Bug#469852: [xmonad] Ubuntu, Xmonad, and Xinerama
Hi, Am Dienstag, den 18.03.2008, 12:23 -0400 schrieb Chris Sanner: I ask! (thanks for the speedy response) I've got the libxinerama-dev and x11proto-xinerama-dev packages installed...haskell-x11 and xmonad-contrib aren't available in the ubuntu repositories for hardy heron. I do, however, have these: ii ghc6 6.8.2-2ubuntu1 ii ghc6-doc 6.8.2-2ubuntu1 ii ghc6-prof 6.8.2-2ubuntu1 ii libghc6-cairo-dev 0.9.12.1-1ubuntu1 ii libghc6-glib-dev 0.9.12.1-1ubuntu1 ii libghc6-mtl-dev1.1.0.0-2 ii libghc6-mtl-doc1.1.0.0-2 ii libghc6-mtl-prof 1.1.0.0-2 ii libghc6-quickcheck-dev 1.1.0.0-2 ii libghc6-quickcheck-doc 1.1.0.0-2 ii libghc6-quickcheck-prof1.1.0.0-2 ii libghc6-x11-dev1.4.1-1 ii libghc6-x11-doc1.4.1-1 ii libghc6-x11-prof 1.4.1-1 ii libghc6-xmonad-dev 0.6-3 ii libghc6-xmonad-doc 0.6-3 ii libghc6-xmonad-prof0.6-3 If I need to download the packages listed, should I do so from the debian repos? can I do what I need to do with these? and how? (Thanks again! and thanks for your initial packages for gutsy. Got me hooked on this sucker a few weeks back after I got tired of ion3) Something like this should do (it uses the source from your ubuntu repository, but it’s probably the same than in debian). Commands are untested, no guarantee that they are typo-free: apt-get source haskell-x11 cd haskell-x11-1.4.1/ dch -l hitch Local recompilation with xinerama debian/rules update-generated-files dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us sudo debi libghc6-x11-dev cd .. apt-get source xmonad cd xmonad-0.6/ dch -l hitch Local recompilation with xinerama debian/rules update-generated-files dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us sudo debi xmonad libghc6-xmonad-dev cd .. apt-get source xmonad-contrib cd xmonad-contrib-0.6/ dch -l hitch Local recompilation with xinerama debian/rules update-generated-files dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us sudo debi libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev cd .. When you install haskell-x11 (the debi step), it might remove the installed version of xmonad or ask you to do so. This is ok, as you will re-build xmonad suitable for your haskell-x11 in the next step. You can also install the -doc packages with the debi command.

Bug#469852: [xmonad] Ubuntu, Xmonad, and Xinerama
Hi, Am Dienstag, den 18.03.2008, 11:47 -0400 schrieb Chris Sanner: So color me a newbie, to xmonad, haskell, programming, etc. I was running the unofficial xmonad package for gutsy, but upgraded to hardy heron and their included versions of xmonad and associated haskell libraries (right term?) because it appeared to be more cleanly set up to modify my xmonad install. Unfortunately, when I did this my xinerama/twinview support went away. I've now got one giant expanse of screen instead of two discrete workspaces. The digging I've done on google suggested that libghc6-x11 is built without xinerama support, but i found: /usr/lib/X11-1.4.1/ghc-6.8.2/Graphics/X11/Xinerama.hi in the package. There were a lot of scripts and commands suggested to be run, but I need a few more basic pieces to the instruction before I can run those - any help would be appreciated, and I'm willing to run (and probably install) most anything to get it right. I'd *prefer* not to step too far outside the boundaries of the debs, but would be willing to do so to submit patches/bug reports upstream. Thanks for the report. I guess this problem can be traced back to the Debian package for haskell-x11. I’m not sure if Igloo, haskell-x11’s maintainer, sees a problem in Xinerama support. If not, I’m sure he will fix this in the near future. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469852 You can locally recompile and install (in that order) haskell-x11, xmonad, xmonad-contrib. If you have libxinerama-dev and x11proto-xinerama-dev (not sure which) installed while doing so, you’ll get xinerama support. If you need more detailed instructions, feel free to ask.
