13:15:57 <mc47> hey guys! I (finally) can focus again on xmonad, if there is anything where you need assistance or support, just reach out
13:16:07 <mc47> (maybe also just to my email, I don't check IRC often)
13:26:07 <geekosaur> I think the biggest fire at the moment is that practically everything that's based on `LayoutModifier` is broken wrt `Hide` and `ReleaseResources`, but I'm already poking at that
13:27:05 <geekosaur> https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/136
13:36:06 <liskin> I was meaning to look into it because that seems extremely unlikely
13:37:45 <geekosaur> the default implementation of `handleMess` doesn't pass on `Hide` or `ReleaseResources`, it calls `doUnhook` and eats the messages. https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/XMonad/Layout/LayoutModifier.hs#L146
13:38:01 <liskin> https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/XMonad/Layout/LayoutModifier.hs#L263 - the lower layout always gets to handle the message, unless it was modified and turned into something else, which few modifiers do
13:38:39 <liskin> mc47: what changed in your life that you can get back to xmonad, btw?
13:41:00 <liskin> (in my case it's the other way around - I don't think I'll be able to do much xmonad stuff until I stop having a full time job, but once that happens, I probably won't afford to stay in London, because xmonad absolutely doesn't have enough donations to make that viable, even if I worked full time on it)
13:42:53 <mc47> liskin: I was honestly overwhelmed with life a bit for the past year. It was the first year working full-time, so I kinda needed to find my rhythm. Now I feel more comfortable looking at a screen and coding after work :)
13:43:34 <mc47> I'll try to take a look geekosaur
13:45:42 <liskin> mc47: oh, that's awesome then :-)
13:46:15 <liskin> I've never managed that with a full-time job.
13:47:49 <mc47> Honestly, it helps that the weather is kinda shit now so I'm not tempted to go outside :D and pre-cooking for the week helps with the free time

16:57:58 Guest31 joins (~Guest31@c-98-38-94-42.hsd1.co.comcast.net)
16:58:30 <Guest31> does anyone know how I can get tap-to-click working on my touchpad? I'm running xmonad on fedora under GDM and tap-to-click works in gnome but not xmonad
17:01:40 <geekosaur> it's an xinput setting, I couldn't tell you which one because touchpads aren't very consistent
17:02:27 <L29Ah> Guest31: it's irrelevant to xmonad; also you can use synclient(1) perhaps
17:02:53 <Guest31> if it's irrelevant to xmonad why does it work without doing anything under gnome?
17:05:09 <L29Ah> ask gnome
17:05:43 <L29Ah> xmonad is a window manager, it doesn't configure input devices, unlike gnome that tries to do everything apparently
17:07:30 <geekosaur> as does mate. that's why they're desktop managers, not just window managers
17:07:39 <L29Ah> https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.18.1/docs/XMonad-Config-Gnome.html apparently one can use xmonad with gnome
17:08:37 <geekosaur> you used to be able to with gnome 2, or if you have gnome-flashback whoich is gnome 2 with a gnome 3-ish theme
17:08:46 <geekosaur> gnome 3 itself cannot
17:10:39 <geekosaur> https://www.baeldung.com/linux/enable-disable-touchpad-scrolling-tapping-command-line
17:10:58 <Guest31> I'm not sure what that gnomeConfig does...I didn't need to use it at all, I just installed xmonad with dnf and it showed up as an option in GDM
17:11:15 <geekosaur> I'm not seeing the relevant options on my local touchpad but it's not yours and may not support tap to click
17:11:41 <Guest31> looks like it maybe just sets terminal, which I don't want anyway. I just want the gnome mouse settings to get applied, I wonder if there's some gnome command I can run to do that
17:11:47 <geekosaur> it switches the default terminal and hooks mod-shift-q to the gnome logout dialog, pretty much
17:13:31 <geekosaur> you can run the gnome settings manager but expect it to kill xmonad and start gnome 3
17:13:37 <geekosaur> it's all tied together

17:35:03 <mc47> For what it's worth: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Touchpad_Synaptics. They probably just need a driver installed and a configuration file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
