Slackware :: KGet In XFCE4 - StartX Command Ends Up

Jan 31, 2011

Kernel 2.6.21.5, GNU/Linux (Slackware 12.0)
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.

Slackware :: Failed To Initialize NVIDIA Graphics Device On Startx With Slackware 13.1

Aug 24, 2010

I installed slackware 13.1 x86_64 bit with multilib, and its been about a month already, I'm really enjoying slackware but I am being troubled with my nvidia card, and I need to get my 3D acceleration working. And I've been looking around the net for information and kept on trying to make my nvidia card to work but to no avail. I cant get X to start, once I put in a xorg.conf stating to use the nvidia card. After troubleshooting for almost 2 weeks and now at my wits end, I now come humbly looking for help in linuxquestions slackware community forum.I've installed nvidia 64 bit kernel, drivers from slackbuilds (version 256.44). The laptop model I'm trying to get it working is an -ASUS K52J Intel Core i3 2.40Ghz with 2GB RAM and with an Nvidia Geforce 310M with 1GB dedicated VRAM.

Slackware :: Mouse Not Working \ Jumps Alot And Usually Ends Up At The End Of The Screen Unable To Move?

Jan 4, 2010

slackware and am infact running Vector Linux which is slackware based. I used to use fedora on my old laptop got a new on and tried vector. The mouse on the new one doesn't seem to want to work properly, it jumps alot and usually ends up at the end of the screen unable to move, however does manage to click almost every icon on the screen and change desktops.A USB mouse works fine its just the touchpad.It's a Zoostorm Freedom and I can't even find the windows drivers for it let alone what i need for this. I tried editing the xorg.conf to stop the tab button, which doesn't do anything, installed the latest synaptics and still nothing, tried using what someone else uses and still nothing, I cant even find out what kind of mouse it is!?

Slackware :: Getting P7zip Gui To Work In XFCE4?

Jan 16, 2010

I just installed p7zip with GUI from slackbuilds, but there is a problem, since i can't get it to work with XFCE4. After looking into package, i noticed that .desktop files are installed into:

Code:

/usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus

there are total of 6 .desktop items:

Code:

ls -l /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 952 2010-01-16 15:12 p7zip_compress.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 949 2010-01-16 15:12 p7zip_compress2.desktop

[code]....

and if i look inside of one of these files, the syntax is quite KDE specific and are probably supposed to be seen in a menu when you right click on file. So the big question is: is it possible to make XFCE4/Thunar do something similar? So far i have tried to view p7zip_extract_to.desktop file in a text editor and i learned, that the command for this looks like this:

Code:

p7zipForFilemanager xd %U

And if I right click on archive and then select "Open With Another Application" and then input this command, then double click on archive, i get this nice pop up:

7zip.png

Which is fine for extracting, but when it comes to creating archives, it's a bit inconvenient to do this every time i need something archived. I would would really like to have 7zip menu when i right click on file, so i welcome ideas on this matter.

First and foremost please give me your opinions on what I want/should to do for security. I would like to set up my system sp that the session times out and requires a password to unlock the screen. Also I would like a firewall and maybe virus detection just in case. I want to set up a guest user with minimal to no privileges. How should I go about doing this?

Slackware :: Missing Panel Modules In XFCE4 - 13.37 ?

Jul 16, 2011

Upgraded from 13.1. Certain panel plugins seem to be gone in XFCE4.

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?

General :: Xfce4-panel - Show Output Of Command?

Feb 15, 2011

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.

Slackware :: Xfce4-power-manager-1.0.1 And No Battery Options

Oct 17, 2010

I noticed that there is a 1.0.1 version of xfce4-power-manager, so I tried it out last night. Note: It requires libxfce4ui >= 4.7. I compiled it using the same SlackBuild script as the one in Slackware 13.1. It compiled and installed just fine. However, when I logged out of XFCE and logged back in, I could only set a few options, and battery options were completely non-existant.

I double-checked, and my user account in in the power group. Has anyone else had a similar problem? In the meantime, I've downgraded back to the 0.8.5 version that Slackware ships with.

