tint won't change position

mrorange · 2009-01-30 02:03:03

hiho ,

i've installed tint (according the wiki) from source (svn)

$ svn checkout http://ttm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ttm
$ cd ./ttm/src
$ make
$ sudo make install

and used the config_sample as tintrc

$ cd ..
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/tint/
$ cp config_sample ~/.config/tint/tintrc

I added "panel_position = top left" to my tintrc and started tint from the terminal.

#---------------------------------------------
# PANEL
#---------------------------------------------
panel_width = 0
panel_height = 15
panel_tasks_centered = 0
panel_position = top left

...and get following error
" Invalid option: "panel_position = top left", using default value - please correct your config file "

My ttm just won't change it's position to the top!

According the tint documentation http://tint2.googlecode.com/files/tint-0.6.pdf it should be the right option.
After i searched with google and checked this forum, i couldnt find anyone how had a similiar problem.

P.s.: i already changed the options (top right, top left) and re-wrote this line in my config file several times. But tint is still positioned on the bottom.

Can anybody help me?

1. tint2 != ttm
2. ttm is unmaintained
3. You ought to learn how to use the ABS and AUR.

lol, i already expected this, but i wasnt sure.
OK, it should be no problem to install per ABS, but how can i remove the old ttm now?

i already tried sudo make uninstall, but there is no rule created to uninstall.

Make uninstall, perhaps. I'm not really sure. Where did it install to?

You could probably 'make install' to a specific directory, check what it installed there, and then remove those files from your real system.

make install DESTDIR=/tmp/fooey/

@SamC already tried make uninstall, no rule created.....anyways, i took a look into the make file, but it doesnt seem to tell me the destinations for the installed files.

@Ranguvar, thx. i will try this as soon as i'm on my archbox again.

THX for helping me with my noobish problems, *g* i better go the Archway (ABS, AUR) if i install from source again

i'm such a noob, i only had to delete the tint file from /usr/bin/ and the config file....
i guess we can close this thread

thx to all
