Ok, Kde Works; What About Gnome?
« Reply #105 on: June 22, 2005, 04:43:28 am »
@chero

thanks for your advice
your xfce4-panel looks very nice
i still have probs to install panelmenu-plugin:
ipk was installed without any probs
i started xfce4 from a ssh-session to see the messages

trying to add a new item (Xfce4 Panel Menu) to the panel ->

in the ssh-session i can see the following message:
** (xfce4-panel:3180): WARNING **: module /usr/local/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/libbattmon.so cannot be opened: GModule initialization check failed: Incompatible plugin version

the panel disappears

the systray-plugin works now

btw, how can i turn off the taskbar (i can hide it but not turn off)

best regards

1.
The error message is "normal", I have this too, but it doesn't make my panel disappear.
(it's because I tried adding the battery plugin of an older version, which doesn't work as you already noticed). You could get rid of the message by removing /usr/local/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/libbattmon*.

2.
The taskbar : I simply killed it, then saved the session. Now it doesn't come back any longer.
# killall xftaskbar4

IIRC the behaviour of the mouse (delay or keys, which keys) is defined in the .xinitrc

This can be changed via the input helper application, but I don't think it has been changed for the C-1000. (as it is a python application it is easy to open the script and see what's going on).

thanks for pointing us in the right direction,

I didn't even know i had an input helper app on my Z (never needed it), shame on me.

hello,

i installed xfce4. it is really nice and fast. here some dummy questions:

1. how can i add icons to the desktop?

2. how can i rearrange the menu entries? i was not able to do modifications
for the main entries (office, games...)

3. is it possible to add the mb-battery-applet to the panel (instead having it
in the taskbar)?

I don't think you can, but you can use rox-desktop if you want

2.
The menu is generated by the system, you can use locations by changing .desktop files (listed in "applications" ?). Caution : this also affects matchbox !!

3.
Install "systray-plugin"

Ya, Thanks for your help first. I use the following command to solve the problem :
# xrandr -o right

But it seems that I can't save the setting after Quit Xfce.
So where can i add this command in the startup script ?
Thanks.

Yes, I had try, but the screen just up-side down
only these 2 modes i can change.

have you tried "rotate" ?

It's in the menu ("fn" click on the desktop or click on the mouse in the panel), it's located in "other".

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=85163\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

maybe xrandr can help you :
In an aterm :
# xrandr --help  (gives you the help)
I suppose you need :
# xrandr -o 0 (this makes it landscape for me)
If 0 doesn't work, try 1, 2 and 3

When you get it right, try leaving xfce4 with a save of the session. Does it occur again like it was, or is it corrected ?

Anyone else with a C1000 ?

Hope this does the trick,
Chero.

I'd add the command in /home/root/xinitrc.xfce4

right before the line :
xfce4-session

to have a desktop with icons and folders:
disable right-click-on-desktop-background features through settings
launch rox -p=NAMEYOUDLIKETOGIVETOYOURDESKTOPSETUP
right click the new desktop, select backdrop and change tha background
(you can remove xfce4 bg image, since it will be hidden by the rox one)

really gnomish

Hi all,

maybe I ask now stupid questions - but I tried to install the 2 IPKs for the XFCE WM - and than:

-> I can start the WM (startxfce)
-> I got the the questions for the defauls session etc.
-> the WM comes up, curser/mouse and the panel is shown (panel comes up when
    I touched with the cursur...but its empty...)
-> There are no menus or anything else shown......


What is my problem (in this case ;-)


Thanks for any help.

Best regards,
Mario

I suppose your problem (in this case) is related to the .config and .cache located in /home/root.
The ones that are in the packages you installed are from a running session.
Delete .cache
Try again
If it still doesn't work:
Delete .config and download the new one (it's in the thread)
Try again

Good luck
Chero.

cmpayc had the same problem, now it seems to be solved (go a post or ten back).
Maybe he can tell what he did ?

@malik

to install the systray-plugin:
shift+tab->Settings->Taskbar Settings-> uncheck "Show system tray in taskbar"
add new item "Systemtray" to the taskbar
be happy

@chero
the prob with xfce4-panelmenu-plugin killing xfce4-panel-process is still existing
in the ssh-session i started startxfce4 from, i can see the following message
(xfce4-panel:2516): WARNING**: No mime file found for theme Rodent
which file does it mean?
any another idea how to trace this?

best regards
