Tracker doesn't work in deskbar-applet

Hi again, one more problem.
I used to use a lot the spotlight-like tandem deskbar-applet + tracker; but after the upgrade to Gnome 2.24 it doesn't work for me anymore and it looks like i'm the only one that uses it or, at least, that has this problem.
I followed these instructions but nothing happens. The other deskbar plugins happen to be like
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/wikipedia-suggest.py
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/wikipedia-suggest.pyc
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/wikipedia-suggest.pyo
I tried placing module-tracker.py in that directory but again nothing happens and cannot find the files tracker-module.pyc nor tracker-module.pyo. As google tells me at least tracker-module.pyc should be created automatically the first time tracker-module.py is run. I tried to force it and here is the result:
[pablo@pablerkas modules-2.20-compatible]$ python tracker-module.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/tracker-module.py", line 14, in <module>
import deskbar.core.gnomedesktop
ImportError: No module named gnomedesktop
[pablo@pablerkas ~]$ sudo modprobe gnomedesktop
FATAL: Module gnomedesktop not found.
I googled again with that but found nothing helpful...
Thanks in advance.
Plus: keybindig <ctrl>space doesn't work...

ok i have patched the script, but...
the script works but if I restart X or simply restart the deskbar, the script is not shown in the list (even if I use the reload button).
I have to recopy the script (from a backup dir) to the /usr/lib/deskbar.../modules.../ dir and it magically works, until the next reboot....
note that the script is in /usr/ so it cannot be modified by my user (and deskbar)
Can you confirm this?
I can make a script that copy the script everytime gnome boots, but it's not a good idea...

  • First play track doesn't work is some players

    but the rest of my DVD does... meaning, it doesn't autoplay in my DVD Recorder, but it does in my second DVD player and in the computer...
    Any ideas, anybody? I am using DVD SP 3...
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Tato_LA,
    I've just ordered in a Sony RDR-GX330. Would you mind sending me your DVD that wouldn't play properly, so we can add it to our tests?
    I've been able to get projects working in specific troublesome players over the years before; and it seems now we need to get to the bottom of this issue with newer Sony players.
    Of course, I'll be sure to let you know how I get your project to play properly.
    Please contact me at Trai at comcast.net, or please call 800-213-2297, and we'll go over your project and set up delivery, etc., if you don't mind helping.
    Thanks for bringing this to our attention,

  • Next track doesn't work

    When I select a song for play, the last track, pause, and next track buttons become clickable. When I click next track, the song stops and the next/last buttons fade out. I never had any problems before and I'm not sure if this started since I updated to the newest iTunes or not. I've tried re-downloading the newest iTunes and repairing, but that didn't work. I'm forced to use Windows Media Player until I figure out why iTunes is being stupid.
    Dell Inspiron 9100   Windows XP Pro   3.2ghz 1gb ram

    I'm not sure its a itunes 7.0 problem. I only see the problem with it not moving to the next track when listening to audio books I imported from cd's and only on the 2nd gen nano. I have 2 other ipods, both are mini's and they still work fine.
    I get to the end of the track on an audio book (one track per cd as I joined all the tracks for a single cd) and on the mini, it smoothly moves to the next track. Not so on the nano. On the nano, it goes back to the main menu and I have to select from the top again to get to the next track. I don't have a 1st gen nano to test with but both mini's work fine, its only the nano with the problem. Same books from the same computer (XP) work on the mini but not on the nano.
    I'm going to try putting each book in its own playlist to see if that helps.

  • Clickme applet doesn't work

    I've been through all of the threads and can't find out why it doesn't work. The applet loads in both IE an with the appletviewer, but in both cases, the red dot does not appear.
    I have modified my classpath to include C:\jdk1.3.1_04\lib; and .;
    I have changed settings in the java plug-in control panel applet.
    The applet sometimes blinks and shows a hazy grey line across the box, as if it is trying to do something, but it never works.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Here is the html:
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE> The ClickMe Applet </TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <applet code="ClickMe.class" width="300" height="150"></applet>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    No dice. Adding the full directory path made it worse, now the applet won't load at all.
    I can't even get the hello world app to print on the command line.
    Last friday, it worked and now it doesn't. Its like my path or classpath is not being recognized or something.
    I wanted to learn a "real" language, but maybe I should just stick with Perl :)
    At least I can make it work.

