Xmonad installation

Hey. So I have a fresh install of Arch install, just the core installation with the drivers and X set up; the basics. No other DE is installed.
I downloaded and installed xmonad. After doing so I still didn't have a ~/.xmonad directory nor a .xinitrc file, so I made the latter. It contains: http://pastebin.com/A5s5eLuN
xmonad --recompile - xmonad: /home/anthony/.xmonad/xmonad.errors: openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
So I create ~/.xmonad and do xmonad--recompile again and get:
Error detecting while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/anthony/.xmonad/xmonad
<no location info>: can't find file: xmonad.hs
Which makes sense since the file isn't there, but the Arch Linux Wiki lists to run this command to create ~/.xmonad and I presume the default xmonad.hs.
Is there something I'm completely missing here?
Thanks.

First in your .xinitrc your line that starts xmonad should read:
exec xmonad
Second make sure your .xmonad directory is empty. This way xmonad will pull default settings.
When you are ready to customize your settings, create a xmonad.hs file in your .xmonad directory with your changes.
The Arch Wiki says "Recently, users in #xmonad have stated that the exec is not required; simply adding xmonad as the last line in your startup script is the proper way to start this WM.".
However, I've tried both ways and xmonad doesn't load on boot. Installing xmonad doesn't pull the default xmonad.hs file.

Hi maybe i can help I just installed xmonad today for the first time took a bit to get running but what i had to do according to the arch wiki was get the xmonad.hs template here
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/C … _%280.9%29
copy that to the directory you made ~/.xmonad and then in that directory run
xmonad --recompile
then just stick
exec xmonad
in your .xinitrc
hope that helps
I put this xmonad.hs file in ~/.xmonad and issues a xmonad --recompile, this went fine.
However, xmonad still doesn't load on boot.
If I issue a startx, I believe xmonad loads fine (it's just a black screen with the default pointer), pressing Mod+SHIFT+Return brings up xterm; Mod+SHIFT+Q closing it. But why wouldn't this be loading on boot?
Cheers for the help thus far people.

[SOLVED] xmonad installation - confused (?)

After recovering from a failed xmonad installation, I thought it would be a good idea to post this..
Again, to everyone who helped with my other thread, I'm sorry if this is stupid.
Every guide on installing xmonad is out of date. Or everyone that I have found anyway. I have already "sudo pacman -S xmonad" and installed it, but where do I go from here?
I have tried putting "exec xmonad" in my xinitrc, but when I login, xmonad does not start. I get this in terminal when I try running "xmonad" in gnome:
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/skai/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
xmonad.hs:5:18:
Could not find module `XMonad.Actions.Warp':
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
Please check the file for errors.
/home/skai/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
xmonad: xmessage: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 8
It says an error has been detected with my xmonad.hs. I just copied some random config in the hopes of getting this to work, so maybe that has something to do with it.
After that it says xmonad-i386-linux: executeFile does not exist.. I don't know anything about that. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?
Edit ---------------------------------------~~~~
I deserve at least one reply, no?
I have seen this problem on forums everywhere, but people either get it fixed automagically they talk to someone on IRC and figure it out. I'm not a very lucky guy, and I don't know any IRC channels.
All I'm really looking for is an installation/configure guide for xmonad, if anybody has one, please post.

Are you sure it did not start? What happaned? You get an empty screen?

Dont use random configs found somewhere on the net. Start from the default one and extend it to your needs.

A bit bold statement. I see nothing wrong with this one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmonad
I suggest remove everything from your .xmonad dir and start over.
Also, dont be impatient.

[SOLVED] Xmonad + configs from MrElendig = errors :(

Trying to set up Xmonad; installation worked, but I can't start it. I tried the configuration files by MrElendig for both Xmonad and Xmobar.
They can be found here:
http://arch.har-ikkje.net/configs/home/
I get the following error
xmonad.hs:25:7:
Could not find module `XMonad.Layout.ResizableTile':
it is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.
Ideas?

Well, you bet you should do "xmonad --recompile"
BTW, i get my xmonad configs from MrElendig too.

Help with taffybar installation for use with xmonad

I discovered nice project https://github.com/travitch/taffybar recently. It's another statusbar like xmobar or dzen2 intended for using with xmonad. It integrates with the latter using dbus instead of stdin.
Anyone had successful experience installing and running it?
I installed taffybar with cabal (cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools taffybar). But I totally confused with dbus integration. I have dbus daemon in my rc.conf, but taffybar raises the error on start: Connection Error "connectSession: DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is missing or invalid.". Than I tried to add eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax` to my .xinitrc (as suggested in installation instructions http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~travitch/taff … ybar.html), but it taffybar freezes on start. I hope someone more experienced will help me with it.

The solution was simple. I should just add dbus-launch at the bottom of the .xinirc:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch bash -c "taffybar & xmonad"
Topic can be marked as solved.

