[solved] xfce4-panel 4.8.0-1 only on one desktop

Hello,
xfce4-panel got updated today to version 4.8.0-1. Now I have the problem, that the panel appears only on the desktop it was started, but does not remain sticky as expected. I'm using plain openbox without xfce stuff. I also removed the old configs, same problem.
Any hints?
Vlad
PS: Set the openbox internal application settings to sticky in rc.xml:
<application name="xfce4-panel">
<desktop>all</desktop>
</application>
Now it appears on all desktops, but it should work without this. It's definitely a bug...

I figured out a way of solving this one .
It seems that the problem dissappears once you run xfwm4, even if you run openbox --replace afterwards
To fix it, I edited the file /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml
My old xfce4-sessions.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<channel name="xfce4-session" version="1.0">
<property name="general" type="empty">
<property name="FailsafeSessionName" type="string" value="Failsafe"/>
</property>
<property name="sessions" type="empty">
<property name="Failsafe" type="empty">
<property name="IsFailsafe" type="bool" value="true"/>
<property name="Count" type="int" value="5"/>
<property name="Client0_Command" type="array">

</property>
</property>
<property name="splash" type="empty">
<property name="Engine" type="string" value=""/>
</property>
</channel>
My new one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<channel name="xfce4-session" version="1.0">
<property name="general" type="empty">
<property name="FailsafeSessionName" type="string" value="Failsafe"/>

</property>
</property>
<property name="splash" type="empty">
<property name="Engine" type="string" value=""/>
</property>
</channel>
What I did was change the window manager back to xfwm4 here:
<property name="Client0_Command" type="array">
<value type="string" value="xfwm4"/>
</property>
Then make openbox --replace run after that (to kill xfwm and start openbox) by adding this:
<property name="Client5_Command" type="array">
<value type="string" value="openbox"/>
<value type="string" value="--replace"/>
</property>
<property name="Client5_PerScreen" type="bool" value="false"/>
And lastly, make xfce recognize that last entry by changing this:
<property name="Count" type="int" value="5"/>
for this:
<property name="Count" type="int" value="6"/>
Relog after that and there you go

SOLVED xfce4 panel gone

my xfce4 panel no longer loads when I run startfce4 from the command line. I reinstalled the xfce4-panel package and the xfce4 group. restarted X and still nothing. when I go into settings->Panel manager from the menu nothing happens. can anyone point me in the right direction so I can get my panel back?
Last edited by farkus888 (2008-10-03 08:25:39)

I looked around and foung ./config/xfce4 in my home directory. to be safe I deleted that entire directory and all of its contents. got out of my desktop. cleared pacmans cache so that I would be pulling the packages from the web new in case it was a bad download issue. then did an in place reinstall of the entire xfce4 group, which does include xfce4-panel. when I logged back in my entire desktop was back to the defaults except I still have no panel and cannot load the panel manager to try to turn it back on.

[SOLVED] xfce4-panel/workspace with compiz/xfwm4

Its the weird problem:
in compiz (ccsm/general option Desktop Size)
* Horizontal Virtual Size = 4
* Vertical Virtual Size = 1
* Number of Desktops =1
in xfce (setting/workspace)
* No of Workspace=1
# Problem 1
It seem `xfce's no workspace` == `compiz's no of Desktop` is hard linked
compiz ==> xfce4 : no of workspace changes from 1 to 4
xfce4 ==> compiz : no of workspace changes from 4 to 1
# Problem 2
if you change compiz's
* Number of Desktops = 4
The Problem 1 is solved BUT
.. xfce4-panel starts acting weird!
showing all the workspace windows in one panel
Last edited by rhoit (2013-01-18 16:34:13)

GOT # reply form IRC
(10:13:36 PM) soreau:
Number of Desktops should always be one. Compiz is unique from other window managers in that it uses (GL) viewports instead of desktops. (multiple desktop functionality was never actually implemented). Most DE components only support desktops, not viewports, even though it's part of the EWMH spec.

[SOLVED] xfce4-panel: Window buttons w/ Compiz

Hi, I've successfully done the seemingly daunting task of getting Compiz to work with XFCE. Everything appears to be set up, got my keyboard shortcuts in order, etc., however I don't like how the xfce4-panel's Window Buttons behave when running with Compiz. I have specifically set it to show only windows visible on the current desktop (or as Compiz calls it, viewports), but it looks like it still shows all windows from all viewports, as if like it treats all of them as one big desktop. I know this is a problem with xfce4-panel still thinking that it's communicating with xfwm, but I do like to resolve this annoying pet peeve. Are there any workarounds/fixes/patches for this that could help? Thanks in advance.
Last edited by qtcaroline22 (2012-05-17 01:53:05)

I made Compiz autostart with XFCE using the first method with the Fusion icon as described in Compiz's Arch Wiki article. Perhaps it is related to Xfwm and Compiz running together? I'll try the other methods and see if the problem persists.
EDIT: I fixed it, I just followed the solution on this thread and everything works perfectly now. Seems like Googling with the right keywords will almost always point me to the solution.

