Installation conflict of two different xmonad versions.

[d2rgaming-9000]

Hi I had already installed another xmonad automated script that configured a lot of stuff. I can link the source that I installed it from if that would be relevant or helpful. The intention was to test different custom xmonad's.

I installed Axarva's/dotfiles xmonad [afterwards and prior] via the provided guide on the site, both prior and after I had post-installed the other xmonad script in question. And whenever I try to login to axarva's /dotfiles version of xmonad, it would log me in to the other xmonad environment in question. And not axarva's /dotfiles version of xmonad.

I wish there was a way to log in to axarva's /dotfiles version of xmonad, and / or remove the other xmonad in question.

I was thinking about removing or reconfiguring xmonad's conf folder to apply changes. (Not sure if that is going to work), but I will try and see if that fixes and report back.

EDIT: I'm also using gnome environment. I think it also interferes with xmoand's better lock-screen. Because I only see gnome's login screen.

Thank you.

So quick update. Here's what I tried.

-accessing the xmonad.hs and replacing the contents with the contents in /dotfiles-2.0/ xmonad.hs's. As I thought. Makes things even worse.

• 1. Uninstalled xmonad xmonad-contrib xmobar and reinstalled via install-on-arch-linux.sh. I login, and I get a blank dark blue screen.

• 1.1 I exit and type in the terminal startx I get a black screen with three random fish-shells.

• I uninstall the same files and reinstall them again via pacman -Syu xmonad xmonad-contrib,,,, terminal this time, then run the script provided. Reboot. Login. Same results.

-I run xmonad it returns an error user error (openDisplay) and XMonad is recompiling and replacing itself another XMonad process because the current process is called "xmonad" but the compiled configuration should be called "xmonad-x86_64-linux",,,,,

XMonad will use ghc because "/home..../.xmonad/build" does not exist... skipping recompile because it is not forced (e.g via --recompile), and neither xmonad.he nor and *.hs,,,, files in lib/ have been changed ,,,, /.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: executeFile: does not exist (no such file or directory).

So I just reset my arch Linux to its default configurations with https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Removing_everything_but_essential_packages. I also reinstalled some stuff from an installation medium since I removed many packages. And now when install dotfiles-2.0 with install-on-arch.sh script, and then I type startx I get a black blank screen.

UPDATE : So it turned out my problem was with xmonad.hs missing.

A summary, I reinstalled everything, and ran cp ~/dotfiles-2.0/xmonad/xmonad.hs ~/home/user/xmonad/xmonad.hs, to copy the default xmonad.hs configurations and did a test xmonad --recompile (now it is compiling using ghc successfully!), startx and I get a GUI. A black background, and a non-clickable non-functioning GUI with only terminal at the bottom being barely visible at really small pixel resl. I read somewhere that I also need to make sure to have xmonad.hi, o , and -linux's. Besides xmonad.hs after recompilation... I do not have those... Is there anything I can do to create them? Also, for the background, it turns out when I ran the script, right around the end, it was complaining of not being able to locate or find /*/*/wallpaper, and that it was not able to copy them.

So heres what it looks like now.. :/ somehow the .o .hi .,,-Linux did not appear until I recompiled it and reset the .hs again and again.. The wallpaper is a fix on its own that I did. The icons still sock and are really tiny. Almost nothing is clickable except the terminal (Ami I missing something XD) the bottom docker is not populated

[Axarva]

The bottom dock is only populated once you configure it by yourself. I’m not quite sure about what else can I help with

[d2rgaming-9000]

@Axarva Is there anyway to increase the icon size and how do I go on about configuring the dock so that its populated with stuff. :)

~~Another thing is the Super + p menu options are not operational at all. I press the shutdown looking icon, get a confirmation message. I type y , yes, Yes, Y nothing works to trigger the event. ~~

I guess that's a different question and a different issue from what this original issue was - guess I'll close this one after all.

[d2rgaming-9000]

Original issue; fixed.
