Tint2 Help

probably your boot codes;

someone wrote:

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is a standard for handling power management. Older systems may not support ACPI full, so sometimes it helps to give the kernel a hint to not use it. "acpi=off"
APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) is a kind of feature found on newer systems. The "local" version is called "LAPIC". What this controller can do is be set up to generate and handle interrupts, a signal the hardware uses to pass messages. Again, some implementations of APIC can have problems on older system, and so it is useful to disable it. "noapic" and "nolapic".

ie the battery can't talk to the kernel.

does your conky give battery details?

and this seem to indicate it.... maybe try aptgetting acpi (it's tiny) and see if you get something?

Good luck

No battery details in Conky either.

If I apt get acpi wont it screw up my system again so I can't log in and get a blank screen ?

Is there a another way to view my battery levels?

wuxmedia · 2012-06-26 10:46:52

shouldn't do, it just asks the system, "whats the temp/charge stats?"
worse case -should only- be that it won't output anything. "dunno, acpi is disabled, it's blanking me"

bit of a long shot there.

as for your levels;
if the battery can't talk to the kernel, then it won't be able to display any info about the battery. sad
i would try disabling acpi and seeing what happens to my lappy, last time i tried the resolution went horrible and i rebooted real quick (as it didn't solve a different prob i was having)

has it a hardware indicator? like the G3 Macs used to have?

Good Luck

Yeah, although I'm not 100% sure, I'm starting to lean towards acpi being the issue here.

What's the result of:

acpi -V

As far as my knowledge goes, it seems you're outta luck with this one. Perhaps someone else knows a workaround for this but I think it's safe to say that you won't be seeing that little battery icon in tint2 anytime soon.

Boohoo.

Thank you for trying to help. Who is that wuss?

Hello, is it possible to add a "show desktop" type of launcher in tint2?

Does this help: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … -in-tint2/

I found it by searching on "tint2 show desktop" in the search box at the upper right corner of your screen.

Trebor · 2012-06-26 21:15:22

Yes it did! Thanks, didn't actually noticed the search box. Thanks!

pidsley · 2012-06-26 21:18:53

You're welcome -- there's actually quite a lot of stuff that's already been covered here, and the search box seems to work better than on many other forums.

elvaqueroloco · 2012-06-28 02:40:14

Is there a way to move open programs between desktops via middle-click without an active tint2 panel present?

If I have my browser in one desktop, and I have a terminal in desktop 2, for example, I know I can click, hold, and drag one item to another desktop in tint2. However, this does not seem possible via the middle-click method.

pidsley · 2012-06-28 02:46:27

Not a fix with middle-click, but there are bound keys for this in rc.xml (no tint2 required):

<keybind key="S-A-Left">
  <action name="SendToDesktopLeft">
    <dialog>no</dialog>
    <wrap>no</wrap>
  </action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="S-A-Right">
  <action name="SendToDesktopRight">
    <dialog>no</dialog>
    <wrap>no</wrap>
  </action>
</keybind>

Is it possible to configure the Tint2 panel so it stays on the bottom layer but come to the top (above windows" when the cursor is moved to the edge of the screen? Similiar to auto-hiding but without hiding the panel.

Haamu · 2012-08-31 01:05:18

So, this is a bit of a question or request. I'm looking to customize tint2 to display all of the desktops on the far left, and only to show the windows on those desktops once I open that desktop. Awesome does this, but I dislike tiling windows managers, so I prefer Openbox. If I explained it poorly, please tell me so I can include a screenshot and an edited image of what I'm asking for.

Hey fellas. I have dual monitors, and the date and time shows up on both screens. Is there a way to make it so it only shows up on the screen with the system tray (which is currently the screen on the left)?

I have already tried multi-monitor mode, which just does something funky with my taskbar items and nothing else.

Here is my current layout in case you're curious:

bozhkov · 2012-10-02 21:48:01

I've read somewhere around the forum for a script that combines launchers and tasks, along with click to start/minimize/maximise, but I can't find it. Does anyone have an idea of what I'm talking about - I wanted to test if I can have a unity launcher-like panel, as I actually quite like the idea. smile

^ The How To is in my sig line.

dgz · 2012-10-31 23:52:57

how do i violently murder the systray until i can find/create a decent set of tiny icons? i've tried commenting its section and doing 'systray = 0', but they're red herrings apparently.

^ Try removing the S from

panel_items = LTS

Can you also post smaller thumbnails of your images? There are ppl with slow or limited Internet connections that huge images cause a nightmare.

dura · 2012-11-01 00:01:48

^^ what window manager dgz?

dgz · 2012-11-01 01:35:44

I find postimage.org does a nice job and the ads are less intrusive.
