If this is happening often to you in the same directories, it might be a corrupt file that tumbler is trying to access, a corrupt file in the thumbnail cache - Or tumbler has a bug with this/that/those particular files. If you have a billion photos in a single directory .... well ;) Sometimes deleting .thumbnails in your home directory may fix the problem. 0.1.23 had several fixes, at least one fix was for handling broken png files.

I will delete the thumbnails and see what happens :) |
Weather Plug-in
Quote:
It will install to the panel and search and find any location I request, but it will not update the weather information. Thanks. |

I have a question about the slackbuild for the main xfce package. Here's an excerpt from it, where you're establishing package specific configure options:
Code:
# Here's where we patch or set up any other package-specific stuff: I came across this because I was compiling xfce4-session by itself, in order to apply a patch: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7887 We've had some experience with xfce4-session bumping users back to the login manager when shutdown or reboot is selected from the xfce menu. For some odd reason, it only seems to happen on an ext2 filesystem. On all filesystems, however, xfce4-session crashes the xorg-server when either of these buttons are selected. This patch seems to resolve the issue on my end. |
Looks like the panel has been upgraded to version 4.9 ?

Xfce is working towards 4.10 and also fixing bugs as they can for the 4.8 release. |

Great, thanks! Porteus (the slack-based distro I'm building xfce for) does have hal support enabled in the 32-bit version, but not 64. I added a fix to my build script (which downloads your sources and slackbuilds and modifies them a bit, then builds them), but it looks like I can remove it for my next build :)
The xfce4-session bug was not an easy one for me to catch, because on most systems, there's nothing visibly wrong. You push 'shutdown' or 'reboot' from the xfce menu, and the system appears to do exactly that --it just crashes xorg on the way down (also, I typically halt the system from the command line in Terminal rather than using the menu, which works fine). Of course, since I'm not running pure slackware, maybe things are different on your end. You may want to try shutting down from the menu, and then check your login manager log for anything unusual. This is what I was getting in my slim.log: Code:
Terminal: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. |

Last night I built it again and, again, it refused to work, It would install to the panel, but repeated what I described in the quote just above. This morning I was looking at the set-up options for the weather plug-in and noticed (I've seen it before) that it can be used with a proxy. So, I fired up Tor, filled in the information in the plug-in properties box, and BINGO the thing worked. Very weird, but it works. :) On another note, I've gotten very comfortable with Xfce 4.6.2 and see no need (for myself) to use Xfce 4.8.x. I've tried all 26 of the builds of Xfce 4.8.x that Mr. Workman has been kind enough to provide, but there has always been one problem or the other, none of which occur in 4.6.2. Unless 4.10 fixes the problems in 4.8.x, and turns out to be as stable as 4.6.2, I don't foresee there will be any reason to use it. Time will tell. :) |
