Subject: [xmonad] Could not load modules after recent update
Message-ID: <CAJiJgM2T4OJPTi9Oeq+jnrxHwROeFiNK_AHstiFwSw5gdi3dYQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I use xmonad on arch linux. I've recently updated my system, as one
often does, and now my xmonad.hs is failing to compile and I am failing to
start xmonad.

Here is an example of an error:

xmonad.hs:3:1: error:
    Could not load module ‘XMonad.Actions.CycleWS’
    It is a member of the package
‘xmonad-contrib-0.18.1-Hn3tyQ1hgcfBs6gP5hIKJ’
    which is unusable due to missing dependencies:
      random-1.2.1.2-4MvNAJNQIvxGHtrKNblxG1
    Use -v (or `:set -v` in ghci) to see a list of the files searched for.
  |
3 | import XMonad.Actions.CycleWS
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The full log is here: https://pastebin.com/KkFQQSwU

It seems that xmonad-contrib is missing the "random" library. I've tried
reinstalling xmonad, xmonad-contrib, haskell-random, and any other library
I can think of. However, it does not seem to improve the situation.

Is there anything I can do to debug this further?

Here are some of my installed package versions:
xmonad 0.18.0-20
xmonad-contrib 0.18.1-5
haskell-random 1.2.1.2-16

Thank you kindly

Might not be very helpful, but I'm also on Arch and I moved from using system-provided Haskell packages for my xmonad needs.

System-provided packages are upgraded almost on every update, and xmonad has to be recompiled every time, and if you forget to recompile it then after a reboot your DE won't work and you have to drop to a tty to fix that.

Also, there is a truckload of haskell packages and they clutter up the update logs - removing them freshened up things considerably.

So I can't help you with this particular problem, but I can help you transition to stack-based install, which has the nice benefit of not breaking on system updates.
(however, it has the downside of taking 13GB of space in the ~/.stack/ folder, YMMV)

For what it's worth, the Arch Wiki warns about this (
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xmonad#Problems_with_finding_shared_libraries_after_update)
and gives solutions. The way Arch manages its Haskell packages causes
problems like this.

I've tried some of the suggested solutions in the arch linux wiki, but they
do not seem to work.

I built everything from scratch using stack and seems to be back to
working. Thank you for the suggestion.

I built xmonad and xmonad-contrib off of the v0.18.0 and v0.18.1 tags
respectively. How and how often do you upgrade your installation?

I upgrade weekly, but I'm a dev so I'm expected to keep on top of `master`.

Got it.

And what do you do to fully rebuild? git pull [...]; stack upgrade; stack
install?

I use cabal, not stack. I have an upgrade script but it basically builds
xmonad exe, X11 lib, xmonad lib, xmonad-contrib lib, then my config.

Subject: [xmonad] DynamicProjects: creating a new project that partially
 matches predefined project
Message-ID: <87bjz01yp4.fsf@gmail.com>

Dear All,

I use XMonad.Actions.DynamicProjects. I have a bunch of configured, predefined projects, say one with name "emacs". Now, when I use switchProjectPrompt, I do not know how to create a new (not predefined) project called "em": as soon as I type "em" it matches "emacs" and on pressing enter the "emacs" project is created. The only solution I've found is to type "em1" or similar, to prevent matching  but I guess there must be a simpler way that I am missing.

Thanks,

R.

This is an interesting issue. I *think* you need to change your XPConfig to
change autoComplete to Nothing so the completion isn't auto-selected. It
would be nice if switchProjectPrompt did this automatically, though.

Thanks, but I tried and it does not seem to solve it. These are the relevant bits of my xmonad.hs

myProjectConfig = def {
         font            = "xft:Inconsolata:size=14:bold:antialias=true"
       , position        = CenteredAt (1/2) (1/2)
       , fgColor         = "White"
       , bgColor         = "#454545"
       , height          = 36
       , searchPredicate = fuzzyMatch
       , sorter          = fuzzySort
       , autoComplete    = Nothing
       }
       
("M-w", switchProjectPrompt myProjectConfig)

I've commented out the fuzzyMatch and fuzzSort , but that does not help. 

Best,

R.
