xfce 4.8pre1, pre2 & pre3

Below are the things I needed to install prior to completing the 4.8 install.  These are the packages I didn't have and I don't believe come with a base install:

intltool libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev libgladeui-1-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libwnck-dev

Pre1:
garcon_0.1.2 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+sou … ig.tar.bz2

Pre2:
garcon_0.1.4 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+sou … ig.tar.bz2

Pre3:
garcon_0.1.5 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/p … ig.tar.bz2

The rest is all (following the order of http://www.xfce.org/download/building):
$ ./configure (it will fail loudly if you need other packages installed prior to its installation)
$ make
$ sudo make install.

Re: xfce 4.8pre1, pre2 & pre3

Have a look at ~/.xsession-errors (if you use gdm) that might hint at the problem.

Thank You, Herd!

My .xsession-error is saying:
libexo-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libexo-module-1.so

The files both exist and are open for execution...

Re: xfce 4.8pre1, pre2 & pre3

Solved:
remove old xfdesktop-4.6.2 and libxfcegui4-4.6.4
emerge =xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.6.2 =xfce-base/libxfcegui4-4.6.4 -C

Re: xfce 4.8pre1, pre2 & pre3

tbk2000: re your issue, it's likely that you have an old version of libxfcegui4 still installed somewhere or some garbage leftover. I solved this by removing /usr/include/xfce4/libxfce4kbdprivate* and hten by reinstalling the latest libxfcegui4 (4.7.0) and libxfce4ui. Note that this could be in /usr/local/include depending on how you installed this stuff.

Cheers,

Jérôme

Re: xfce 4.8pre1, pre2 & pre3

Hi, tbk2000.

You say Thunar is not using removable media. Do you mean the media are mounted, but are not showing up in Thunar? Please check to see if you are not sure: plug in the media and see if it is listed with lsusb.

If this is the problem, it has been mentioned on a number of other forums. I have only seen it so far on one of our home computers - an Asus eeepc 900 running Linux Mint 9 Xfce. I have not been able to fix the problem, but my workaround is to log out, then log in. The removable media mysteriously appears in Thunar when I log back in.

Re: xfce 4.8pre1, pre2 & pre3

Thunar-1.0.2 should show it  when insert  removable media in computer.But Thunar-1.1.4 are not showing up and can't mount.The removable media is good.
log out ,then log in;it's not effect.

This is strange. Thunar should not have any effect on whether the media is mounted or not. Anybody else have any ideas?

Re: xfce 4.8pre1, pre2 & pre3

Thunar-1.0.2:insert the media(i.e. USB stick),an object that represents the media is added to the side pane of thanur.To actually mount the media, click on the object that represents the media.

Thunar-1.1.4:it's not the effect.

Re: xfce 4.8pre1, pre2 & pre3

tbk2000, I am still not 100% clear on what you are saying.
On most systems, if you plug in USB drive, it will automount.
To test whether the system can actually see the USB, use 'lsusb'.
To test whether the USB has automounted, use 'mount' (no options). For example, with a USB flash drive plugged in I see

/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sdb on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=1000,shortname=winnt)

showing that the drive is mounted at /media/disk

Are you saying: yes, the system sees this USB drive, and yes, it is mounted, but no, Thunar does not show it?

Or are you saying that on your system, if you plug in a USB drive, it does not automount but it shows up in Thunar anyway?

Re: xfce 4.8pre1, pre2 & pre3

Hi, tbk2000.

I'm on holiday now and away from my computers, so I cannot help further. Maybe someone else can suggest something?

Can you please try to rephrase this?

Also, is thunar-volman installed?
