Show tray icons doesn’t work

[Member anilkagi]

Hi there,

I am on a frugal install.

I am trying to get to show Clipit and Connman in the right bottom tray. I did try these following steps.

I edited the startup file by going to Control center > Session > User Desktop-session, by un-commenting the lines as below;

# Puts connman gui monitor icon on the taskbar
cmst -m &

# Uncomment to use clipboard manager
clipit &

However, still they don’t show in the tray.

The Connman used to show in the tray by default but I lost it somehow, I don’t know how and when.

What is the other way to get this done?

Thanks & Regards

It could be caused by which desktop you are using. Not on every desktop, for example not on jwm, the icons are in the tray.

Thanks @Caprea for coming.

Sorry for not furnishing the details, beforehand.

I have installed antiX-Base-19.2.1 frugal install, and using ROX-IceWM. I like ROX-IceWM.

Is this specific to ROX-IceWM? What is the remedy?

For antiX-base, connman entry in that file should be

connman-ui-gtk &

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Are you remastering/saving persistent changes after editing your startup file?

Thanks @anticapitalista, for coming.

That solved the problem of Connman, the issue of Clipit still remains.

Actually when I edited the file and logged out and logged in again, both Connman & Clipit had appeared, but after remastering and rebooting only the Connamn appeared.

Yeah I am Remastering every time I make changes to the OS.

Try adding a bit of a delay to the clipit startup.
See this example from another recent post:

you could maybe add a bit of a delay to volumicon startup.
Two methods:
A) Add delay to the general startup file. Edit ~/.desktop-session/desktop-session.conf variable STARTUP_DELAY. For example, adding an extra 1 seccond:
STARTUP_DELAY="3"
B) Add a delay inside the ~/.desktop-session/startup file only for volumeicon:
sleep 1; volumeicon &

It is just a guess. On one of my devices (that has a somewhat slow CPU) I need to add a bit of a delay for some of the startup programs.

Xecure,

I did try both options one by one, and remastered both times but that didn’t resolve the issue.

Mysteriously, now that I have edited the User-desktop-session file by adding the Connman command and un-commented the Clipit line and remastered, though when I start the system both icons don’t appear, but if I logout and login back again, both icons appear promptly. The fresh start does not show the icons, a re-login shows them, strangely.

I have a suspicion, but I am not sure; I think the Clipit icon appears and disappears again. It is very fast. Or is it just my illusion? I don’t know for sure. I feel it gets replaced by the Connman icon.

Could it be that clipit is launched twice? Make sure it isn’t also in the ~/.icewm/startup, or that it is not repeated in the ~/.desktop-session/startup
You could also check the ~/.desktop-session/log to see if there is any error (but I don’t expect much).

Xecure,

I checked.

The ~/.icewm/startup, is empty except for this line;

#!/bin/bash

The ~/.desktop-session/startup has one entry;

# Uncomment to use clipboard manager
clipit &

However, the ~/.desktop-session/log has some error reports.

Before that I would like to inform something strange I noticed earlier. I forgot to tell this before. I was trying to find the command that kick starts ‘Clipt’, to see if the command that I am using is appropriate or not. So I typed just simple ‘clipit’ in the terminal and nothing else. Strangely the ‘firejail’ kick started. Even now I checked by repeating it. I have not entered the command as ‘firejail clipit’. The plain ‘clipit’ command attempts to start Clipit in firejail and fails. I never intended to start ‘Clipit’ in fairejail. I have no intention to do so. Moreover, it reports an error. Here below is the error details.

And then there is this issue of AppArmor. Whenever I shutdown the system, I get this error, which I haven’t had the time to attend to by reporting on the forum. I tried to resolve it with some suggestions from the web, but it didn’t help. The following is the error line that appears on the screen while shutting down.

Now coming to the ~/.desktop-session/log, here it is below. It also contains the firejail error that I mentioned above.

Did you intentionally install AppArmor?
Try a websearch for that exact error message.

Strangely the ‘firejail’ kick started.

$ man firecfg
The manpage mentions a “fix” option.

Is the firejail UI “drag-n-drop” enabled? I can’t recall.
If it is, then conceivably… instead of dragging one .desktop item onto the UI to “add” it to the list of applications, a _directory_ icon got dropped onto the UI and all the .desktop items wound up being added to the list of firejail -managed applications. From reading your posts, I wonder if all the items in your “startup” directory wound up being added.

No, neither have I installed AppArmor intentionally, nor is it installed on the system. I checked in the Synaptic and saw that the following packages are not installed.

apparmor
apparmor-utils

However, the following AppArmor libraries are installed, when I installed Firejail. May be they are dependencies.

changehat AppArmor library
AppArmor Python3 utility library
AppArmor library Python3 bindings

I tried the web search for the error even earlier. There are a few links, one related to even MX itself, but they didn’t help or may be I couldn’t be helped by them.

I have not installed Firejail GUI and have not done any drag and drop exercise. All I did after installing Firejail was issuing the ‘firecfg’ command.

I have lost the plot, due to too many separate issues rolled into one topic.

speaking to this specific logged msg:
“Warning: networking feature is disabled in Firejail configuration file”
.
websearch results suggest that message indicates
“package firejail-profiles is not installed; please install it now”
(the “firejail” package only Recommends firejail-profiles, does not Depend
and it apparently contains “default” profiles which are network-disabled
for safety’s sake, as a sane default)

Understand that the antiX developers do not package, do not maintain (bugfix) firejail, nor most of the packages you might install.

Did you look here to see whether anyone else has encountered and reported a similar firejail bug?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=firejail
(I checked, found none similar. You might post a bug report there.)

or here:
https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues
(currently 220 open issue tickets. I did not skim through all of them.)

As an interim troubleshooting step, I would “apt purge firejail”, test whether the (tray icons, double instances of startup apps) problems disappear… then perhaps reinstall firejail later.
