@Dmitry, @Ross: I do remember qjackctl from before only allowing singltons :) one could close qjackctl to the systray and start it again from the menu with the result of two qjackctls. That while annoying, is not a real problem provided the user is using jackdbus as it is ok to have more than one

OK - that re-factoring (Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11) was listed in the release notes to 0.4.1. I am not sure that allowing more than one Qjackctl instance is a good idea. Some audio applications require JACK to be running, and other start it themselves. This may

Looks like the purpose of that code is to make the application singleton. There are lots of solutions for this task that do not require X11. Here is a very small library that qjackctl can probably use or embed: https://github.com/itay-grudev/SingleApplication. As a quick and temporary fix, maybe

@Len, I could not reproduce it on my own system with Xfce installed, but I can now reproduce it on Xubuntu daily CD. According to D-Bus monitor, qjackctl doesn't even create a tray icon before everything hangs. Looking at the code, I suppose such behavior may be a result of this call in

Disabling the system tray completely seems a bit of a backwards step. Like you, I am no QT expert. Although it is on my to-do list to learn. So if anyone can help identify what makes Ubuntu Studio freeze if Qjackctl was minimised before upgrade, it would be appreciated. Otherwise, uploading the

Hmm, maybe for now just set ./configure --enable-system-tray=no or --disable-system-tray Honestly, I use the system tray settings with qjackctl all the time. I just don't have the screen real estate to deal with it. Screen 1 has the editor window and meter bridge and screen 2 has the mixer panel

Ross: "we would have to advise users to manually edit their conf file to set StartMinimised to false." They may not be able to. A not uncommon use of qjackctl is to have it set to start with session in order to run jack at that time. So the user upgrades, reboots and finds they can't do

Reboot did get me a nice icon, but running qjackctl with "Start minimized to tray" still locks all screen input. It is interesting that with "Enable system tray icon" selected it is fine, I can start and stop with no problems. It is the Start minimized to tray option that causes trouble. Perhaps

A new debdiff with appmenu-qt5 demoted to "recommends". If appmenu-qt5 disappears from the archive, Qjackctl is still useable for people that minimise to the system tray (via the drop down indicator menu), but the icon shown in the tray is a red cross instead of reflecting the "stopped"/"started"

@ Dmitry. I was just reading the discussion in Ubuntu-devel and wondering what to do. Without appmenu-qt5, the menu works from the systray, but the icon is not animated. It just shows a red cross all the time, which is misleading for the user. So I guess we could just recommend it, and then it

Actually there are two problems here. 1) The menu I have taken a look at qjackctl code. It makes some really wrong assumptions about how the system tray icons work. In particular, it doesn't call the tray icon's contextMenu(), but instead intercepts the events and tries to draw a custom menu.
