Description Fabian Wannenmacher 2011-09-03 14:19:32 CEST
Description of problem:
If you start boinc_gui with a connected client there is no menu bar. It appears when you resize the window. This happens only if you start the manager at the same position you have started it the last time.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.10.58

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start boinc-client
2. change into an Folder with a gui_rpc_auth.cfg file with your password
3. start boinc_gui (Not with kstart or something similar.)
=> There is no menu bar.

Workaround: Resize the window.

Not a real problem. But it dosn't look nice.

Pinging, because nothing has happened with this report for more than 3 months, it still has the status NEW or REOPENED.


@ Tomáš

Please set status to ASSIGNED if you think this bug was assigned correctly. If for work flow reasons you can't do that, then please put OK on the whiteboard instead.

I think the problem needs to be reported upstream, as there is
nothing the packager can do about it.

One of the problems with boinc, is that there are so many ways
it can be started.

Experimenting with different ways of starting it could cause
problems for the boinc project, making it very difficult to
qa test.

I've been running boinc since it became available, as a replacement
for seti-athome, and it's been working fine.

I'm updating bug 1690 to get it pushed to updates.

@ Fabian

I don't have time to look good, please search upstream whether this is a known issue

maybe here:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_forum.php?id=10

and if it isn't, please report it

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ReportBugs

and give us feedback

Thanks :)

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

In Mageia 2, this problem is still present.
In Mageia 3, the problem is fixed.

Comment 8 Olivier Mondoloni 2013-02-18 18:15:48 CET
Perhaps, a problem with wxGTK update and boinc-client package not recompiled against.
Comment 9 Olivier Mondoloni 2013-03-01 16:08:53 CET
I fixed two bugs in boinc-client package ( bug 9108 https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9108 and bug 9109 https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9109 ).
I also find that the boinc_gui missing menu_bar problem is fixed in the boinc Mageia3 package ( boinc-manager-7.0.36-2.mga3.x86_64.rpm ).
I try to backport to my Mageia 2 system ( Xfce x86_64 ) all of the version 7.0.36-2 of boinc packages.
It was a success.
After repackaging the 7.0.36-2 version, I now be able to use the BOINC Manager with no problem on my Mageia 2 system.
That's great really.
Comment 10 Damien Lallement 2014-02-28 01:34:58 CET
Mageia 2 is no more supported.
Closing.
