Prior to this change, the `config` option (which allows you define the
haskell configuration for xmonad in your configuration.nix instead of
needing something in the home directory) prevents desktop manager
resources from starting. This can be demonstrated by configuring the
following:
```
services.xserver = {
displayManager.defaultSession = "xfce+xmonad";
displayManager.lightdm.enable = true;
desktopManager.xterm.enable = false;
desktopManager.xfce.enable = true;
desktopManager.xfce.enableXfwm = false;
desktopManager.xfce.noDesktop = true;
windowManager.xmonad = {
enable = true;
enableContribAndExtras = true;
extraPackages = haskellPackages: [
haskellPackages.xmonad-contrib
haskellPackages.xmonad-extras
haskellPackages.xmonad
];
config = ''
import XMonad
import XMonad.Config.Xfce
main = xmonad xfceConfig
{ terminal = "terminator"
, modMask = mod4Mask }
'';
};
};
```
and after user log in, search for xfce processes `ps aux | grep xfce`.
You will not find xfce processes running until after the xmonad process is killed.
The bug prevents utilities included with the desktopManager,
(e.g. powerManagement, session logout, etc.)
from working as expected.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
Now the default way to define NixOS window manager modules is to use
mkEnableOption to describe the module itself.
In this commit, all files on nixos/modules/services/x11/window-managers
are changed.
PR #1366
The previous windowManager.xmonad option only starts xmonad and
doesn't make ghc available. This assumes that the user has GHC with
access to the xmonad package in his PATH when using xmonad.
Xmonad in Nix is now patched to accept the XMONAD_{GHC,XMESSAGE}
environment variables which define the path to either ghc or xmessage.
These are set automatically when using xmonad through
windowManager.xmonad.
My (or specific: @aristidb and my) changes make it possible to use
Xmonad without adding GHC to any profile. This is useful if you want
to add a different GHC to your profile.
This commit introduces some options:
- xmonad.haskellPackages: Controls which Haskell package set & GHC set
is used to (re)build Xmonad
- xmonad.extraPackages: Function returning a list of additional
packages to make available to GHC when rebuilding Xmonad
- xmonad.enableContribExtras: Boolean option to build xmonadContrib
and xmonadExtras.
