Thunar-Archive-Plugin after Xfce 4.8 update

After the update to 4.8 all my "extract here" menu items are gone, I have un/installed thunar, thunar-archive-plugin, xarchiver, squeeze, ark, & file-roller trying to get the functionality back but to no avail. I am at a loss where to turn to next with this issue, I know its trivial but when your used to using a thing for years then its gone you miss it.
Regards

OK, I got it.
In case someone else has this problem. The Trash and Removable Media icons were checked in Desktop Settings/Icons, but none of them showed up on the Desktop. The reason turned out to be the way how I started up xfce: instead of
exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session
in my .xinitrc, it should be
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
startxfce4 is a script wrapper for xfce4-session, which also sets some env variables...
Thanks anyway

[Solved] thunar-archive-plugin won't install in Xfce 4.8.0

Hi again.
When I attempt to install the thunar archive integration package, this is the message I recieve despite having all the requirements installed.
NOTE for thunar-archive-plugin:
==> please install xarchiver, squeeze, file-roller or ark to use the plugin
Is there anything I can do to remedy this?
I found a thread from back in January with the same issue. But, These are different package versions involved.

Yes. I've had Xfce4, Thunar, and Xarchiver installed since day one of the initial netinstall.
No, Force installing the package doesn't work.
EDIT;
I ran the following command.
pacman -Rnss thunar xarchiver
I then ran.
pacman -Scc
After reinstalling all of the above apps, I now have the 'extract here', and 'extract to...' options available.

Thunar-archive-plugin not working with Ark

I'm trying to use thunar and ark together.
Drag'n'drop from Ark to Thunar does not work. (Drag'n'drop from Thunar to Ark does however work.)
Extract Here/Extract To from Thunar's context menu gives the following error:
Failed to extract files
No suitable archive manager found.
Desktop Environment/Window Manager is Enlightenment(18, official repository)
Please help

I don't know what sort of black magic occurred (my guess is mime database update when I reinstalled chrome), but now thunar detects ark properly and tries to use it. It does however not work unless I fix the extraction commands in /usr/lib/xfce4/thunar-archive-plugin/ark.tap.
create)
exec ark --add "$@" -f.zip
extract-here)
exec ark --batch --destination "$folder" --autosubfolder "$@"
extract-to)
exec ark --batch --dialog --destination "$folder" "$@"
(And that is old, like really 2 years? and this is not fixed yet? I also had to find out on my own how to fix the "create archive thing, added to the above for anyone who needs it", I mailed XFCE support/feedback about this since I'm too lazy to create an account to commit to their git.)
I still don't have drag'n'drop working though. Created a thread on it here.

[SOLVED]Remaining Batter time gone after Xfce 4.8 update

I opened this thread in the DE section because I think it's related to the recent XFCE Update.
I've updated my system. It included the XFCE 4.8 updates. After the update process it already noticed some changes to XFCE so I rebooted. After that I noticed that the applet for the remaining battery time does not show the time anymore. Just the status (like 60%). The remaining time is always 00:00 if I enable it. I already tried removing and adding the applet.

Before the update the time was shown correctly. I included the pacman.log from the update. If I type acpi in my terminal it gives
$ acpi
Battery 0: Discharging, 52%, discharging at zero rate - will never fully discharge.
Edit:
I found this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109318
When I enter acpi -p instead of acpi -b the time is shown. How can I make the applet now displaying the remaining time?
Edit2
An update of the battery applett fixed it

Cannot reposition applications in panel after Xfce 4.8 update

Hi,
Just pulled through the latest updates, which included Xfce 4.8. However, I now find I cannot move my applications around on the panel. Looking through the settings I could not find a way to enable this feature. I have also tried renaming ~/.config/xfce4 to enable the default settings, but no joy there...
Is there a way this can be done, or is this feature now unavailable?
Regards,
Ken

if youre not afraid of gnome depends, dockbarx is a fantasic task list replacement w/dnd and grouping. Adds to the xfce panel as an xfapplet.
Besides, you can use any panel you want...gnome/lxde/tint/awn...and so on with xfce. A panel doesnt not a DE make.

After Safari 5.1 update the following plugin is missing: Switchable Java Plug-in for WebKit

Hi, after Safari 5.1 update the following plugin is missing: Switchable Java Plug-in for WebKit Java Switchable Plug-in (Cocoa) — von der Datei “JavaPluginCocoa.bundle”. How can I add this plugin manually? Because some applets are not working now! I restored the OS to Safari 5.0.5,
now everything works fine. Is there any bugfix planned for Safari 5.1?

