Plugin just flashing white #27

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

After following the advice from #15, I finally got the plugin installed and got it added to the list of available plugins. However, all it does is quickly flash white/clear: screenshot_2017-07-31_15-25-54

I have DockbarX installed and running fine, it's just the plugin that seems to be having issues.

EDIT: I forgot my OS info, sorry!

Fedora 26 x86_64 XFCE spin, somewhat clean install, xfce4/xfce4-panel version 4.12.1, DockbarX version 0.92 built from git master, dockbarx plugin also built from git master.

I was screwing around and it somehow started working. I undid everything I changed to see what fixed it, but it never broke again.

Maybe just changing the settings at all (even if they were reverted) somehow fixed it. Other than that I have no idea.

Hmm. Normally my first step in all of these is to ask you to run xfce4-panel in a terminal in order to see what it says when it's having problems. I should probably amend the README with this. If it happens again, please do that.

I got this issue too just after installation from dockbar-main Zesty PPA. The error messages on flashing are:

  File "/usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/xfce4-dockbarx-plug", line 183, in image_pattern
    surface = cairo.ImageSurface.create_from_png(image)
MemoryError
Couldn't load png image.

So when I set a background color instead of blending mode the flashing have stopped and dockx successfully loaded.
