apps menu not appearing #4

Closed chapochn closed 1 year ago

chapochn commented 7 years ago

Hi, When i run in the terminal ./run_scaled app_name the apps menus in the top menu bar are not appearing (like file, edit, etc...), would you know how to fix that? xpra version: v2.0.2-r15657 Ubuntu 16.04, Unity desktop

I found this: https://www.xpra.org/trac/ticket/1419 https://www.xpra.org/trac/wiki/FAQ?action=diff&version=74 but not sure if it is relevant and how to incorporate it in your code

Many thanks!

Unfortunatly the fix mentioned there does not work, at least with my Ubuntu I just installed. I opened a bug for it: https://xpra.org/trac/ticket/1512

Ok, thanks for checking out! So you would say it is an Ubuntu bug then?

kaueraal commented 7 years ago

Probably. run_scaled should use the --start=-flag of xpra instead of starting the applications itself, as mentioned in your linked documentation, but in recent Ubuntu versions stuff breaks anyways.

running UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 ./run_scaled app_name works for most programs, apart from libreoffice. Output for xournal (for which it works) and impress (for which it doesn't). xournal.txt impress.txt

Any ideas?

Xpra directly includes an equivalent tool since version 4.1. It is also called run_scaled and is part of the default Xpra installation.

Hence, this script here is deprecated and no longer maintained. I'm sorry that it took me quite long to officially announce it here. Thank you for your support and please continue your HiDPI journey with Xpra's tool!