[SOLVED] Problem with ghc and xmonad

Hi !
Just to give you the problem I encounter today when doing an upgrade (pacman -Syu) :
Packages updates are : ghc-7.10.1-1 haskell-data-default-0.5.3-7 haskell-data-default-class-0.0.1-6 haskell-data-default-instances-base-0.0.1-8 haskell-data-default-instances-containers-0.0.1-6 haskell-data-default-instances-dlist-0.0.1-7 haskell-data-default-instances-old-locale-0.0.1-6 haskell-dlist-0.7.1.1-1 haskell-extensible-exceptions-0.1.1.4-9 haskell-mtl-2.2.1-2 haskell-old-locale-1.0.0.7-4 haskell-old-time-1.1.0.3-4 haskell-random-1.1-2 haskell-utf8-string-1-1 haskell-x11-1.6.1.2-3 haskell-x11-xft-0.3.1-13 xmonad-0.11.1-2 xmonad-contrib-0.11.4-2
Simple packages concerned : ghc / haskell* / xmonad
Errors are :
==> Unregistering cabalized packages...
unregistering data-default-instances-base-0.0.1 would break the following packages: xmonad-contrib-0.11.3 X11-xft-0.3.1 xmonad-0.11 X11-1.6.1.2 data-default-0.5.3 (ignoring)
==> Done.
update ghc
==> All cabalized packages need to be reinstalled now.
ghc-pkg: cannot find package data-default-class-0.0.1
Warning: Cannot read data-default/data-default.haddock:
Interface file is of wrong version: data-default/data-default.haddock
Skipping this interface.
All haskell* packages with same errors as above.
And for xmonad :
ghc-pkg: cannot find package xmonad-0.11
ghc-pkg: cannot find package xmonad-contrib-0.11.3
xmonad-contrib-0.11.4: Warning: haddock-interfaces: /usr/share/doc/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.10.1/xmonad-contrib-0.11.4/html/xmonad-contrib.haddock doesn't exist or isn't a file
Solution that worked for me :
Uninstall all packages depending on ghc (but not ghc):
pacman -R haskell-data-default haskell-data-default-class haskell-data-default-instances-base haskell-data-default-instances-containers haskell-data-default-instances-dlist haskell-data-default-instances-old-locale haskell-dlist haskell-extensible-exceptions haskell-mtl haskell-old-locale haskell-old-time haskell-random haskell-utf8-string haskell-x11 haskell-x11-xft xmonad xmonad-contrib
Re-installation of ghc :
pacman -S ghc
Installation of all packages :
pacman -S haskell-data-default haskell-data-default-class haskell-data-default-instances-base haskell-data-default-instances-containers haskell-data-default-instances-dlist haskell-data-default-instances-old-locale haskell-dlist haskell-extensible-exceptions haskell-mtl haskell-old-locale haskell-old-time haskell-random haskell-utf8-string haskell-x11 haskell-x11-xft xmonad xmonad-contrib
This time without any errors.
Inspired by this topic explaining that all packages should be upgraded together.
Maybe there is an easier solution, but I give my contribution .

Yeah, just after those messages and without rebooting, I did an :
xmonad --recompile
And errors occurs (module not found for example).
All xmonad packages depending on ghc were encountering the error : "command not executed" juste after the "cannot find package" while updating those packages.
You're right, I tried to just launch again an installation (with pacman -S) of those packages but got same "warning" and error. Then I uninstalled and installed it like I said to not get any errors nor warnings.

Question about xmonad package in the repos.

When I
sudo pacman -S xmonad
it installs xmonad and ghc goodness. But one thing that has always bothered me is that I had to hunt down a default .xmonad/xmonad.hs config file for xmonad. Can anyone explain why the package doesn't come with a default configuration file?

xmonad's "default config" is no config. i believe the file you want is buried somewhere in /usr under a different name. if you poke around xmonad.org you can find the path/name to that file but also a copy/pastable (albeit older) version of it.
i think it's done this way b/c the tweaking method is different with xmonad. it's not like editing /etc/xmonad.hs and putting it in ~, you actually /load/ the defaults into ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs and then /override/ them with your changes. this is done with a simple main function like this:
main = do
xmonad $ defaultConfig
and whatever's between { } (explicit commands or calling of functions) is passed through the defaultConfig, picking up any settings not yet set, then fed to xmonad.
so unlike other WMs where you copy a default config and edit it from there. in xmonad, you load the default config into yours with $ defaultConfig and put your tweaks (and only your tweaks) in xmonad.hs. bit of a change in thinking.
/edit: yes Xyne, i second Ashren. it's a wonderful WM and haskell's awesome. my xmonad.hs is available in my sig if you want it, i'm fairly proud of it.

