autodetected if it's in this dir. why is it unable to find XMobar?

04:23:37 <Solid> isaacthekind[m]: how did you install xmobar?
04:24:09 <isaacthekind[m]> pacman on arch
04:24:24 <isaacthekind[m]> (same as the other xmonad stuff that is working)
04:28:01 <Solid> I would guess that only installs xmobar as an executable and not a library
04:28:24 × sogens quits (~sogens@211.30.173.20) (Quit: WeeChat 3.5)
04:28:32 <xmonadtrack> xmonad Tony Zorman * v0.17.0-75-g83a8bb8: TUTORIAL: Fix link to xmobar.hs example (2 minutes ago, 1 file, 1+ 1-) https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/commit/83a8bb8d512a
04:31:08 <isaacthekind[m]> i'm not sure i understand this link
04:31:43 <isaacthekind[m]> as for solid, how exactly do i fix that?
04:31:44 <Solid> that's not for you; just a bot that tracks commits to our main branches
04:31:54 <isaacthekind[m]> oh ok.
04:32:05 <isaacthekind[m]> like basically this is what i want to do
04:32:34 <isaacthekind[m]> i had xmobar working fine when configured via xmobarrc, but i want to configure it via xmobar.hs. i'm just not sure how to link everything up.
04:33:24 <Solid> There are a few ways to get xmobar to work with a Haskell-based config; if you want HLS to work, it's probably going to be a project-based approach again
04:34:16 <Solid> I have this setup (stack-based, I don't know cabal) like this: https://gitlab.com/slotThe/dotfiles/-/tree/master/xmobar/.config/xmobarrc
04:36:53 <isaacthekind[m]> ok i think i can make something like that with cabal
04:37:24 <isaacthekind[m]> and once i have a project like that, how can i connect it to my xmonad.hs
04:40:30 <Solid> The project will generate a normal executable "xmobar" (or whatever name you give it) preloaded with your config
04:40:45 <Solid> However you now start `xmobar /path/to/config` you would then just sau `xmobar`
04:40:52 <Solid> s/sau/say/
04:45:33 <isaacthekind[m]> i don't know what the s/sau stuff means. but ok. that makes sense. i'm gonna mess around with this. thanks for all the help, id be quite stuck without it.
04:45:44 <isaacthekind[m]> :p

04:48:59 <Solid> that was just me correcting my spelling mistake :>
04:49:41 <Solid> yw, I too think Haskell based builds for xmobar should be documented a little bit better
04:49:45 <Solid> I'll put it on my list, I guess...

08:44:12 <isaacthekind[m]> ah ok
08:44:41 <geekosaur> also I don't know what xmobar's dependencies are off the top of my head but they don't include wither xmonad or xmonad-contrib
08:45:15 <isaacthekind[m]> yeah i just copied your cabal and added xmobar. was planning to whittle it down after getting everything working
08:45:24 <isaacthekind[m]> thanks for pointing that out tho
08:45:45 <isaacthekind[m]> this is what i do in xmonad.hs

08:48:14 <isaacthekind[m]> so i guess i'm just not clear why i'm not seeing a bar at this point.
08:49:24 <geekosaur> I don't see what connects "executab;e xmobar-bsa" to "xmobad"
08:49:35 <geekosaur> s/;/l/
08:49:54 <geekosaur> I'd expect to see you running xmobar-bsa

08:52:29 <isaacthekind[m]> i don't really get symlinks
08:52:43 <isaacthekind[m]> idk if i can just point at it like that
08:53:30 <isaacthekind[m]> (i'm planning to take a linux course soon, it obnoxious to not know this kinda stuff)
08:55:10 <geekosaur> depends on where the symlink is pointing. you didn;t show that, just the "xmobad" invocation in your xmonad.hs again
08:57:30 <isaacthekind[m]> i actually don't even think there is a sym link nym. i'm very confused.

