[Solved] Can't modify Xfce panel properties

Hi,
I have a shiny new and clean Archlinux install, 32bit with Xfce, but I can not modify the panel properties. Both the Size, Length Alpha, Opacity Enter and Leave values are stock at zero and I can't move the slider up. Can somebody help me fix it?
Thank you!

I have the same issue. Can't do squat. http://min.us/mvj6zxG
Shinny new x86_64 install.
I got this:
(xfce4-panel:1070): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to get constuct only property adjustment of length-scale with value `length'

[SOLVED] Can't Modify Network Settings in LXDE

Hey there! First timer question here.
I have LXDE installed. I set up Arch with my ethernet cable plugged in to my laptop (an HP Envy 14 Beats edition) and my network works with the ethernet cable. When I open Preferences > Network Connections all the tabs are blank. I have networkmanager and network-manager-applet installed, and in my /etc/group file I added the line
networkmanager:x:101:bentenrai
underneath the line
network:x:90:bentenrai
What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to give my account access to network settings, especially wifi? Any help would be appreciated, and sorry if this has been answered a million times before but I'm struggling with it.

Thanks! Been meaning to join for a while now but this is the first thing I haven't found solutions for elsewhere.
Unfortunately, it still isn't working. I tried commenting out the network group and changing network to networkmanager in my rc.conf, still no cigar. Preferences > Network Connections still comes up blank, and my internet doesn't work with the networkmanager daemon. What could I be missing?

[SOLVED] XFCE Panel Icons

Does anyone know why my panel icons are black?
Like such: http://i.imgur.com/rhaLd.png
I haven't migrated from any other DE, this started happening after I enabled Compiz on startup(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … icon.22.29).
Any ideas on how to set them to white, or use the icon set from the Xubuntu panel?
Thanks in advance.
SOLVED: Elementary Xubuntu icon theme installed, needed to specify "Elementary Xubuntu Dark" vs "Elementary Xubuntu".

You can't actually move stuff freely in XFCE panels; moving only changes the order of things. You have to use separators (which can be invisible and have the option to expand) to get stuff in particular places. I have eight invisible separators on my panel, and the 'Window Buttons' item expands to fill all free space, allowing me to place things on the 'end' of my panel.

Can I have window previews with Docky? Or even the native XFCE Panel?

In Windows 7, hovering over the window icon buttons will show the preview for the window, is that possible in Docky/XFCE Panel's Windows Button?

Here's some more info, in case anyone has any ideas.
I tried reinstalling the Flip4Mac Safari plug-in and Windows Media Player. Still doesn't work.
With WMP, I can cut and past the Netflix preview into the player and it will play, but I can't get it to start automatically.
With QuickTime, even if I cut and paste the URL into it, I get an error: Alert Invalid URL.
Any idea how I can get these preview to play automatically?
Thanks!

Windows server 2008 can't access control panel and can't choose "properties" under "my computer"

Hello everyone!
Today after a schedule restart on the night I thought everything was normal with my server. But When i go to "start -> control panel" it show me "empty". And if I try to lunch "change/remove software" via search window in
"start" then nothing happen.
I know also that I can't right click on "computer" and choose "properties" in the start-menu.
Also another problem. I did install Fbackup to make schedule file backups on the night. The software worked well to launch when I had installed it, but after the night, this morning it just crash on launch.
I can also tell that I did add from 4 CPU core to 6 CPU cores.

Hi,
Have you tried to see if the issue persists when you boot into Safe Mode? Since you it shows blank when accessing Control Panel, please check if the policy setting below has been
configured.
Please choose Start – Run - type (gpedit.msc) - click on (Administrative Templates) - (control Panel) -
Prohibit access to Control Panel and Show only specified Control Panel applets. If they were configured, please disable them to see if it could resolve the issue.
In addition, the issue may also be caused by the virus, please run a system scan to see if there is any virus. At this time, you can also launch Control Panel apps from the command
line, and here's a list of .cpl files for your reference that you can print out:

[SOLVED] xfce-panel causing problems with mouse/touchpad

Since upgrading the packages below I mouseclicks occasionally do not work. Also scrolling using the scrollwheel and touchpad doesn't start sometimes. I determined it is not a problem with the mouse or touchpad because 'xev' shows the correct events firing. Also I see the icon change from arrow to hand when clicking.
<edit>
It appears that "xfce4-panel" is the cause. I use tint2 instead of xfce-panel, but the process running an empty panel is started by default and somehow interfered with mouse and touchpad events. solved it by removing it from the session, and comment it out in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml

Good Luck.

Can't modify Outbound Connection Pools properties in WebLogic 10.3.6

I'm trying to configure BAM adapter in WebLogic Administration Console. Navigate to deployments -> OracleBamAdapter -> Configuration -> Outbound Connection Pools -> eis/bam/rmi -> tried to enter property value of Hostname but I couldn't. It is not in edit mode - no check box in front of Hostname column. I tried to enter the value in the hostname property and save but nothing was saved.
I've unlocked domain configuration lock and I see the <lock & edit> button is disabled and <release configuration> button is enabled in the change center. So why can I modify the property value?
WebLogic 10.3.6
SOA 11.1.1.6
BAM
All are installed in the same server and SOA is installed with development mode. I didn't bounce the admin server after unlocking the domain configuration, is this required?

