Gnome-panel width[solved]

Is 24 pixels limit of gnome-panel width,because if I go further to 23 or 22,nothing happens? It can be wider,but it can't be narrower to me.

do you have on that panel a custom menu ( Applications Places System )? on some themes the gnome-panel wouldn't shrink if i had that applet

[Solved] nm-applet not appearing in gnome panel

Hi all.
I recently replaced my wired network card with a wireless one.
I then followed the instructions at the following pages to get the correct software installed:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … orkManager
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
My only problem now is that nm-applet does not appear in the gnome panel.
Both nm-applet and networkmanager are running though, but the network is not up.
If I then kill nm-applet and run it from the command line, it the creates the icon in gnome-panel and automatically connects to my wireless network.
I've looked through all the related posts but I can't find anything that helps.
I've tried to make my DAEMONS section of rc.conf as simple as possible:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng netfs crond dbus networkmanager alsa)
but that didn't help either.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
As a side note I have a another machine with exactly the same wireless card with a fresh install and it works perfectly with regards to nm-applet.
Perhaps it's a config setting that is causing the problem?

If you don't need these packages, try removing them.
Solved after removing these packages. Thanks both. I am now downloading the huge 1.7G updates.

[SOLVED] update removed menu items in lxpanel menu & in gnome-panel

when i start gnome-panel, the 'applications' drop down is empty, and 'system' no longer contains the 'administration' and 'preferences' items.
in lxpanel, the menu only shows 'run' and 'logout'.
i wanted to see if alacarte still showed things, so i ran alacarte from a terminal (which normally works)...
[chris: ~]$ alacarte
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 36, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 32, in main
app = MainWindow(datadir, version, sys.argv)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 48, in __init__
self.editor = MenuEditor()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 36, in __init__
self.__loadMenus()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 60, in __loadMenus
self.settings.dom = xml.dom.minidom.parse(self.settings.path)

return expatbuilder.parse(file)

result = builder.parseFile(fp)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 211, in parseFile
parser.Parse("", True)
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: no element found: line 1, column 0
naturally, starting alacarte by right clicking on gnome-menu -> edit menus also does nothing.
i looked at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py with cat, and there is nothing super-obviously wrong with the script.
also:
[chris: ~]$ ls /usr/share/applications
abiword.desktop
alacarte.desktop
aldm-gui.desktop
assistant.desktop
at-properties.desktop
avahi-discover.desktop
banshee-1-audiocd.desktop
banshee-1.desktop
banshee-1-media-player.desktop
baobab.desktop
*and so on*
so those didn't vanish.
any ideas?

so i saw this error message....
** (gnome-panel:4408): WARNING **: Error loading menu layout from "/home/chris/.config/menus/settings.menu": Error on line 1 char 1: Document was empty or contained only whitespace
the file was empty. and what do we do with broken config files in ~? why, we hide them, of course!
[chris: ~/.config/menus]$ mv settings.menu settings.menubackup
now gnome-panel works, but alacarte (menu editor) and lxpanel's menu is still busted.
now that i am getting somewhere, im gonna keep posting as i trace this down so others that may come across this same issue can benefit.
edit: renamed ~/.config/menus/lxde-applications.menu to .menubackup and restarted lxpanel, it works now.
edit2:
alacarte is giving me this...
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/chris/.config/menus/applications.menu'
and sure enough, pcmanfm told me that the file belonged to root.
sudo pcmanfm, navigated to that file, right click -> properties -> permissions -> changed owner to chris and group to users.
alacarte works now, too.
i think im going to go through and recursively make everything in each ~ folder belong to the username it should just in case permissions got jumbled somewhere/anywhere else.
just so i know: did this happen to anyone else that updated within the last 24 hours or so?
(so i can learn if it was something *I* did, or if it was something that came with the *update*)

[solved] nm-applet does not show up in Gnome panel

Hi all,
I installed networkmanager, network-manager-applet and dbus this afternoon. As well as a fresh install of Gnome. This is all done on my laptop, which my wife wants to use now and then. I always set up the network CLI, but now I will need a nice flashy applet in the Gnome panel.
I managed to run the network-connection-editor as root, and got the network up.
I had some dbus problems when I tried launching nm-applet, but fixed it with a dbus-hack I found in some other thread. But when I now launch nm-applet, it says that there allready is an instance running of nm-applet.
I guess it should show up in the panel, if it is. But I don't see anything there... Do you have any ideas of what I forgot to install/configure/check.
Thanks,
jocom

There have been a couple similar posts recently. I'm not using Gnome anymore or networkmanager, so I don't know if there's a problem with it or not. If I remember correctly I had to install gnome-panel-bonobo, and I believe python-notify and gksu too. You can do a search on the wiki for networkmanager, there is a page for it that explains the configuration changes you'll need to make. Hope it helps.

GNOME-Panel looks funny and the system is slow? [SOLVED]

My up to date installation with Arch started to work really slow today. Even the animation when you open a new tab in Firefox lags like hell. And at about the same time my GNOME panel started looking funny:
As you can se the toogle button looks weird to. Its not my theme nor the Murrine engine.
This is how it should be:
I cant remeber doing anything out of the ordinary? It kinda just happend. I have no idea at all whats causing it, so I dont now how to debug the problem? I feel like a complete noob atm.