09:08:29 chomwitt joins (~chomwitt@2a02:587:dc15:5e00:f956:e7c7:43ea:328a)
09:12:58 <geekosaur> I think what you do is, in xmobar-bsa.cabal you change "executable xmobar-bsa" to "executable xmobad"
09:13:21 <geekosaur> you then do "cabal install" in that directory to build and install xmobad
09:13:39 sogens joins (~sogens@211.30.173.20)
09:14:06 <geekosaur> then you can point to the installed file (either by pathname, or by arranging for ~/.cabal/bin to be on xmonad's PATH) in xmonad

09:30:03 <isaacthekind[m]> ok i'm pretty sure i've done that, but still not bar sadly.
09:31:52 <geekosaur> try a full pathname to xmobad. it's not enough to have your terminal have the right PATH; only Fedora reads that when starting an X session

10:03:17 <geekosaur> wrong part
10:04:12 <geekosaur> you shouldn't need that parameter at all if you've built a custom xmobar. instead: "~/.cabal/bin/xmobad -x 0"

17:30:13 <Alok[m]> Is this how I can write pulseaudio command for xmobar?
18:04:27 <jao> Alok[m], i use "default" instead of "pulse" and it works well for me. in your template you then need %default:Master% (or, if "pulse" is working, %pulse:Master%)
18:05:13 <Alok[m]> jao: can you share the Run command?
18:05:58 <jao> Alok[m], exactaly the same as yours above, but instead of "pulse" write "default"
18:06:03 <Alok[m]> and anyway to get the internet essid, if connected with ethernet then just show "Connected" else essid of wifi?
18:06:16 <Alok[m]> jao: oh okay
18:08:16 <jao> Alok[m], for ethernet, use DynNetwork or Network; please look it up in the docs: https://codeberg.org/xmobar/xmobar/src/branch/master/doc/plugins.org#headline-47

18:11:37 <Guest87> hey, guys, is there a way to have system theme in xmonad?
18:12:31 <Guest87> Like how gnome has a system theme that all the applications dynamically follow.. is there a way to do something similar in xmonad?
18:12:44 <Alok[m]> jao: Hmm, so I'll need separate for both ethernet and wifi right? There's nothing like Network which handles both
18:16:59 <jao> Alok[m], yes that's right
18:17:20 <Alok[m]> jao: Oki, Thanks

18:49:51 <Guave3811Xmonady> Howdies friends and friendies. Is it possible to let new windows in my tabbed two pane layout spawn on the right instead of the left ?
18:51:54 <Lears> Guave3811Xmonady: You probably want to use X.H.InsertPosition.
18:57:57 <Guave3811Xmonady> can you tellme how to do it - i am quite new to xmonad :p

18:59:12 <Guave3811Xmonady> https://hastebin.com/decobinepo.lua this is my xmonad.hs
19:07:50 <Guave3811Xmonady> ok i understand
19:08:13 <Guave3811Xmonady> howver i don't understand the system behind Newer Older and Above, Below, Master, End
19:22:55 <isaacthekind[m]> could someone clarify why i have to call xmobar and throw the result away?

19:23:45 <isaacthekind[m]> is it like unsafe so we don't want our program to depend on the result or something?
19:26:42 <Lears> Guave3811Xmonady: In your layout, Above should correspond to left and Below to right. Newer is the default behaviour, so you probably want Below and Newer, but you can try out all the combinations to see how they work in practice.
19:28:10 <Guave3811Xmonady> alright Thank you Lears
19:28:13 <Guave3811Xmonady> one more question
19:29:06 <quarkQuark[m]111> spawnPipe returns a handle that can be used to send data to xmobar to display. Using an underscore instead of a variable name means you're throwing it away instead of using it.
19:29:25 <Guave3811Xmonady> i have 2 windows open - the right window has focus, I open a new window on the left, which has focus, i close the window and i would like to have focus again in the one i had before i opened the window - instead if have focus of the window on the left -  can i change this behavior ?
19:30:23 <Lears> Try X.H.RefocusLast
19:37:42 <isaacthekind[m]> hmmm well i know what the underscore means. im more so wondering why we're throwing the value away here.

20:13:06 <quarkQuark[m]111> GHC sometimes throws a warning if you declare an unused variable. I use the handle later in my logHook, though I haven't yet looked at understanding how the logHook actually works.
20:17:15 <isaacthekind[m]> fair enough
20:17:54 <isaacthekind[m]> another question. i'm adding window spacing, but xmonad seems unresponsive to the changes. i can make spacing 5 or 5000 and i still see the same amount of space. any idea why that would be happening?
20:20:04 <Lears> Try mod+shift+space (iirc).
20:20:39 <Lears> Layout state is dynamic, so xmonad preserves it across reloads when it can (when the type doesn't change).
20:20:59 <isaacthekind[m]> ohh ok thank you

20:36:03 <isaacthekind[m]> i'm noticing that spacing between windows stacks together
20:36:26 <isaacthekind[m]> so i get more space between windows and other windows than between windows and screen edge.
20:36:38 <isaacthekind[m]> is there a way to resolve that
