cant open app GEANY IDE from Fluxbox doc

#1 Post by AA BB »

app GEANY has been part of my Fluxbox doc for ages...but today when I click the icon on the FluxBox doc, the icon drops down to the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and I cant get the app window to open. When I click the app icon on the task bar, it terminates the app......Never had this problem before and NEED HELP to fix it ..Thanks

Pls start geany in a terminal and copy back here any error messages. Also might be useful to check that it is actually present:

Code: Select all
