Hello all,
In last time I noticed that some application doesn't want to start if I click on the icon in tint2 launcer.
The problem is with Terminator and Midnight commander. Also I can't start Deluge but I don't use it anymore.
So if I click on Terminator or Midnight Commander (I use Terminator to run it) nothing happens. But, if I start it from the Openbox menu (any of them) then I can run both from launcher. Maybe it is not to clear so let me explain how it is working with an example. I want to open Terminator or Midnigh Commander from the launcher. Nothing happens. I open Terminator from Openbox menu. Then Terminator window appears and then I can run both Terminator and MC from launcher. Any idea why is this?
Here is my tint2rc:

It doesn't make sense to have at the same time Terminal=true and to execute an X11 application (terminator). Does it work with Terminal=false?
Edit: when Terminal=true, tint2 executes the command as x-terminal-emulator -e $command.

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
I tried with false but the situation is same.
I forgot to wrote in my post that it worked for the long time with these files. I noticed this issue few weeks ago but I can't say exactly after which update (I update the system automatically every time when I power on the laptop).

Tint2 has recently implemented support for the Terminal key in desktop files, it's the most likely cause.
Are you sure you restarted tint2 after editing the files?
Offline
Yes I did the restart.
This is weird for me that it was working for a long time.
And I don't have an idea how to find the source of the problem.
Offline
If you run tint2 from a terminal, you should see in its output a message when you click the launcher. Try running it like this:
tint2 2>&1 | grep execWhat does it say?

Hello,
For Midnigh Commander I have:
tint2: executing in x-terminal-emulator: terminator -T Midnight\ Commander -p mc -m --icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/MidnightCommander.png -e mc
tint2: could not execute command in x-terminal-emulator: terminator -T Midnight\ Commander -p mc -m --icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/MidnightCommander.png -e mc, executting in shellFor Terminator:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/terminatorlib/ipc.py", line 192, in _execOffline
I'm pretty sure you still have Terminal=true in your desktop file for mc. So tint2 tries to execute x-terminal-emulator which fails.
Then it falls back to starting terminator directly, and it does, but terminator crashes. This might be a bug i fixed in tint2 15.3, but it is not in the arch repositories yet.

Thank you for your answers.
But why I cannot run Terminator from launcher?
Offline
It's hard to explain precisely. Basically, tint2 doesn't clean up after itself properly, and terminator crashes because of this. It's something I fixed in version 15.3, but it's not in the arch repository. I flagged the package as out of date, but it hasn't been updated yet.
Offline
Using openbox just test your configs - first comment - and it's working.
Terminator: ok from launcher;
mc: create a one line script with your command:
#!/bin/bash
terminator -T Midnight\ Commander -p mc -m --icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/MidnightCommander.png -e mccreate a new usr/share/application to execute that scrip with the name: MidnighCommander.desktop
E voilá launcher is working.
Offline
Thank you for all for the helps. Today tint2 is upgraded to "tint2 version 15.3" and it is solved the problem

Great, thanks for letting me know.
