AWN Applet not work

[Jose Manuel Perdomo]

Unfortunately the AWN applet not working properly, sometime icon not appears and in others appear too small (not all, only one icon).

My system Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 (updgrade from 12.04), Gnome-shell 3.6.1 and AWN 0.4.1

Can you check if there are any errors in ~/.dockbarx/log/dockbarx.log?

[Jose Manuel Perdomo (joz3)]

I do completely uninstall the Dockbarx (including I deleted the directory), reinstall again and run the awn applet and the directory not exist, but if I run the standalone Dockbar generates a directory and file and this is the content:

I confirm that this fix resolves the bug in the AWN applet.

Thank you!

[Nemes Ioan Sorin (nemes-sorin)]

this bug is still present today 16 Nov. 2012

I use AWN 0.4.1

my awn dockbarx applet was ok until today when I've upgraded dockbarx to version 0.90.3-1
now dockbarx dissapear from AWN

since from many years I use AWN + Dockbarx
this really broke my workflow

what I can do to get back awn-dockbarx ?
can I revert to the old awn-dockbarx in some way ?

[Nemes Ioan Sorin (nemes-sorin)]

Update - my previous version of AWN DockbarX was 0.48
but today upgrade jumped version to 0.90.3-1

[Nemes Ioan Sorin (nemes-sorin)]

Update 2

after today upgrade of DockbarX from 0.48 to 0.90.3-1 (Precise ..since I use Linux MInt with Precise repositories )

DockbarX standalone stopped working

the comand line :

sorin@sorin-sys ~ $ dockx
DockbarX 0.90.3
DockbarX init

** (dockx:26779): WARNING **: Binding '<super>Tab' failed!

maybe this will help in some way ..

Update 3

the breackage is big - only docx-mate from version 0.90.3-1 will work with Linux MInt Mate
but this is not a satisfactory case .. I use AWN as panel

therefore 0.90.3 is a big break which will
divide linux users into classes - Gnome Shell and Unity = class 1 citizens
Mate users (a quite big number) = class 2 citizens

..now the question is why we have to pay such a price for having the desktop of choice
..today breackage bring down my workflow ..as I've used for many years
..it's clear that a fix will not be today

now I have to install a lot of software on Windows 7 to move my workflow there
this change ia real hurt and a real pain now ..

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

@Sorin: the AWN bug was fixed in bzr, but it's not yet available in the PPA. Until then, install this updated version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1113424/awn-applet-dockbarx_0.90.3-2%7Eppa%7Equantal_all.deb

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

I've added a patch from bzr to the DockBarX 0.90.3 package in the PPA, so you don't have to wait for a new release to get it to work with AWN. So this should be fixed in the latest PPA packages.

[Nemes Ioan Sorin (nemes-sorin)]

thanks for solution ...but is not working for me ..

I have cleared all awn and dockbarx folders
then I've reinstalled awn and dockbarx

dockbarx standalone is working well
awn applet is not working but also is not trowing any error (at least no error logs...)

trying to start the applet from CLI I got this :

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

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

The question is
what I can do in this situation ? ( or if not easy to fix ...where I can find old dockbarx [0.48] ? this was the last workable version for me )

Thanks for the whole dockx effort - and - thanks in advance for a good advice..

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

@Nemes Ioan Sorin: I've tested it on a Linux Mint 13 Live CD and it works just fine as you can see here: http://i.imgur.com/YRgCA.png soo it's something on your system that broke it...

More than that, there's nothing I can do, but maybe Matias can help debug it...

Update 4

apt-line commented
removed all dockx traces with synaptic
installed version 0.48 using setup.py

..getting errors over errors

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

...thinking - why I have 0.48 but numbers on my screen looks like 0.9.x ? , then searcing on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
I found the reason

Conclusion (..may help debugging process ) :

after all synaptic uninstall procedures dockbarx folder and related egg-info file on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages ...they are not deleted

..my new files (0.48) were copied along old (0.9.x) files and old files were recalled anytime I use dockx command - so all went bad

Because synaptic uninstall will remove files on /usr/bin and /usr/share ....

[Nemes Ioan Sorin (nemes-sorin)]

with the last patched dockbarx 0.90.3-2 the bug is still present
this time I've cleared all dockbarx traces before the new install
this is what I get
