How to use Rab's pypanel buffers patch?

vomix · 2007-06-25 18:23:08

Hi,

I'm just playing with arch & openbox, and I must admit that's a killer couple!
I'm using pypanel and would like to apply this patch. But I'm relatively new to linux and don't know how to proceed. Must I recompile the package? Or edit the /usr/bin/pypanel? Once done, what are the new variables to put in .pypanelrc?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my approximate english. (:D)

hmm, I see two ways to do this.

1. Copy /usr/bin/pypanel to a directory. Make another backup. Download the patch to the same directory. run "patch -N < downloaded_patch" (might have to use patch -Np1). Copy the patched pypanel back to /usr/bin, chmod 755.

2. Edit the pkgbuild, add the patch to sources, regenerate md5sums, after "cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver" add "patch -Np1 < ../name_of_patch". Run makepkg then pacman -U to install.

Wow, fast response.
I've tried the first method, and it worked like a charm, thank you!

This way of patching files is impressive. I'm learning day after day with arch, that's really exciting.

Hi i followed the instruction of the first method, but when I start pypanel, this is what i get:

rhandulle@Don-DiZzLe> pypanel                                   ~/SAMSUNG/panel

Did you put something like

P_L_BUFF = 6
P_R_BUFF = 6
P_T_BUFF = 0
P_B_BUFF = 6

in your .pypanelrc file?

nope, I didnt know that, its not mentioned nowhere in this thread.

nevermind!

so, I'd like to use this patch as well.

I put the patch into a file called bufferpatch

         # Setup the panel's window
         self.window = self.screen.root.create_window(P_START, P_LOCATION,

Not sure if the first two lines are correct. the dir where bufferpatch and pypanel are is ~/test if that matters.

When I do

patch -Np1 < bufferpatch

I receive the error of

patching file pypanel
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
Hunk #1 succeeded at 44 with fuzz 1.

what does this mean?

Does anyone have a valid link for this patch? I have used it before with success, but do not have a copy any more. I tried using the text in the code block above but it doesn't work properly for me.

Edit: That link might be valid, but on any PC / browser combination I have been able to try and access it, the page just renders blank. Any pastebin.ca url is just a white page. Maybe it hates Australians or something.

Decided to give the page a look in Links... gives me a few links that send me to a pages with bizarre terms of use / spam message combinations, that then link to an email transcript about replica watches. Really quite interesting.

With the help of someone from IRC (tigrmesh) I was able to get the patch. Can be accessed here http://pastebin.com/f240a16bf if anyone has problems viewing pastebin.ca like I did.

Note, pastebin.com drops @@ from the beginning of the third line of the file, so add those back in before trying to use it.

I heard pastebin.com runs on Windows servers and reformats your pastes with Windows instead of *nix newlines... I have had problems using patches because of that.
