Xmonad and dbus
So I can start Xmonad with dbus but then the keyboard doesn't work (mouse works fine however), and xmobar doesn't show up. If I start it without dbus started, everything works fine. I can then start dbus and things continue to work fine. Any ideas on getting xmonad to start with dbus started?
mreschke wrote:Explicitly starting dbus before Hal works, must have both
No - hal has been deprecated. From Xorg 1.8 it is no longer necessary.
News wrote:After upgrading to this release, configuration for input devices in hal is ignored.

Xmonad and Xmobar: avoidStruts no longer exposes Xmobar
I've been using Xmonad with the same config for months now. I reinstalled Arch recently, and ever since then avoidStruts no longer keeps Xmobar from being hidden behind windows.
I have installed the xmonad and xmonad-contrib packages; my config compiles without errors. I'm at a loss here because I can't identify any changes that may have been made to either of the aforementioned packages that might cause this issue.

Help, please? Thanks.aesiris wrote:Did you add dbus-core inside releng/packages.* ?
If yes, remove it and leave only dbus
No, neither of them were in packages.i686. I even tried adding dbus to that file to see if it would help, but it didn't change the error message.
It seems like archiso is installing some core files before it installs my custom packages, and maybe that is where the problem lies, but I really have no idea. -
Xmonad and focus follows mouse issue
I've been fiddling around with xmonad, and I notice that with focus follows mouse turned on, when I create a new window the window under the mouse gets selected instead of the window that I have just created. Pretty irritating, Anyone know how to solve that?
Thanks for any help provided,
KruppeYes, disabling the focus follows mouse behaviour makes it so the correct window is always chosen.
I kind of like having focus follows mouse for when I need to copy and paste in applications that don't provide good methods for doing that purely with the keyboard (firefox and most terminals when not using screen). I would therefore like to have focus follows mouse.
Sidenote: What is this updatePointer thing you use and what does it do? -
I need a little help with xmonad and stuff
Hi all. I recently changed from fluxbox to xmonad, and I find it fantastic. I have some minor? problems.
In fluxbox I was using xterm as a terminal emulator, but I couldnt use irssi with it, the Alt + w/e keys weren't working. They worked however in aterm and urxvt but those two support only 16 colors, and I wish to use 256 colors, mainly because of my vim color scheme. Is there a solution to be able to run both irssi and vim from the same terminal, or should I run different terminals for them?
Also where can I read up on setting my .Xdefaults and xmonad.hs file? I ripped someones from this forum, and it works nice, but I want to make my onw, but cant find any decent documentation. Thanks.
edit:
I found the solution to using the Alt key in xterm. I had to add theese two lines in my .Xdefaults
XTerm*eightBitInput: false
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true

At the moment, the best source for configs are those posted in the screenshots thread (for both Xdefaults and xmonad.hs), the xmonad config archive (and the available docs from the root page on that site), and our own thread. Unfortunately you'll have to sort of scrounge for good docs on the xmonad.hs at the moment, since most of the information was written for the 0.4 version of xmonad. The configuration has since been made MUCH simpler.
Hope that helps some. -
Kde authorization (polkit and dbus driving me insane)
hi,
apologies if this is complete newbie territory, but it's been a long time since i last used linux as a desktop OS so polkit and dbus are all new to me.
the problem, basically, is that KDE won't let me do anything i would consider privileged. network manager applet won't let me change wifi connections, package manager doesn't work and usb disks won't mount.
let's start with usb disks. i added a polkit rule as per the wiki:
[root@mjollnir rules.d]# cat 10-enable-mount.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system" && subject.isInGroup("storage")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
and i am in the storage group:
$ groups
wheel network audio storage power
but i get the following error when i try to open a newly inserted usb disk in dolphin:
Error checking authorization: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount is not registered (polkit-error-quark, 0)
and now for network manager -
running nm-applet from a terminal and trying to change wifi connection gives me this:
** (nm-applet:1369): WARNING **: Could not create object for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/0: No session found for uid 1000 (unknown)

i do have dbus processes running under my userid, so i think i have a session but i'm not really sure what i'm looking for, and learning the complete ins and outs of dbus is more than a little daunting for what should be a relatively simple task!
can anyone point me in the right direction to start figuring this out? i'm currently seriously considering a complete reinstall but i'm not sure i have the time for that, especially since i don't know if it would necessarily solve the problem
fwiw, i booted a mint livecd and all this stuff worked fine so it's not my hardwareSorry for being vague - i understand it's not easy dealing with newbies i'll try to be clearer!
I was running kdm as root, then logging in as a regular user. I've now enabled the kdm systemctl service as per mariusmeyer's instructions, but it didn't change what happens when i insert a USB disk - same error as before.

[SOLVED] Trouble installing Xmonad and Xmonad-contrib
I am new to Arch Linux. After using awesome for a month I decided to shift to xmonad.I installed xmonad and xmonad-contrib from official arch repositories by using
pacman -S xmonad xmonad-contrib
and then installed GHC. I was able to start session using
exec xmonad
in my ~/.xsession file. I copied the default xmonad.hs template to my home.
cp /usr/share/xmonad-0.11/man/xmonad.hs ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
. However while recompiling I am getting this error -
xmonad.hs:14:18:
Could not find module `XMonad.StackSet'
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
So I checked the modules in my ghc

Any Idea why pacman is unable to resolve the dependency. Are they availiable in AUR?
PS: I have just updated by installation and I am not using AUR right now.

