[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.

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 upgrade 4.11 -- 4.12 : error loading libxfce4util.so.6

Hi guys,
I upgraded from xfce 4.11 (xfce4-*-devel packages) to xfce 4.12 today, but I have the following error with a bunch of different xfce4 apps (including xfdesktop):
# xfce4-settings-manager
xfce4-settings-manager: error while loading shared libraries: libxfce4util.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried downgrading extra/libxfce4util 4.12.1-1 to aur/libxfce4util-devel 4.11.0-1 but then the error says libxfce4util.so.7 cannot be found.
Using ldd I found that the applications depend on both libxfce4util.so.6 and libxfce4util.so.7
ldd $(which xfce4-appfinder) | grep -i xfce4
libxfce4ui-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libxfce4ui-1.so.0 (0x00007f681fa05000)
libxfce4util.so.7 => /usr/lib/libxfce4util.so.7 (0x00007f681ecd8000)
libxfce4util.so.6 => not found
I figure I have some package somewhere that didn't upgrade properly or something. Here's the list of xfce packages I have installed:

GTK engine doubts

Hi, i want to ask what is the difference between the many gtk engines out there. I have one problem with my xfce, i installed the xfce4-gtk2-engine and xfce4-gtk3-engine, and i assume those are two separate engines handling gtk2 and gtk3 respectively. But, some of the apps that i installed have old classy drop-downs and buttons, i guess because something is not going good with the engines i installed. For e.g. Evince (document viewer) have an old classic look, and something else like the audio mixer (alsa) for e.g. is normal (i use this theme). I want to ask weather i should change the default xfce gtk engines and install something else that is handling better both gtk2 and gtk3.
Thanks!

Yeah, i just got it now.. so my theme is gtk2 only that's why i get ugly looking docs. reader (since it's gtk3 based app). Thanks for your replies, you've been very informative. Anyway, i was looking at this theme and i see that it required murine and some other pixbuf stuff.. Do i need to install these engines, since i already have the xfce's implementations installed. I tried the theme it works for gtk3 apps but now i get ugly look on everything else based on gtk2.. =/. Is there any gt2/3 based engine that handles both specifications, because i installed two separate packages in xfce (gtk2 and gtk3 engines)?
Thanks, cheers!

Problem with lib32-gtk-engines

I'm trying to install lib32-gtk-engines from the AUR; however I keep encountering this message:
configure: error: GTK+-2.12 is required to compile gtk-engines
I've tried using both aura and yaourt, and I've also tried doing a full system update. Nothing yet has worked. Any ideas what may be causing this?

ghostHack wrote:
Use ABS. The PKGBUILD is in /var/abs/community/lib32/lib32-gtk2 (once you've updated your abs tree)
change the pkgver and pkgrel variables in the PKGBUILD to be the current arch32 values (2.16.0 and 1) and rebuild the package locally.
I should have thought of that. Thanks

Clearlooks-gtk2 vs with gtk-engines

The 2 packages in the title conflicts one with the other, and this is fine, because they both provide the engine for clearlooks.
But what about the icons and the metacity themes that come with the first of the two?
clearlooks-gtk2 provide a greater support for that specific theme, coming with icons and three themes for different window colouring.
By now I've just installed themes and icons from the clearlooks package in my home, is there any better and clearer solution?

Snowman wrote:If you like clearlooks better, why don't you install clearlooks-gtk2 instead of gtk-engines?
Because gtk-engines is required by 3 other theme packages actually.
I hope JGC will be fast in updating the pkgs in his todo list.

[SOLVED] XFCE - Java Swing button theme?

I'm running XFCE, and I notice that all Swing-based Java applications use the ugly Swing button theme. When I used GNOME 3, some of them would adapt to the GNOME button theme (and would look like they belonged on the system).
Is this issue with XFCE, my current GTK theme (dorian), or Java, and how can I change this?

Thank you for the information.
I followed the wiki by adding
export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel"
to my ~/.bashrc file.
To test, I launched the Minecraft launcher (one of the applications which does support style changes between desktops), and got back this information:
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel
Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string: ''
And it had no effect. Any ideas?

[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.
[Solved] XFCE - Having Trouble Centering Windows
[solved] Xfce4, new windows position
Xfce 4.8 xfwm4 window placement settings no longer have any effect.
This is not a big problem, but I'm kind of picky, so if anyone knows a solution to this problem, please share it.
Best Regards,
Agkel0s

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.)

How to use non system-wide installed gtk engine?

Hello!
I want to use the new oxygen-gtk engine, but at work I have no root rights. Thats why I installed the engine into an directory on my home directory. Now I have to tell GTK where to find this new engine. I tried the following solutions, but nothing works:
gtkrc-2.0: module_path: GTK_WARNING: module path now ignored
"GTK_PATH=/home/user/.gtk2.0/engines": does not work
Everytime I get:
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk"
Is there any way to tell GTK where to find my user installed engine?
Regards,
iggy

Personally, I wouldn't recommend doing that. Just rebuild rezlooks against gtk2-2.10.x to keep things consistant.
In this case it's a completely valid solution, as the API between 2.4 and 2.10 hasn't changed for theme engines. The only thing that has changed is filechooser plugins, which is why they bumped.
The only problem I would have with this solution is that pacman doesn't know about the new files anymore, but if you're hacking around anyways, the filelist in /var/lib/pacman could be updated to match the new location aswell

Gtk-engines? Do I Need It?

