Xfce4 Finetuning

They do work (at least the ones for beta1).

My panel at the bottom : menu - launchers - taskbar - actionbutton - batterymonitor - clock
My panel at the top : mountplugin - systray(empty) - cpugraph - systemload with memory and swap - clipboard - notes

I'm bit confused (easily done). Can you confirm where you get these apps from?

Thanks.

Download them here : [a href=\"http://users.telenet.be/zaurususer/ipkgs/experimental/]http://users.telenet.be/zaurususer/ipkgs/experimental/[/url]

If you go in the dir for "xfce 4.4 beta2", you can find the xfce-core package and the beta2 versions of orage, mousepad and xarchiver.

I'll upload the rest of the plugins asap.

BTW: don't forget to read "experimental"  

Have fun,
Chero.

hi Chero, wish you had a nice holyday

have you released 4.4 beta2 ipks?

[Dobby]

he said yesterday he will release them asap.

[scoutme]

the fact is that ipk inside the experimental/4.4beta2 are not what they should be.
Maybe he will change them, since thay don't work on beta1

I had the beta-1 cross-compiler setup on my home  box and was compiling xfce 4.4 beta 2. Then this happended :[a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14031&view=findpost&p=140061]this post.[/url]. I expect my new hd to arrive in the next week, but I have quite a busy week or two to come ...

The ipkgs in experimental/4.4beta2 seem to work fine for CXX00 devices running beta3. I see there is a beta3 image provided for CXX0 devices by pgas, maybe that will make the ipkgs run on these devices as well ? I compiled them natively, using the zgcc for beta1 (xfce 4.4 beta1 was compiled using the beta3-compiler). I hoped they would be linked to libiconv that way instead of glibc-iconv, but something else seems to be wrong to make them compatible to the CXX0. I'm sorry for this, but I've tried and I don't have a CXX0 any more so I can't do a native compile on such a device. For now I see only three options :

1. wait untill I have reinstalled my home box, I can crosscompile xfce using the beta1 compiler or the builder (that was the plan before the crash).
2. hope someone else does it, using a CXX0.
3. try beta3 provided by pgas (it might work, then again, it might not)

I can't downgrade to beta1 on my Z right now, I need it for my job too much, sorry for letting CXX0 users down, but please don't make it sound like I don't want to.

If someone tries beta3 and xfce 4.4beta2 on a CXX0, please report success or failure.

The message seems to be : we need the same (stable) beta or rc for all devices.

Thanks,
Chero.

I've mentioned before but thought it relevant to mention again here that I'm running pdaXrom beta 3 with XFCE 4.4 beta 2 on my C3200.

I've installed a few plugins and they seem to be working ok. Once I've completed my analysis I'll post more info.

[scoutme]

be sure I won't think you are not doing it for laziness
I insist only to avoid xfce4-on-zaurus death, since I appreciated all your work on it, and to make other users know about xfce4-on-zaurus status.

Finally, nothing forbid me to work toward compiling it by myself, so I'm in debt with what you did till now.
Keep your time, I'll try to get a working pdaxrom development machine to help you.

Until that moment, I'll bump this post from time to time

I've installed xfce4-battery-plugin and xfce4-netload-plugin but can't find how to run/use them. Any ideas?

Terminal, mousepad, orage and thunar seem to work fine. I needed to install gconf, orbit and vte from the beta 3 feed to get some of them to work, and also libxfce4util as mentioned previously.

Hi.
For now I have to use 4.2. Anyone can explain me how to disconnect for a lan.
I use wavelan plugin, but it's seem take 70%cpu...why?

First, a big thank-you for Chero. Without your work, there's no chance I could figure the whole thing out

I am currently using 4.2.2(tried 4.4beta but was a bit unstable, maybe my mistake). The problem is, I cannot change the menu.xml file using the Properties panel. Whenever I try to choose another menu.xml file by clicking the file-open dialog button, xfce4-panel crashes with a segmentation fault(no other error message). I installed both dbh and libxml2.

Another problem is the key-mapping one, which is described in this this thread.

Anyone any idea?

Make sure you have the hicolor icons installed. I had some instability similar to what you describe and found things a lot better after installing the hicolor ipk.

System crashed for some reason I don't know, re-installed xfce4 basic package, and the menu-editing feature works now. Guess I am happy as long as it works

i forgot the following:

in xinitrc.xfce4 add the following line:

rox --pinboard=(the name you put in before... i.e. MYPINBOARD)

[/b]

this makes the pinboard appear after a reboot automatically. but it is important to type in the same name as before else you will get again this blank desktop with the home folder.

Where should this be put in the xinitrc.xfce4?

If I recall correctly, you can put it on the line after you call xfce4-session, but you can also put it in the Autostart Applications.  I think doing it the latter way might load it a bit slower.