How to set wallpaper in Xmonad

Hi,
I have installed Xmonad from AUR, as mentioned here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmonad, and I am trying to set my wallpaper, as mentioned in here: http://xmonad.org/tour.html , However, my installation doesn't have xpmroot command. How can I set my wallpeper?
Last edited by yasar11732 (2012-02-13 00:07:28)

The most simple and minimal way is probably to use imlibsetroot from AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40199

Xmonad - Can't start any terminal emulator (xterm,urxvt,etc)

Hi,
I've recently installed Arch Linux in Virtualbox-OSE and also installed xmonad. It took me a while to get it running. It is all working fine and I can start all kinds of applications with MOD+Shift+P, but the only thing I can't do is start a terminal emulator such as xterm or urxvt. Neither with MOD+Shift+P and MOD+Shift+Return. When I do this I see a window flashing and I think it is the program I am trying to start but it is closing right after the startup.
Does anybody recognize this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Webfp

BTW it was a real hassle to find the content of those files when you do not have a terminal emulator to use.

Xmonad fails to launch terminal

I have X11 working now (only as root, but I'll solve that one later). I can start xmonad, and I get the huge white screen, but no terminal.
I've set the default terminal in xmonad.hs to be xterm, but it doesn't want to fire it up when xmonad starts. Furthermore, if I try to create a new window the screen flickers (as if it's adding a second pane), but then instantly flips back to the single dumb window I have.
I've tried launching various terminal apps with dmenu (xterm, urxvt), but screen just flickers again and nothing happens.
For clarity, I'm not using the "darcs" version of xmonad. I just grabbed the latest stable version with pacman.
I've had the same issue in Ubuntu, and the only resolution was to grab someone else's xmonad.hs (or sit down and learn Haskell and the massive xmonad system of doing things). Xmonad also fails to generate its own xmonad.hs when run without one, so I'm stuck with the example config file for the time being.
from what I'm seeing, my best guess is that xmonad is for some reason unable to invoke a terminal.

My iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) displays a black screen during installation of Microsoft Windows 7 using the Boot Camp Assistant. How do I fix it?
The Windows 7 installer does not include required graphics or Bluetooth drivers for this computer. To obtain the necessary drivers and resolve the issue, see this article (creating the SD card and drivers for the "black screen" issue).

GHC , haskell-x11, xmonad etc issues.

Hi,
I upgraded ghc yesterday (or the day before, not sure) and when rebuilding xmonad I have some issues.
When upgrading ghc I had this message:
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y

==> See /usr/share/haskell/ and ghc-pkg list --user for a tentative list of affected packages.
I assume reinstalling them using pacman/yaourt is sufficient. When installing haskell-x11 for instance I have these messages:

and vote for its inclusion/keeping in [community]
As a consequence haskell-x11 is not available when recompiling xmonad. I have similar messages for xmonad:

When I downgrade to ghc in extra and reinstall these packages they work fine, and don't have the above dependency error messages. The only error message I keep having is:
error: scriptlet failed to execute correctly
But this might have been there before. I have no experience in actually using ghc, so maybe I'm missing something?

It's the right idea, but technically not feasible currently. [community] is maintained by a different set of people than [core], [extra] and [testing] (not only that, they are technically implemented differently at the moment, but devs are working on that about now). So only packages from [core] and [extra] can go through [testing] at present. Hence there is always only one version of a package in [community], and naturally it needs to be in sync with [core/extra], not [testing]. So currently it's assumed that people that use testing are technically skilled enough to know (and know how) to rebuild some community packages that need it.

Xmonad and vimperator

It seems that vimperator refuses to color my url white. Instead it remains black. (See screenshot).
Without cursor highlighting:
After highlighting with the cursor:
Any ideas? I have two separate installations of xmonad (two different laptops) and both have the same problem.

IIUC, you can quickly change such color scheme settings with Stylish firefox addon, but you can put it in userChrome.css or something too (it could be the other chrome file)
e.g. I wrote two styles for vimperator.
The command line:
#liberator-commandline
background: rgb(230,230,230) !important;
color: rgb(255,44,44) !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
And one for the status line where the URL is:
.hl-StatusLine {
background-color: rgb(230,230,230) !important;
color: black !important;
font-weight: normal !important;
border-top: thin solid rgb(100,100,100) !important;

[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.

@Raynman
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.

Can no longer enter data in the address bar {url Bar}, it correctly follows data from google search bar. It was a 1 month old installation so not a lot of complications

I was not adding anything to Firefox. I Refused tool bars embedded in several application installs on this new computer. Was working fine. Then had a problem with Google search, restored default values and re-tooled Firefox. At this point all worked fine. Then my url, address bar changed color to the same color as the program shell, a grey brown as opposed to the white it was before. With the change in color it no longer allows me to change the data showing in the bar. I can not delete or add data. I used to add a url and navigate to the domain. Now I can not

Greetings,
TY for the reply, the information was enlightening to be sure. I never knew safe mode was an option with Firefox. I have so many tasks running that I didn't want to shut things down. What I did is turn off some of the last plug-ins I installed. That did not fix the problem at least in the first look. What happened next was very interesting none the less. I had a moment of mouse spastic wrist syndrome and accidentally moved a tab in such a way that it opened in a new window. The URL bar was white and editable. So I moved all my tabs to the new window and everything works as it should. I have restarted Firefox this morning and it came back with the bar editable and I am speechless to understand what I may have done to correct the problem if anything ??