You can grep the date from the pacman.log output to show you what was upgraded on that day.
I meant about 2 days, it could be more or less. I've checked the log pretty thoroughly serveral days back but I cant find anything, but I dont trust myself either though.

For some reason, I am not able to submit it to the AUR.

update to gtk2 2.20.1-2

Gnome-panel and/or more broken? solved

Hi there,
Just to the lead up, I was mounting my school's server's smb drives. I was also experimenting all day getting SSH and SAMBA working to communicate with my old desktop I set up in my room to act as a server. So I was unmounting these network drives (school and server), when all the gnome-panel stuff frozen. AWN was fully functional, as were all the open windows and the desktop. But nothing on the panel worked, menu, windowlist, cpufreq, clock, etc, it was all frozen. I ctrl+alt+backapaced and logged in, great, now theres no panel at all, reboot with the same problem. The panel appeared after around 7 minutes of downtime. During this downtime of the panel, I also could not use alt+F2 run, which did pop up when the panel popped up. Also after the panel popped up, gedit takes way longer than normal to start up.
Any ideas as to what is going on here?
EDIT: Rebooted several times with the same problem of insanely slow start up of the panel, reinstalled all gnome+gnome-extra packages and everything seems to be back to normal for now.

You can turn things off mostly in the applications themself. I for example have the following:
- Bluetooth Icon (turn on / off in Bluetooth Preferences)
- Display Icon (turn on / off in Display)
- Bettery Icon (turn on / off in Power Management)
- NetworkManager (shows icon by default, I don't know of another way to run this).
Volume Applet (right-click to remove)
In Preferences - Startup Applications you can specify which programs to run, but I don't think this affects the tray icons.

Xfce4 and gnome-network-manager [solved]

I just made a clean install of archlinux. installed xorg and Xfce4, xfce-goodies, gnome-panel, gnome-desktop and gnome-network-manager. also I enabled GNOME services in startup and sessions. how do I start that network manager now? is nowhere in the settings, nor there is icon to add to the taskbar (i got xfapplets installed too)
Last edited by anarxi (2009-01-14 00:22:42)

quoted from a previous thread
I solved it by uncommenting my <locale><charset> in /etc/locale.gen.
First you have to enable the locales you want being supported by your system. To enable or disable them, the file /etc/locale.gen is used. It contains every locale you can enable, and you have just to uncomment lines you want to do so.
As we want to setup an english UTF-8 conform system, we want to enable en_US.UTF-8. But for compatibility to programs that don't support UTF-8 yet, it's recommended to support any other locale, prefixed with en_US as well. Having this in mind, we enable this set of locales:
en_US.UTF8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
After you've enabled the necessary locales, you have to run locale-gen as root to update them:
# sudo locale-gen
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8... done
en_US.ISO-8859-1... done
Generation complete.

Gnome-panel not working when auto-started in openbox

Salut,
trying to get openbox to work with gnome-panel. Everything works fine if I run gnome-panel when openbox is already started.
But when trying to add gnome-panel to the autostart.sh with
(sleep 1 && gnome-panel) &
as the last line, I get the error message
========================
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet".
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
========================
for 3 or 4 applets. How to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

I found a workaround for the problem.
Install xfce4-panel and xfce4-xfapplet-plugin and you will be able to run the gnome applets in the excellent and lightweight xfce4-panel.
It works fine for me

Mac Menubar applet for Xfce/GNOME panels!

AUR: for Xfce 4.4 | GNOME 2.16
It's in my repository ("xfce4-macmenu-plugin" and gnome-macmenu-applet):
[AqD]
Server = http://people.os-zen.net/aqd/repository
You also need gtk2-aqd >= 2.10.6-2 from my repo and xfce 4.4 from shadowhand's or gnome 2.16
To move or remove the applet, move mouse pointer to the rightmost place of the menubar, where you will see something appearing like a flat button, then: (for Xfce) right-click on it, or (for GNOME) left-click on it, don't release button until you select the menu item.
You can right-click to get the panel menu (for restart/quit) if there is no window focused.
Problems and solutions: · GNOME/GTK2 apps' menubars cannot be restored to the original state once you use this applet. However, they wouldn't die even if the applet/panel crashes - restarting panel will catch them back.
· After you restart the panel, the menubar of currently active window may not be visible, unfocus/focus (or shade/unshade) the main window will make it appear again
· Restarting WM may cause some menubars to disappear - restarting panel will solve this
Cheers!

Gnome-panel always crashes after update

Everytime, and yes i mean everytime I run a "pacman -Syu" and reboot, gnome-panel just crashes upon loading. If I kill it and restart the panel, it does the same thing. The only way to resolve this is to run "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel" which resets it back to default (since I customize the panel).
Anyone experienced this before and know a fix?
edit: When I say crash, I mean I can't click on anything on the panel, it's completely unresponsive. I used to have the deskbar. Most of the times, half the panel doesn't load.

Probably should, but those two directories weren't there on my clean install. I just created .themes and .icons and restarted the application, and it worked. (Saw the bug report)
...and the fix has already been released per bugzilla.

Lost my gnome panel in solaris 10, x86 need help !

Lost my gnome panel on solaris 10 x86 box and can't understand why.
Can anyone help me out to restore my panel ?
Thanks
Richie

The quick way would be to just rm all of the files in your home directory and then log out and back in again. A more convenient method would be to move the contents of your home directory somewhere else and then log out and back in again and then copy the files back so you don't have to re-customize it.
