Is it possible to show the output of a command in xfce4-panel? Like you would do with Conky.The Xfce battery monitor consistently uses a bit of my CPU so I wish to run "acpi" (and work out a clever way to just show the percentage) every 5 or 10 minutes in the panel.

When I try to add the Icon Box, Task List or several others to the panel, I get "Could not open 'iconbox' module".
There is an iconbox module in /usr/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins, along with some others, but they all date back to 3/29. In /usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins, there is a mix of newer and older files.
Did the icon box go away? Do I need to nuke ~/.config/xfce4?
Upgraded my system and again gnome got messed up. Mate doesn't run on Debian 8 so decided to try XFCE4.
How can move the panel to the bottom of the screen ?
I go to applications -> settings -> panel
I can choose between vertical / horizontal / deskbar.
Original tittle, edited for add the tag [SOLVED] on subject How can I save the configuration of panel of the xfce4 ?
I have a pretty panel configured on my xfce4 (debian lenny). How can I save the configuration of my panel ? I'm afraid to lost my configuration in some situation of error.
I'm thinking of using a GIT repo to get version 4.7 of xfce4-panel, but I need to know if I need to backup any config files before removing version 4.6 through apt. I have several panel buttons that I don't want input again (could easily take 30+ minutes of clicking).
I do realize that 4.7 will become stable on Jan 16, but that doesn't mean it will be available through apt. If someone knows for sure whether it will be, or how I can find out,
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to enable 'intellihide' behavior for the xfce4 panel. That is, is it possible to autohide the panel only when a window is covering it, as is possible with most docks?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI posted this same issue in the Xfce support forums this morning. So far, no replies. This morning, using Synaptic, I finally upgraded my main Wheezy Xfce 4.6 computer to Xfce 4.8. There were 225 upgrades, plus 33 new things to be installed. It has been about 2 weeks since I last fully upgraded that system, so I'm sure that not all of today's upgrades were directly related to Xfce 4.8.
I waited to upgrade as long as I did because Wheezy's been getting a steady stream of Xfce 4.8 upgrades for the past several days -- I wanted to wait until that stream stopped, to reduce the chances that I would run into an upgrade problem that was on the verge of being fixed.
The only issue I had was that, in the middle of the configuration step (for lib6, I think), it asked me to either stop or restart xscreensaver before continuing (so that I wouldn't get locked out of the current session), so I completely stopped xscreensaver.
I get the following messages while starting up. This also delays my desktop initialisation.
Code:
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_GB.
Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default.
/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
xrdb: "Xft.hinting" on line 9 overrides entry on line 6

If I run in terminal tail -f .xsession-errors while my system initialises, I see these messages appearing every 5 sec.
I forgot a lot of my command line. I am doing cat file | grep "error" and i would like it to show everything to the right of G:/ including G:/ if possible. I figure its an awk command but i dont know what. I tried awk '{print $8+}' but + does not work like i hoped and guessed.

xfce 4.4
Qt 3.3.8
KDE 3.5.7
KGet v. 0.8.5
I've just installed all of the packages in disks 1 and 2 of the slack 12.0 distro so, among them, I have the slack series kde/ installed. I run xfce as the desktop environment, which is able to run KDE apps. In main menu>Network there is kget, a download manager and also supposedly a p2p client. I ran it and it said "It is the 1st time you run kget. Do you want to make the default download manager?". I replied "No". As nothing happened I restarted X (the startx command ends up running xfce), ran kget again, and it made the same question, which this time I answered in the affirmative.
Again nothing happened. So I tried to download some file from the web, in the hope that a kget window would open. But no window opened nor anything else happened! In the console, I did 'ps -e' and there it was, however. So I began the search for documentation. First I ran khelpcenter, and was presented with the kget help. It was all about menus. However, typing kget --help-all in a console, gives almost two screens of information. And I tried several commands, from the GUI, following the syntax displayed by this command, but it was no use. So, I finally had to fall back on LQ, like so many times.
I installed the xfce4-quicklauncher plugin from a tar file in Slackware 13.37. It is showing as installed in gslapt, but it is not showing in the xfce panel's "Add New Items" menu.

I have a script that is in Unix. I wanted to know is there any difference between output of ls command in unix and linux
In Unix
Code:
ls -ltr | awk '{print $9}'
In linux output is something similar to
Code:
drwxrwxrwx 2 vinay vinay 4096 2010-02-04 20:31 test
According to above output nothing will be displayed for
Code:
ls -ltr | awk '{print $9}'
ls -ltr | awk '{print $8}' will give test as ouptut in Linux.
I wanted to check the output format for ls -ltr, Anyone using Unix systems may paste a sample output of the command ls -ltr..
