Hide Forgot
If I start liferea from the GNOME shell, it shows up in ps faux | grep life, but the gui isn't there. If I then try to start it from the terminal, it immediately pops up, and there's still only one liferea process running. This is the only application that I've found that behaves this way on f20 so far. liferea-1.10.3-1.fc20
FWIW, I have no issues starting liferea from the GNOME shell.
Jon, are you still having problems starting liferea with 1.0.6 (it's in updates-testing)?
I've recently become familiar with a liferea behavior that pretty much looks like "its started and the process is there but it doesn't show up all all". It happens when the last window state saved in the config is 3, MAINWINDOW_HIDDEN or 2 MAINWINDOW_ICONIFIED, where it also starts but just as an icon in the tray (which is pretty much "hidden" in shell) What steps lead to the last window being in that state I am not sure. To get back to normal one can: $ gsettings set net.sf.liferea last-window-state 0
I still see the same behaviour as in the description. The problem is that it's intermittent. Sometimes it's normal and sometimes it does what I describe, and if I have to give it a boost from the terminal, it doesn't remember the window layout or feed selection.
This seems to be a known issue that I also suffer from. See: https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/issues/3 The quick solution at present is to do: 'Tools->Prefernces->' then goto ' GUI' tab and turn off 'Show a status icon in the notification area (system tray).'
This is no longer intermittent, and Phil's workaround works.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