Thanks, Arik. I just figured it out and was banging my head against the wall when you posted the message. :-) Thanks for the reply!

[SOLVED] Where is application icon in window buttons XFCE panel locat?

I installed chromium but in windows buttons panel, didn't show chromium icon. It's show an square icon instead chromium icon and seems like it's default icon.
You see? Genymotion and Thunar and Panel Properties has a icon so where there icons location ?
Last edited by Vahids (2015-05-27 05:53:52)

I found this from source code:
tmp = netk_window_get_icon(win);
if (tmp) {
gint w, h;
w = gdk_pixbuf_get_width(tmp);
h = gdk_pixbuf_get_height(tmp);
if (w != 22 || h != 22) {
icon = gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple(tmp, 24, 24, GDK_INTERP_BILINEAR);
*unref_needed = g_list_prepend(*unref_needed, icon);
} else {
icon = tmp;
but i didn't understand! seems like it's scaling some icon. but I don't know what icon.

You can't solve problems when you're drunk Go ask your mom for a hug
That's what you think. I have a lot of brain storms when I've had a few (not all 12).
And my parents are passed. So I guess I need to ask my wife for a hug (however, she is at work).
I want a hug now, not after 6pm.
Anyway, I think, that you can move the panel if you uncheck the "lock panel" option. I just accidentally figured that out. Should have known the answer was something simple
I did un-check the 'lock panel' box, and couldn't move that top bar (upon using the default).
So as a I said, I removed both of the newly created panels, and redid them from scratch.

XFCE panel not responding after suspend

I've installed XFCE and slim, when I wake up suspended computer XFCE panel behave weird. I can't run any application from launcher in panel, but I can switch between running apps or open panel properties. I think it might be problem with suspending.
Some stuff I've noticed:
- I set in xfce power manager and xfce session that computer is locked before suspend but after wake up isn't locked

You don't have to restart all of xfce, just the panel.
killall -v xfce4-panel
then restart it in a terminal to catch any errors
xfce4-panel
If you're lucky there'll be errors in the terminal when the panel becomes unresponsive and you can chase them down.

While that works, how do you see the panel when you want to see it?
When I hover over it with my mouse the panel pops up and the opacity is 0%. The only thing that is in my XFCE panel is the systray. I use tint2 as a taskbar and rightclick on the desktop to bring on the menu. I never work fullscreen and I don't use wine.
Oh, I get it. You checked the "make active panel opaque" box. That definately works.
I wouldn't mark this as solved though, since the OP wants a slightly different behaviour (I would prefer that too).

Hi Han,
here my corrections:
1.
I would use the filename "mylabels_cn.properties" and not "mylabels_zh_CN.properties"
2.&3.
This is the SP2 way for using the bundle files for properties. For NetWeaver you need to create a new PAR-file with the bundle file including the labels and translations as described <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/65/6fc63ed4027f6be10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here</a>.
It's very easy if you use the example PAR file provided by SAP in SAP Note 817876, as mentioned in the referenced link (Prerequisites section).
Read carefully the process in the link and try again. If you still experience problems, come back with the new detailed description.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Can't modify/delete Outlook 2010 Contact Group

I've got a user who created a new Contact Group in Outlook 2010 and now can't modify or delete the group. Other groups she's created before or since do not exhibit this behavior. Also, when you bring up the properties of the group, the window
looks different than the other groups and the icon in the top left of the window just has the card with no people in front of it.
Thanks

Hi,
A Contact Group, known in previous Outlook versions as a distribution list, is a grouping of e-mail addresses collected under one name. A message sent to a Contact Group goes to all recipients listed in the
group. You can include Contact Groups in messages, task requests, meeting requests, and in other Contact Groups.

Controlling front panel properties from within a statechart

I have a user interface that I am trying to put into a statechart. On the user interface I have a bunch of buttons (controls) and indicators. To populate the indicators I am getting data back from 2 sources (USB and RS 232). For this, I have made shared variables for the data returning from the sources but this only works for indicators as far as I can see. Anyway, I have the software working and now that I am trying to go back and place the code into the statechart format to clean it up I am running into issues. Since the statechart does not run inside the labview panel I can not access the front panel properties of controls. Basically, I am using the statechart to control which buttons are active on the front panel (this is dependent on the state the user is in). Also I am using the states to control a LabVIEW “tab control” to determine which tab to display. For instance, I have an operate screen and a calibrate screen. Depending on which state the operator is in, different controls are active (I don’t want the user to accidently change an item on the operate screen while in calibrate). Is there a way to do this inside the statechart structure?

You don't actually copy the reference itself. Rather, you want to add a control of the same type as the reference to your statechart Inputs.ctl. You can get such a control by right clicking on the reference you created and choosing "create control".
Then you pass in the reference to your specific control into the statechart via the inputs terminal. You can then talk to this reference via VI server and manipulate the original control.
If this isn't clear probably the best thing to do is to look in the LV help index for the keyword "control references" and read about "passing to subVIs". Passing a reference to a subVI is very much like passing one to a statechart so most of this is relevant.
Hope that helps.
