CrunchBang Panel (Page 2 of 5)

open terminal , go into cbpanel directory :

./cbpanel

or

python cbpanel

Yes .. Like it. I think we have a winner 
Thanks

Here is the output from the terminal - thanks for the tip, by the way ;-)

I installed the python items, then ran the command.
Still neither menu nor systray.

EDIT : Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and the systray is up & running.
EDIT 2 : I have no debian-menu.xml in my /var/lib/openbox/, it is empty.

Is there a 64bit deb package for this panel?  I didn't find a link.

I would like to test!

Do it ! 

Thanks ..

So .. Here a package ( again for testing purpose ) : http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/cb … .1-all.deb

What's new ?
* A very basic Preferences UI
* Re-write most part of panel
* New menu ( parse *.desktop file in /usr/share/applications )
* ...

Not yet :
* you can't configure plugin ( add/remove ; position on panel )
* no position left / right
* ...

Bye ..

Hi anonymous,

I think I forgot some dependencies when I packaged panel .. Can you install " libwnck* "

david@acer-desktop:~$ dpkg -l | grep libwnck
ii  libwnck-common                             2.24.1-0ubuntu1                                            Window Navigator Construction Kit - common f
ii  libwnck22                                  2.24.1-0ubuntu1                                            Window Navigator Construction Kit - runtime

some buggy stuff ( like focus ) with them .. working on

what button do you mean ?  last one ( popup with settings / about / .. )  ? 

Does "new" menu work for you ?

Bye ..

Well .. showdesktop plugin and task/windowlist plugin depends on " wnck " .. So I think it's the problem
Can you launch ' cbpanel ' in a terminal and take a look for some error ?

One other test you can do ( if you want to ) :  remove lib wnck.so in cbpanel directory and install python-gnome2-desktop

sudo rm /usr/share/cbpanel/wnck.so
sudo apt-get install python-gnome2-desktop

Python-gnome2-desktop  has his own python-wnck wrapper to libwnck.. maybe some diff with release ?

Thanks for your feedback

Yes .. my lib wnck.so doesn't work on your system. 

sudo rm /usr/share/cbpanel/wnck.so
sudo apt-get install python-gnome2-desktop

and It shoul'd work. 

Bye

@ anonymous : I know that is crappy .. This is why I pack my own wnck.so
Are you on 64bit ? 

If you have time to test , you really only need this file '/usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2-desktop/python2.5/gtk-2.0/wnck.so' from python-gnome2-desktop
So you can install python-gnome2-desktop ( and dependencies ) ,

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

and remove python-gnome2-desktop ( and dependencies )

I know that really sucks ... I thinking about re-write  these plugins with python-xlib ( but wnck is more simple )

This is a bug in libwnck, it prints warnings when it finds an atom it doesn't know about, even if it doesn't start with _NET.   ( source )

Oupss ..    so showdesktop need more testing ( or maybe some conky tweak ? )

Ok, it's Cool   Thanks for your test / feedback
