Thunar 0.8.0 (+ Xfce 4.4.0) For B3/ii13

[kkazakov13]

I would've thought Zaurus users would still need to use some of the matchbox applets such as the screen blanker, Light and Power settings etc. or does xfce 4.4.0 fully account for PDA users too? Otherwise, are the mb-applets compatible with the xfce panel or must we still run mb-panel as well?

So far I haven't managed to start mb applets on xfce. I'm searching for information on this. However, I rebuilt once more xfdesktop, and I should have icons on the desktop possibility, but still don't have it  Have to read more on this, though.

Thanks for the fast updates kkazakov! Sounds like this will be well worth the wait (not that its been long

[kkazakov13]

I'm trying to get icon desktops, from the readme i need thunar-vfs, will check this. Also on quit menu i'm thinking to replace some of the functions there (or add maybe) , i don't need shut down options, would replace it with "suspend" that works on pdax.

p.p. I'm definately thinking that this will be _my_ desktop / window manager , and will try to get it perfectly running.

Hi kkazakov13,

I have download and installed all the package present on your ftp.

When i launch startxfce4 the gui run well but i have two problem :
- it's in portrait mode (i have a slC1000).
- the taskbar disappear after loading itself.

I run PdaxII13 for nand.

Thank you in advance !!

[kkazakov13]

The portrait mode should be fixed, but for C1000 i don't know. startxfce4 normally changes it, but I think I saw something for c1000 and xfce on Chero's site.

About the taskbar - open terminal and start it from console - xfce4-panel , and check errors. Probably you're missing some library.




Other news: I could not get thunar-vfs up and running  it requires HAL >= 0.5 to work, but HAL requires kernel 2.6.x and some other things ... which we don't have in b3 setup. Crap. Any ideas ?

mb-applets : make sure you have a systray running, they should appear in it. To load them at startxfce4 : add them to autostarted applications.

icons : check desktop-settings/behavour.

I already searched there. What should I find? Seems something _IS_ missing, however:

HAL dependence was the main reason behind me failing to get a recent Thunar/XFCE version going last time I tried I think. I was hoping this necessity would've been dropped to get desktop support in Thunar 0.8.0 but obviously not  No icons would be a big loss to its viability as a rox desktop replacement. This would obviously be no problem for the new pdaX, but that probably still won't have any hardware accelerated graphics on cxx00.

The only mb taskar applets I'm really bothered about are the card applet (this is the main one for me, mainly used for turning on/off wifi) the screen blanker and the menu one, maybe. Does the card applet work OK?

Hey... I'm building these packages for the pdaxrom-builder...

So... I will prolly be releasing a version of pdaxrom with solely xfce instead of fbpanel and openbox...

You're right about mb-applets : some work just fine, others don't. There are replacements for some of them (xfce4-panel-plugins or launchers)

Desktop items : have to be enabled during compile-time. Check ./configure output.

Seems you're not following me. I told you that thunar-vfs requires HAL, but HAL requires kernel 2.6.x. and xfdesktop with icons requires thunar-vfs. I already tried enabling all possible options without luck.

EDIT: I'm rebuilding xfdesktop *again* ... hope this time with the correct stuff.
EDIT2: Ok, it might require my D-Bus after all ... at least bigger than 0.36, and the default one is 0.21. I have D-Bus in another thread (about the bluetooth one), but might upload it as well.

Finally did it, here are 2 shots:

files are in http://wasp.drun.net/zaurus/xfce-4.4/

( you don't need devel/ directory, except rebuilding something )

it requires my dbus package, in order to work. Tried with original one, but failed with missing stuff. Please remove original dbus package and install my dbus and dbus-glib

I'm working on customizations now, want all keys to work as in ROX. When I re-upload stuff, will let you know.

This is great work, kkazakov!

Look forward to trying this out soon on my 3200....

PS.  I really like your car and house in the photos. You must be a very successful Zaurus developer, right??

 

[danboid]

WOW!!!

       

[kkazakov13]

Yeah  I wish this was my car ...

the only problem I have now is this (when starting xfce, and when clicking on trash without Thunar already running):

Still trying to solve, this is the only bug left. It's something D-Bus related, but don't know what yet ...