Thanks, already managed to fix it with Time Machine Back-Up, however, you need only to restore the Safari.app file (can be found in Applications in Time Machine at a date before the last software upgrade to Safari 5.1)
So, practically,
go to Enter Time Machine
-> browse (using the arrows at right hand bottom) to a date when everthing was still working
-> go to Finder
-> go to the hard drive (probably named Macintosh HD)
-> go to Applications
-> go to Safari.app
-> highlight Safari.app by clicking on it
-> hold 'ctrl' key and click again
-> select from the drop menu that appears 'Get Info'
-> next verify that is written 'version 5.0.5'
-> close Info drop menu
-> make sure the file Safari.app is still highlighted and click on 'Restore' under the arrows at righthand bottom of screen in Time Machine.
Now you can leave Time Machine by clicking on Cancel on lefthand bottom
Safari 5.0.5 will be added to the Applications under Safari.app (Safari 5.1 will also still be there and has the word (original) written behind it) drag this (original) marked file to the trash.
That's all, works very good and means the whole system does not have to be re-installed.
Hopefully Apple will cure this 5.1 version quickly - Make sure always to make a Time Machine Back-up before updating software!
Hope this works for you all!

Thunar-shares-plugin-0.2.0 installation fails

Greetings to all,
I am new to Arch and Linux. I am trying to get rid of windows completely and to get there I am trying out. I have successfully build my arch box. Everything is working perfect ( I can't believe the ease of use); but one little issue with installation of thunar-shares-plugin. I have a NAS on my network and would like to be able to mount the shares automatically and without being root.
I am using xfce-4.8 and the latest arch release as of last week 64-bit
I downloaded the plugin and I am following this how to http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/thunar … res-plugin.
When I launch the configure command-line "./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable prefix thunarx-1)" I get an error about thunarx not being found in the box.
checking for thunarx-1 >= 0.8.0... not found
*** The required package thunarx-1 was not found on your system.
*** Please install thunarx-1 (atleast version 0.8.0) or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
*** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that
*** pkg-config is able to find it.
From what I understand (after trolling on the internet) a lot of people seem to be having that issue. I could not find a fix.
Is their a solution (not too complicated as I am new:) ) or workaround ?
Any help is much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Riganta

Karol, thanks for your reply
This is what i did
1st step:
Install thunar-vfs using $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --> no issue there
2nd step:
Downloaded tarball (thunar-shares) here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/th/t … es-plugin/
makepkg -si and get this error
error: target not found: thunar-vfs
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
back to square one I am missing something but dont really know what

Macbook Pro running slow/(crawling) after 10.9.4 update

I paste in information on the system from EtreCheck below.
The Macbook is really crawling very slowly.
It may be a coincidence, but happened when I restarted after the latest software update 1st july from OSX 10.9.3 to OSX 10.9.4
Regarding How does it behave/How slow:?
Now, every task that may require the use of resources not recently used (menus, lists etc.) will take exceedingly long time. For example after the desktop appears with the top menu, it will take 3-4 min before any menus can be pulled down, same with dock, 3-4 min to show up. Clicking an app, 3-4 min before launches. Then after launched, some apps may run OK, for example Logic Pro.
When working in the Finder. Opening a folder may take 3-4 min, before the the file list shows. Then selecting a file - takes a minute before it gets hi-lighted. But is then fast to drag to an open folder on the backup drive. Copying a folder to a backup drive, is also fast.
Another example: It took two hours from logging in at this Forum, until getting here to post.!! (I'll read answers from another machine)
What I have done:
I have backed up with Time Machine,, in addition to manually backing up files.
I have ran Disk Utility and it reports the hard disk is OK. I have ran fix permission, only two were fixed. No difference.
I have reset the System Management Controller (SMC). No difference.
It is not a network problem, My network is fast and smooth with other devices,
I don't want to change hard drive 'just in case'. It fast to restore files from the backup. However
I have many licences apps and contents which will take several weeks to restore. I've done that before.
Is it likely that it is the hard disk that is failing without disk utility having a clue?

Thanks Melophage
You ask some (5) questions regarding the output of Etrecheck
Re #4 :"Have you tried uninstalling the fastestyoutubedownloader.com user launch agent, in case that’s causing a problem?"
Yes, now I have. Now it takes 40 min. from powerup to the login screen.!
My system report showed as I posted, before the removal:
"User Launch Agents:
[failed] com.fastestyoutubedownloader.TrialExpired.GoldFreeFirstWeek.plist"
I am ignorant about the matter. I too was surprised to find that item and the conspiracy deamon on my left shoulder had wild thoughts.
The app that generated the Launch Agent must have been FastestYouTubeDownloader.app,
It was downloaded as an app and no uninstaller. I think it was supposed to run fast the first week, and if you paid for it(upgrade license), it would remain fast or else work slowly. I tried it on one file and then threw it in the trash, as I would have no more use for it. But a nagging/promo dialog telling me the trial period was over came up 1st july, while the nagging came up I was notified (by appstore) that a new update of my system required a restart. I pressed that, my system was updated to 10.9.4 and after the update everything was slow. So the conspiracy deamon was whispering that maybe the app had made everything slow, by mistake, and not just the FastestYouTubeDownloader.
I really don't think so.
But I think the developers have to leave a mark somewhere to tell them that I have tried the software and maybe they have chosen the User Launch Agent for this? Then trying to remove it may just cause more problems, since it is not anything I should be able to do for obvious reasons.
I couldnt see what it was really doing from its content, it seems to me it should do nothing if the application was not found.
Re # 1 and #2
I have had these drivers all the time and not experienced problems with earlier versions of Mavericks.
Also, the ZOOM and the GR-55 is not connected.
Both had at least their own kernel-extension, a launch agent and a preference panel, but possibly more.
But I have now tried the Uninstaller that accompanies the GR-55 driver to remove it. It gave no improvements.
Re # 5
I have apperently two Flash Players, both have the same version number, one is outdated.?
Probably not good, but probably not my main problem(s).? I'm not using Flash often.
Re # 3
I have no idea, what the following listing
Launch Agents:
[invalid] entries
may refer to. In my HD/Library/LaunchAgents folder I only have
"com.zoom.R16DeviceManager.plist" the other entry in the report with same file name with added extension ".svn-base" I have no idea where is coming from.
I think this is not my primary problem though? even if I am curious where it comes from.
My Conclusions
Obviously with a boot time of more than 45 min doing diagosics and tests takes long time.
The Disk Utility verifies the disk as OK.   Onyx verifies the disk as OK (mabe the same test?).
I think my maachine is just getting worse. There must be a serious problem, not just a fine tuning issue.
The conspiracy deamon on my other sholder tells me that Apple have decided its time for me to buy a new computer again :-) ,It would have been a good idea if not for the pain of reinstalling licensed software which will require a 2 week vacaition doing nothing but restoring, Possibly having to purchase new licences costing more than the computer.