[solved] xfce4-panel plugins keep crashing after update

I've been having problems with xfce4-panel after some recent updates. Several plugins for it, like the Action Buttons, CPU graph and Notification Area keep crashing right after being added to the panel. The error message isn't very helpful, just saying the plugin in question "unexpectedly left the panel". Any ideas on how to debug this?
Last edited by vox.cogitatio (2012-06-12 15:36:38)

I found the problem. I was running the panel without the rest of xfce4. I thought this was doable, but apparently some applets assume you have the base packages of xfce4 installed, as the problems ceased when I installed them.

[SOLVED] Xfce4, panel that at desktop level.

I would like to have a panel that is not always on top.
Reading around I find this solution:
First set an hidden setting on the panel:
$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-1/disable-struts -t bool -s true
Find the panel ID.
$ wmctrl -l | grep xfce4-panel
0x00c00004 -1 mysticalwhatisit xfce4-panel
0x00c00020 -1 mysticalwhatisit xfce4-panel
Put the panel below (by chance as from what I understood you cannot be sure of what is the correct one...).
$ wmctrl -i -r 0x00c00020 -b add,below
It works, but the effect is lost after a xfce restart.
I found a solution about an hackish bash script executed every login, but it seems so crazy... there is really no better way to get a panel that is not always on top?
Last edited by ezzetabi (2012-03-31 07:18:24)

Well, from the lack of answers I guess there is really no other solution. So here is a small bash script that might help everyone with the same problem:
#!/bin/sh
function getPanelIdImpl() {
PANEL="`wmctrl -l | sed -n -e '/xfce4-panel$/ s_ .*$__ p' | sed -n -e $1' p'`"
function getPanelId() {
getPanelIdImpl $1
while [[ x == x$PANEL ]] ;do
sleep 0.5s
getPanelIdImpl $1
done
function putPanelDown() {
PANEL=""
getPanelId $1
wmctrl -i -r $PANEL -b add,below
#putPanelDown 1
#putPanelDown 2
Just call putPanelDown with the panels you want not always-on-top.

[SOLVED] Xfce4 panel, no notification area

I've just installed Fluxbox onto my Arch install and I desired a proper panel, because of the relatively few dependencies and lack of messing around I chose the xfce4-panel. However I can't seem to have a systray/notification area. If I attempt to add one to the panel I get the error
"There is already a notification area running on this screen."
Which there isn't, not to my knowledge anyway. After that box closes I get the message;
"Could not open "systray" module"
I've been looking around for a while to see if I can install said module, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

I only want one desktop.How can I get rid of a 2nd desktop?

I have desktops to choose from. I could see where this mught be handy, but riight now I find it downright annoying to suddenly switch desktops because I swiped or did something else to make i switch.
I cannot find a setting for multiple desktops.

* Enter Mission Control (You can do this by pressing a key, e.g., F3 in recent MBPs. See System Preferences, Mission Control for the current keyboard shortcuts.)
* You should see the available desktops as little windows along the top of the screen.
* Hover your cursor over the one you want to delete (hover, not click) until a little x appears.
* Click the x.

[SOLVED] XFCE4.10 main panel and freeze problem

Hello everyone.
I just have upgraded to XFCE4.10 and after rebooting (as the update included also a new kernel) the main panel is double its size just like the icons. I would have included a screenshot but here is where my second problem appears.
Whenever I try to open a window the system just freezes.
The strange thing is that when I try random things (checking 'Appearance' to see if my Oxygen theme wasn't working anymore with 4.10 or fixing the missing 'Separator' issue for correct window display - former freezed though after clicking on 'Accept') it works but the 'real' things (opening browser - both from applications menu or xfce shortcut panel - or Thunar) do not.
I also noted that when trying to save the 'Separator' fix when I hit the actions button to close the session I was directly just given that option instead of displaying the full menu of restart etc.
Should I consider this a new issue or something I have to setup in 4.10 in comparison to 4.8 where it work perfectly?
I am considering a kernel downgrade to see if it fixes the freeze issue though I doubt, if it does, it would relate to the panel size issue (or that 'only close session' allowance that I have just referred to). The reason for not having tried the downgrade yet is that the system apparently works fine as long as I do not open any window "for real", as said.
Any suggestions?

