Where's my JWM 'tray' gone? How to get it back..? [SOLVED]

[mikewalsh]

Afternoon, gang.

Got a wee poser for y'all. I've been meaning to ask this for ages, but just never quite seem to actually get around to it...

Out of all the Puppies I used to run on the old Compaq rig, Slacko 5.6.0 was my absolute fave. Ran absolutely everything, rock-solid in use, and was a marvellous "daily driver". Unfortunately - like so many of the older 5-series or earlier Puppies, in standard trim it will not boot on this new HP rig.....because of the UEFI stuff.

Older Puppies appear to search for something called "VESA BIOS extensions" during the boot sequence; at any rate, this is the point at which they always quit on me.....

--------------------------------------------

I did a mild remaster on Slacko 560. Upgraded from k3.10.5 to DPup 'Stretch's k4.1.48 - necessary, because at the time k3.10.5 was compiled, my present audio chip didn't even exist in some engineer's imagination, much less in actual silicon. No kernel can be expected to know about stuff that doesn't exist when it's built..! Also, I upgraded from glibc 2.15 to 2.20 while I was in there, so it would handle newer software.

Now; don't ask me how it's working, because I don't have a clue.....but I have a functional version of this Frankenpuppy, installed to a 2GB SD card, running in a USB card reader, and booting off its own bootloader installed to the root of the card; I always start this from the 'Advanced' boot menu. Some of its software is installed; some is portable apps from the big data partition on the new SSD, some of it runs from the 32-bit Xenial 'chroot' on sdb2. It's a right old mish-mash, but somehow it works. Only in Puppy, eh?

------------------------------------------

My query is this; quite simple, really. Somehow, I've managed to "lose" the JWM 'tray'.....and I don't know how to retrieve it; get it to show, like. The .jwmrc-tray config is there in /root, exactly as it should be, with everything that ought to be there.....only it refuses to display. It's not a huge problem; I still have the right-click desktop Menu, and plenty of my usual desktop launchers, but it wasn't till this happened that I suddenly realised just how many items I have that are designed to run from executable icons in the tray. Some have menu entries, but those are only to place the executable into the tray in the first place.

Anybody able to help Uncle Mike sort this one out, please? Any takers?

Mike.

I'll think about it a moment or two. sounds like something is missing in the config. start with /root/.jwmrc, what's it look like?

[mikewalsh]

@rockedge :-

Well, here it is.....FWIW. I can't see owt that would stop it from displaying. Can you?

Code: Select all

<JWM>
	<Tray autohide="false" insert="right" x="0" y="-1" border="1" width="0" height="28" layer="above" layout="horizontal" halign="left" valign="bottom" >

	<!--	<Swallow name="asapm">

	<!--	<Swallow name="freememapplet" width="34">

		<Swallow name="xload" width="120">xload -nolabel -bg "gray45" -update 1 &
		</Swallow>
		<Clock format="%a %d %b %H:%M">PupClockset</Clock>
	</Tray>
</JWM>

Haven't done much in the way of customization with it, yet; just got a bunch of 'launcher' icons over on the right-hand side in the notification area.....but they never show up here, for some reason I've never got to the bottom of. And Thunderbird's 'FireTray' extension is set to display there, too.

What d'you reckon? I vaguely recall I've had this happen once or twice before with other Puppies; a single back-slash, or a full stop or punctuation mark in the wrong place, and the thing just disappears. On those occasions I managed to backtrack and recover it, but I've no idea what I've gone & done here.....

Mike.

I assume you tried to do a x server restart or a complete reboot.

Compared to my .jwmrc-tray

In yours:

Code: Select all

<!-- Additional TaskList attribute: maxwidth -->
		<TaskList maxwidth="27"/>

Try changing this to:

Code: Select all

<!-- Additional TaskList attribute: maxwidth -->
		<TaskList maxwidth="200"/>

In your .jwmrc-tray:

Code: Select all

<!-- Additional Swallow attribute: height -->

Make it look like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- Additional Swallow attribute: height -->
		<Spacer width="4"/>

Add the spacer width before the other stuff.

rockedge asked about /root/.jwmrc, not .jwmrc-tray or whatever it is called.

The first thing you should do is run fixmenus; jwm -restart . If your template is still intact and only .jwmrc is corrupted, then this should fix the issue.

The file you posted should be referenced in your /root/.jwmrc within an <Include> tag. Unless it is overridden by other <Include> files it should produce the missing tray.

I tested your code. Syntax is correct and tray displays as expected.

Slightly OT: I accessed this page with Chrome browser and since your code is relatively long the code box *should* have srollbars like in Pale Moon, but it doesn't. Is that normal? I never used Chrome before.

As for Chrome not displaying scrollbars for the code-box, yes; that is perfectly normal. BTW, if you need to scroll sideways in Chrome, just hold 'Shift' down at the same time; it translates vertical movement into horizontal movement instead.

I'm glad you're 'onboard', since I know you run Slacko 5.6.0 yourself. I had thought of sending you a PM, but I thought, 'No'; if you found this thread and replied, then it's 'in fora', where everybody can see it....better all round, that way.

Mike.

[mikewalsh]

Hmm. Curious.

I ran 'fixmenus'. Then 'jwm-restart', annnd.....

Code: Select all

# jwm-restart: command not found

Huh????

Mike.

[TerryH]

Hmm. Curious.

Code: Select all

# jwm-restart: command not found

Huh????

Mike.

The command is jwm, there's a space before the -restart.

[rockedge]

Right !! The space(s) before the option switch is needed!

Code: Select all

jwm  -start
jwm  -reload
jwm  -restart

the road begins with /root/.jwmrc which will contain an include statement to load the next part of the configuration. These lead to the next configurations which themselves contain more include statements. Follow the road to the jwm-tray config!

Code: Select all

<Include>/root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme</Include>
<Include>/root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal</Include>

For example in KLV-Boxer, the jwm configuration is 'monolithic' or all the configuration is in one file. ~/.jwmrc
Puppy Linux to add many more customization features which should be easy to use, is equipped with more configurations set in seperate files. Like in /root/.jwm which in turn are accessed by scripts and GUI's

[mikewalsh]

Yah, quite right, Terry! It's a while since I've run that manually, and my brain hurts today...

After running

Code: Select all

fixmenus
jwm -restart

.....something flashes up, but very, very fast.....and then it's gone again. So I'm not sure where to go from here.

@rockedge :-

So; why does ~/.jwmrc NOT have an "<include>" tag for .jwmrc-tray? From what y'all are saying, it should have one. So why's it not there?

Me confused. Brain hurts even more..... (*ouch*) JWM always has this effect on me; I hate .xml markup language!

Mike.

[rockedge]

@mikewalsh Just to check....is the screen resolution correct?
I just had the experiance that in a QEMU machine the tray gets pushed below the visible edge. This is most likely not the problem but another check off the list.

[HerrBert]

So; why does ~/.jwmrc NOT have an "<include>" tag for .jwmrc-tray? From what y'all are saying, it should have one. So why's it not there?

The <Include> tag is between <Group> settings and Visual Styles...

Code: Select all

</Group>

<!-- Additional tray attributes: autohide, width, border, layer, layout -->
<!-- Tray definition moved to separate file: .jwmrc-tray -->
<Include>/root/.jwmrc-tray</Include>

<!-- Visual Styles -->

jwm -p parses the configuration files and should report if it's a configuration error...

[MochiMoppel]

@mikewalsh Too much tinkering, your .jwmrc is wrong. Open it and find

<Program label="Xsoldier space war" icon="xsoldier.xpm">xsoldier</Program>
</Menu>

<Separator/>

<Program label="AudioCardQuickSelect" icon="/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/audiorecord.png">exec /usr/local/bin/audiocardchooser</Program>

<Program label="LEAVE..." icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/shutdown48.png">exec /usr/sbin/logout_gui</Program>

</Menu>

</RootMenu>

Remove the orphaned red </Menu> tag (a corresponding opening tag <Menu> is missing!), save the file and then run jwm -restart. The tray will appear as you expect it. If it does, you'll have to make the same change in /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc. To be sure that this went smoothly, run - you guessed it - fixmenus; jwm -restart

You're welcome!

[mikewalsh]

@rockedge :-

No, it's not a wrong resolution, or anything similar.....though the suggestion IS well-taken. Mochi has hit it on the head, as usual.....he's a whizz with this JWM stuff, and I've obtained several 'fixes' for desktop issues simply by reading his posts over the years. (And just when I think I'm getting the hang of XML markup, another 'twist' appears; Mochi always seems to have the answer for it, though.)

----------------------------------------------

@bigpup :-

There's a very good reason why my 'Tasklist' entry code has a much smaller value than yours. My tasklist entries are 'iconified'.....I only have the icon for each process showing, and have cut all the text out. Because I run various different custom font sizes in different Puppies, this value can - and does - vary anywhere between 26 and 31 as a rule, depending on the height I have the tray set to.

I don't like all that text showing. Makes the tray look untidy when you get several windows open.....

---------------------------------------------

@MochiMoppel :-

My proof-reading skills are obviously rubbish compared to yours..! I read through that several times, and still didn't spot it.....but you're quite right. That orphan "</Menu>" WAS gumming up the works.

I've developed my own audio quick-card changer script - which doesn't need a re-boot for it to read different config files, etc - and I like to add a MenuEntry for this, separated into its own category, down near the bottom. Has to be added manually, though, because it's not something radky's JWMDesk - which I use in almost all Puppies - is designed to do. Looks like I left the extra "</Menu>" item in-situ by mistake; I get mesmerised by all those 'open' & 'close' tags after a while.

Thank you, dear boy; you're really very good with this JWM 'detective' work. That is much appreciated, because this has been bugging me for some weeks now. Cheers!

(As you say.....too much 'tinkering'!)

Mike.
