Description Lewis Smith 2018-12-08 14:52:02 CET

Description of problem:
M7beta1 early Dec 2018 5 desktop install from Classic ISO.
Launching the application from the Gnome 'menu' goes nowhere. It works from other desktops (Plasma, Mate, XFCE; cannot find it in LXDE).
Do not know the equivalent command to try it from a terminal for more info.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
As above. Cannot find the pkg name for its ID.

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try launching the application from Gnome Activities menu or search result.

"Openbox is a window manager for the X11 windowing system."

Should it be possible to open its configuration manager in Gnome? (Wayland, right?)

I believe you're talking about obconf.

Never tried it in other DE's other than Openbox/X11, so I've no clue if it should work with Wayland.

Cheers,
Stig

Thanks Stig; 'obconf' it is!
Just tried it from M6 LXDE, it works here too.

Yes, Wayland. Moot point. If it is technically impossible to run it from Gnome (Wayland), its launch icon etc should be removed from Gnome. Not for me to judge.
I will try the command from a terminal to get some O/P. Later, but soon.

From Gnome:
 $ obconf
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Comment 5 Stig-Ørjan Smelror 2018-12-14 20:14:37 CET

I see the same and believe Wayland is the cause. I've no idea if this can be fixed.

Cheers,
Stig

M7beta3 6 desktop Classic 64-bit install, real hardware, GNOME from SDDM (I think Wayland).
 obconf-2.0.4-8.mga7

It *does* now start correctly from both the menu, and command line:
 $ obconf
 $
