If you’re a jungledisk user on linux, and you put junglediskdesktop in your Startup Applications you may receive unusual errors when you log in.
Such errors are:
- The jungledisk tray icon does not appear
- The jungledisk window floats and cannot be closed
- The jungledisk app gives unusual errors
The problem appears to be that there’s a race condition where junglediskdesktop starts before Gnome is ready to handle it as a tray app.
Workaround:
- Create a text file with gedit (or your editor of choice)
- In the file, enter these two lines:
#!/bin/bash sleep 3 && /usr/local/bin/junglediskdesktop
You’ll need to make your new script executable, so at a terminal do:
chmod +x filename
Now, in startup applications, use your new script instead of junglediskdesktop.
What this script does:
It ‘sleeps’ for 3 seconds before starting the junglediskdesktop application.
Doing that allows Gnome to be ready to handle junglediskdesktop correctly.
Note:
It’s my opinion that this is an issue with junglediskdesktop itself (not waiting for Gnome to be ready) rather than an issue with the Gnome itself.
