[Solved] xfce 4.3.99.1??

I would like to try xfce 4.3.99.1 (Also known as 4.4 Beta1). Is there an Arch package that I can use? I am getting to like xfce more and more. BUT, xfce dosn't seem to be popular with Arch users.
Thanks for any insight, jimbo

Xfdesktop is fixed in my repos now.
You managed to catch an update that just happened to have a bug with xfdesktop not showing desktop icons for anyone, even thought it was built in.
And just to be clear, this is NOT xfce 4.3.99, this is xfce-svn. It's even newer than 4.3.99.
I just spent all afternoon failing to get xfce4-svn to work. I started with a fresh install of Gimmick iso. Add mousetrap repo to /etc/pacman.conf. Then pacman -Syu and editing /boot/grub/menu.lst so it would boot. Then a fresh install of xorg, xorg-apps, xorg-xdm, xterm, and xf86-video-nv. Then configure with xorgconfig. Everything worked OK. Startx brought up the usual cheesy two GUI terminal windows.
Then pacman -S xfce4-svn.
startx fails with several messages about missing files, no such file or directory, etc. Changed PATH to include /opt/xfce dirs.
Now startx brings up a black xfce desktop where none of the panel icons work, no right click menu, desktop settings to allow xfce to manage desktop does nothing and won't stay clicked. In short, a totally useless desktop and I was not able to fix it with endless "fixes".
Oh well, Arch is easy to install and Xfce 4.2 does work.
Good luck, jimbo

[SOLVED] XFCE - Incorrect windows placement

Hi,
I'm currently having a issue with XFCE's window placement. In the settings panel, under Window Manager Tweaks > Placement, window placement is set to Center for all windows, but this option has no effect. I tried changing it to place windows under the mouse, but it also has no effect on the windows placement. Windows keep opening on the screen corners.
I checked the forums for similar problems, and found some results, but none of the solutions worked for me. Also, those are quite old topics.

Shouldn't you actually have it on the maximum value?
I believe the way this works is that the size (or ratio, the option is actually called placement_ratio IIRC and is a ratio of window size vs screen size) you specify here is the minimum to trigger "smart placement." If the window isn't (at least) of that size, then the default (i.e. center or under mouse pointer, as defined below) will be used. So if you want every window to use the default placement, you should set the minimum size for smart placement to be as large as possible. (In fact, I believe with a ratio set to 100 (i.e. slider to the max) it should always use the default placement, regardless of window size, which is want you're after if I'm not wrong.)
If even with the slider to the max you get new windows placed using smart placement, then it sounds like a bug I'd say.
(Also, just as FYI and though you might simply want all windows to be centered, I wasn't happy with xfwm's smart placement myself, you can see this topic for a (IMO) better alternative.)

[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.

[solved] XFCE - cannot adopt different themes

Running XFCE now I cannot change GTK themes. Clearlooks, Murrina, etc. are installed, but when I want to actually change the theme (say, to a dark one), nothing will happen.
Starting an OpenBox environment everything works nicely...
Any ideas what to check for?

[solved] xfce-wavelan-plugin

Hi All,
I have recently installed ArchLinux and have been experimenting ever since. I have my wifi set up through netcfg which uses multiple profiles so I can connect wherever I am. I have also settled with XFCE desktop environment, and am happy so far but I have a tendancy to swap and change a lot.
The on issue I have is when attempting to use the wavelan plugin in XFCE. As soon as I add it to the panel it crashes and in tty1 I get:
sh: /sbin/ifconfig: No such file or directory
I know that net-tools has been deprecated, is there anyway round this?
I tried searching for this issue by googling and on the forum/wiki. Apologies if it has been already solved!
Thanks,
Matt.
Last edited by mspn (2012-01-17 20:29:27)

I guess net-tools is technically depreciated, but I'm used to it and it seems to work fine.
In the interest of the most simple & elegant solution, how about
pacman -S net-tools
However, (and I run XFCE too), I recommend NetworkManager & network-manager-applet for WiFi as it makes dealing with encrypted networks much easier.

