Broken Dock Applet MATE

[VentGrey]

Hello again Debian users, now i have a very weird problem, it seems that the

Code: Select all

mate-dock-applet

is not working as it should, and by that i mean it's not working at all, i went to github page and met the mentioned dependencies, however everytime i click the add button it just does not work, dock never appears, not a single notification, nothing, it's like a ghost click im very sure i hve these libs as mentioned on the github page.

Code: Select all

Python3
gir1.2-wnck-1.0
libglib2-dev
Python Imaging Library
Python 3 Cairo bindings

I do not know what went wrong since on my previous Testing install i "magically" got it working, is there a way to debug an applet from terminal so i can see what is wrong?

Fixed the problem by installing the following packages.

Code: Select all

mate-desktop-environment-extra
mate-netbook

I dunno, maybe GTK_DEBUG could help? you can export it your enviro vars with

Code: Select all

 export GTK_DEBUG=enable

before opening your application. Just not to familiar with what you can do after wards... but I would start with that...

Edit: sorry didnt see you fixed it! Cheers!

Those things you list are only the build-dependencies. The package is in Debian testing at a recent 0.75 version, and the runtime dependencies are listed as

Code: Select all

Package: mate-dock-applet
...
Depends: gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0,
         gir1.2-glib-2.0,
         gir1.2-gtk-3.0,
         gir1.2-mate-panel (>= 1.14.0),
         gir1.2-wnck-3.0,
         libglib2.0-bin,
         mate-panel (>= 1.14),
         python3,
         python3-gi-cairo,
         python3-pil,
         python3-xdg,
         ${misc:Depends},
         ${python3:Depends},

Rebuilding proper Debian "deb" packages from already debianized source packages almost always renders your kind of problem solved before you even encounter it.
