[SOLVED] Help with Tint2 shortcuts

Temetka · 2015-10-31 15:55:03

So, I added 2 items to my Tint2 "shortcuts" list. With the default BL tint2_bottom config there were 4 icons. I added 2 more. 1 for Pithos and 1 for Sublime Text. When I added Pithos and restarted, I had and issue, but got that fixed in another thread. This time after adding Sublime text and restarting - sublime showed up, but I lost my file manager icon. I have no idea why. Here is my Tint2 config:

I'm not big on tint2 (sorry), but could it be a space issue, meaning the file manager is getting hidden by the taskbar? Throwing the idea out there for the tint2 gurus...

I also thought of that, but I don't see a width setting, except for the overall panel width. Maybe try setting a background id? ATM there is

launcher_background_id = 0

I'm pretty sure the backgrounds are counted from zero so that's the first background definition block in the list.

Is there a simple limit to the number of launchers?

Can you add more than three of any type?

I never use the launchers so I'm not sure.

Does /usr/share/applications/bl-file-manager.desktop still exist?

Temetka · 2015-10-31 17:23:13

Yes, /usr/share/applications/bl-file-manager.desktop still exists.

At the moment I am reading over the excellent documentation found here:

https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/wikis/Configure

But I haven't seen anything that would limit the amount of launchers I can have.

gako · 2015-10-31 17:27:23

Your tint2 configuration is fine and all 5 of my icons work. The problem must be with your desktop files or something else weird. I suspect sublime text.

---edit---
Have you tried poitning to Thunar.desktop or exo-file-manager.desktop instead?
Maybe corner in the problem just to troubleshoot.

Temetka · 2015-10-31 19:09:57

What makes you suspect sublime text?

I changed it Thunar.desktop and I have a file manager launcher now.

Lost Pithos, sublime is still there. While I could remove Pithos and call it a day - i'd like to actually find out what is causing this issue.

Perhaps it's has something to do with the method I used to install sublime as listed in this thread:

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=447

Weirdness.

I have this working by installing sublime-text-2.0.2-1 (Trusty) from the WebUpd8 PPA as I recommended here, as this creates a deb file, which is "the Debian way". The whole process took under 20 minutes, though it will take you longer if it's your first time building a deb, and quite a bit longer if you have to install the development tools first. However, this is what I (and I think the whole BL team) will recommend is the correct way.

First, remove your current Sublime installation. You said you used these instructions...
http://www.technoreply.com/how-to-insta … -04-unity/

There was no 'sudo make install' step, you just copy the folder to /opt, make a symlink and create a desktop file? Then just undo/delete all of that.

Use the Create a Deb from a PPA tutorial, you can omit adding the deb-src line to your sources.list since there are no other dependencies needed from the WebUpd8 PPA. As I said, I used the Trusty version, here's the dget command for the dsc file for your convenience...

dget -x -u https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/sublime-text-2/+files/sublime-text_2.0.2-1%7Ewebupd8%7E3.dsc

Once you've installed the Sublime deb, use the tint2 config you posted in the OP, except change the sublime line to...

launcher_item_app = /usr/share/applications/sublime-text-2.desktop

Done.

Pro Tip: as johnraff said, Thunar displays .desktop files by their "name". To find the actual file name, open the .desktop file with a text editor (right-click>Open with...) and use File>Save as... or Ctrl+Shift+A (in most text editors) to see the actual file name.

As always, pic or it didn't happen...

gako · 2015-10-31 19:44:54

Hard to tell Temetka.

Maybe Point to bl-text-editor if you have it set.

Or try omitting
launcher_icon_theme = Faenza-Dark-Bunsen
In your tint2rc and see what that does. Or even changing it to something else.

This sometimes has a positive affect for me when setting custom icons.

What Icon is set in:
pithos*.desktop
sublime*.desktop
bl-text-editor.desktop

hhh · 2015-10-31 19:45:19

^Haha, Ninja'd!

-edit- I doubt johnraff has included Sublime as an option for bl-text-editor.

gako · 2015-10-31 19:46:55

^haha too slow

You're in good hands now =P

hhh · 2015-10-31 19:48:00

Sublime's a GTK3 app? *shivers*

hhh · 2015-10-31 19:55:21

@Temetka, post back if you have problems building the deb. If you want to remove it, it gets installed as sublime-text, so the build-deps removal command will be...

sudo apt-get purge sublime-text-build-deps && sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

Temetka · 2015-10-31 20:06:30

Ok, I removed my install as per your instructions.

Sorry for being so dense on something as simple as an app install, but...

I don't have the dget command. Meaning when I copied your dget command into my terminal and it sayeth unto me:

command not found

So I tried a sudo apt-get install dget. Not found.

I found a GUI dget here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dget/

I'll try that and report back.

I just tried it like HoaS did - untar the archive and copy the directory contents into /usr/local/bin. Seems to work...

Search Debian packages (link in the BL Help menu) if you want to find which package something comes with. In this case it is `devscripts`

hhh · 2015-10-31 20:15:14

^Right, I said you might need to install the development tools. It's in the first part of the tutorial...

sudo apt-get install packaging-dev debian-keyring devscripts equivs

Temetka · 2015-10-31 20:16:10

Ah. When I installed BL and ran it through the welcome script, I chose not to install dev tools.

/facepalm

Oh and the GUI version I tried fails during make. Back to CLI.

hhh · 2015-10-31 20:16:58

No facepalm, just see my Ninja post and follow all the steps in the tutorial.

Temetka · 2015-10-31 20:22:06

I am a smart person. I do sysadmin work for many clients. WTF am I missing here. I got dget to run using this command as posted earlier:

dget -x -u https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/sublime-text-2/+files/sublime-text_2.0.2-1%7Ewebupd8%7E3.dsc

I get these 2 files:

sublime-text-2.0.2
sublime-text_2.0.2-1%7Ewebupd8%7E3.dsc

Maybe I have eyes but am not seeing. Where is the .deb file?
