| 2025-02-06 16:07:47 | <ectospasm> | I am having a problem with XMonad. It exits without an error code (I see nothing about it in xmonad.errors) when I try to bring up a prompt to change or send the current window to another workspace. |
| 2025-02-06 16:08:00 | <ectospasm> | i hadn't made any changes to xmonad |
| 2025-02-06 16:08:19 | <ectospasm> | xmonad.hs in a while |
| 2025-02-06 16:08:35 | <ectospasm> | I think it has something to do with fonts |
| 2025-02-06 16:10:04 | <ectospasm> | There are two places in xmonad.hs where I refer to Xft fonts, and I changed 'xft' to 'pango' and the crashing/exiting stopped (but my prompt hotkeys don't work, either). |
| 2025-02-06 16:10:29 | <ectospasm> | This started after an upgrade of my Arch Linux laptop |
| 2025-02-06 16:11:02 | <ectospasm> | The only thing I saw that got upgraded was fontconfig, but I don't know how to fix this. |
| 2025-02-06 16:12:27 | <ectospasm> | https://git.eldon.me/trey/XMonad/src/branch/master/xmonad.hs |
| 2025-02-06 16:15:29 | <ectospasm> | xmonad 0.18.0-27 xmonad-contrib 0.18.1-12 xmonad-utils 0.1.3.3-258 |
| 2025-02-06 16:16:49 | <ectospasm> | It looks like my XMonad packages were upgraded as well. |
| 2025-02-06 17:12:43 | <L29Ah> | does it work if you build xmonad and its dependencies with cabal or stack or nix? |

| 2025-02-06 18:40:38 | <geekosaur> | there's something you need to do after upgrading Arch packages to keep your xmonad config running, I have to check the wiki |
| 2025-02-06 18:41:25 | <geekosaur> | see the boxed warning here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xmonad#Installation |

| 2025-02-06 22:13:22 | <ectospasm> | geekosaur: I actually recompile xmonad before I launch it every time. I have an alias stx='xmonad --recompile && startx &> ~/.Xsession-errors' when I start X.org, so I recompile every time. |
| 2025-02-06 22:14:11 | <ectospasm> | L29Ah: Sorry, that's too much work to do, so I'm not going to try that. |
| 2025-02-06 22:16:24 | → | haskellbridge joins (~hackager@syn-024-093-192-219.res.spectrum.com) |
| 2025-02-06 22:19:57 | <geekosaur> | then I would wonder if Arch (yet again) failed to recompile dependent libraries. `ldd ~/.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux` (if you use XDG, `ldd ~/.cache/xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux`) |
| 2025-02-06 22:23:13 | <ectospasm> | https://paste.rs/a5QkP |
| 2025-02-06 22:24:50 | <geekosaur> | huh, that looks fine (although I have to wonder how TH got in there) |
| 2025-02-06 22:25:27 | <ectospasm> | TH? |
| 2025-02-06 22:25:33 | <geekosaur> | `xmonad.errors` won't contain runtime errors, it's for compile-time (`xmonad --rebuild`) errors |
| 2025-02-06 22:25:38 | <geekosaur> | Template Haskell |
| 2025-02-06 22:25:48 | <ectospasm> | Ah. |
| 2025-02-06 22:26:06 | <ectospasm> | Yeah, My .Xsession.errors seems to show a few lines of this: <class 'Xlib.error.BadAccess'>: code = 10, resource_id = 1323, sequence_number = 37, major_opcode = 33, minor_opcode = 0 |
| 2025-02-06 22:26:19 | <ectospasm> | But I'm not sure if that's coming from XMonad or autokey |
| 2025-02-06 22:26:29 | <ectospasm> | Let me post my .Xsession.errors, hold on. |
| 2025-02-06 22:27:24 | <ectospasm> | https://paste.rs/apr8p |
| 2025-02-06 22:27:37 | <geekosaur> | that's XUngrabServer, won't be xmonad |
| 2025-02-06 22:28:02 | <geekosaur> | oh wait, wrong number 🙂 |