  • Video seek doesn't work in detached playback window. Win 7 x64

    Seeking video using the tracker doesn't work in a detached video playback window when running 64-bit Windows 7. It last worked in 9.0.1, it stopped working in 9.0.2, and it wasn't fixed in 9.0.3. I can replicate this on every Windows 7 64-bit machine. I constantly have to waste time looking for an old downgraded version of iTunes as a result of this. It's been 6 months now. How many more years do you geniuses need to fix this blatantly obvious regression defect in your product?

    Update:
    I've just discovered that this is apparently only a problem with Firefox. I can adjust volume in flash games and YouTube in Google Chrome just fine. Still not sure of any way to fix these issues with Firefox, but it still helps to know that.

  • Fast Forward & Rewind doesn't work for long audio files

    I have loaded several mp3 files into the Pre via USB.  Some are 2+ hours long, some are a few minutes.  Fast forwarding thru the track doesn't work on the long files.  Holding down the fast-forward arrows will cause the audio to stutter in the same place, sometimes go BACKWARDS instead of forwards, and eventually it will go silent.  Pressing Pause, Play, whatever won't bring it back and ytou have to start the audio file over.
    Help, Palm!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Yea, the fast forward is way lame and pretty much...
    You get the idea.

    The timeline has been removed from Dreamweaver since CS3 (2007) because it uses ancient code. For what you're doing, the timeline is inappropriate anyway. Google "JavaScript image rotator" and you'll find plenty of scripts that do what you want.

  • How do you close a dragged applet, as Stage.close() doesn't work?

    I'm trying to implement a close button in a draggable applet, but Stage.close() doesn't work, and there's an odd little "X" icon which is causing me problems...
    My starting point and example is the simple draggable applet from the API documentation. It's the code listed under "User-Specified Close Example":
    http://java.sun.com/javafx/1.2/docs/api/javafx.stage/javafx.stage.AppletStageExtension.html
    import javafx.scene.*;
    import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
    import javafx.scene.paint.*;
    import javafx.scene.shape.*;
    import javafx.scene.text.*;
    import javafx.stage.*;
    var textContent = "Click the box to return to the browser";
    var outside: Boolean = false;
    var s: Stage = Stage {
        title: "AppDeploy Demo"
        width : 300 height : 200
        style: StageStyle.TRANSPARENT
        opacity: 0.5
        scene : Scene {
                content: [
                    Text { content: bind textContent 
                           x: 25 y:35 fill: Color.BLACK
                           font: Font{size: 24}
                    Rectangle { x: 100 y: 100 width: 100 height: 100 fill: Color.RED
                                onMouseClicked: function(e: MouseEvent): Void {
                                    s.close();
        extensions: [
            AppletStageExtension {
                shouldDragStart: function(e: MouseEvent): Boolean {
                    return e.shiftDown and e.primaryButtonDown;
                useDefaultClose: false
    }However, the Stage.close() function in the user code doesn't seem to close the applet once it's dragged. It seems this can only be achieved by a mysterious little "X" in a box top right, acting as a close button.
    Here's a demonstration of the problem once you've compiled that code:
    1. Open browser with applet (I'm using IE8 on Windows XP)
    2. Shift-drag the applet out of the browser. Notice the little X in a box appears when you drop the applet on the desktop.
    3. Click the red rectangle to invoke the Stage.close() function in the user code.
    4. Applet disappears from screen and does not reappear in the browser.
    5. But minimising all the icons on the desktop shows the little X in a box is still there sitting on your desktop (actually I find the X has gone, but the box is still there). This suggests the applet is still running.
    6. Close the browser. The little X's box is still on the desktop.
    7. After a short pause a Java dialog box appears: "Desktop integration warning. The application would like to create shortcuts. Do you want to continue? OK/Skip" The applet wasn't closed, it is still running!
    8. Click Skip. Dialog box disappears. But the little X's box is still on the desktop. Is the applet still running?
    9. Try to recompile app again into a deployable Jar (I'm using Eclipse for this).
    10. The compiler stops with "ERROR: Jar file C:\[...].jar could not be deleted. The Jar is probably locked by running application, Web browser, emulator or antivirus. Please check that all windows related to the application have been closed." Yes, the applet Jar is still being used.
    11. Minimise all the windows. The little X's box is still on the desktop.
    12. Click the little X's box.
    13. After a few seconds the box disappears. Does this mean the applet is no longer in use...?
    14. Recompile the app again into a deployable Jar. It works!
    By the way, you get the same experience with another Sun sample: the DraggableMP3Player at
    http://javafx.com/samples/DraggableMP3Player/index.html
    That, too, thinks it's implementing it's own close button, and again the same problem occurs.
    So it seems Stage.close() doesn't properly close the applet, and only the the little X in a box will do this.
    I'd like to be able to really close the applet from my own code. How can I do this?
    Many thanks
    Nik

