I sought the advise of the Osmo developers, as below:
"I have been running Osmo v2.4-2 under LinuxMint "Gloria" without problems ever since I installed it. That is, until yesterday. For some reason Osmo has ceased functioning. Clicking on the application icon launches Osmo, inasmuch as another icon appears on the Panel but clicking on that icon does nothing.
I have uninstalled Osmo and reinstalled it but the error remains. Please are you able to guide me as to what may be wrong?"
They suggested I run Osmo in a terminal and post the output to them. I did so, and my reply follows:
"Launching from the terminal returns a flashing cursor but no other output.It does put the Osmo icon on the panel. Clicking on the icon with the left
mouse button to display Osmo does nothing. Clicking on the icon with the right mouse button and choosing each of the options in turn does nothing."
They then suggested that I quit Osmo (or use killall -9 osmo), then backup $HOME/.osmo directory, edit $HOME/.osmo/config.xml and modify the line:
<enable_systray>1</enable_systray>
to
<enable_systray>0</enable_systray>
save the file and run Osmo again (it disables systray). They were not sure if it helps, but it is worth a try. They said further it it if didn't help, there could be some problems with your window manager or your distro.
I did as they suggested and then ran Osmo. This time no icon appeared on thepanel
Looking at System monitor showed that it was Sleeping, so, yes, it did launch.And that is where matters stand at present.
Is anyone on the list able to suggest whether the Window Manager could be at fault and, if so, what I must do to resolve the issue.
