ghost in the machine #1998

Closed jajukandy closed 8 years ago

jajukandy commented 8 years ago

after running jajuk for a few weeks (ubuntu14.04) every time i try starting the program i get told already running. Music plays, mplayer starts but no display. No process running (other than mplayer and java). I have done a purge of all files and re-installed and still have the same album playing in background and no display. Is there a file somewhere which purge misses that i need to manually delete? Had to download banshee to play music but seems power hungry on my laptop (volume on 11 to drown out the fan!) any ideas?

Jajuk is the java process itself. Try to kill it or close you session, then edit your /.jajuk/conf.properties. What' the value of the jajuk.startup_display_mode property ? Try to set it to '0' and restart jajuk.

thanks for the reply. I thought there must be a corrupted configuration file. I cannot find this file anywhere - not in home, I can only see changelog, copyright and news

This file should be in ~/.jajuk directory .It is created automaticaly by Jajuk. I think you looked in the binary distribution instead. Can you please check again ?

jajukandy commented 8 years ago

up and running again thanks, I found and edited the file using file gui with ctrl H and edited with gedit. I spent a lot of time trying to find the file with terminal and edit withnano (sorry sticky keyboard) but could not find even with ls -al from home directory - I need more practice with unix! thanks again

You need to use the ls -a (all) option to see hidden directories/files. Free tip : create an alias like this in you .bashrc
alias l="ls -altr' and use 'l' instead of 'ls'

BTW, did you note the previous value of the startup_display_mode property ?

jajukandy commented 8 years ago

display mode was 1. I have noticed some players dont exit when window is closed, not sure if ALT F4 closes program or just the window. I did use ls -a but from /home not /home/andy . Places (top left) Home Folder shows path as Home but displays /home/andy/ which confused me. I am trying to get the hang of the bash find command but it returns a lot of results, and doesnt search all subdirectories or hidden files. Thanks for the tip on alias - once I work out correct search format I'll set up an alias.

You were in systray-only mode (did you see the systray icon )? clicking on it should open the main window)

jajukandy commented 8 years ago

I'm pretty sure the icon did not appear

OK . I already experienced that under Linux. Anyway, we'll drop the systray support in next release.
