[PENDING] xmonad logs out on reload during specific action

davama · 2015-03-20 13:10:48

This is a very interesting behavior. I remember this happening before and i just ignored it but it happened again.
So, basically when i run a print the volume using dzen and at that point i reload xmonad "mod-q", i get logged out of my session and sent to the login screen (lxdm). This is what i mean when i show the volume using dzen: http://dmwit.com/volume/
Also noticed this behavior when i printed the WS name using "ShowWName" Layout. At the time the WS name is showing and i reload xmonad, i get logged out.
I really dont know who to blame for this behavior or where to begin looking.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Any ideas?
Thanks

Since no one has replied it is either because no one has experienced it or i have not provided understandable info.
Regardless i have more info:

So when i cause an urgency hint:

sleep 2; echo -e "\a"

I can't just reload xmonad "mod-q" or "xmonad --restart" without first clearing the urgencyhint because my screens blackout and i go back to my lxdm screen.

Why could this be happening?

Read your journal and Xorg's log immediately after you are kicked out.

Thank you for the reply.

I looked at it and it had nothing helpfull. ~/.xsessions-error was empty.

I went to the xmonad irc and it sort of narrowed it down a bit. So here are my results:

When i evoke an urgency hint and "mod-q" that is when it crashes.
from xmonad.hs file

myUrgentHook = dzenUrgencyHook
	{ args = 
	[ "-fg", (colorLook Orange 0)
	, "-bg", (colorLook Green 1)
	, "-title-name", "UrgentDzen"
	, "-xs", "1"
	, "-fn", myFont] }
myUrgencyConfig = urgencyConfig {suppressWhen= Visible, remindWhen = (Every (minutes 1.0))}
......
main = do
.....
 xmonad $ withUrgencyHookC myUrgentHook myUrgencyConfig
 --xmonad $ withUrgencyHook myUrgentHook

I was told that the suspect is the timer for dzen. So i tested as to when it crashes:

With dzen timer on:
dzen bar showing + pplog on, then "mod-q" = crash and log out
pplog on, then "mod-q" = crash and log out

Without dzen timer:
dzen bar showing + pplog on, then "mod-q" = crash and log out
pplog on, then "mod-q" = successfull xmonad restart with urgency hint still on my pplog

Using xmonad 0.11.1

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks
Dave
