Hello, I am a end user (desktop) on Fedora (F-15 Lxde). I already have reported lxpanel crashes on my distribution bug tracker with my system (older mobility radeon 9000 on a Pentium III notebook) when I was using Firefox. Workaround: prevent firefox to appear on the panel, by configuring openbox. I am now using Libre-Office. It crashes every 15 min. or so, as soon as there are more than 3 documents opened. I am aware of the situation (no lxpanel maintainer). But I have read a few post lately about bug fix. Could someone be kind enough to let me know if I can expect a update for my distribution (befor its EOL next april 2012), or if I should rather use another light DE on this particular notebook, until the LXpanel has a maintainer. Thanks in advance. I really like LXDE, but it can't be help when I need to Ctrl+Alt+Back space so many times a day. -- nomnex <no...@gm...> Freenode: nomnex Registered Linux user #505281.

Why do you need to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? Does Fedora not automatically respawn lxpanel after a crash the way Gentoo and Lubuntu do?

Interesting (with "it", you mean lxpanel, not liberoffice, right?).

I was under the impression that someone offered to do that. I kinda hate myself for not checking the git log before the translation updates.

And I can not build the current git HEAD, something is broken somehow and I need help with this. Anyone? Log: http://buildbot.lxde.bsnet.se/builders/LXDE-lxpanel/builds/95/steps/compile/logs/stdio (I use Debian Testing to test builds.) the thing that puzzles me is that the files mentioned in the log have not changed since the last release and that one built just fine.

A random tab opened in the panel causes a complete panel freeze, and the CPU rises up to 90%. If I keep a bash window session open, I can kill the lxpanel using it's PID, but when I start it again, I don't get the gray default color of my DE. It's black, but the tabs are gray. What command do I have to pass to restart the lxpanel with my distribution configuration (gray)?

Assuming you have no other libreoffice writer windows open, does the bug trigger when you open two documents in libreoffice writer, and then close them in the same order they were opened?

Ahh, that's not a crash, that's a freeze. My mother was experiencing those for a while, so I gave her Yakuake, wrote a little script I put at /usr/local/bin/reset_lxpanel, and taught her to use <F12>reset_lxpanel<Enter> My solution was basically the same as Geoffrey's except that, since she's using Lubuntu, the command was "killall -9 lxpanel; sleep 1; lxpanel --profile Lubuntu" If Yakuake is too heavy for you, you could also use the "kuake" plugin for urxvt. My config to enable that is at https://github.com/ssokolow/profile/blob/master/home/.Xresources if you want an example.

It seems my mail has been lost somewhere, so I am reposting i here: I've rebased the lxpanelx fork on top of the current lxpanel master. You can find the result here: https://github.com/bookwar/lxpanel There are three branches: 1) master - branch corresponds to the master branch of lxpanel repo, 2) svn-lxpanelx-filtered - detached branch exported from lxpanelx svn repo (you don't need it) 3) lxpanelx - the branch you need, with all the patches cherry-picked from svn-lxpanelx-filtered branch I have reviewed manually all the cherry-picks and edited some of them to fix the conflicts. So know it can be applied cleanly. I've build the result into rpm package. You can find srpm made for testing here http://files.bookwar.info/lxpanel-0.5.8-2.boo.src.rpm. It works on my Fedora 16. But there are some issues left: - wnckpager applet segfaults when you remove it from the panel (I need to test, if it is the applet bug or bug of rebased version ) - localization: taskbar plugin interface has number of new strings, so po-files need to be updated somehow - AUTHORS and ChangeLog files need some updates also.

Sorry for deep linking that. http://buildbot.lxde.bsnet.se/builders/LXDE-lxpanel/builds/95 has all the other steps listed. Every build is done in a temporary directory cloned from origin/master at build time. Thus; autogen is executed every time. configure is executed with --enable-man.

I don't think this is related to lxpanel. It looks like you have a .la file somewhere that still references libgio-2.0.la. (I can reproduce the bug by adding the reference to /usr/lib/libcairo.la.) Can you run the following command: find /usr/ -name '*.la' -exec grep libgio-2.0.la {} + It should tell you which .la file(s) are still referencing libgio-2.0.la. In case there are many, I am not sure which one is important for lxpanel. I am no .la file expert, but I do tend to think that the bug is related to .la files, and not lxpanel directly. BTW, for debian I found this: [1]. It says that la files are indeed posed for removal. HTH, Henry [1] http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval PS: Feel free to email me off-list on this. |

I don't know about shell scripting, but out of curiosity, Why Yakuake or kuake. both are KDE applications. I use LXDE on Fedora, and it comes with bash and lxterminal.

Force of habit on my part. I'm not actually sure if it's necessary when you're using SIGKILL. Other signals are can be caught, so it's possible that applications receiving things like SIGTERM and SIGINT might not have died before killall exits.

It will stay in the foreground, so you can hit Ctrl+C in that terminal when the panel freezes, and then start lxpanel again. You can get the list of defined profiles by checking "ls ~/.config/lxpanel/" in a terminal. HTH, Henry |

Two remarks for now: a) I immediately hit a bug in the thermal plugin that was fixed 5 commits after the point you chose to rebase on. (This is my own fault, I know!) Would be great if you could rebase it on an even more recent master. b) The lxpanelx branch and commit ab2b8cbefb in current master have different fixes for the same problem. I think that the fix in the mentioned commit is the correct fix. Not sure how to go about this.

I just noticed I didn't reply to everything. Sorry about that. (I didn't get much sleep last night) I've added the missed replies inline.

The "kuake" plugin included as part of any urxvt (rxvt-unicode) build which enabled the Perl plugin API at compile time. It's a simple little perl script that uses urxvt's plugin API to set up a borderless terminal window positioned top-center on your screen and binds a hotkey to hide/show it so you can run it on login and leave it around. When your panel freezes, that's probably the simplest way to run a restart script and urxvt is the lightest way you'll get that to work. (It competes with xterm for users. Both urxvt and xterm are lighter than lxterminal and provide a more featureful terminal emulation but you have to customize them by hand-editing ~/.Xresources and the config docs are archaic) > Thank you, > nomnex > |