[SOLVED] XFCE - Editing Applications Menu

Hi there,
The applications menu seems to update happily in XFCE when i use pacman.. however pacman has placed some items (eg. XMMS) into an incorrect category (in this case "Other").
How can I edit the menu so that XMMS is placed into the "Multimedia" group? When I use the menu editor in XFCE, it allows me to add or remove items from the menu, EXCEPT it has an "include" entry that seems to include another menu called "system"...?
Where can i find this "system" menu??
Many thanks,
KC

Ah ha!
I had found the list of applications in /usr/share/applications and was trying to edit the entry for xmms, but whatever I did it didn't work, so I thought I was being silly and asked if there was a menu config file i had to use...
Turns out that there was an entry in the ~/.local/share/applications that was overwriting my changes to the /usr/share... settings! How frustrating, glad to have got it sorted lol.
Thanks for your quick advice!

[SOLVED] Xfce freezes (maybe gtk-engine-murrine)

I'm just installed Xfce in a fresh Arch installation. The problem is that when I choose, for exemple, the Greybird gtk theme the environment totally freezes. This doesn't happen if I choose a theme that don't need gtk-engine-murrine. Anybody can help me? Sorry for my bad english.
Last edited by WretchedEgg (2013-02-10 04:08:24)

It's solved. I removed gtk-engine-murrine and cleaned the pacman cache. Then reinstalled the engine and now all works. I don't know what happened but now it's ok. Excuse me for the post.

[SOLVED] xfce does not start after SLiM login :S

hello, i have been following the wiki's to setup X, and xfce (which works when i start it from CLI (startxfce4)), and i have installed SLiM which works too!
Anyway, i have setup SLiM to startup via /etc/inittab, (Runlevel 5). I use ~/.xinitrc to run my xfce WM:
#the only uncommented line is:
exec startxfce4
The problem is that once SLiM loads, and i login, X seems to crash (i see the CLI login) before SLiM respawns, and i am required to login again. I think it must be a simple issue of xfce not actually being started?
i have tried changing startxfce4 to xfce-session, neither work. The login code for SLiM is (/etc/slim.conf):
login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
and from the same file, my available sessions are:
sessions xfce4,icewm,wmaker,blackbox
So, ive heard of some other people who seemed to experience this same issue, but i cant seem to resolve it like they did anyway, i think i must be missing something and would like some help? thanks.

Many thanks Deuterium. You saved my day! I posted a new thread and finally found your answer. The arch community is great. Now the question is how this file got permission changed?
[EDIT]
After few tests I noticed that while X is working automount is broken again and no possibilty to go to standby either. This was in the past solved by going to the latest version of consolekit. The problem is that I'm already running consolekit 0.4.1-2.
Here is the message I get when inserting a USB drive:
Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.38" (uid=1000 pid=3437 comm="exo-mount) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=2806 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)).
[EDIT2]
The above error came from the fact that when I got stuck with no WM I modifed the .xinitrc to only have 'exec startxfce4' rather than my original '
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4'. Then after fixing the WM issue I forgot to modify .xinitirc back.

[SOLVED] Xfce 4.8, "no running instance of xfce4-panel has been found"

Hello fellow Archers!
I just upgraded my Xfce installation to version 4.8, but I have a weird problem with xfce4-panel. After upgrading the system via pacman I've rebooted, and after logging in I couldn't see the Xfce's panel anymore! Moreover, a dialog box pops up saying that "no running instance of xfce4-panel has been found". I've tried to fix this issue by launching xfce4-panel through a terminal, and then saving the session before logging out. Now when I log in, I can finally see the panel, but the pop up window keeps coming out every single time. Do you have any suggestions on what could be the issue?
Thanks in advance!

