Xfce 4.11

ReaperX7 · 02-20-2015, 05:08 PM

Pat will probably insert 4.12 into -Current after it's released and he can get some scripts tested. I'd wait.

It would be fine.

I'm using your Xfce 4.11 packages for 5 or 6 months in two machines,
one with -current (32bit) and another with 14.1 (64bit) and it's all right,
I don't remember any critical bugs.

Yes, I will released a XFCE 4.12 slackbuild as soon as XFCE 4.12 is released.

And maybe, just maybe, XFCE 4.12 will be added to Slackware-current.

Woo, thanks! I've updated to 4.12 using your script with no issues on 14.1 64.

Hi mpla

Thanks for this. I just updated to xfce4-12 and it works fine. Only problem was the compilation of an old plugin (for xfce4-notes).

Compilation threw an error as described here:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10974

After trying the patch proposed by Samuli Suominen

Code:

--- libxfcegui4/xfce-exec.c
+++ libxfcegui4/xfce-exec.c
@@ -79,7 +79,7 @@
 #ifndef G_OS_WIN32
     gchar *dpyname = user_data;
     
-    xfce_setenv ("DISPLAY", dpyname, TRUE);
+    g_setenv ("DISPLAY", dpyname, TRUE);
 #endif
 }

I managed to get notes compiled and working.

Note that the xfce people will not change this in their source:

libxfcegui4 has been deprecated since 4.8 and was moved to the repository archive ages ago. If you want or need to continue supporting it, you'll have to ship the patch in your distro. We're no longer pushing changes to libxfcegui4, sorry.

Hope this might help others running into similar problems.

Cheers,

Hi mlpa,

Thanks for the slackbuilds. I'm in the process of building and noticed a little typo in the libunique slackbuild.
In the makepkg line there is a dollar sign to much: $BUILD$
The last should not be there I presume ?

Thanks,
Philip

On my machine (Slackware64-current), Thunar crashes when I drag and drop a directory into an other (or a file into a directory).

I've got no ideas if it's related to the current state of Slackware (new toolchain) or if it's due to this new release...

Yes, same here (on Slackware64-current as well)

EDIT: attached is the backtrace I got after starting thunar in a terminal. The crash was not immediate anymore...., only after a couple of tries moving one folder into another....

Thanks mlpa

so far working without problems.

I reproduced this just once (Slackware32-current), with two windows side by side dragging one dir to another.
Other couple of times (dir to dir and file to dir) were ok, without problems.

I don't use Thunar (for me Dolphin is better) so I can't say how often it crashes with that problem.

Richard Twat · 03-02-2015, 03:11 PM

I've been playing a bit with this on 14.1 32bit and 64bit and it seems to work great.
Thanks for this great effort !

I also got his issue.
I will try to find a solution.
Thanks for the notice.

Re the Thunar bug, see https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11450 (comment #65 by some random guy) :-)

Added a build for dbus 1.6.18.
I am currently testing this (possible) fix.

Thanks @rworkman

Use 1.6.30 (the latest release). However, I think there's more to it - some people are using later 1.6.x releases and still seeing crashes, although it's not clear how often they're seeing them. I think there are at least two different bugs at play here - see my later comment on the bug report for details.
