No Tray Icon in Linux

Hi All,

I''ve searched far and wide through this forum, but cannot seem to find a solution for this problem:

I''m currently using Spark 2.5.4/2.5.2 on linux, and am unable to the tray icon to appear. I''ve tried on two different distributions, using both JDK1.6 and JDK1.5:

- Kubuntu 7.04 32bit

- Suse 10 32bit

The problem is that I start Spark using the standard startup/Spark script. Spark opens up and I can login successfully, but no tray icon appears. I''ve updated the JDIC components in ~/Spark/lib/linux, but it still refuses to show me a tray icon. If, however, I close the window, the process stays running, but there is no icon in the system tray to double click on to open it up again. The only way to bring it back it to kill the process and start the app again.

The only errors I receive on both linux distributions when I startup is:

ls: /opt/Spark/lib/windows: No such file or directory

I also have the following error in the ~Spark/log/error.log:

Exception on commit = java.io.IOException: Can''t find registry file

I''m absolutely stumped as to why this is happening since in the previous 1.x.x Spark versions, it worked like a charm.

Essentially all I''m doing is untarring the Spark download, and modifying the Spark startup script to point towards my local JDK:

e.g. ~/Spark/Spark: INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=/opt/java

What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

On Ubuntu you probably run GNOME. And this looks like KDE problem (on Linux at least).

Re: No Tray Icon in Linux

For those with Win32 try changing the permissions. After upgrading limited users could not see the icon in the system tray. So I changed the permissions to allow everyone to have full control, now limited users can see icon in system tray. Changing the permissions may work in Linux too, but I haven''t tried yet.

Which permissions should be changed? My user role on this computer is Administrator with full control. I changed permissions on the Spark folder to Full Control, and added Everyone with Full Control. Still no icon in the systray. Is there somewhere else that permissions should be checked?

On Linux, make sure you are running JRE 1.6+. You should have tray support with it.

Re: No Tray Icon in Linux

It still isn''t working for me with Spark 2.5.5 either.

The tray icon just doesn''t show at all, although when I tick the Start In System Tray it doesn''t crash like it used to.

Is it something to do with KDE? Because I''m running the latest Sabayon with the latest KDE etc. And I just installed a new version of the laster Java to use with it, but still, nothing. I even tried replacing the libtray.so with one I stole from somewhere else, but still nothing.

Is there anyone else with this problem?

Hey,

Is the error of "ls: cannot access /home/sam/Desktop/Spark/lib/windows: No such file or directory" any use?

Is Spark trying to look for the windows libraries instead of the Linux ones? Or does it check for the windows ones first?

Hmmm. This is very strange. Can you check your plugins directory and make sure the jniwrapper.jar is there. That contains the code for the tray.

Still no tray icon, you did mean to put it in the plugins directory, right?

No tray icon in WinXP either after updating to 2.5.5.

I checked to see if jniwrapper.jar existed in WinXP (C:\Program Files\Spark\plugins\jniwrapper\lib\dist) - it doesn''t, but jniwrap.jar does. Which is the correct file that should be installed?

Hi Guys,

So attached you will find the linuxplugin.jar. Download and place inside the plugins dir of your spark installation. Also, make sure you have JDK 1.6 running with it.

I can confirm, running 64 bit linux (Ubuntu Gutsy), with Java 1.60, that after putting the linuxplugin.jar file in the plugins directory, that the icon tray is now showing correctly.

Small critique though... the icon is really ugly now....

Re: No Tray Icon in Linux

I've recently upgraded from 2.5.4 (with no tray icon) to 2.5.5 with still no tray icon.

I am using Java 1.6:

$ ps auxw | grep spark

And here is my plugins directory:

$ ls -ahsl /home/myuser/LocalApps/Spark/plugins/

669K -rw-rr 1 myuser myuser 665K 2007-08-06 06:41 spelling-plugin.jar

Other system information of possible use:

$ uname -a

$ kded --version

Qt: 3.3.8

KDE: 3.5.7

After putting the plugin in the plugins directory I restarted Spark. There is no tray icon and if I close the window (not exit) the window disappears but Spark stays running with no way to retrieve the window.

Cheers,

I've downloaded 2.5.6 and I'm running 64bit Ubuntu 7.04. I can only get the tray icon to work if I download the two jars pasted in the thread above: jniwrapper.jar and linuxplugin.jar.

I also always get the libLinuxIdle.so error in the error.log, but it doesn't appear to be detrimental.

btw the tray icon does look ugly...

2.5.7 does not resolve the missing systray icon in Compiz + KDE + the two extra .jars provided earlier in this thread. As an aside I dont use Ubuntu, so in my case Compiz is by choice, not by obligation

Re: No Tray Icon in Linux

In my case the ONLY way to get spark notification icon to work is to start in Metacity, run spark, and switch to compiz. Than the icon stays, but every opened window is gray.

Of course that way you cant add spark to autostart.

Thank you,

Re: No Tray Icon in Linux

Great find Rob, that worked for me.

I know that Compiz has a problem with Java which causes grey windows. It is fixed in Java 7 Beta but I found it unuseable for other reasons. I have fixed the problem with grey windows but I can't remember what it is, if I remember I will post back. There is a very small chance that it is to use the JRockit implementation of Java but I think that fixes Tomcat's out of memory error and not the grey window. However, if you are desperate you can give it a go and see if it works for you. I also remember that finding the JRockit download was very difficult last time! The bookmark I have no longer works - sorry.

Re: No Tray Icon in Linux

Agreed, I'm running Spark 2.5.7 with Ubuntu 7.10 and with Compiz enabled Spark loses the ability to add the tray icon for some reason.

If I disable Compiz and go back to the default vanilla config without it, then it gains the ability to display the tray icon again. I would really like to see a fix for this one as well. It's forcing me to use different clients that support Compiz at the moment.

I just wanted to say that this plugin worked great with 2.5.7 on rhel41 and kde.

Any chance of adding this plugin to the standard build, since it clearly helps a little in some cases?

Re: No Tray Icon in Linux

The icon also does not show at my PC.

I run Spark 2.5.8 on Fedora 10 (Linux 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 15:12:04 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux)

./java -version
java version "1.6.0_02"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0_02-b05, mixed mode)

(bundled with Spark)

Your linuxplugin.jar works fine for me but the icon is so ugly.

Is there any updated version?

Also, the jniwrapper.jar seems not to be loaded (see my attachment).

I tried to change permission on Spark and all sub-folders to writable for all but no more luck.

Have you got any more advice for me?

Thanks,

Tuan

Re: No Tray Icon in Linux

Re: No Tray Icon in Linux

I am having the same problem with Spark 2.5.8 on Fedora 8(Werewolf) x86_64 under Gnome 2.20.3 with desktop effects enabled. Spark came with jniwrapper.jar but not linuxplugins.jar. However, after ensuring that both files are in the plugins directory, the tray icon still does not appear. I've also tried running it as root with SElinux disabled and the tray icon still did not appear.

I looked at the logs and found the following exception(s),

Re: No Tray Icon in Linux

When I use Compiz and Spark, in my ~/.Spark/logs directory I have a error.log file which contains:

That error vanishes when I don't use Compiz.

By the way, the grey window problem mentioned above when using Compiz and spark may be fixed in sun java-1.6.0_10. The grey windows went away for me in NetBeans when I upgraded to that JDK. I had problems before that using sun jdk1.6.0_06.

Even better than that is that the tray icon works with java-1.6.0_10. I can now start Spark in the tray. I am running Debian lenny with Compiz from the repo (See the first post on this page for how to set the version of Java that Spark uses).
