08:08:01 <HB[m]> https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/174#issuecomment-1352692309
08:08:31 <HB[m]> * https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/174#issuecomment-1352692309 Latest Patch for Xmonad Compatibility for KDE Plasma 5.98 (as well as in Kubuntu 22.10)
08:16:10 <HB[m]> s/1352692309/1352701747 Latest Patch for Xmonad Compatibility for KDE Plasma 5.98 (as well as in Kubuntu 22.10)/
08:17:21 <HB[m]> I have just tested the patch in a virtual machine, it builds, Xmonad and KDE panels/menus work in 22.10 Kubuntu and plasma-framework 5.98.
08:17:21 <HB[m]> Enjoy.
08:20:01 <HB[m]> I'm not sure if I created the patch properly... Uhmm. I'm tired. 1AM
08:24:05 <thyriaen> can i just use my "normal" xmonad config for my standalone xmonad as a config for kde-xmonad or will something break and I should start fresh ?
08:27:42 HB[m] posted a file: (16KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/mozilla.org/ea337488c5e010346a438d81f77eee9fe4b944c4/xmonad.hs >
08:28:42 <HB[m]> Here's my Xmonad config. I do not know if `kde-xmonad` is some special software as I have not heard of it.
08:28:42 <HB[m]> But you would load the KDE helper module, and in your env, `export KDEWM=xmonad`
08:33:43 mncheck joins (~mncheck@193.224.205.254)
08:36:37 <HB[m]> This config is for 0.17 Xmonad so it's only going to work there and will fail in other versions I think.

14:34:03 <geekosaur> thyriaen, you need a patch for plasma (a KDE component) for it to work properly with xmonad
14:34:27 <geekosaur> otherwise, see XMonad.Config.KDE.kde4Config for some integrations with KDE
15:20:30 Guest27 joins (~Guest27@dslb-002-200-095-097.002.200.pools.vodafone-ip.de)
15:21:35 <Guest27> Is this the right place to ask questions/get help? I couldnt find an official forum
15:21:54 <geekosaur> yes
15:23:28 <Guest27> M-q is not showing the standard xorg-message error messages, while running `xmonad --recompile` in a console does. Any ideas where to look for clues why it does that?
15:24:58 <Jade[m]> it has never worked for me
15:25:01 <Jade[m]> haha
15:25:31 <geekosaur> sounds like a PATH problem, except I'd expect xmessage to be in /usr/bin
15:26:06 <geekosaur> (the PATH you have in a terminal is not the same as the PATH display managers give to window managers / session managers)
15:31:52 <Guest27> I will look into that, I had the problem before and had to include a PATH export to the cabal directory in my .zprofile. Guess I didnt learn anything :D
15:33:13 <geekosaur> I hook X session startup to set my PATH and a few other things there (/etc/X11/Xsession.d/10profile)

17:47:43 <thyriaen> geekosaur, how do i patch kde ?
17:48:55 <thyriaen> i mean which komponent and how to do it ? ( but otherwise i can use my normal xmonad config or should i start fresh ? )
17:55:21 <geekosaur> you probably want to talk to HB[m]; all I know about it is https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/174
17:55:51 <geekosaur> I haven't used KDE with xmonad in some 10 years (KDE3 was the latest version back then 🙂
18:02:57 <thyriaen> oki thanks

