v.2.19.4-rc1 & rc2 no more main menu bar displayed

[joe-rouen]

In both versions (from OBS/JGU) the main menu bar content is not displayed despite the space is well present (it's true for all windows with menu bar). We have to click blindly in the menu bar space for opening a menu entry.
It was not the case with the previous several v.2.19.3.
Tested under the new Linux Mint 22 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) Cinnamon 6.2.9 (64-bit). For the time being I can't test it under other OSes.

Now the Purr Data menu bar under v.2.19.4-rc2 (OBS/JGU purr-data-2.19.4.r5108.2f69601d-1-x86_64) is well displayed under Manjaro Linux 24.0.6 (Arch Linux) Cinnamon (6.2.7) 64-bit. So no menu issue here.

When the Ubuntu Studio 24.04.1 upgrade (from 22.04.4) will be available I will test it too.

Sounds like a GTK theming issue on Mint for me. Purr Data uses Chromium as its underlying GUI toolkit, so there might be something out of whack there. The upgrade to nw.js 0.42.0 on Linux might also play a role. You could try a different nw.js version, like 0.28.3 (the one we used previously) or 0.67.0 (the "last known good" version on Linux). They can be downloaded from https://dl.nwjs.io/. Use the -sdk-*-linux-x64 package (e.g., https://dl.nwjs.io/v0.67.0/nwjs-sdk-v0.67.0-linux-x64.tar.gz) and replace /opt/purr-data/lib/pd-l2ork/bin/nw with the contents of the directory in the downloaded tarball). Good luck! Albert

Well, effectively GTK theming could be an issue with LM 22. More to read e.g. here.

nw.js: Comparing Purr Data and Pd-L2Ork we have the following version: 0.42.0 vs 0.67.1.
Following your advise I will test nw.js v.0.67.1 on Purr Data v.2.19.4-rc2 and will see.

LTS to LTS for Ubuntu 24.04.1 upgrade has been postponed to end of August by its development team. So I will test it later on when available.

No luck with nwjs-sdk-v0.67.0-linux-x64.tar.gz!
After moving the content of the downloaded tarball to /opt/purr-data/lib/pd-l2ork/bin/nw Purr Data is not launching.
Trying to run it from a terminal I'm getting:
joe@mint22:~$ purr-data
guidir is /opt/purr-data/lib/pd-l2ork/bin
priority 6 scheduling enabled.
sh: 1: /opt/purr-data/lib/pd-l2ork/bin/nw/nw: Permission denied

So as SuperUser I reviewed/changed in the /opt/purr-data/lib/pd-l2ork/bin/nw folder (0.67.0) the permissions of most folders / files taking the original nw folder as reference. Still no luck.

Putting back the original nw folder (0.42.0) Purr Data is working except of course the main menu bar display.

Any idea how to fix nw.js 0.67.0 issue?

[agraef]

Yeah, there are probably missing permissions in the downloaded tarball. IIRC, you need to set the files world-readable (and the directories and programs world-executable) to make them work. Otherwise, only root will be able to read and execute them. (That's taken care of automatically in the build scripts I'm using.) About the menu bar not displaying: Do you have a screenshot of how it looks like? Do the menu shortcuts work? (E.g., try opening a patch with Ctrl+O.) If that works, then it's most likely just a theming issue. Otherwise it's something more serious.

Oops, sorry, I just realized that this was actually on the issue tracker, and the emails didn't show me the screenies. :)

Yes, it's dark mode, plain and simple, which seems to mess with the themeing. Looks similar in KDE in dark mode for me (using nw.js 0.42.3):

I'll look into it immediately. Maybe I need to upgrade to a newer nw.js version. Thanks for reporting!

[agraef]

Yeah, updating to 0.67.0 resolves it:

I'll commit a fix on testing shortly.

[harshisageek]

hyy everyone i am new here and wish to contribute to this project can someone guide me

[agraef]

@harshisageek You could begin by not hijacking other people's bug reports. ;-)

If you've used Purr Data and are familiar with the code base, then just send a PR and I will look at it.

[agraef]

@joe-rouen Sorry, I was busy with fixing other, unrelated bugs. Now that the testing branch has settled, I'll do another build, so that you can test my fix on Mint. I'll give you a heads-up once the OBS build is done.

[agraef]

@joe-rouen The latest test builds are now available at home:aggraef:test. This should hopefully fix the issue. Can you please grab the package and give it another go on Mint?

[joe-rouen]

@agraef Thank you very much for your help and support. :-)
Effectively your latest purr-data_2.19.4+git5117+e59fa29d-1_amd64.deb test build (with nw.js 0.67.0) has fixed the main menu bar display issue in all windows having a menu.
Tested on my Linux Mint 22.0 (UB 24.04 base) Cinnamon.