| 2025-02-06 22:28:07 | <ectospasm> | That's right after I trigger the exit. I'm having a hard time calling it a crash, but X completely dies. |
| 2025-02-06 22:28:17 | <geekosaur> | 33 is XGrabKey |
| 2025-02-06 22:28:57 | <geekosaur> | sounds like autokey, you'd get any xmonad errors about key grabs right up front. oh, and xmonad's X errors look different from that |
| 2025-02-06 22:30:49 | <geekosaur> | xmonad is throwing BadAtom at startup with XChangeProperty, but is continuing |
| 2025-02-06 22:31:15 | <geekosaur> | yeh, I see no xmonad errors there |
| 2025-02-06 22:31:34 | <ectospasm> | The other thing I've noticed, is my dzen2 bar at the top isn't displaying the little battery and clock widgets I'm piping through dzen2. |
| 2025-02-06 22:31:42 | <geekosaur> | but it's behaving a lot like xmonad crashed/dumped core, which is usually FFI |
| 2025-02-06 22:32:14 | <ectospasm> | So I don't know where to look at the core dumps. I don't see any on ~/.xmonad, and I'm not sure where else they'd be. |
| 2025-02-06 22:33:06 | <ectospasm> | None in ${HOME} |
| 2025-02-06 22:33:18 | <ectospasm> | And I looked in /tmp and /run earlier, couldn't find any. |
| 2025-02-06 22:34:28 | <geekosaur> | it would be in $HOME, but core dumps also need to be enabled (ulimit -c unlimited) |
| 2025-02-06 22:35:07 | <geekosaur> | (there's also a sysctl thing but I hope they didn't use that, especially if it's sending it to some automated crash reporter that won't be smart enough to send it to us) |
| 2025-02-06 22:35:57 | <ectospasm> | I'm not aware of anything Arch does like that, I'd be surprised if they did. |
| 2025-02-06 22:36:05 | <ectospasm> | Stuff like that I'd have to explicitly set up. |
| 2025-02-06 22:36:12 | <geekosaur> | I would too, actually |
| 2025-02-06 22:36:24 | <geekosaur> | Fedora and Ubuntu do it, it's annoying |
| 2025-02-06 22:36:39 | <ectospasm> | Yeah, but they have more staff to handle such things |
| 2025-02-06 22:36:55 | <geekosaur> | doesn't mean either of them forward crash dumps to us |
| 2025-02-06 22:37:13 | <ectospasm> | Let me try the ulimit thing... |
| 2025-02-06 22:38:41 | <geekosaur> | you need to run that at boot before xmonad starts for it to be effective; I don't know how Arch allows you to do that |
| 2025-02-06 22:39:01 | <geekosaur> | if you're using ~/.xsession / ~/.xinitrc then you can put it there |
| 2025-02-06 22:39:04 | <ectospasm> | Run it at boot, or just before I launch X/xinit/xmonad? |
| 2025-02-06 22:39:17 | <geekosaur> | the latter |
| 2025-02-06 22:39:30 | <geekosaur> | (I mean, I would actually do the former because ugh) |
| 2025-02-06 22:39:45 | <ectospasm> | Yeah, I killed X, ran `ulimit -c unlimited`, then my stx (startx) alias which recompiled xmonad before startx. |
| 2025-02-06 22:39:50 | <geekosaur> | but also run `ulimit -a` in a shell to see what it currently is |
| 2025-02-06 22:39:55 | <ectospasm> | I don't see a core dump in ${HOME} |
| 2025-02-06 22:40:17 | <ectospasm> | yeah, it says `-c unlimited` |
| 2025-02-06 22:42:40 | <geekosaur> | could you have your .xinitrc do `echo "xmonad exit $?" >> ~/.xsession-errors` right after running xmonad? |
| 2025-02-06 22:42:53 | <geekosaur> | (or whatever file you're starting xmonad with) |
| 2025-02-06 22:43:16 | <ectospasm> | Yeah, it's .xinitrc, so put it after the exec xmonad line? |
| 2025-02-06 22:44:17 | <geekosaur> | also remove the `exec` so it'll actually get run |
