Topic: notification area on Open box Ubuntu

Good day sir...

I'm editing my autostart.sh on my Ubuntu 9.10 open-box...


How can I start the notification area just like on the crunchbang desktop....


Thanks in Advance...

Re: notification area on Open box Ubuntu

Crunchbang panel is tint2, but if you just want a notification area I suggest stalonetray.

I've install tint2....but I cant start notification area like on crunchbang.

Re: notification area on Open box Ubuntu

Just add "tint2 &" to your autostart.sh?

Also check your ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc file and make sure "systray" is set to 1.

And one last thing, if you start tint2 after your apps, any tray icons you have won't show up; you'll have to restart those apps.

Do I need to install "trayer" or "systray"??

to run tint2? no. tint2 already have his own systray.

trayer is an alternative systray just like the stalonetray I have suggested before. it is only the notification area, it does not list your running windows like tint2.

can you post your ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc file?

Re: notification area on Open box Ubuntu

I edited  my tintrc and put this line

systray = 1


run tint on my terminal just to check but there is an erron

Invalid option: "systray", correct your config file

tint run but no systray...

Re: notification area on Open box Ubuntu

Make sure you installed tint2 not tint. Also you can just grab tint2 from this PPA:

Re: notification area on Open box Ubuntu

Re: notification area on Open box Ubuntu

tint2 is a newer version of tint.

because another package in debian use already the name tint (it's a tetris game).

I installed tint2 via terminal...

^ No, you use `tint2`.
