autostart menu / tint2 [ SOLVED ]

Gordon · 2012-07-24 07:07:27

Hi Folks

I have caused myself another problem. I have been playing around with tint2 which works fine I think, at least it start up doing what i want. The thing is that the clipboard and volune nolonger appear in the system tray. I altered the autostart menu to be the same as pidsley suggested which then let tint2 start ok but now clipboard and volume control don't show up, any ideas why ? I have not changed anything else honest smile

1. Is there still any icon in you're tint2rc? If not, it might be possible, the systray is deactivated in you're actual tint2rc. It's hard to say and comes out of the blue if you don't paste you're tint2rc & openbox-autostart

2. The order of starting things, the timing .... sometimes doesn't let start things in Openbox. Found that out on myself in the last two days.

3. volumeicon has a bug, when the slider is at 100% (I reported that already upstream to Debian), that can let it crash on start or when you click twice on the symbol, so it's possible, volumeicon never starts up ... but because parcellite is missing ...

4. If you would like to try the original config settings - but didn't save them for yourself, they are in the folder /etc/skel. From there, on setting up a new folder, Crunchbang copies all the files to the home folder of a newly created user.

Hi skbierm,

Thanks for the reply.

The system tray is active as the icon for wired network is there. I had a look at /etc/skel and the doesn't apper to anythig different to me other than the block command for nitroge etc in the autostart menu, anyway here are my autostqart and tint2 files

## Openbox autostart.sh
## ====================
## When you login to your CrunchBang Openbox session, this autostart script 
## will be executed to set-up your environment and launch any applications
## you want to run at startup.
##
## Note*: some programs, such as 'nm-applet' are run via XDG autostart.
## Run '/usr/lib/openbox/openbox-xdg-autostart --list' to list any
## XDG autostarted programs.

## Have fun! :)

Hi Folks

Been messing with autostart again and it seems that just commenting out the group command for nitrogen etc does not work you have to delete it. I have just done that and now my clipboard manager is shown in the system tray again so all I have to do now is get the volume icon to appear in the tray so back to playing around again smile

EDIT to correct typo's

Hi Folks,

Sucess They all now come up upon reboot and initial startup. It seem that volumeicon really does need a long sleep indeed. I have got it to work on 100% with a sleep time of 15 seconds, thanks to skbierm for his post gave me the pointer.

Again thanks skbierm all's well now smile :)