I have been playing with adding gtk themes to my system by creating a ~/.gtkrc and ~/.gtkrc-2.0. I downloaded a large set of themes, and when I select one in my .gtkrc-2.0 file, it seems to work. Nonetheless, before I started this effort, I had checked the Arch repository and see that there is a package called gtk-engines.
Since my theme selections appear to be working without this package, I am left wondering what it does and whether I need it for something that I am not aware of. I have done a "pacman --query gtk-engines" and I can see that it is not on my system.
So, my question is - what does this package do? Can I use new/different themes with it? What functionality does it enable? Thanks.

Thanks, I'll have a look at art.gnome.org and gnome-look.org. I didn't know about either of these, and my googling for theme sites did not turn them up. Strange.
When you say it is possible to have, for example, Clearlooks without the earth tones, are you saying that such a theme has been created and I can find it at one of the above two, or are you merely commenting that I can go in and edit the theme myself manually (I have done this before in the past!) to change some of the color elements?

[SOLVED] compiz wont use gtk-window-decorator with xfce

for the life of me i cant get ccsm to keep "gtk-window-decorator --replace" to stick in the Command line of the Window Decoration plugin section. it keeps switching to "emerald --replace"
is it because im using xfce and not gnome? xfce uses gtk right. anyone have this issue? its not that i dont mind emerald, just on some other distros ive used i can change it no problem, most of those were using gnome though so maybe thats it

I managed to successfully install and get running compiz-core-git, ccsm-git, compiz-plugins-extra-git, compiz-plugins-main-git, compizconfig-python-git, and libcompizconfig-git; all from the AUR. But when all was said and done, I was left without a window decorator. I wanted compiz-decorator-gtk, but I couldn't find it in the AUR and the one in the community repo wouldn't install due to not having compiz-core installed (I had compiz-core-git), which left me stuck going back to 0.8.8 for now.
Had you enabled 'window decoration' in CCSM??? (4 compiz 0.9.x?) On install, it is probably not enabled (along with resizing, moving windows, etc). It also won't pick up your 0.8.8 settings - so you need to set up CCSM settings from scratch.. Also, Compiz should have built gtk-window-decorator when you compiled it. (which is why i believe that you didn't have CCSM comfigured correctly with your new version of compiz).
as for the compiz packages in AUR, can't give you much advice there, as i build compiz myself, using Scott Moreau's build scripts;
git clone git://anongit.compiz.org/users/soreau/scripts
there are a few build scripts - for both 0.8.8 and 0.9.x - whichever ones end in '++' - are for building 0.9.x ... for both series, there are scripts to build all of the addons / plugins.
building it yourself, may not be your ideal approach, so i would recommend trying the AUR pkgbuilds for compiz 0.9.x , but this time have a look in CCSM, after you install the new version and make sure that you have enabled all of the important stuff like move, resize, window decoration, etc.
You also might want to read through compiz' Wiki, the trouble-shooting section covers your 'no-window-decoration' problem ~ as it is quite common.

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.4 / GTK / Firefox freezes

For the past week or so, I've been having a problem with Gnome Shell and/or particular applications freezing for around 30 seconds to a minute at a time.
I can't quite pin down what the underlying problem is. It affects Firefox most obviously: any attempt to right click for context menu, or to use the back arrow on the task bar, causes Firefox to freeze. However, it is not restricted to Firefox: I've had similar freezes affecting other GTK apps (e.g. Gnome Terminal) or even the entire desktop. The problem is affecting all users. Occasionally I am also getting a "sad computer" black screen of death when logging in to a Gnome session, but I can't tell if that's related.
I've tried downgrading the kernel to linux-lts, but that makes no difference.
Basically this is rendering the computer almost unusable, or at least deeply painful and annoying to use.

I've really been trying to make gnome shell a pleasant usable experience for myself, but I'm having these lockup issues frequently upon log in. It may be due to the fact that I'm using fglrx graphics but I still don't think that should be an excuse. I tried removing the extension and the correlation appeared to have less freezes - but I'm still in a bad position.

[SOLVED] Xfce and gtk-sunlight (rsw in the AUR)

I'm yet another refugee from Gnome 3. I've got Xfce set up almost exactly the same after a day of fiddling, but I can't figure out this thing, and there's nothing on google or the forums about it.
I'm trying to use the Realtime Sunlight Wallpaper app that updates the desktop background every 30 minutes. I assumed, it being gtk, that it would work in Xfce, but it doesn't appear at all. When I run it from the command line it seems like it's running fine with no errors. I feel like I'm missing something huge. Can someone tell me if this is even possible with the way Xfce does the background vs Gnome?
Thanks!

I've had a look at this and rsw uses this command to change the wallpaper:
gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename
(+ the actual filename appended.)
Under Xfce, xfDesktop is responsible for displaying the background, and it probably doesn't care much about gnome settings...
Try changing the code in support.h from
#define GCONF_SET_WALLPAPER "gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename"
to
#define GCONF_SET_WALLPAPER "xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path -s"
It should work... However there are other commands (GCONF_SET_PICTURE_OPTIONS, etc. in support.h) that you may have to change to fix everything.

[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?

Thanks a bunch, mate!
Don't forget to edit your thread topic to say "solved"
Glad you fixed it.

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