Thank You for info!

I've tested new versions, everything built and installed fine. Mate-1.7.90 works nice in all my computers, however I am missing sticky notes applet. It seems it is not available, I hope only temporarily, as it is most used after battery monitor and clock :eek:

*EDIT*
I was able to get sticky notes applet back, by rebuilding mate-applets-1.7.90 package from extra and then reinstalling it. Maybe it is possible that mate-build-extra.sh is building it too early? So some applets fail, but if I rebuild this package again, after rest of the mate is installed, then all the applets are present and works fine.

I was able to build everything in base and extra. Will be testing those packages shortly. However, were you able to build yelp? I installed the latest webkitgtk from SBo, but the build quites complaining about:
Code:

No package 'webkitgtk-3.0' found
Just wondering.

willysr 02-19-2014 04:34 PM

You need webkitgtk3 :)

Thanks for the bug report
I just checked the source and it seems it requires libgtop and gtksourceview to be present for some applets to be built
I will re-arrange the mate-build-extra.sh so that mate-applets will be build later on

Actually, I did install it and it still complained. I will take a look again and see what happened. Building webkitgtk took a very long time to build.

willysr 02-19-2014 10:09 PM

i have rearranged the order in mate-build-extra.sh so that all deps are now built first
i'm rebuilding everything on my clean VM right now
hopefully all is working great :)

Bah! I just caught on to the difference between webkitgtk and webkitgtk3. Sorry about that. I think I need new eye glasses.

stormtracknole 02-20-2014 01:44 PM

willy,

Did you adjust the testing directory? I noticed that all the directories there are empty with the exception of yelp. Did you intend to do that?

willysr 02-20-2014 03:12 PM

Yes, it's all empty now
Pam and pam_unix2 are no longer needed and mate-screensaver is now moved to extra

The only thing left is yelp

Oh, good to know.

I can report right of the bat that the black underline issue from QT based applets on the panel is gone.

willysr 02-20-2014 06:12 PM

What theme do you use?
Some people still see it from certain themes, especially a light theme

Totoro-kun 02-21-2014 01:28 AM

It seems to me, that it doesn't matter which theme I use (tried all the themes I have), that black space is always there. On darker themes it is harder to see, that's all :) It's probably a leftover bug from gnome2. But it is interesting, that it happens not for all people, meaning there has to be some factor to bring out this behavior. Like I use Slack without KDE, so my QT apps are styled only by using System -> Settings -> QT4 Config (not sure if that makes any difference, but still).

willysr 02-21-2014 01:38 AM

yeah, it's DE spesific bug i guess...
anyway, i hope the re-arranged mate-build-extra should fix the sticky note applet problem :)
