The problem with SlimTray has not gone away and it is not clear to me why it has happened since source code is the same - all I can think of is a new library has been installed.
However I can explain what is happening and suggest a workaround. AFAICT The problem only happens when Slimserver is installed with the "automatic startup" unchecked or after installation when the two "Automatic" options on the Slimtray are unchecked. In this confguration when SlimTray starts Slim.exe - it starts it as a process not as a service. Every 10 secs SlimTray checks for Slim.exe running and updates the slimtray icon accordingly. For some reason in the above non Automatic configuration SlimTray gets confused and thinks Slim.exe is running when it is not and so the offered command options and icon display are all based on thinking that Slim.exe running. The workaround to get Slimserver running. If you right click SlimTray you will get a "Stop Slimserver" option - click this and then within 10 secs right click SlimTray again - now you will have a "Start Slimserver" option which will start Slimserver. After 10 secs the faulty process detection code will run and SlimTray will display Slimserver running now matter what. I have a pet theory that that there is a version problem with an extern library Win32::process::List but since I don't know what libraries are installed in SlimDevices, I cannot reproduce it. I rebuilt SlimTray (to get rid of a memory leak problem) using the SlimTray code with small mods for the new version of the library and had no problem. My bug fix was posted to bugzilla but I think it is being ignored because SlimTray is being updated for V7.0 (e.g. proper language support) and different solution to my fixes have already been applied. Personally I think it is better for effort to spent on 7.0 rather than on 6.5 since there is a workaround. If it is really annoying - then log a bug. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33686 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
