Solving alltray problems on debian / mint / ubuntu
Oldish and great program, things are solvable this way
alltray problem:
alltray was maintained till Karmic
and in newest ubuntu releases it comes in almost unusable 0.71 version
temporary solution:
* still install it normally with
sudo apt-get install -y alltray
sudo apt install libwnck22
* download 0.74 executable 32bit from https://www.dropbox.com/s/frwjwbxyw96crep/alltray-074.zip?dl=0
* download 0.74 executable 64bit from https://www.dropbox.com/s/nt5yiemr3jxldxn/alltray-074_64bit.zip?dl=0
* copy 0.74 executable from here to usr/bin/ with #if needed check permissions of new executable and change them
sudo cp alltray /usr/local/bin/
* copy both libgtop libraries to /usr/lib/ with
sudo cp libgtop* /usr/lib/
* check now new version with (in terminal)
alltray --version
it should now show 0.7.4dev+
* now start alltray with (you do not have to start it from menu)
alltray -a
or best always start it with
Alt+F2 there alltray -a
then click on desired window to put on tray
* advanced
And what is beautiful now, you can connect processes without clicking finding them with
xprop | awk '/PID/ {print $3}' #this will find process PID
alltray -p pidnumber
