[SOLVED] xfce4-systemload-plugin does not work after install

blackdragonblood · 04-16-2011, 04:06 PM

I am new to Slackware and I'm trying to build and install a package from source. I thought xfce4-systemload-plugin would be neat to have. I found the link to the source at http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/pan...temload-plugin. I struggled all the way through making the package and installing the package using "installpkg". When I try to add the plugin to my panel I don't see it in the "Add New Items" window as I expected.

My issue sounds similar to http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...plugin-220030/.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Are you sure you generated a package? There is a SlackBuild for xfce4-systemload-plugin at slackbuilds.org. You can use sbopkg to easily build the package you want.

I guess I'm not sure I generated a package.

I didn't find the slackbuild when I searched for if for some reason. I'll use that instead. Thanks for you help.