%$$& Wrote everything nicely down and got logged out xD
Let's see how much I remember.
First of all, right now writing from my downgraded 3.3.3-1 kernel. I didn't succeed doing the downgrade while the 3.3.4-1 was loaded thus I had to do it using the change root method. That way I also discovered the, apparent, reason for the user modules fail at startup and the freezing at the login screen I reported in #3. Somehow the system was using the 3.3.3-1 kernel (I do not know when it installed successfully) but the 3.3.4-1 headers. Most likely I made a mistake somewhere during my previous change root attempt when fixing a *new* unable to find root device that popped up then.
As said, I have been able to downgrade using the Arch Install CD and through the change root method but received the warning,
directory permissions differ on usr/src/linux-3.3.3-1-ARCH/
filesystem: 700 package: 755
after the install/downgrade of each package (linux-docs, linux-headers and linux). Should I consider this a new problem? System works fine so far thus I am not sure about this.
Prior to successfully downgrading I tried to install the LTS kernel but wasn't successful with the 3.3.4-1 kernel loaded. Just like with the downgrade I tried using the change root method and could install it.
But despite updating grub's menu.lst accordingly I was receiving an 'unable to find root device message' which could not be fixed through the change root method just like with the 3.3.4-1 kernel (in case of the LTS one changing the final step from mkinitcpio -p linux to mkinitcpio -p linux-lts as far as I understand it). I might give it another try installing it in this working environment later on and report back with the results.
@ConnorBehan
As I have just stated the user modules fail message and the login screen freeze were surely my fault but the error messages I referred to from the beginning with the 3.3.4-1 kernel were like these,
.... = increasing numbers/disk sectors(?) (left/right)
.... ext4_reserve_inode_write .... [ext4]

@foutrelis
You may be right with regard to the drive as it is a quite old laptop I am running Arch on. Now that you refer to the drive could the freeze/errors I reported to ConnorBehan be related to the tweaking of the vm.vfs_cache_pressure value I did?
I am just taking a wild guess myself comparing my ide drive to your ssd one. I had never had this kind of problem prior to 3.3.4-1. Just as if this kernel could not handle my tweak anymore (value is 50 and worked fine so far).

[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!

Pekwm + xfce4 panel [SOLVED]

Hi all
After reading in the forum about pekwm I decided to give it a shoot.
I just love the "tabed" window funktion
Now to the problem
The trouble i have is that when I'm using mplayer or gmplayer in fullscreen mode the panel and iconbox is in the foreground.
Conky and all other windows stays in the background
Is there a way to alter this behaivior.
My .xinitrc
xfce4-iconbox &
xfdesktop &
xfce4-panel &
conky &
exec pekwm
Many thanks

Dusty
Hi Dusty
After your tip I dug into Pekwm and found the autoproperties
~/.pekwm/autoproperties
I added this
Property = "^xfce4-panel,^Xfce4-panel" {
ApplyOn = "Start"
Layer = "Harbour"
Property = "^MPlayer,^MPlayer" {
ApplyOn = "Start New"
Layer = "Menu"
Now my mplayer gets the top window placement.
Tanks for the tip

XFCE4 panel Action buttons don't work

Hello,
I'm having multiple problems with Action buttons from XFCE4 panel. I use slim (1.3.3-5) and Xfce (4.10).
1. Suspend and switch user option is greyed out.
2. The 'main button' (which displays user name) appears about 2 minutes after log in. When I try to click on it, it's unresponsive for about another 2 minutes.
3. When I finally get to click on 'Shut Down' it only logs me out to slim.
When I restart dbus (/etc/rc.d/dbus restart) while logged in to XFCE the button appears instantly, and is responsive. Shut down doesn't work though.

It could be an issue with your session environment not being set correctly. I use the following script to start my session (using lightdm, not slim, but this should be ok for your xinitrc)
#!/bin/sh
# Load profile
for file in "/etc/profile" "$HOME/.profile" "/etc/xprofile" "$HOME/.xprofile"; do
if [ -f "$file" ]; then
echo "Loading profile from $file";
. "$file"
fi
done
# Load resources
for file in "/etc/X11/Xresources" "$HOME/.Xresources"; do
if [ -f "$file" ]; then
echo "Loading resource: $file"
xrdb -nocpp -merge "$file"
fi,,,,,,,
done
# Load keymaps
for file in "/etc/X11/Xkbmap" "$HOME/.Xkbmap"; do
if [ -f "$file" ]; then
echo "Loading keymap: $file"
setxkbmap `cat "$file"`
XKB_IN_USE=yes
fi
done
# Load xmodmap if not using XKB
if [ -z "$XKB_IN_USE" ]; then
for file in "/etc/X11/Xmodmap" "$HOME/.Xmodmap"; do
if [ -f "$file" ]; then
echo "Loading modmap: $file"
xmodmap "$file"
fi
done
fi
unset XKB_IN_USE
# Run all system xinitrc shell scripts.
xinitdir="/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d"
if [ -d "$xinitdir" ]; then
for script in $xinitdir/*; do
echo "Loading xinit script $script"
if [ -x "$script" -a ! -d "$script" ]; then
. "$script"
fi
done
fi
# Load Xsession scripts
xsessionddir="/etc/X11/Xsession.d"
if [ -d "$xsessionddir" ]; then
for i in `ls $xsessionddir`; do
script="$xsessionddir/$i"
echo "Loading X session script $script"
if [ -r "$script" -a -f "$script" ] && expr "$i" : '^[[:alnum:]_-]\+$' > /dev/null; then
. "$script"
fi
done
fi
echo "X session wrapper complete, running session $@"
exec $@
Also, you may need to wrap consolekit around your session as per the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce
Cheers.
