juk on startup (console): QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified org.kde.juk: Trying to add empty file org.kde.juk: File "" no longer exists!
(hangs, no reaction)
I'm aware of the code getting confused into trying to add a file with an empty name, that's why JuK warns about this. Obviously I still haven't figured out the cause though :( Hanging on startup is more interesting though. Does JuK attach to the DBus? e.g. does "qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.juk /Player play" do something (assuming you already have music loaded)? If so it may be a bug I just fixed last night, where JuK could be simultaneously configured to start in docked mode but also configured to not actually dock in the system tray. This would make it look like JuK is hung because it wouldn't show any U/I.
Thanks. "qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.juk /Player play" plays a song. Juk is still invisible... :)
Do you still have this bug with the git-master form of JuK? Would be nice if I had fixed it by accident. :)
Would be nice, Michael. I am using opensuse packages though. I am not sure software vendors execute autotests for packages prior to release. But I do not know if some test would catch the problem. I'll build JuK later and let you know. Thanks! If there's a fix I understand you would backport to stable?
Normally I would backport to stable, but in this case the next release is 18.04 so I only applied the fix to master. If distributions are going to continue to make their own releases based on Applications/17.12 branch then I have no objection to backporting but it didn't seem relevant. The relevant git commit would be 1eed47304c46ccba081a8306a3c95151ff8ffd66
[Settings] StartDocked=false in jukrc fixed it for me! I think the commit will improve things. Thanks. However if XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE is for some reason set under e.g. XFCE (like in my case, to get KFileDialogs) having StartDocked=true and DockInSystemTray=true won't put JuK to the tray and thus it's inaccessible. In this case the patch won't help but this is really different issue. If we knew JuK is not getting properly into tray maybe we would show it. I admit it looks more like a challenge related to hacking the desktop with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP settings than something app developers would care about. Thanks Michael!
