[SOLVED] Update broke tint2-svn

The transparency on my tint2-svn icons has been broken with a recent update. Here are the packages that were updated before the breakage:

I'm personally suspecting it has something to do with gtk3 or maybe gnome-desktop. The rest of the taskbar is fine and I haven't encountered other issues. I'm currently using Gnome icon pack, so the Adwaita update didn't do anything. I tested different icons for the tray, all of them had the same problem. Is anyone else experiencing this with tint2-svn? Should I try reverting packages or will that make things even messier in the long run?

Did you rebuild tint2-svn?

Ugh, both the AUR packages (the original tint2-svn and its fork tint2-git) won't build. I'll answer when I get either one to work.

Yes, slight code changes have broken the patches. You could hand patch the clock files and remove those patches from the PKGBUILD (or wait until the maintainer updates the package).

I'd avoid the -git package for the time being, it pulls from a source maintained by the package creator, who doesn't appear to know what he/she's doing, at least in terms of PKGBUILD writing.

Hi, thanks for this answer. tint2-svn seems to be hopelessly broken. I had to even fix the version I had installed (back in February), but the latest one seems to be an absolute trainwreck. I tried the tips from the comments:

I `m successfully compile after next changes:
- patch launcher_apps_dir-v2.patch needs to be modified, source code in svn has been chaged in util/common.c, changes to patch on http://pastebin.com/avmcFs8s
- patch tint2-systray.patch need to be removed, because source code in file systray/systraybar.c already have patch changes

This one led to:

==> Starting build()...
patching file src/clock/clock.c
Hunk #2 succeeded at 111 (offset 11 lines).
patching file src/clock/clock.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 41 (offset 2 lines).
Hunk #2 FAILED at 62.
Hunk #3 FAILED at 78.
Hunk #4 succeeded at 286 (offset 31 lines).
2 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/clock/clock.c.rej
patching file src/clock/clock.h
patching file src/config.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 435 (offset 39 lines).
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

I wouldn't know how to manually fix it and there wasn't a solution in the comments. Also tried building the git version with this pkgbuild: http://sprunge.us/VaeE?sh still got this error: No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found. I also googled and found out some users have reported the svn version works without patches, that didn't work for me when I tried it. It looks like I've hit a dead end. I'm using tint2 for now, but it sadly doesn't have the feature to move tray and clock to bottom when using it as a sidebar. Also it has the same transparency issues in the tray. I might be forced to start looking for a new panel

Can anyone confirm this issue on the official repository version? I have it on that as well.

WorMzy · 2015-04-13 11:26:13

There's also tint3-cpp-git which builds okay (if you add cmake to the makedepends array). Not sure if it implements the same stuff that the patches in tint2-svn add though.

I get the feeling that this is a problem with gtk3 applications/libraries rather than tint2 though. My local tint2-svn has not exhibited this behaviour. All my systray icons are still transparent

Yes, I'm experiencing it with both versions: tint2 from the Arch repos and building the latest version manually.

I filed a bug report on the tint2 issue tracker:
https://code.google.com/p/tint2/issues/detail?id=480

For a temporary workaround, try adding some transparency to the tray icons.

systray_icon_asb = 99 0 0

However, after some time it messes up the icons (they disappear completely), so that's not an ideal solution.

Hi, I modified the PKGBUILD like this:

makedepends=('git' 'cmake')

And I still get a cmake compiler error. Am I doing something wrong?

@justasug
Good to hear that it's not an isolated issue. Thanks for the bug report.

WorMzy · 2015-04-13 15:22:39

If you create a new topic about that, with the exact errors you're getting (in code tags!), I can take a look for you. Let's not derail this thread by making it a general tint[23]-related support thread.

justasug · 2015-04-13 16:28:58

The issue is resolved for me.

A new version of imlib2 (which is a dependency of tint2) is available in the repository. After a system update and restarting tint2 the issue appears to be gone. It fixed both the tint2 found in the repositories and the latest build.

Ggg377, can you confirm that this fixed the issue for you too?

I can confirm this resolved the issue.
