I wanted to use XMonad on Kubuntu. Therefore, I installed the packages given on the XMonad website (xmonad, libghc-xmonad-dev, libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev). When I try to use XMonad as a window manager (login screen), nothing happens as I click the login button (really nothing, so I just see the login screen with a cross-like cursor). I uninstalled the apt-packages and tried to use stack. However, whenever I use stack install xmonad-contrib (and stack install xmonad now... it worked once), I get an error message: X11-xft-0.3.1: canonicalizePath: does not exist (No such file or directory).

I suppose the XMonad from packages should work well. It indeed shows you an empty screen on startup. I suppose you followed [the guided tour](http://xmonad.org/tour.html). – 9000 Dec 03 '15 at 19:25

Is this really a programming question about Haskell? – user253751 Dec 03 '15 at 22:04

OK, XMonad did actually start. I was just very disappointed by the fact that I saw the login screen.