[SOLVED] Xfce and bus issues

Long story short, I updated Xfce to 4.8 few days ago, and everything went well. I was running my basic programs and VM during these days.
But today, all of a sudden, some programs didn't launch anymore. xfce4-mixer quit with a "Bus Error" message, and many other things started failing. After a reboot, it just got weirder: NMApplet appeared in the tray and displayed my network (wireless), but clicking it just "freezes" the icon. Aside from that, xfce wouldn't load my keymap (es), instead it defaults to a "us" keymap.
The only packages I updated today were a few python and power management packages. Downgrading these (and dbus) didn't help.
Also, X terminals (xfce's terminal, tilda, etc) behave strangely when scrolling back: A few lines are displayed, but scrolling up further just displays empty space.
No major configs were edited during this time. Googling a bit gave me results about dbus being twice on rc.conf, but that's not the issue. My current rc.conf has dbus and hal after it (Method 1 in archwiki). Excluding dbus (Method 2) doesn't change things. I also tried excluding hal (Xfce 4.8 doesn't require it anymore, correct?), but it's the same thing.
Xfce itself seems to run sorta fine though: The shutdown command inside the DE works, and some apps do run (power management, xfce notes, notifications). Others give out several errors: Chromium for example says it "can't create a directory socket" or something (using another system right now, so I can't check), while avant-window-navigator gives out dbus and gconf errors.
dmesg doesn't display anything out of the ordinary at the end (the blank space in terminals issue doesn't let me read too far back.)
EDIT: A dbus-daemon process is constantly using 50% of the CPU. And the kernel is 2.6.36 (upgraded it quite some time ago, had no issues)
Any ideas on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

...and I solved it.
Since nothing would work, I decided to back up my system files and pacman cache, among other things. When checking my pkgcache folder size, I noticed that the / partition was at 100%...
So running ncdu I find out slim had a 9.9 GB log for some reason. Deleted that, rebooted, and everything is back to normal.
So now I mark this as solved, thankfully. Now the slim logs are not growing like crazy.

[SOLVED] XFCE and automounting DVD/CD

Hello all,
New to XFCE, switched from gnome 3, and I have a few questions, if someone can point me in the right direction:
1) how can I automount DVDs or CD's as well as USB thumb drives? I tried devmon for udisks, and that didn't work.
2) as a regular user, I don't have access to the "Restart" and "Shutdown" buttons from the logout menu, they are dimmed.
3) whenever I roll my mouse into the lower right corner of the desktop, it appears to get "stuck" for a second or two. this is the only corner it gets stuck in.
any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Added #3
Last edited by nixIT (2011-05-20 13:53:14)

I was also struggling with the same problem when switching from gnome 3 to Xfce.
The first question is the first problem I encountered and it can be solved by adding "ck-launch-session" This should have been in the FAQ.
I am now facing the second question now. Here is some hints https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Th … tomounting
I am still trying to figure the problem at this moment.
Edit: After following the instruction on the wiki, automount sill not works.
I found a thread on the forum discussion about this issue. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=111867
Basically, thunar and thunar-volman required gvfs to have automount function properly.

It's OK now.
I don't know how it was solved.
May be because, firefox tried to run on every reboot

[SOLVED] XFCE 4.12 - laptop lid ignores power-manager settings

I just fresh installed Arch w/ XFCE 4.12
In power manager, I set the lid switch to suspend on battery, lock on ac. The setting worked initially, but after the first suspend, or a reboot, the lid switch triggers suspend no matter what.
I tried setting HandleLidSwitch=ignore in /etc/systemd/logind.conf, as suggested in numerous online sources, but it didn't help
I tried rm -rf .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml, which makes it work temporarily again, until a suspend or a reboot
Does anyone know of a fix for this? It's not a deal-breaker but it's a pain in the ass.

I may have solved it.
I edited the xml file directly and set <property name="logind-handle-lid-switch" type="bool" value="false"/>
Now the options seem to work as intended. I also noticed that if you launch the settings applet, it changes that key back to true every time it's opened. The change can also be made through the settings editor.
I'll test for 24 hours and mark as solved if it works.
EDIT:
That didn't work permanently, I'm back to suspending on lid close on AC. I'm using TLP with battery thresholds enabled, and I'm starting to wonder if xfce-power-manager is reading the charge state of the battery instead of the power source directly. When my battery is below the start charging threshold and is actually charging, it seems to be working as intended. If my laptop is on AC but the battery is not actually charging, it acts like it's on battery. I might be wrong, it's just a theory.

[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

welcome to macbook forum.
try this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=17228
and open your system preference / keyboard and mouse / trackpad tab / and changed the preference (double clicking speed, etc) as you like and try it.
Good Luck.
