Thanks, I can confirm that with today's code changes /usr/lib/vala-panel/appmenu-registrar -r can be launched and no longer terminates. Unlike with previous releases, it now is necessary to explicitly (auto-) start the registrar. Previously it was started by the plugin (maybe the respective code now should be removed from the plugin's code if it has not happened yet? Or fix it to have it automatically started again?)

bus thing should fixed now in latest registrar. You can try again, and it should not terminated after 10 seconds if referenced.

When registrar is already running, I get an error message when I try to start a second instance (not surprising). When it is not running and I start /usr/lib/vala-panel/appmenu-registrar (either with --reference or without) it terminates after about 8 to 10 seconds. Exit code to the shell is 0. I am not sure whether or not this is normal behaviour when launching the registrar from the shell nor how I could further investigate the reason for that behaviour.

You can, just run /usr/lib/vala-panel/appmenu-registrar. You can add it to autostart, or just use it with console. It actually has commandline options. You need to use --reference option.

I'm confused now. I do not explicitly start the registrar binary. From what I understand it is started through /usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/libappmenu-xfce.so How should I add that command line option?

Okay, it is strange, but will try to investigate. For a workaround, can you add --reference parameter to your registrar's autostart?

OK, I removed bamf from the system and reinstalled (recompiled) vala-panel-appmenu-xfce-git and vala-panel-appmenu-registrar-git to ensure the builds are not "tainted". However, the problem of registar not running on the first login after reboot remains with both the latest code as well as with aa25801b (where I have removed the dependency on BAMF from the PKGBUILD file). So it seems removing the dependency on BAMF from vala-panel-appmenu-xfce triggers the behavior of registrar not running on first login after reboot. For the aa25801b build it is decisive wether or not bamf is present on the system at compile time (and of course runtime, too). If so, registrar does run on first login after reboot, if not it does not (only on subsequent logins).

rilian commented on 2024-03-23 11:24 (UTC)

How removing BAMF related to registrar, I unsure. Can you build an earlier vala-panel-appmenu without libbamf?

gschwarz commented on 2024-03-22 21:20 (UTC)

Another bug I noticed which occurs with the latest version of vala-panel-appmenu-xfce, but not with aa25801b (did not extensively try the commits in between): For both Firefox-appmenu as well as for Chromium, not the first (leftmost) title bar item is displayed in bold (if that option has been ticked), but the last (rightmost) one. This not only happens unter certain circumstances, but apparently now always for at least those two applications. It's surely somehow related to https://gitlab.com/vala-panel-project/vala-panel-appmenu/-/issues/377

gschwarz commented on 2024-03-22 20:07 (UTC)

After installing and testing the code I can now report that the bug occurs with 57144e2d (and later). aa25801b is the last commit which does not exhibit that behaviour. The commit "at fault" is entitled "all: get rid from BAMF".