18:32:57 <HB[m]> let me know which versino of kubuntu you're using and I can even build the packages for you for amd64
18:33:09 <HB[m]> But first try the instructions in the link from geekosaur
18:38:24 <thyriaen> HB[m], you mean https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/174 ?
18:38:37 <HB[m]> 👍️
18:39:08 <HB[m]> https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/174#issuecomment-1118020397 Directions are in this post.
18:39:13 <HB[m]> It's not trivial to do this if you're new/noob.
18:39:40 <HB[m]> Which version of Kubuntu will you use? 22.04? Or 22.10?
18:39:50 <HB[m]> https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/174#issuecomment-1118020397 Use this for 22.04
18:39:53 <thyriaen> provided by fedora 37
18:39:57 <HB[m]> * https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/174#issuecomment-1118020397 Use this for 22.04
18:39:57 <HB[m]> LTS
18:40:59 <HB[m]> I can't build packages
18:41:00 <HB[m]> \ for Fedora 37 as I don't use it. Follow their dolcs on how to modify package source and rebuild, and use my patch for the proper version of plasma.
18:41:04 <thyriaen> is there no repository with binary packages provided for xmonad ? or is kde simply not supported ?
18:41:18 <HB[m]> KDE is supported by Xmonad
18:41:25 <HB[m]> Xmonad is not supported by KDE
18:41:28 <thyriaen> :p
18:41:31 <thyriaen> i understand
18:41:33 <HB[m]> KDE devs don't care about us ☹️
18:41:51 <thyriaen> which is good for me
18:42:03 <thyriaen> as i will not attempt to switch from xmonad to kde+xmonad :p
18:42:08 <HB[m]> s/\//
18:42:11 <HB[m]> s/\//, s/dolcs/docs/
18:42:48 <HB[m]> I only use KDE panel with Xmonad, and some KDE apps as I dislike GTK and try to avoid it.
18:42:49 <thyriaen> i think it will be too much of a headache to change source and rebuild
18:43:11 <thyriaen> and stuff will break / when i upgrade and so on
18:44:55 <HB[m]> 1) Get RPM plasma-framework package source in Fedora
18:44:55 <HB[m]> 2) Edit source (apply my patch)
18:44:55 <HB[m]> 3) Build package
18:44:55 <HB[m]> https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM if interested also ask in #fedora on Matrox/IRC

19:21:08 <thyriaen> HB[m], is noone maintaining a prepacked prebuild for the likes of me who are too lazy to do it ?

21:35:40 <qroolen> someone can point what i am doing wrong by trying to spawn an application at N workspace? https://bit.ly/3FyLOaV
21:35:57 <qroolen> it always starts on the focused workspace :|
21:36:35 <qroolen> line 16 and 19 my logic is
21:42:50 <geekosaur> does the splash window show up on the correct workspace? I suspect it's the one that manageSpawn is handling
21:43:26 <geekosaur> alos, the way you wrote that, the setDefaultCursor is being overwritten; you should use <> instead of a second record update
21:43:38 <geekosaur> (but that's mostly unrelated)
21:44:42 <geekosaur> try running `"gimp --no-splash"`, in short
21:47:09 <qroolen> <3
21:47:19 <qroolen> --no-splash made it work, thanks
21:47:48 <qroolen> and what do you mean using <> on setDefaultCursor?
21:47:53 <geekosaur> xmonad isn't magic;p the splash screen gets moved, then manageSpawn forgets about it and won't move the real window
21:48:08 <geekosaur> look at line 15 vs. line 19
21:48:58 <geekosaur> first you set `startupHook` to `setDefaultCursor xC_cross`, then you overwrite it with `spawnOn "7" "gimp"`
21:50:00 <geekosaur> if you want it to do both, remove lines 18-20 and change line 15 to: ` , startupHook = setDefaultCursor xC_cross <> spawnOn "7" "gimp --no-splash"`
21:52:33 <qroolen> super! thanks for that

22:05:17 <qroolen> there is something that i can use to start an app when i focus on a workspace?

22:21:58 sogens joins (sogens@gateway/vpn/protonvpn/sogens)
22:24:32 <qroolen> :)
23:34:58 <HB[m]> I'll try to install a fedora 37 VM and see if I can build the package for you.
23:47:14 <qroolen> me?
23:48:09 <qroolen> idk how long i last on IRC without being disconnected, but if it is for me, just do not bother ;]
23:48:17 <geekosaur> thyriaen, who seems to have left
23:48:41 <qroolen> ah ok :D
