[Bug 1122853] Re: Clicking the xchat indicator starts a new instance
Flock doesn't seem to be needed, this worked for me... sed -i 's/\(--existing \)%U/\1-c '\''gui show'\''/' /usr/share/applications/hexchat.desktop Essentially it just changes... hexchat --existing %U To... hexchat --existing -c 'gui show' The '--existing' part is meant to run a URL or a command in an existing copy of HexChat - so the %U is interpreted as a URL it doesn't comprehend so I think that makes the whole '--existing' argument invalid (so it opens a whole new copy, as though '--existing' wasn't specified). But putting '--existing -c' makes it run a command, that command being to bring the window to the foreground. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1122853 Title: Clicking the xchat indicator starts a new instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xchat-indicator/+bug/1122853/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1122853] Re: Clicking the xchat indicator starts a new instance
Indicator will reload modified desktop file after reboot (or at least logout/logon) The only hardcoded command is xchat.desktop, so if it works for dash, it should work for indicator either P.S.

[Bug 1122853] Re: Clicking the xchat indicator starts a new instance
@Oleg Your workaround works, but you should note it only works when launching from the shortcut in the application menu (Unity dash), if you open it from the indicator it still launches a new instance. Unfortunately the indicator most likely has the command hard coded into it so there's probably no way to apply this workaround to it, if anyone has an idea how it would be greate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1122853 Title: Clicking the xchat indicator starts a new instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xchat-indicator/+bug/1122853/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1122853] Re: Clicking the xchat indicator starts a new instance
Looks like xchat-indicator works like it should, the problem is somewhere between messaging menu and xchat (xchat can't use the same instance, it create new one every time you start it, and messaging menu doesn't care) Here is my workaround 1) open /usr/share/applications/xchat.desktop with a text editor 2) comment line Exec= 3) add new line: Exec=sh -c flock -n -x /var/run/lock/xchat.lock -c xchat || xchat --existing -c 'gui show' Hope this helps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1122853 Title: Clicking the xchat indicator starts a new instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xchat-indicator/+bug/1122853/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
