App Launcher - adeskbar

ADcomp · 2009-07-31 14:23:49

Hi DonVla,

Can you copy/paste your ADeskBar config ( http://pastebin.com/ ) .. ? I need all wariable to found the problem.

For "export" problem, I don't know why It doesn't work .. But you can maybe create a little script to launch opera ?
Somethink link this : my_opera ( put it where you want. /usr/local/bin is a good place I think )

#!/bin/sh

## export what you need
export OPERAPLUGINWRAPPER_PRIORITY=0
## launch your app.
/usr/bin/opera -style skulpture -notrayicon

don't forget to add "execute" permission ( as root if needed ) ..

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/my_opera

And use it as launcher in ADeskBar .. But I take a look to found why export doesn't work with ADeskBar.

Thanks for feedback ..

the alpha release http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/AD … .3.tar.bz2 gives me errors

@ geoisis : can you try to rename your config ? after ADeskBar should work ..

mv ~/.config/adeskbar/config ~/.config/adeskbar/config.old

ADcomp · 2009-08-01 03:47:27

Hello ..

new source for testing .. : http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/AD … .4.tar.bz2

what's new ? minor change , working on plugin .. configuration in UI settings is not yet ready but I made a little hack

If you want to try a plugin , simply add a launcher : title => plugin name , command => @plugin ( take a look at the screenshot )
Other plugins come soon : volume , mediaplayer control , terminal , gmail , searchbox , menu ...

## EDIT : showdesktop plugin require python-xlib

@ DonVla : "export" problem is fixed I think .. but I don't have opera , can you give a try ?

Bye

hi ADComp,

you set wrong file permissions for the cmd.sh temp files:

[ADeskBar] 14:41:19 ~ screen : 1280x1024 , bar : 624x66
[ADeskBar] 14:41:22 ~ Exec. | tabble-wrapper |
sh: /tmp/adeskbar.sh: Permission denied
[ADeskBar] 14:41:28 ~ Exec. | /usr/bin/rox |
sh: /tmp/adeskbar.sh: Permission denied
...

i cannot launch any app.

ps: and i noticed that you cannot set custom icons for the plugins.

.. very strange .. Work fine for me ! Don't think the problem is permission on /tmp/adeskbar.sh .. but on your /tmp ( separate partition ? config ? )
I take a look and try to quickly found a work around ...

Not yet ready .. but it's coming

DonVla · 2009-08-01 13:03:53

hello ADComp,
took a short look at core.py, line 36

 
 if not cmd=='' and not cmd==None:
        logINFO("Exec. | %s |" % cmd)
        os.system('echo "%s" > /tmp/adeskbar.sh' % cmd)
        pid = Popen(['sh','-c','/tmp/adeskbar.sh']).pid

pid = Popen(['sh','/tmp/adeskbar.sh']).pid
should be sufficient.
"-c" means the file should be executed as a command, so you need executive permissions.
"sh" alone simple reads out the script.

ps:

/tmp $ ls -l adeskbar.sh 
-rw-r--r-- 1 vlad vlad 15 2009-08-01 14:48 adeskbar.sh
/tmp $ sh -c ./adeskbar.sh 
sh: ./adeskbar.sh: Permission denied
/tmp $ sh ./adeskbar.sh

last works. sure maybe you have other ulimits set for creating new files, but i think default is always 644 for files and 755 for dirs.

Does it work for you if you remove '-c' ..? Thanks for your help

## Edit .. Ok ; I update source ..

ps : I create a new branch on launchpad : https://code.launchpad.net/~ad-comp.be/ … ease-0.1.7

DonVla · 2009-08-01 13:42:54

i see there are a lot of plugins. i'll give them all a try later.

You're right but when plugins will be finished, you can configure all settings ( size , color , font , image , ... ).

Only ' clock ' , ' clock2 ' , ' showdesktop ' , ' spacer ' and ' separator ' already work .. no other

Hello ..

New video , playing with some new plugins : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7moefVLTQs

Bye ..

DonVla · 2009-08-04 13:02:45

nice ...
are these plugins in the launchpad repo?
i'm very keen to test....

ADcomp · 2009-08-04 13:30:23

Hi DonVla,

Not yet .. but let's talk about plugins ..
Menu : is a bit slow when it loading, because I always parse /usr/share/applications. So I must save this in config file , and when add new app. , simply update
Pager : if you click , you go to next desktop , roll up/down you switch between first to last desktop (one by one)
WindowList : something like openbox menu .. It's simple , but I would add some other feature ( move to [x] desktop , close , min/max/shade/stick , ... )
Terminal : It's possible to configure with tranparencie ? maybe .. why not ? terminator ( use python-vte, too ) can do it
The most difficult plugin for me , is systray .. It really kill me .. And plugins add some dependencies , like python-wnck for windowlist/showdesktop , python-vte for terminal

So next release coming soon .. maybe this week-end

@bientot

DonVla · 2009-08-04 14:09:32

windowlist and terminal look really interesting.

btw: which AUR packages do you need?
i adopted python-wnck and i can add python-vte, but googled a little and found nothing. is it inside the extra/vte package?

ADcomp · 2009-08-04 15:12:09

Hello DonVla,

I'm not on archlinux ( crunchbang / *buntu ) .. So with *buntu, "python-wnck"is part of "python-gnome2-desktop" .. and python-vte has is own package : python-vte
I hope this can help ..

btw, I just push update to launchpad : https://code.launchpad.net/~ad-comp.be/ … ease-0.1.7

@bientot

DonVla · 2009-08-04 17:15:10

trying now the last bzr entry.
when i reload the configuration i get this:

[ADeskBar] 19:12:55 ~ Reacting on USR1 signal (signal 10) - Reload config ..
[ADeskBar] 19:12:55 ~ Reading config ..

ADcomp · 2009-08-04 18:43:12

# DonVla : shame on me .. too quickly

take a look at ADeskBar/__init__.py , ~ line 328 :

item.destroy()

But It must destroy widget , not item .. so,

item.widget.destroy()

I push fix to launchpad .. Remember It's only devel trunk !
Btw , Plugins work for you ? have install python-(wnck/vte) ..?

Thanks for testing

## Edit : although "Refresh" need some fix because , now with plugins , some stuff remain loaded .. So I need more 'brain damage' for it

hi all.
i adopted python-wnck (AUR) which is needed for some plugins.
though same functionality is also provided by extra/gnome-python-desktop.
for the terminal plugin extra/vte is needed.

ADcomp · 2009-08-06 00:53:49

Hello ..

A new video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdBilLcXdYs

Faster and uses less CPU than any other shiny launcher I've tried! Will install just so norms don't feel so daunted by the dmenu launcher.

A mount/unmount plugin would be useful. Maybe something along the lines of xfce's mount plugin, which just reads the fstab file.
