ponce · 02-14-2011, 02:12 PM

maybe should be better to post here the links to the resulting pages

interndan · 02-14-2011, 02:16 PM

Ok I've never used pastebin how do I post a link?

ponce · 02-14-2011, 02:19 PM

it's not complete, some packages (the ones before bind) got cutted, and I cannot check if all needed stuff is there.
besides that the xinitrc files look ok.

if you like, try also with my prebuilt packages.

ah, please also check if /etc/rc.d/rc.hald and /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus are executable, and also if your user is in the default groups for desktop use

Code:

$ grep ponce /etc/group
floppy:x:11:ponce
audio:x:17:ponce
video:x:18:ponce
cdrom:x:19:ponce
plugdev:x:83:ponce
power:x:84:ponce
netdev:x:86:ponce

New past with all: http://pastebin.com/mzT6ZLNM

groups

Code:

bash-4.1# grep danny /etc/group
disk:x:6:root,adm,danny
floppy:x:11:danny
audio:x:17:danny
video:x:18:danny
cdrom:x:19:danny
plugdev:x:83:danny
power:x:84:danny
netdev:x:86:danny

and the two files are executable.

sorry Danny, looks like they're still not all the packages: my 13.1 install with lxde starts like this

Code:

/var/log/packages/ConsoleKit-20100129-i486-1
/var/log/packages/GConf-2.28.1-i486-1ponce
/var/log/packages/M2Crypto-0.19.1-i486-2
/var/log/packages/MPlayer-20100218-i486-1
/var/log/packages/ORBit2-2.14.19-i486-1ponce
/var/log/packages/PyQt-4.7.3-i486-1
/var/log/packages/QScintilla-2.4.3-i486-1
/var/log/packages/a2ps-4.14-i486-3
/var/log/packages/aaa_base-13.1-i486-2
/var/log/packages/aaa_elflibs-13.1-i486-1

tell me how it's gone with the prebuilt ones

Ok, this is a testing box I'm working on. I am running a custom kernel, maybe something broke in my kernel compile. I will do another full install then try LXDE again. Which is the best option, use your prebuilt packages, or try again with sbopkg ?

ponce · 02-14-2011, 03:10 PM

ideally should be the same: I built them a few days ago on a fresh installed 13.1.

interndan · 02-14-2011, 03:18 PM

Thanks again. will repost after fresh install.

ponce · 02-14-2011, 03:21 PM

I would check also if automount works under kde (just to add it to the checklist of things to try).

I just did a fresh clean install of Slackware 13.1 and used sbo package with your queue to install LXDE. while checking things I found PCMan still does not find a usb drive. However, if I open Thunar or dolphin from the menu both list the drive and will access it. I had not noticed that behavior before, it didn't cross my mind to check. Maybe I did a fresh install for nothing.My output of /var/log/packages does match yours now.

EDIT

I just discovered it is now mounting usb drive under /media/disk. I do not however have an option to safely remove or unmount. It doesn't show in the side panel of PCMan as it does in Thunar. I don't know if that is normal or not.

On a separate note the latest version of lxpanel for Slackware64-current is back to battery applet not reporting correctly, while AC is not connected. I opened the batt_sys.c and it looks like the patch (Bug3006059)
[lxde/lxpanel] / src / plugins / batt / batt_sys.c is now coded in there. Did you revert both line 150 and 215 to pre-patch to fix last time?