Slackware :: Xfce4-systemload-plugin Does Not Work After Install

Apr 16, 2011

I'm trying to build and install a package from source. I thought xfce4-systemload-plugin would be neat to have. I found the link to the source at http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/pan...temload-plugin. I struggled all the way through making the package and installing the package using "installpkg". When I try to add the plugin to my panel I don't see it in the "Add New Items" window as I expected.

Slackware :: Missing Xfce4-power-manager Icons In Xfce 4.8

Jun 25, 2011

I'm using Slackware64 13.37 with Robby's Xfce 4.8 build on a laptop with two batteries. I've noticed that when the charge for one battery is depleted, the empty battery icon for the xfce4-power-manager panel applet is displayed as an "image missing" icon (see the attachments for screenshots of how this progresses).

Is this just down to a missing image, or is it more subtle than that? Has anyone else had the same problem, and if so how did you fix it? So far I've tried clearing the GTK+ icon cache and reinstalling the hicolor icon theme package as suggested in other threads in this forum, but nothing changed.

Slackware :: Init 4 Wont Startx After Upgrade?

Jan 28, 2010

Thing is : I have an Install DVD created from current with the script from AlienBob about two months ago, I use it as my "default" Slackware64 13 install.

I had my drivers working ( KO modules loaded in kernel 2.6.29.6 ) I had to build for Broadcom Wireless and Nvidia GPU. Today I decided to make an upgrade w slackpkg, blacklisted kernel kernel headers, and everything pertaining to it. Still the damn thing installed 2.6.32.x. anyway, ran lilo to take notice of the change, and rebooted. booted allright, only when i Init 4, it failed to startx. new kernel, new mods needed to be loaded, i picked my DVD with drivers, and tried to run the Nvidia proprietary installer...

It uninstalled the previous driver and started compiling a new kernel module..I had the previous DVD installer of Slackware64 Current, as well as my private repo of packages, either built by me with src2pkg or makepkg, or from slackbuilds, I had my /home partition mounted apart, so i regenerated my system in about one hour...

Slackware :: Window Manager Unresponsive After Startx

Nov 10, 2010

I'm running Slackware 12.2 with wmii-3.9.2 as my window manager. My problem is that after startx wmii sometimes becomes unresponsive i.e., can't open xterm or any other program or even quit. have to use Ctrl+Alt+BkSpc.

"$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep (EE)" returns nothing. Though after quitting X I often see XIO error 11 (resource temporarily unavailable) but I don't know if this was caused by killing X. Graphics card is nVidia ION. I'm using the latest and recommended driver from [URL](260.19.12). //for xorg.conf see at the bottom

It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue as all the hardware is working properly (dmesg reports nothing suspicious). /var/log/messages reports nothing unusual (except for some acpid messages but that's probably another story).

I suspect it's something to do with my xorg.conf and/or the DISPLAY variable and/or wmii (because Xfce4 does not freeze). echo $DISPLAY returns :0.0 but this value is set by startx/xinit anyway. So I'm lost at this point.

My xorg.conf is:
---------- BEGIN ----------
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen1"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"

[Code]....

Slackware :: Install 64-bit Virtualbox Guest Additions Or Change Resolution In XFCE4?

Jul 1, 2011

When I try to change the resolution, it only shows 800X600 and 640X480 or something similar, nothing regarding a custom resolution. When I use the "Install Guest Additions" it won't mount because of some error, and so I can't open it, and even if I could mount and open it *I've tried it in other distros that don't automatically install it for you* I have no idea what to use. I've tried all of the .sh, even the autorun.sh and giving it executable permissions, and it STILL doesn't work. Perhaps I'm missing something, or there's a documentation out there that I can't find, but I can never get them to work. How can I fix this problem? I know in sbopkg, there's 32-bit Virtualbox Guest Additions but that doesn't work. The reason why I installed the 64-bit one is because I don't have 6 CDs to spare and I'm almost out of bandwidth and it has to last me a week. *I think around 200GBs out of 250GBs taken up so far, or more*
