16:49:44 <andrewjf> I rescently started with Xmonad and I wanted to try adding swallowing. I added a few lines to my config.hs file. But I'm a confused about how to recompile xmonad so I can see my changes. I tried xmonad --recompile but I get an error xmonad: /home/andrewjf/.xmonad/xmonad.errors: withFile: permission denied (Permission denied). If I try running doas
16:49:44 <andrewjf> xmonad --recompile I get a different error Authorization required, but no authorization protocal specified. It also seems like when I doas xmonad --recompile like it is trying to compile the .xmonad file that is associated with the root user rather than the one that is associated with my current user. I'm running freeBSD if that information is at
16:49:45 <andrewjf> all useful.  Any help would be much appreacated and if more info is needed i would be happy to provide it
16:51:13 <geekosaur> check ownership of your ~/.xmonad and all files in it, that error sounds like it's owned by root?
16:51:23 <geekosaur> (as opposed to using root's .xmonad)
16:54:03 <andrewjf> drwxr-xr-x  3  root   wheel    512   Apr 22 12:16    .xmonad (output of ls -la)
16:54:28 <andrewjf> does root wheel mean that it is owned by root?
16:59:08 <geekosaur> yes
16:59:23 <geekosaur> owner root, group wheel
16:59:43 <geekosaur> (group wheel on BSDs is essentially the "root" group)
17:02:23 <andrewjf> Oh awesome how could you remind me what the command is for changing the owner of a file
17:04:37 <geekosaur> sudo chown $USER file …
17:06:38 <andrewjf> It nows says andrewjf wheel instead of andrewjf root
17:07:24 <geekosaur> right, that's probably fine. you could change the group as well but there's no convenient envar for your primary group
17:08:05 <andrewjf> it looks like everything inside of .xmonad is also root wheel
17:08:28 <geekosaur> you should chown it all or you'll keep getting errors
17:10:57 <andrewjf> Okay I was able to set everything inside to be andrewjf wheel lnstead and it seems to be working. And i just ran xmonad --recompile and its seems to working. Thkank you so much for your help man

23:50:08 <andrewjf> I'm trying to change my terminal emulator from xterm to alacritty. When I do Mod+q nothing seems to change and doing Mod+Shift+Enter doesn't open a terminal anymore as I uninstalled xterm. When I run xmonad --recompile it says that compilation succeeded and when I run xmonad --restart the command finishes without anything output, but once again
23:50:09 <andrewjf> nothing seems to change. The line that I added to my I .xmonad/xmonad.hs to try to set the terminal emulator to alacritty is  myTerminal      =      alacritty. I'm totally stuck so any help would be much apprecated.
23:50:39 <andrewjf> *myTerminal = "alacritty"
23:50:43 <geekosaur> are you actually using myTerminal anywhere?
23:51:48 <geekosaur> https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/blob/hilfy-2023/xmonad.hs#L150 is the kind of thing that actually specifies the terminal; simply defining a `myTerminal` variable won't do anything unless it makes its way into the config record
23:52:18 <geekosaur> (note that mine is a bit more complicated than a simple terminal setting)
23:53:42 <andrewjf> the only other reference to myTerminal is it says defaults = def { terminal = myTerminal ...
23:54:08 <geekosaur> that should work, then.
23:54:19 <geekosaur> can you pastebin your whole xmonad.hs?
23:54:21 <geekosaur> @where paste
23:54:21 <lambdabot> Help us help you: please paste full code, input and/or output at e.g. https://paste.tomsmeding.com
23:56:25 <andrewjf> Yeah I can copy and past it unforunately I am still getting used to this stuff so my settup is somewhat broken so it might take my sometime to get it to you
23:57:11 <geekosaur> one thing you can do is install xclip, run `xclip -in < ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs`, then paste it into your browser open on a pastebin
23:57:57 <andrewjf> Okay ill do that