My pacman.conf was really in a very bad shape at the time of installation of Xmonad. I think I must be careless to notice and removed dependency check.
When I compiled my xmonad.hs I found errors related to GHC. I was too surprised, however installed it further. Now since GHC was installed later, it missed some modules which were previously installed.
I tried reinstalling xmonad, xmonad-contrib before but there was no use. However recursively removing and installing, as suggested by you, seems to have fixed have problem. I am now getting following modules in GHC.

[solved]xorg server 1.6 and dbus (???)
hello everyone
first of all, i'm fairly new to arch, however, i do have experience with linux. i've been using gentoo for about 4 years and a few other distributions before that.
secondly, i'd like to apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, but i couldn't really find a place where it'd fit in.
today i've installed arch on my macbook (one of the late 2008 models) and so far, quite a few things work. there is, however, one thing i noticed as soon as i started dbus, keyboard events in xorg got repeated. to be more precise, if i hit the letter a, it would print an a on key press and another one on key release. i have xorg server 1.6.3.901-1.
did anyone else have a similar problem and/or knows how this can be fixed?
thanks in advance for anything that might help
edit: quite oddly, a reboot (which did not help previously) fixed it this time...

Run process in xmonad and capturing output
Hi!
For my xmonad config, I need something like spawn, but that will return any output from the process spawned.
I was thinking of using runProcessWithInput from Xmonad.Utils.Run.
Is there a better way to do this?You may find runProcess from System.Process to be of some help. It takes several options, including handles for STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR.

Find a window in XMonad and apply some actions to it
Hi everyone, I think this should be really easy for someone who's good at Haskell but I just couldn't figure it out as I'm bad at it.
Basically I want to search through the list of windows in the current workspace, find one matching some condition and apply some action to it; if not found then create this window.
I had a skeleton code like this
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W
import XMonad.Actions.WindowGo
findWindow condition actionIfFound actionIfNotFound =
ifWindow (condition <&&> member W.current) windowFound actionIfNotFound
where windowFound = ask >>= w -> do actionIfFound wHi guymatsuda,

Error binding udev_event socket: Address already in use
And when trying to start dbus with /etc/rc.d/dbus restart i get this when it fails:
Failed to start message bus: Failed to bind socket "/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket": Address already in use
Any suggestions?If you think it's a common problem how about filing a bug report. Would likely help more people than just posting in the forum. Just a suggestion.

(SOLVED) Hal and dbus, do I need dbus?
I read the wiki and it says if I don't use hal in my daemons then I need to add dbus.
I haven't been using hal, and I haven't added dbus either. My system seems to be working right, but I guess something could be wrong. Reading the wiki brings me here to ask if I need dbus and why?
My daemons,
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network !netfs @alsa @mpd @crond)
Last edited by Google (2010-07-03 11:21:11)sudo pacman -R dbus
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: avahi: requires dbus>=1.1.20-1
:: awesome: requires dbus
:: gconf: requires dbus
:: qt: requires dbus
I assume I should add it to daemons?

I inquired and finally received back information on this project and figured you guys might be interested.
Here is the email's text:
Follow the instructions to compile from:
http://wiki.compiz.org/C%2B%2BCompiling
replace the src direction from the git clone of core with the attached tar
before compiling compiz
things that use the mouse or workspace management generally dont work.
everything else should work ok.
you'll need to compile extra plugins etc.

I've thrown up the necessary data at my github, so feel free to play with it. Enjoy :>Square wrote:

Thanks for this, I saw that vid a while back and did wonder.
How are you finding it? Did you run into any issues? -
I've been using xmonad for a while now, and just started playing with Xmonad.Actions.WindowBringer.
It uses dmenu for the menu, and I can't for the life of me figure out where to put the options that I want to use for dmenu. Things like different, and bigger font, different colors, etc....
I looked at the windowbringer.hs file, and found something about dmenu opts = menu dmenu opts or something like that. So I thought that if I could modify that in my ~/.xmonad.hs file, I would be good, but on recompile, I kept getting an error message about that line, so was I on the right track or is there an easier way to do it?I did not know that, but then again, I only tried dwm (which dmenu came from, if I remember right) for a little while, as I got tired or recompiling it all the time.
I'll give it a shot, though, when it's updated thru pacman.... but I'll try it. Thanks. -
Detective support: what is going on with pcmanfm and dbus?
Hello again,
thanks for reading and sorry for spamming the forum but I prefer to open one topic per question for simplicity.
I noticed that pcmanfm is putting debug messages into my terminal when I launch it from there which look like this:
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda1
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda2
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda3
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda4
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda5
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda6
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdc
** (pcmanfm:3426): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdc1
that notation looks familiar to me, looks like pcmanfm is sending messages to dbus?
How could I have noticed that pcmanfm is using dbus without stumbling across these debug messages by accident as each program author may or may not provide these? How do I find out from there (meaning: once I have identified what is going to dbus) what is being done with these messages, i.e. how do I follow the sequence of events up until the mounting of my devices? Ideally, I am imagining that there is a command to look at what messages were sent to dbus, then a config file to look at to see what dbus did based on these messages, such that I could deduce pcmanfm -> message to dbus -> look in config file /path/to/config -> mount /dev/sdc1 /media -t vfat
Is this something that can be deduced without having to guess around from merely having experience with linux?
thanks a lot for reading this and thanks for your kind replies!i don't get it, what is your question? i don't see a problem with this. if everything is functioning i wouldn't worry about it. for example, i can start something like kwrite from terminal and i get a bajillion different notes showing up just from typing or clicking on something like "find" (some of them are debug messages, some are warnings, most of it is disorganized and scrambled info) yet it works perfectly fine.
