xmonad-ubuntu-conf's Issues

Build errors when recompiling Xmonad

I'm on the master branch and installed the configuration by moving my old configuration and running the provided script. Whenever I log in/xmonad --recompile I see the errors below.

It's likely I'm missing something or did something silly with an old Xmonad configuration (I'm pretty sure I've always had it installed via apt-get, but I saw the caveat mentioned in the README - I assume those issues would arise from multiple versions of xmonad being installed? which -a xmonad only shows one binary on my path so I think I'm okay there).

Notes for ubuntu 20.04

As ubuntu has shifted its sole attention to ubuntu 20.xx, It will be better to update the repo with the guidance for that.

Upgrading notes to 18.04 in README

First of all, thank you. I had tried Xmonad out prior and just couldn't get over that initial resistance in the default configuration. Trying to get a good config was just not a task I could tackle without knowing I would use it. You made it easy.

I was using UB 16.04 LTS, and recently upgraded to 18.04 LTS. I had your xmonad configs up prior with a small amount of customization. After pulling down your repo changes, and restarting the session, I noticed that stalonetray and variety weren't working. Also, synapse had a funky look with little black boxes. I tried changing start-xmonad, but the changes didn't seem to take. Finally, I realized that the start-xmonad wasn't being executed. Copying the desktop file from your repo again into /usr/share/xsessions seems to have everything up and running correctly.

Maybe a small section on the few tasks that need to be done to "properly" handle a dist upgrade?

I can fork and PR if you'd like, but my ideas my be a bit more on the trial-and-error side. I might also be missing something I should have done, but have not yet done. :)

error in title bar

Hello David

thanks for the thoroughly commented conf files, they are very helpful! After a clean install using your script in Ubuntu 13.10, the status bar keeps displaying an error message:

screenshot from 2013-11-14 16 02 21

or textually

   error: user error(unrecognized option `-c' )

I have googled this error message in the xmonad context, to no avail. Any pointers on how to get rid of it?

@davidbrewer updated to include txt as well as screenshot

Switching escape and caps lock setting overwritten

I have my escape and caps lock key set to by switched via the gnome control panel. Installation of of this seems to have undone this. I used the install script. I did not have the problem with vanilla xmonad.

Some steps in the installation script fail on Ubuntu 18.04

Thank you for taking the time to put this configuration and instructions together.

I just wanted to mention that on Ubuntu 18.04 the following steps of the Xmonad installation script fail:

Creating xmonad xsession configuration...
cp: cannot stat '/home/damian/.xmonad/xmonad.desktop': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access '/usr/share/xsessions/xmonad.desktop': No such file or directory

Transparency all windows

Hello! it seams that you know how to work arround haskell and xmonad.

I've tried but, got lost really fast. You're conf it's awesome. It deals with all the thing i wanted perfectlly. The modbar, the trayer and the wallpapers per screen.

still I'm missing something, transparency on all windows. I would love to have 90% transparency on all windows, and some key toggle (ex. mod-o mod-i) to incrise or decrese transparency)

thanks a lot!

Does not start on 18.04

Should this work out-of-the-box? I have a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 installation and xmonad does not start properly. I only see the desktop background and a mouse. No status bar. Mod+shift+enter and Ctrl+Space don't do anything :(

Thanks and Reference

Started my own repo recently: https://github.com/simlu/xmonad
I've tried to keep it a modular and put the user in charge of customization.

Just discovered this repo now and learned a lot already that I want to incorporate. Conversely I thought you might want to take a look at my repo as well!

Thanks again and I hope we can increase the amount of xmonad users drastically in the future!

Possible issue and suggestions

Hi,
I am using your config on ubuntu 16, it is very easy to setup and use, Great Work!

However, I have found some minor things bugging me. One of them is, I am a emacs user and C-space is blocked from usage. I tried to get rid of the line , ((myModMask.|. mod1Mask, xK_space), spawn "synapse"), but I can still trigger synapse by C-space. And is there a way to make Mod-p as the default one and deal with the problem throughly?

Power management issues

Noticing that my battery life under xmonad is awful for a X230 thinkpad. I'm guessing that's because unity has sucked up power management responsibilites. Is it possible to get those accounted for in the this conf?

update-notifier wont start with appropiate persmissions

I know this isn't your fault nor responsibility. But you seam really smart, or at least smarter than me (:

I've setted this line in my .xmonad/startup-hook:
update-notifier

It does appears each time I log-in, but I can't update my software, nor change any config. I have to do all my updates over manual CLI.

Can you think in a way to use the GUI to keep my ubuntu up to date ?

TY

Install script wrong path

Your install script copies the data from ~/.xmonad which works for you when all is installed. But to work from the repository you need to copy it from xmonad-ubuntu-conf
