How do I fix this Xmonad configuration

Question

Hi,
I am trying to add multimedia keys support for my Xmonad. Here is my current
setup.
import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig
import System.IO
import XMonad.Actions.Volume
main = xmonad =<< statusBar myBar myPP toggleStrutKey myConfig
-- Command to launch the bar
myBar = "xmobar"
-- Custom PP, it determines what is written to the bar
myPP = xmobarPP { ppCurrent = xmobarColor "#429942" "" . wrap "<" ">" }
-- Key bindings to toggle the gap for the bar
toggleStrutKey XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modMask} = (modMask, xK_b)
myConfig = defaultConfig {
    manageHook = manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig,
    layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig,
    modMask = mod4Mask, -- Rebind Mod to windows key
    borderWidth = 3
    } `additionalKeys`
    [ ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_z), spawn "xscreensaver-command -lock"),
      ("<XF86AudioLowerVolume>", lowerVolume 3 >> return ())
However, I am getting this error:
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/yasar/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
xmonad.hs:8:8:
    No instances for (Show (l0 GHC.Word.Word32),
                      Read (l0 GHC.Word.Word32))
      arising from a use of `xmonad'
    Possible fix:
      add instance declarations for
      (Show (l0 GHC.Word.Word32), Read (l0 GHC.Word.Word32))
    In the first argument of `(=<<)', namely `xmonad'
    In the expression:
        xmonad =<< statusBar myBar myPP toggleStrutKey myConfig
    In an equation for `main':
        main = xmonad =<< statusBar myBar myPP toggleStrutKey myConfig
xmonad.hs:8:19:
    No instance for (LayoutClass l0 Window)
      arising from a use of `statusBar'
    Possible fix:
      add an instance declaration for (LayoutClass l0 Window)
    In the second argument of `(=<<)', namely
      `statusBar myBar myPP toggleStrutKey myConfig'
    In the expression:
        xmonad =<< statusBar myBar myPP toggleStrutKey myConfig
    In an equation for `main':
        main = xmonad =<< statusBar myBar myPP toggleStrutKey myConfig
xmonad.hs:26:8:
    Couldn't match expected type `(ButtonMask, KeySym)'
                with actual type `[Char]'
    In the expression: "<XF86AudioLowerVolume>"
    In the expression:
      ("<XF86AudioLowerVolume>", lowerVolume 3 >> return ())
    In the second argument of `additionalKeys', namely
      `[((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_z),
         spawn "xscreensaver-command -lock"),
        ("<XF86AudioLowerVolume>", lowerVolume 3 >> return ())]'
Please check the file for errors.
xmonad: xmessage: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
I was trying to follow the example in here:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmon … _xmonad.hs
, However, I couln't make it work. I am really new to Xmonad, and never used
Haskell before, so any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

pacman -Sf catalyst-utils should bring back /etc/ati, iirc.
