Hi,
Now and again the Tint2 panel disappears, I can only assume it has crashed. I tried the menu shortcuts to reload/restart Tint2 but it doesn’t reappear.
The ways to get it working seem to be either apply a different theme, or even a full reboot.
Is there any log file for Tint2? Thanks
Hi @agaskew,
Can you please share the problematic tint2 config you use?
For testing you can try to run tint2 from a terminal, like:
tint2 -c ~/.config/tint2/your_tint2_config.tint2rc
and see messages.
Later, for normal operation in Mabox you need to choose tint2 from Menu → Mabox Config → Tint2 Panels → Choose Tint2…
I think its gruvbox.tintrc

Thanks… better command for testing…
Something like:
tint2 -c ~/.config/tint2/broken_test.tint2rc &> ~/tint2.log &
It writes stdout and stderr to file.
Playing with this config for a while… no crash so far.

I’ll give that a try thanks. Not sure how to induce the panel to disappear but let’s see.
No more crashes so far, I guess that’s a good thing
