My StumpWM Config

StumpWM vs Gnome
StumpWM is a tiling, keyboard-driven (100% mouse-less) Linux Window Manager, written entirely in Common Lisp. It is the successor of
ratpoison.
Each window is the same size: the real entirety of the screen. There are no
window borders, no title bars, no minimize buttons, none of the clutter
that's needed by a mouse (remember, that's the device used for pointing at
the xterm you want to type in) — just some easy to remember key bindings
(that you can customize to your own taste!) prefixed by a default key.
And using the keyboard (almost) exclusively is, without a doubt,
considerably faster than having to frequently reach the mouse: your mouse is
useful for graphical stuff (like gimp and xfig) but, for most stuff, it
is useless and counterproductive.
The combination of StumpWM, Emacs and mouseless browsing with Firefox is great. I learned to love it after having tested it! And once you've used it, you can't go back anymore… Maybe it's time for you to use it as well…
How to download and install StumpWM Ubuntu
The easiest route would be:
sudo aptitude install clisp sudo aptitude install stumpwm
The following description applies only if you want to install a more recent version of it.
Prerequisites
sudo aptitude install git-core sudo aptitude install autoconf sudo aptitude install build-essential sudo aptitude install texinfo
Installing Common Lisp
You should first decide which Common Lisp (from now on, CL) implementation you want to use:
and then install the version packaged with Ubuntu or their latest release. I would recommend using the latest versions because earlier issues have been resolved.
My advice is to use SBCL (with cl-clx-sbcl, as you definitely need to
install CLX support before building StumpWM).
SBCL with CLX
Normally, you could just do:
sudo aptitude install sbcl sbcl-doc sudo aptitude install cl-clx-sbcl sudo aptitude install cl-ppcre
To install CLX, start sudo sbcl and use asdf-install to download and
install Lisp packages:
(require 'asdf) (require 'asdf-install) (asdf-install:install 'clx) (asdf-install:install 'cl-ppcre)
When prompted "GPG warns that the key id […] is not fully trusted", choose "[SKIP-GPG-CHECK] Don't check GPG signature for this package".
(quit)
CLisp
Get CLisp from CVS:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@clisp.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/clisp login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@clisp.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/clisp co -d clisp-cvs -P clisp
or download the latest stable release of CLisp (2.48, as of 2009-07-28).
Switch to the directory you want your CLisp directory to be downloaded
into (/usr/local/src, meant for source files that you downloaded
yourself) and type:
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/latest/clisp-2.48.tar.gz
tar -xvzf clisp-2.48.tar.gz
cd clisp-2.48
Install a few libraries on which CLISP relies:
- GNU libsigsegv
- Library for handling page faults in a portable way
- GNU libffcall
- Foreign Function Call Libraries
- Install libffcall
mkdir tools; cd tools wget http://www.haible.de/bruno/gnu/ffcall-1.10.tar.gz tar xfz ffcall-1.10.tar.gz cd ffcall-1.10 ./configure make make check sudo make install cd ../..
- Install libsigsegv
cd tools; prefix=`pwd`/i686-pc-linux-gnu wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libsigsegv/libsigsegv-2.6.tar.gz tar xfz libsigsegv-2.6.tar.gz cd libsigsegv-2.6 ./configure --prefix=${prefix} && make && make check && make install cd ../.. rm -f src/config.cache
Install the XLIB development libraries
They're just packages you have to install. On Ubuntu, you can install
xorg-dev and get what you need.
sudo aptitude install xorg-dev
Also, you have to make sure CLisp is compiled with new-clx support
(mit-clx is not supported).
Otherwise, you'll get the error "there is no package with name `XLIB'" when building StumpWM.
# cd tools; prefix=`pwd`/i686-pc-linux-gnu # cd .. ./configure --with-libsigsegv-prefix=${prefix} --with-module="clx/new-clx" cd src vi config.lisp ulimit -s 16384 # increase default stack size make make check sudo make install cd ../..
