On boot,icon for Glipper disappears from Precise 5.4.2 tray
On boot,icon for Glipper disappears from Precise 5.4.2 tray
Regularly now on bootup the space for Glipper is there but the icon is gone .Nothing happens if I click on the space . If I restart the xserver is is the first one loaded so that makes me think it is clashing on bootup with something else and I want to move its start instruction to another line near the end .
I can't find the startup line in initd as yet
Can anyone tell me where this is?

I think you're confusing xclipboard with something like glipper/glipper-lite or parcellite. Can you confirm which one you're running? (try running pprocess or top to see).
Can you run dmesg in a terminal and see if there are any relevant error messages? Are there any messages if you try to start the offending program from a terminal?

When it has been lost the icon is gone but the space is there for it .Clicking on that space does nothing .
Running glipper in a terminal produces another icon which works well but is removed when you close the terminal
Thats good to know when I am in the middle of something and the glipper has disappeared , at least I can use it without restarting the X server and losing my place.

Have had that happen occasionally (an item in the dock but 'off' the visible dockspace) with jwm's dock/systray.
Something to try - load something else that works from the dock (like xpad) and quit it .. often your lost item returns from offstage.
Yeah, might be a timing thing depending on what else is in the dock (netmon or whatever) .. the dockboy tripped over the lines and bumped his nog on the pin, so to speak ‡z²

glipper
If I recall correctly it hides in ~/.xinitrc - toggling is done via the glipper ui. Maybe comment it out of .xinitrc and play with sleep durations in a ~/Startup/<script>, keep re-Xing 'til you get it so it works for you. Perhaps take a look at other scripts in ~/Startup.
sleep <number-of-seconds>; <app> .. you might need an & at the end (try it that way from a console to see if it's needed to keep the app running after it's started and you close the console). No idea if glipper has cli options you might want.
Another place to look for loads is delayed_run (just an fyi from .xinitrc)

Yes, i have a feeling a sleep might sort it out. Try what 'f00 suggests. There are no cl options.

glipper
Strange thing: nothing about Puppy and/or version of glipper
... but no, now I see: endless discussion at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72156
My glipper 0.95.1 is working ok in puppy wary, racy slacko, precise

I thought this time it seemed like a different issue since the "space for Glipper" is still there, and Tytower is already aware of a workaround he's used previously, for that problem, and this time there is no mention of the problem occurring after a panel restart.
Could you please clarify, Tytower? Does it seem to be the same problem?
Are you using the Glipper that came with your Puppy? Which Puppy is that? Which WM/panel are you using?
Anyway, is that the original 0.95.1, not Technosaurus' version, which also displays that version number?
If it is the original 0.95.1, it should crash in some circumstances. To test reliably, exit and then restart JWM without exiting X.

Sorry it is not the original. It is Technosaurus' 0.95.1disciple wrote:Anyway, is that the original 0.95.1, not Technosaurus' version, which also displays that version number?

It should have received another version number
I have it in JWM , never crashed on jwm -restart or anything else...
( I don't use it, just for purposes of internationalization )
Thanks fellas that gives me a few alternatives
Found it OK in ~/.xinitrc
About line 165 or so
Tried it at 100 or so and that seems to work but I'll watch it for a few dozen boots and maybe play with it some more if needed.
EDIT worked for 100 boots or so then consistently lost it again
so I moved it to line 27 and thats OK for the moment see last post
JWM loads at the end of the script
Thanks again
Semme I'll have to work on that . Cryptic is my crossword of choice but I might need a bit of what you have .

Tried it at line 200 odd and no change -lost it again#v2.17 removed, interferes with clipboard in Composer....
##v2.15 disovered by GuestToo...
#[ "`which glipper`" != "" ] && glipper &
#v2.17 made it optional...
[ -f /root/.glipper_on ] && glipper &

I hadn't noticed before but when it booted and the icon was not there there was just a black square where the cpu activity should be .
I was concentrated on the glipper icon and didn't notice that.
Second boot since change of position in script file and all's well.For those that have to have these things it Precise 5.4.2

Hmm disapointingly the problem seems to have reemerged and now quite regularly gives the old problem on boot?
I'm not sure what else to try I didn't want to mess with sleep timing as I don't know how that works but I might give it a go if moving it again does not fix it
I probably booted without problem 100 times at least before it started again so maybe some variable is filling up and causing this.
