Thunar 0.8.0 (+ Xfce 4.4.0) For B3/ii13

[baallrog]

Yeah !!
Good news !!!

can you plz (you or someone) tell us how to install, what to install ...

I install all the package but perhaps some are not necessary to run xfce !!
And another things : dependances ...

I have fix my problems but i don't know what packages ...

[kkazakov13]

If you really want it useful, better wait for a bit more complete packages. Not that it doesn't work right now, I use it, but still, few packages will be repackaged very soon. Otherwise - install everything from here - http://wasp.drun.net/zaurus/xfce-4.4/ ,  without devel/ directory. It's your choice if you intall xfprint* and also *plugin* files. But the rest I think are almost all required.

Be aware that my dbus and dbus-glib packages is different than the default dbus! I'm using it, but you might break something else that depends on the old one.

You should remove dbus and install those two first, then the rest packages.

Happy experimenting


P.P. Something else that does not work - switching between portrait and landscape does not call xrandr, will have to check this too.

I Test your work since the beginning of this post !
And the result is very interesting !
Xfce is speed and nice !

Thunar has gone mad one time ... don't know why !
I was trying to access my /home/root directory ...

I think i will try the news version tomorow.

Thank you !!!!

what are xfce4 library requirements? what packages should I install to have it working?

[kkazakov13]

Remove default libpng 1.2.5 , install mine, 1.2.12.
Remove dbus , install dbus and dbus-glib from my site.

install vte from the official feed.

Then install all of the rest packages wherever you have some place.
If you want - don't install some of the plugins, and xfprint.

start with starxfce4.

that's all for this version now.

Ok, re-uploaded xfce-utils ... forgot to do it the last time. This fixes the issue with portrait mode and probably some other stuff

I can't download Libpng :

Permission problem ...

Thank you for your work !! Xfce Rocks !!!!

[kkazakov13]

Anyone succeeded in creating launcher icons on the desktop? I have only 3 icons there and can't create more. It crashes when I try ... no output in the window why it crashed

Is anyone running the latest xfce/thunar on their PC who can check that this isn't a pdaX-specific error (that is if others are having this problem too)?

Sounds like you're getting close now but I think I'll hold out a little longer before I install- I want to see what happens with these icons.

Damn, just got nasty server crash while i was just trying to copy text from abiword to text file ... It might be that the server was started remotely via ssh ... but who knows

Anyway ... seems XFCE is significantly slower than ROX  Trying to do some simple tasks like copy/paste/browser/etc was so slow ... and i had nothing started except xfce and 2-3 applets

I compiled it with optimizations ...

[kkazakov13]

How we're progressing on this? Anyone wants to do more on tweaking xfce? I don't have enough time to play with it. I want a working system, and XFCE build seems currently not stable enough to me

I'm back to rox until we can figure out the left stuff. Can't do everything by myself ...

I'm working on it... slowly... all the packages are in pdaxrom-builder and build fine... but I haven't put together a xfce build yet... but in due time... I got my 4gb SD card today in the mail so I will be back on the Z tonight... maybe I will install the packages I built and test things out...

hi kkazakov,

i've installed all your package for xfce4.4
but when i started xfce for my wm,
the desktop icons and "recycle bin warning" dialog displayed, then disappeared quickly.

so there is nothing on the desktop
no icons , no taskbar , no dialog window
only blue background and my mouse pointer

can you help me to find out the cause ?

thanks.
