RE: Missing icon in systray
I am in Archlinux updated to...today. /usr/bin/logname is installed with package coreutils.
I cannot call setup as user because my archlinux system (as in most debian systems) is not configured with a general sudo password and setup will ask for it at some time. To summarize the problems (if installed in /opt/minimserver not in home directory) 1) At first launch is not asking for configuration 2) At first launch localhost:9790 is not working 3) Launching manually as user will not show the icon in systray 4) No setup as user (asking for sudo password) or as root : "User name is not available" 5) Cannot write to /opt/minimserver/data because the directory is owned by root 6) minimserver try to update itself but since /opt/minimserver is owned by root this can't be possible. Personally I think that this option should be absolutely DISABLED AS DEFAULT. 7) minimserver never create systemd unit (also launching it as root) Some tricks I have used to solve only some of the problems: 1) launch startc in a terminal as root and write the music directory at the prompt. 2) chmod 777 /opt/minimserver/data and evenutally make a symbolic link to /home/<user>/.config/minimserver/data 3) install manually a systemd service With these tricks and my systemd service it is working but no icon on systray and so not right mouse context menu for changing configuration. This systemd service will start "startc" as user (see above) but it is not working with "startd". I have taken a look at the scripts and I see that at some time setup or update are called, but this will give an error because it is started as user (remember the problem with sudo). For some reason "startc" is working (with errors about setup) where startd it is not. Yesterday I have made a test folder with the various files in the right directory (following general rules of most linux distrubutions): 1) applications in /usr/bin 2) libraries in /usr/lib 3) license in /usr/share/licenses/minimserver/ 4) icon in /usr/share/minimserver/icons/ 5) systemd service in /usr/lib/systemd/system 5) configuration files in /home/<user>/.config/minimserver/data and I discovered that minimserver need a minimserver folder above that folders...and there is the problem that the folder data is at the same "level" of /bin and I should create a symbolic link to /home/<user>/.config/minimserver/data from that level of directory, not a good thing. So, as a daily user of minimserver, I would like a more standard package with "launching" separate from "setup" or "update" or creation of systemd or init services or whatever automatic configuration, but this is your choice... |