    After double tap home button, swipe up on the app card that appears above the icon.

    Go to 'System Settings' -> 'Application Appearance' -> 'Style' -> 'Fine Tuning' and change 'Menubar style' to 'Only export'. Just checked, works fine with qt applications.
    I'm not sure about gtk apps, though. I recall reading somewhere that, in addition to installing appmenu-gtk and its dependencies, one needed to specify something in the .gtkrc and/or .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file(s). Well that or my memory might just be playing tricks on me.
    EDIT:
    If for some reason gtk apps refuse to export their menus, you might want to look at this webupd8 article. Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.

    Hello!
    I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
    Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
    I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
    things I have tried and they still not help:
    # drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
    # driver settings, low latency, high latency
    # asio and different settings
    # pluging the interface to another usb socket.
    # trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
    # updated bios
    # turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
    # checked IRQ list
    pops still appear.
    my config:
    Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
    Win XP Home SP3
    Celeron M 1,5GHz
    896Mb ram
    M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
    Kind regards

    Thanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
    I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
    Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

    .When installing a CD/album into my library some of the tracks get separated away from the main group of tracks. I try to click and drag the stragglers to the main group but it doesn't work. My laptop is using Windows 8. My old XP laptop didn't have this problem. I'm not sure if that has any thing to do with it. Any ideas would be appreciated. It's more of an irritation than a problem but if it can be solved, it would be a good thing. Thanks!         Paul 

    Hey Paul,
    If I understand correctly, it sounds like iTunes is not grouping the songs from a particular CD together. The cause could be something as minor as a misspelling or slight variations. For more information, see the following resource:
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

  • "Move Current Track Automation Data to Region" doesn't work for all

    I have been using the 'Move Current Track Automation Data to Region' and while it works fine for some types of automation data like channel volume, pan and some plugin parameters, it doesn't work for all of them.
    I haven't done exhaustive research into which parameters work and which don't, but most of the parameters for individual voices within Ultrabeat don't - which is annoying as that is what I was trying to use it for.
    Any ideas about this, or workarounds?

    OK, well an update on this in case anyone's interested.
    With some further experimentation I have discovered that this problem did not exist in Logic 7 - ie you can move current track automation data for individual Ultrabeat voices to the region.
    It's also possible to move automation data for individual Ultrabeat voices using 'Move All Track Automation Data to Region,' so I suppose this is a kind of workaround, though it can be annoying if you don't want to move all track automation data.
    I'm now assuming this is a bug in Logic 8; is there any way to convert a Logic 8 project to work in Logic 7, as this along with the touch tracks bug is making working in Logic 8 very frustrating?
