Subject: [xmonad] xmonad on ubuntu desktop environment
Message-ID: <e5379154-4b1f-a734-5e36-52187747f63c@thestever.net>

Hello, I got a new computer and install ubuntu to 18.04 (Bionic Beaver). 
When i login through xmonad, my ubuntu desktop environment disappears, 
it's all black. No wallpaper, no tray, no nothing. My xmonad.hs file is 
as follows:
 > import XMonad
 > import XMonad.Config.Desktop
 >
 > baseConfig = desktopConfig
 >
 > main = xmonad baseConfig
 >    { modMask = mod4Mask }

This config file worked with my previous version of ubuntu and now just 
loads a black screen. I can get into my terminal window by doing a 
mod-shift-enter and that's how I get around, but I would like to get 
back into the ubuntu tray (mod-p, for instance).

I tried an alternative configuration on one of the wiki's to no avail.
 > import XMonad import
 > XMonad.Config.Gnome
 >
 > main = xmonad gnomeConfig

Tried googling, checking the wiki's and going through the documentation 
to no avail.

I am thinking maybe there's some error on the logs or something that I 
can check. or is there something that I'm doing that is obviously wrong?

This has less to do with xmonad than with your display manager session; an
xmonad session will be xmonad itself, not all the stuff that comes with
Gnome. And simply using a Gnome compatibility config won't cause Ubuntu
login to start a Gnome session with xmonad for you.

This is complicated by Gnome 3 being incompatible with alternative window
managers; most of its functionality is in gnome-shell, including the window
manager component, and you can't replace the window manager without
ditching gnome-shell entirely. The Gnome developers have no intention of
changing this. You may be able to run gnome-panel standalone without it
trying to start gnome-shell, but you have to do that separately. It's
easier to do this with more component-oriented desktops like MATE and XFCE.

What happens if you choose the "GNOME Flashback (Xmonad)" session when
logging in, instead of the "XMonad" session?

The xmonad package in Ubuntu includes two xsessions, one with xmonad
only and one with "GNOME Flashback" (which I guess means fallback) and
xmonad:

"Flashback" is someone forking and maintaining the old "fallback" package,
which was discontinued upstream after Gnome 3.6. It's actually Gnome 2
underneath; Gnome 3 has never supported alternative window managers
directly, "gnome-fallback" instead forced a Gnome 3-like theme onto Gnome 2.

Hi,

I've just recently upgraded my system and now I'm getting the following
error:

The key part is

      NB: ‘containers-0.5.11.0:Data.Map.Internal.Map’
            is defined in ‘Data.Map.Internal’ in package
‘containers-0.5.11.0’
          ‘M.Map’
            is defined in ‘Data.Map.Internal’ in package
‘containers-0.6.0.1’

This suggests your xmonad and xmonad-contrib need to be rebuilt with the
new version of containers. Alternately, you will need to use ghc's
PackageImports extension to force your xmonad.hs to import Data.Map from
containers-0.5.11.0.