Once the software has been installed, you can find further information
about using clisp with these commands:
man clisp apropos clisp which clisp locate clisp
And, finally, install CL-PPCRE from your package manager:
sudo aptitude install cl-ppcre
Other approach
The other approach is to install version 2.44.1, by typing:
sudo aptitude install clisp
Installing StumpWM
Fetch StumpWM
Get StumpWM from Git. Type:
git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/stumpwm.git
Configure StumpWM
Now cd to your stumpwm dir and type autoconf to get an executable
configure script:
cd stumpwm
autoconf
Build StumpWM
Then type (as normal user):
-
If you're building with CLisp:
./configure --with-lisp=clisp --with-ppcre=/usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-ppcre sudo make make #! this one succeeds (after a first failure)
-
If you're building with SBCL:
./configure make
Install StumpWM
Copy the compiled binary in your PATH somewhere (e.g.
/usr/local/bin) by typing:
sudo install <full-path-to-stumpwm>/stumpwm /usr/local/bin/
sudo cp <full-path-to-stumpwm>/contrib/stumpish /usr/local/bin/
Debugging
clisp -K full -x "(load \"asdf.lisp\") (load \"stumpwm.asd\") (load \"/usr/share/common-lisp/systems/cl-ppcre.asd\") (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :stumpwm) (stumpwm::stumpwm)"
You can run these expressions in the repl. Maybe then you'll get the debugger. The goal is to get a backtrace for the error.
Installing StumpWM as the default window manager
Add a new entry to GDM Sessions menu, so that we can easily switch between StumpWM and Gnome.
To do so, copy any of the *.desktop files in /usr/share/xsessions to
/usr/share/xsessions/stumpwm.desktop and edit it to look like this:
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=StumpWM Comment=This session logs you into StumpWM (a minimalistic window manager) Exec=/usr/local/bin/stumpwm Icon= Type=Application
Making StumpWM the default session will update your .dmrc file:
[Desktop]
Session=stumpwm
Logging out of StumpWM can take you to Gnome, and conversely, by choosing the appropriate session.
StumpWM manual
How to get Network Manager working with StumpWM
StumpWM does not have a system tray. And Network Manager needs one to be controlled. So, you need to install one. No further discussion.
I use stalonetray (instead of gnome-panel) which works great.
Currently, the system tray is put in the middle of the screen. It is not docked to the bottom of the screen, and it is overlapped by other windows, but that's not a real problem — to the contrary, in fact, as I save some space for the other windows.
How to change keyboard language in StumpWM
To switch to another keyboard layout without restarting the X server, the
easy answer is to use setxkbmap (for example, setxkbmap fr or
setxkbmap us).
You can bind the two layout switching commands in your .stumpwmrc.
That's what I've done with the Caps Lock key.
And to get a visual feedback of the current layout, I use a program called numlockx that turn on the Num Lock led — what has no negative side effect. The led is off in the default keyboard layout, on for the other one.
How to get new mail notification with StumpWM
For the email notification, a powerful customization is to set the email alert as being a blinking led of the keyboard.
I use mail-notification and the command xset led 3 to turn on the
Scroll Lock led when new mail arrives. When all mail has been read, the
led is turned off with xset -led 3.
For a blinking led, use blink -s -r 1 and blink to turn the led on and
off… but I've found this to interact badly with my Caps Lock: the status
of the Caps Lock led is changed whenever the Scroll Lock led blinks…
How to get Impressive working fine
-
Try it with fullscreen mode disabled (option
-f) -
Try
-g 1280x1024(or whatever your resolution is) for black margins
Fonts
You could add to your X defaults a setting like this:
Xft.dpi: 96
or a value closer to your display's resolution. It might also help to run your X server with your display's resolution. Some X servers evaluate the contents of a ~/.xserverrc file.
Print Screen
Monitor
A handy little application is the xosview client, which provides load, CPU, memory and swap usage, disk I/O usage and activity, page swapping information, network activity, I/O activity, I/O rates, serial port status, and if APM is enabled, the battery level (such as for a laptop).
Automount
Un environnement de bureau comme Gnome ou KDE fait aussi tourner ds tas de démons pour genre auto-monter les CD ou clés USB, et faire des tas de trucs.
