[SOLVED] tint2 and fbxkb

HLF · 2018-02-28 13:54:05

Hey,

Im here again with another issue.

By any chance, do you know what to do if I want icon like "us" or flag or something from fbxkb in my systemtray of tint2? I have clipboard manager, network manager, sound and time. And between clipboard manager and network manager is a gap and sometimes its a black square, dont know why and what it is.

Thanks.

The US flag should be supplied by /usr/share/fbxkb/images/us.png — do you have that file?

Try killing fbxkb then start it again from a terminal to see if there are any error messages:

pkill fbxkb
fbxkb

Entering the error messages into a search engine is usually productive

I tried it and now instead of black square there is a white square. I think Im going to try default tint2 conf file to check if theres anything wrong with mine.

This is what it looks like.

Try making the panel (tint2) a little taller, perhaps the icon can't fit in that space.

Ok with default config, it looks like this. So fbxkb doesnt know what flag should use I guess.

Do any of the flags work?

I tried - setxkbmap us, de, cz etc. and always no flag..

is using xxkb instead of fbxkb an otpion?

i have this in my openbox autostart:

# Keyboard
setxkbmap -option lv3:ralt_switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle it,ru,gb,de & # Italy
xxkb &

and xpm files (it.xpm, ru.xpm, uk.xpm, de.xpm) within the /home/user/.xxkb/

I am not using this setup anymore, so I cannot vouch for its reliability but it might be worth a try...

hope this helps

With xxkb it was the same case. But I make it work by upgrading fbxkb package to a newer version by downloading it somewhere from the internet. Kind of risky maybe, but it works now.

Depends what you mean by "downloading" it — foreign sources can cause problems.

There is a patch for the jessie version in this bug report:

Use `apt-get source fbxkb` to get the code:
