xmonad error on Ubuntu 9.04

Hi All,

I just installed xmonad on a new Ubuntu 9.04 system and was hoping it
would be quick to setup. I killed metacity and tried to run xmonad
from the command line. I get the following error and not sure what it
could be due to.  I am using ghc 6.10.3 and seem to have all the
necessary packages.

Would be great if I can get a hint of what is going on.

$ xmonad/home/pprakash/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-linux: executeFile: does
not exist (No such file or directory)

Re: xmonad from gnome-session-2.26

Hi,

I'm getting the following in .xsession-errors:

x-session-manager[7478]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'xmonad' of
required component 'windowmanager'

Any hints?

ah, yes, the Debian xmonad package ships this file:

$ cat /usr/share/applications/xmonad.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Xmonad
Exec=xmonad
NoDisplay=true
X-GNOME-WMName=Xmonad
X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=WindowManager
X-GNOME-Provides=windowmanager
X-GNOME-Autostart-Notify=false

it’s probably needed as well.

If you want to include that in the official xmonad distribution, I’d be
grateful.

Greetings,

XMonad.Layout.ComboP by Konstantin Sobolev should solve this problem.

Hi Wirt,

By the way, how you can pass an event to xmonad from dzen clickable
areas (or any other external program)?

Cheers,

I am trying to installing the xmonad in Archlinux. But when I try to run xmonad, it always gives me an error

xmonad: X11 error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied), request code=28, error code=10

Is there anyone can help me with this?
I have no idea what to do about this...

Thank you so much!

This means a window manager is already running, only one can run at a time.
Kill the other WM or somehow arrange for it not to run.

It's not really passing to xmonad, as far as I know people use xdotool
or similar program to generate xorg keypresses. Really this is just
another case of keybinding.

... agreed! so much more usable tiled.

I happen to have enough vertical resolution to use only one pane for
tools. I'm using the same setup as sereven's config [1] basically:

gimp     = reflectHoriz $ 
           named "Gimp" $ 
           withIM (11/64) (Role "gimp-toolbox") $ 
           ResizableTall 2 (1/118) (11/20) [5/4,5/4,5/4]

This uses IM, Named and Reflect.