Very strange thing after 10.7.3 update?

Very strange thing after 10.7.3 update?
Everything seems to be working normal except the desk top BBC iPlayer which plays fine in a small window but when you go to full screen still plays the sound but the screen just goes black, no video?
I thought maybe the update knocked off one of the plugins or players but reinstalled iPlayer and same problem, anyone got a workaround or suggestion as to how I can fix it, am I the only one?
Full screen YouTube works fine.
Everything else seems ok, maybe running a little hotter and the fans are kicking in a little sooner but does feel a little snappier.
Thanks
Phil

Seems like they are on it

HELP... after 10.4.11 update I can't boot past the blue screen

HELP... after 10.4.11 update I can't boot past the blue screen, and it is pretty frustrating, to say the least. Here's what happened last night:
I installed elgato's eyetv 250, and at the end it asked to update the software. I did so, and when I tried to run it again it said I had to be running 10.4.11. I quickly went over and downloaded the 10.4.11 combo updater to my desktop and proceeded to repair permissions on my disk so I could run the updater.
I repaired permissions and started the updater. It got halfway through updating and said something like it could not finish and stopped. No reason why - it just stopped. I tried it again, and it did the same thing after going about 25 to 30 percent through the updating process. I thought that was very odd, so I checked, and I was running 10.4.9.
I thought I needed to get the 10.4.10 update, so I downloaded the combo updater several times. It would not run, giving me some error message that it would not even open, so I thought I needed to restart my computer to get it to run. I did so.
That's when my computer would not boot. It gets through the initial white screen with the logo in the middle and the revolving circle, and while it stays there for a long time the fans run increasingly faster. They tame down, and then the blue screen with "Mac OS" on it and the blue progress bar comes up. There is no blue progress bar, though... that's where it stops and will not go any further.
Can ANYBODY help me get this thing booted back up? It was so late last night that before I started I didn't back the Mac up, and of course I have a project on there that I need to finish Saturday afternoon for a company.
ANY HELP WILL BE SO GLADLY APPRECIATED. If you can give me step by step instructions on what to do, you will surely be blessed! Thanks for any help,
Barry

Hi mrstang, and a warm welcome to the forums!
It sounds like Disk Directory problems.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Be sure to use Preserve Users & Settings.

Safari slow-launch, crashing after 3.2.1 update

After installing the new update (3.2.1) for Safari yesterday, the application has difficulty launching. The icon bounces in the dock for a long period of time (sometimes 2 minutes) before the application finally opens or crashes or I force-quit. I have repaired permissions, restarted, moved/deleted the history.plist and the historyindex.plist
I'm running on a Macbook, OS X.5.5. I do not have any third-party hacks/add-ons, and I do not have a wireless mouse or keyboard.
Here is the crash report:

There's much more to the report than this; this is all that would fit. If there's something specific I should include, tell me and I'll add it. Also, the optical drive tries to eject each time I force-quit Safari.
Any help would be AMAZING. Thanks in advance!

Why has Apple done absolutely nothing to correct the Safari crashing/hanging problem? I have always loved my Mac computers. We have 3 in my home now, but if they continue to do nothing to resolve this problem, I may jump ship. If they are release something so lousy, they might as well work for Dell instead of ruining Apple's good name.
I--we shouldn't have to keep deleting files and such weeks after they release such shoddy software. Their is a reason we mac addicts pay more for Mac products. We think they are superior to other computers, but they are going to quickly go the way of the U.S car makers if this continues.
I'm sure this will be deleted immediately. Shouldn't they be focusing on correcting the software problems, rather than silencing those who complain, and having the buyer of their product putting bandaids on their browser?

Why has my camera stopped working on Skype on my macbook air after running a software update to 10.8.5?

Why has my camera stopped working on Skype on my macbook air after running a software update to 10.8.5?

See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:
