Running a brand-new install of BrowserLinux on my eeePC 701.

I tried to add the virtual desktop displays by usng the JWM Configuration Manager. Nothing changed, even though I clicked the "Restart JWM" button.

I also selected Autohide to "On", and that's when the taskbar disappeared
I have no tray icons, only the right-click menu is working.

How can I get my taskbar back?

hi jeff,

1. test config.
-open a terminal this will show you, if you got errors in your config-files.

2. editing tray-config
open rox. open /root/.jwmrc-tray as text.
the line to look is set autohide to false. save. restart jwm.

3. recover original tray-config
- backup /root/.jwmrc-tray
- copy /initrd/pup_ro2/root/.jwmrc-tray to /root/.jwmrc-tray
- restart jwm
this should give you the original tray back.

hope this helps.

Thank you for the helpful reply, aragon.

1. jwm -p gives "Segmentation Fault"
What does that mean? Just a corrupted file, I hope. Everything else is working fine.

2. /root/.jwmrc-tray and /root/.jwmrc-tray.bak are blank - 0 bytes.

3. /initrd.gz exists. I copied it to a new folder, extracted initrd from it, tried to open it as text, but it is just 0s and 1s.

Is there any other way to restore the orginal jwmrc-tray?

Look if you have hidden file /root/.jwmrc-tray.bak, if so, you copy it as /root/.jwmrc-tray, then restart X

I appreciate your help, trio. But as I said in my previous post, BOTH /root/.jwmrc-tray and /root/.jwmrc-tray.bak are blank - 0 bytes.

use this

Awesome! That worked beautifully, thanks, trio!

Now, do I dare try to set autohide = true?

- Jeff

hi,
I think you do this better manually like mentioned above:


open /root/.jwmrc-tray as text.

in the line:
<Tray autohide="false" ....blablabla
change to:
<Tray autohide="true" ....blablabla

In my opinion, BrowserLinux is very nice puplet but it doesnt like if you mix in JWM Configuration Manager

@lisek

It did the trick for me as well. Thank you and a Happy New Year!

Apology in advance for diggin' up an old thread.

trio thanks for the pet worked great on my HD install. But may I ask what is inside the pet? I want to know. I can't extract it when renaming it to .tar.gz.

Thanks Trio, worked well for me.
