Missing panel widgets from lxqt: cpu monitor [solved]

graysky · 2015-08-22 10:59:22

After installing all the members of the 'lxqt' group, I'm finding a few widgets listed as available but are not visible despite being active. Can anyone else confirm that the CPU monitor does not work for you too? I also can't get the network monitor to work. In this context, work means appear in the panel.

I have the same problems. I solved for audio plugin this way:

I watched my logs

lxqt-panel[16007]: "Cannot load library /usr/lib/lxqt-panel/libvolume.so: (libpulse.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

So I searched the package with libpulse and I installled it. The panel widget is working.

I think we have to do the same for other widgets

lxqt-panel[13145]: "Cannot load library /usr/lib/lxqt-panel/libnetworkmonitor.so: (libstatgrab.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"
lxqt-panel[13145]: "Cannot load library /usr/lib/lxqt-panel/libcpuload.so: (libstatgrab.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"
lxqt-panel[13145]: "Cannot load library /usr/lib/lxqt-panel/libsensors.so: (libsensors.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

I've had the same problems. The missing libs are listed as optional dependencies for the lxqt-panel package:

I wish lxqt would notify the user about missing dependencies graphically and not just via the logs...
