You should check your ~/.cabal/bin directory where it should have been installed.

Why should one remove xmobar ? It's great...but indeed, hesse is right, cabal has its own binary storing directory.

Thanks for your replies.I check the ~/.cabal directory but still can't figure out how to remove xmobar :S
@linux-ka I like xmobar... the real reason why i want to remove it is because i can't use xft fonts. I install it with all the extensions ("with_utf8","with_xft"...) but for some reason fonts in xmobar are still ugly.

Thanks for help.

Maybe there is something wrong with your settings. Are you sure you set xft fonts right?

Here is my xmobarrc:

Config { font = "xft:Envy Code R:size=10:antialias=true"
       , bgColor = "#151515"
       , fgColor = "#1793D1"
       , position = Top
       , lowerOnStart = True
       , commands = [ Run Cpu ["-L","3","-H","50"] 10
                    , Run Memory ["-t","Mem: <usedratio>%"] 10
                    , Run Date "%a %b %_d %Y %H:%M:%S" "date" 10
                    , Run Uptime ["-t","Up: <days>d <hours>h"] 10
                    , Run Wireless "wlan0" ["-t", "Wi-Fi: <quality>%"] 10
                    , Run Weather "LWSK" ["-t","Skopje: <tempC>C"] 3000
                    , Run Com ".xmonad/conkyscript" ["&"] "conky" 3000
                    , Run StdinReader
                    ]
       , sepChar = "%"
       , alignSep = "}{"
       , template = "%StdinReader% }{%conky% <fc=#888888>:</fc> %LWSK% <fc=#888888>:</fc> %uptime% <fc=#888888>:</fc> %cpu% <fc=#888888>:</fc> %memory% <fc=#888888>:</fc> %wlan0wi% <fc=#888888>:</fc> %date%"
       }

Something wrong here?

Do you compile like :

cabal install xmobar --flags="with_utf8 with_xft with_inotify"

? If you wannt to remove it, just remove the binary.

my xmobar font line looks like:

font = "xft:Sans-7:bold"

Have a look, whether this more simple line works well.

EDIT:

your font style looks on my machine as ugly as it does on your screenshot.

I download tar.gz file and compile like this:

tar xvfz xmobar-0.14
cd xmobar-0.14
runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --flags="all_extensions"
runhaskell Setup.lhs build
runhaskell Setup.lhs install

I follow the instructions on xmobar site.

I replace my font line with yours (font = "xft:Sans-7:bold" ) but font is still the same.(ugly like on screenshot)
I have no idea why...

have you tried to compile via cabal. maybe you are using the wrong xmobar binary. I do not know where this manual install process copies your binary.

grobar87 · 2012-02-15 17:49:40

Solved! I remove xmobar from /usr/local/bin and than install with "pacman -S xmobar". Now xft fonts works great.
Thanks to all for help.

linux-ka · 2012-02-15 18:43:39

/usr/local/bin is not the install directory for cabal.

maybe you should simply try the install process I have posted above. add $HOME/.cabal/bin to your $PATH and Bob'S your uncle.
