  • Onboard not showing up in the XFCE system tray

    From Charles Curley@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 16 22:20:01 2024
    Onboard is not showing up in the XFCE system tray. Bookworm as updated.
    I don't see any Debian bug reports or questions on the home page. I
    believe I am not running Wayland.

    Has anyone else seen this? Fix/Workaround?

    Start it manually (and after the start it remains in the system tray)

    Tried that.

    charles@tsalmoth:~$ onboard &
    [1] 43869
    charles@tsalmoth:~$
    [1]+ Done onboard
    charles@tsalmoth:~$

    I did not see anything in the notifications tray.

    The exit occurred when I hit the "Hide Onboard" key (upper right corner
    on the compact layout).

    Thanks for the idea.

    Got a bit further. While knurdling around after replying to Geert
    Stappers <stappers@stappers.nl>, I did the following:

    charles@tsalmoth:~$ ps aux | grep onbo
    charles 2913 0.0 0.9 545852 36740 ? Sl May12 0:26 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/onboard --not-show-in=GNOME,GNOME-Classic:GNOME --startup-delay=3.0
    charles 44066 0.0 0.0 6332 2048 pts/8 S+ 18:58 0:00 grep --colour=auto onbo
    charles@tsalmoth:~$

    I couldn't find that in any of the terminal windows I started onboard
    from in previous experiments. The low process ID and date suggest that
    that was the instance started at login. (Also, the command line shown
    is the same one in the Sessions and Startup applet's Application
    Autostart tab.) So I killed it.

    charles@tsalmoth:~$ kill 2913
    charles@tsalmoth:~$ ps aux | grep onbo
    charles 44071 0.0 0.0 6332 2048 pts/8 S+ 18:58 0:00 grep --colour=auto onbo
    charles@tsalmoth:~$

    I then fired it up from a terminal, and got both the keyboard and
    notification tray icon. The "Hide Onboard" key (upper right corner
    on the compact layout) now works to hide the keyboard, with the icon
    remaining.

    I conjecture that the original instance, having failed to get its icon
    into the tray, also prevented later instances from doing so.
