is the source code for this available?  I'd like to use it on ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, but it has problems and I can't configure the preferences.

its just a python script, ie not compiled, it will probably have installed in /usr/local/bin by default

Try running this command, then restart cbpanel:

sudo cp /usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2-desktop/python2.5/gtk-2.0/wnck.so /usr/share/cbpanel/wnck.so

I tried that, but there is no python-support/python-gnome2-desktop  directory on my computer.  However, I found it in /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.5/gtk-2.0/wnck.so

Once I copied that over I ran the cbpanel.0.2.1-all.deb found here:  http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/cb … .1-all.deb

Then I was able to get cbpanel working on my 64 bit Ubuntu minimal install with Crunchbang script.  For some reason, version 0.3 didn't work and the preferences menu wouldn't show up 90% of the time, and when I got it to show up, I couldn't select the menu.

Hopefully it keeps working.

Que pasa?

Cbpanel is great (better than LXpanel, Pypanel and Tint2, imo), but the name and branding are a little distro-centric.  I know it was written for Crunchbang, but I feel it'll appeal to users of other distros who have an OB based desktop. Perhaps it could be called OBpanel and the menu could call whatever icon the user's current icon theme offered instead of the hard-coded #! icon (maybe set that as the default but give the user the means to change it in preferences).

Just an idea. Don't kill me :p

Try running this command, then restart cbpanel:

sudo cp /usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2-desktop/python2.5/gtk-2.0/wnck.so /usr/share/cbpanel/wnck.so

Yep. That did the trick. Thanks :D

BTW, I'm using a 64 bit system.

I think so .. :D

Update : http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/cb … .1-all.deb

Bye ..

I love Crunchbang Panel.  Unfortunately, I bought a new computer and crunchbang wouldn't recognize my hardware.  So, I've installed Ubuntu and then Openbox on top of it.  However, Crunchbang Panel won't work with Ubuntu 64 bit.

Will you be releasing a 64bit version soon (specifically built for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic)?  I'm kind of stuck until I get crunchbang panel installed.  Alternatively, is the source available with instructions on how to install it?

Thanks.

This is what my panel looks like

I installed the latest deb for cbpanel, but I seem to be missing the tasklist :/

Other than that it works fine
