| 2021-07-24 15:36:31 | <Zevv> | Hi folks. I'm considering from moving to one screen after having two for a long time, but I'd really miss the desktop switching on to monitors. Is there a way to mimic the behavior of two monitors when having only one? |
| 2021-07-24 15:36:45 | <Zevv> | So have it split and be able to pull up desktops on both halves? |
| 2021-07-24 15:38:13 | <geekosaur> | XMonad.Layout.LayoutScreens? |
| 2021-07-24 15:40:49 | <Zevv> | is there something this stuff can not do |
| 2021-07-24 15:40:51 | <Zevv> | thanks geekosaur |
| 2021-07-24 15:42:53 | <geekosaur> | one thing that can't do is relay it to clients, which may still open across both "screens" although xmonad will as usual try to tile them appropriately |
| 2021-07-24 15:43:06 | <geekosaur> | this is most noticeable with floating windows |
| 2021-07-24 15:43:47 | <Zevv> | well, that sounds very usable; I'll give this a spin on one of my screens before going on a shopping spree, but sounds like what I need |
| 2021-07-24 15:43:51 | <Zevv> | cool |
| 2021-07-24 15:44:22 | <geekosaur> | there are tricks you can play with xrandr if this isn't good enough |
| 2021-07-24 15:46:27 | <Zevv> | but on xrandr it'll still be one logical screen I guess? |
| 2021-07-24 15:47:06 | <geekosaur> | no, because of the ugly hack by which we get multiple screens in the first place |
| 2021-07-24 15:47:34 | <geekosaur> | basuically you can carve up the root eindow any way you want with xrandr and it will accept it |
| 2021-07-24 15:47:49 | <Zevv> | sweet. I didn't know that |
| 2021-07-24 15:48:40 | <geekosaur> | (at least until the next time you plug in or unplug a monitor, at which point it goes back to what the monitors report) |
| 2021-07-24 15:50:09 | <Zevv> | fair enough |
| 2021-07-24 16:13:54 | <liskin> | Zevv: there's also https://chipsenkbeil.com/notes/linux-virtual-monitors-with-xrandr/, which basically turns one large screen into two at the xserver/xrandr/xinerama level so most (all?) apps should work just as well as with two actual monitors |
| 2021-07-24 16:15:10 | <liskin> | I actually wanted to deprecate X.L.LayoutScreens in favor of this one, but I think there were still other valid uses of X.L.LayoutScreens, but I can't remember now what those were |
| 2021-07-24 16:40:40 | <Zevv> | oh nice thanks |

| 2021-07-24 18:04:05 | <liskin> | Solid: I'm working on the recompilation/installation stuff and I noticed xinitrc/xsession on Debian doesn't source .profile so xmonad isn't in $PATH; where do you set yours? in xinitrc? |
| 2021-07-24 18:04:41 | <liskin> | (I downloaded a bunch of minimal .qcow2 images so I can test the procedure from minimal assumptions) |
| 2021-07-24 18:09:11 | <geekosaur> | that's odd because I thought ubuntu inherited that behavior from debian |
| 2021-07-24 18:10:21 | <liskin> | it's entirely possible I'm doing something wrong |
| 2021-07-24 18:10:30 | <liskin> | maybe a different desktop manager would source it |
| 2021-07-24 18:10:48 | <liskin> | obviously when logging into the text console and then doing startx it works |

| 2021-07-24 18:26:00 | <liskin> | oh, sddm's Xsession seems to source profile |
| 2021-07-24 18:26:15 | <liskin> | but it needs a .desktop :-/ |
| 2021-07-24 18:27:29 | <geekosaur> | that would explain it, lightdm probably does the same |
| 2021-07-24 18:27:44 | <liskin> | lightdm was the one that didn't |

| 2021-07-24 18:58:26 | <Solid> | liskin: I just have `exec "$XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR"/xmonad-x86_64-linux` in my xinitrc |

| 2021-07-24 20:20:13 | <geekosaur> | welp, turns out my start-xmonad wrapper sources my .profile so I may be wrong about anything else doing so |
| 2021-07-24 20:20:26 | <geekosaur> | I hadn't looked at it in years |
| 2021-07-24 20:20:57 | <geekosaur> | also I need to upload my current config at some point |
| 2021-07-24 20:22:19 | <liskin> | well, we probably don't need to worry about this too much |
| 2021-07-24 20:22:33 | <liskin> | people don't usually get stuck on this one |
| 2021-07-24 20:23:31 | <liskin> | it's just that my method of verifying/improving INSTALL.md happens to be very detailed :-) |
| 2021-07-24 22:03:50 | <liskin> | and on Fedora, /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common sources .profile |
| 2021-07-24 22:04:27 | <liskin> | it's crazy how this whole xinitrc thing differs from distro to distro |
