can't start client - gui about minarca

[ikus060]

Hello @satkas

It might be related to a recent update in Debian Bookworm. I will try to reproduce in a lab. It's strange that you don't see anything in the log. Any error should be logged.

You may try a of thing for me.

1. Start minarca in a terminal
   minarca ui
2. Then try to kill it by pressing CTRL + C. This should terminate the process and print a stack trace similar to the following.

$ minarca ui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "minarca_client/main.py", line 478, in <module>
  File "minarca_client/main.py", line 474, in main
  File "minarca_client/main.py", line 269, in _ui
  File "tkvue/__init__.py", line 940, in _mainloop

  File "selectors.py", line 468, in select
KeyboardInterrupt
[84071] Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception!

This will help me to understand what the process is doing and if it's stuck somewhere.

Thanks @satkas for your help. According to the stack trace, the application is running.

It possible the window for Minarca get created, but get hidden. You may try to list the window from x server using: xwininfo -tree -root when minarca ui is running.

Then look for something like this:

     0x40f657 (has no name): ()  920x615+3150+490  +3150+490
        1 child:

So far, the only thing I can think of is the window being created outside the visible space of you desktop. The coordinate +2526+358 seams a bit far if you have a single monitor.

I found a couple of command line to move the windows.

$ xwininfo -tree -root | grep  'minarca'
   0x54003bf "Minarca Backup": ("minarca" "Minarca")  900x560+10+45  +0+397
$ xdotool windowactivate 0x54003bf
XGetWindowProperty[_NET_WM_DESKTOP] failed (code=1)
$ xdotool windowmove 0x54003bf 100 100

I also reinstalled the client but it didn't work
sudo apt reinstall minarca-client

So far, the only thing I can think of is the window being created outside the visible space of you desktop. The coordinate +2526+358 seams a bit far if you have a single monitor.

I found a couple of command line to move the windows.

$ xwininfo -tree -root | grep  'minarca'
   0x54003bf "Minarca Backup": ("minarca" "Minarca")  900x560+10+45  +0+397
$ xdotool windowactivate 0x54003bf
XGetWindowProperty[_NET_WM_DESKTOP] failed (code=1)
$ xdotool windowmove 0x54003bf 100 100

yes, the window showed up. But what causes this behavior?

yes, the window showed up.

Great !

But what causes this behavior?

It's a miss calculation of the window coordinate. Not sure exactly what is the culprit because we delegate this calculation to the widget toolkit. Do you have a particular setup that might interfere with the display. e.g.: Dual monitor, HiRes monitor, scaling, fractional scaling, etc.

A screenshot of your display settings might help alot. e.g.:

I did not manage to reproduce the problem, by enabling scaling or fractional scaling.

It was a strange case. Another monitor was connected to my docking station. This is where the client of the minarca landed.
Why did the minarc window land in the area of the second monitor? There were no such problems with other windows.

[ikus060]

@satkas I will try to investigate with the widget toolkit project. Tkinter in this occurrence.

But I'm afraid that without a reliable way to reproduce the problem it won't be possible to get it fixed.

This is how my laptop connects to the docking station

If you still experience the issue with 4.5.4, could you try with this dev version: https://nexus.ikus-soft.com/repository/apt-dev-bookworm/pool%2Fm%2Fminarca-client%2Fminarca-client_4.5.5.dev1%2Bg4274637_amd64.deb

I remove the code that center the window.

@satkas Did you get the chance to test the development version I provided ? I will integrate the change in the next release if it work for you.

[satkas]

I'm sorry for the lack of response. I'm on vacation and I have a docking station at work (the problem occurred on the instance at work). I think I'll be able to test the new version next week. thank you for the information

[ikus060]

@satkas Did you manage to test it again ?

[satkas]

Hi @ikus060
Seems good. now the window appears in the upper left corner

[ikus060]

@satkas Thanks for testing. I will merge this change soon.
