xfce4-panel (Internal plugins need the "X-XFCE-Module-Path")

whoops · 2009-05-03 17:16:20

Hi!

Is this just me having done something wrong, Is this still not fixed or do I have to copy some files over the old versions in ~/ to make a fix work?

A whole while ago I searched and found that Ubuntu bug 322654 so I thought: "oh, I guess Ubuntu fixed that a while ago, no need to confuse anyone here about it now..." - is this the same thing? Is it fixed in Arch? Am I doing it wrong? Should I have submitted something like that as Arch bug? Should I still? (Where do Babies come from? And how to I make easy money by purchasing the rights to sell an assorted range of great products to local customers in my spare time now?)

Uhm, yeah, too many questions. So...: "Uhm what?"

Still not working (not showing in panel menu):
xfce4-smartbookmark
xfce4-quicklauncher

full error message (starting xfce4-panel):

(xfce4-panel:29116): xfce4-panel-WARNING **: Internal plugins need the "X-XFCE-Module-Path" entry to work properly.

(xfce4-panel:29116): xfce4-panel-WARNING **: Failed to create plugin "smartbookmark"

(xfce4-cpu-freq-plugin:29129): Gtk-WARNING **: Invalid icon size 24

(last few lines most likely "my bad, not related, everything works fine, just ignore" - I guess)

thx

Reinstalled üanel & plugins, cleaned some stuff in ~, no luck.

So I guess those two plugins are working for everyone else?

What else should I look for / try?

You're not the only one with problems.

You can either hack the file:

/usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins/quicklauncher.desktop

Remove:
X-XFCE-Module...

Add:
X-XFCE-Module=quicklauncher
X-XFCE-Module-Path=/usr/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins

Or you could use the PKGBUILD below

This is probably something that should be fixed upstream.

pkgname=xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin
pkgver=1.9.4
pkgrel=2.z1
pkgdesc="plugin that creates 4 little application launcher in the Xfce4 panel"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
license=('GPL2')
url="http://xfce-goodies.berlios.de/"
groups=('xfce4-goodies')
depends=('xfce4-panel')
makedepends=('pkgconfig')
options=(!libtool)
source=(http://goodies.xfce.org/releases/${pkgname}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('299e17f196ecfa5fb018cf65abb19b56')

build() {
local _tmp

cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}

cd panel-plugin
_tmp=quicklauncher.desktop.in.in
[ -f $_tmp.orig ] || cp $_tmp{,.orig}
grep > $_tmp -v X-XFCE-Module $_tmp.orig
echo >> $_tmp X-XFCE-Module=quicklauncher
echo >> $_tmp X-XFCE-Module-Path=@INTERNAL_PLUGIN_PATH@
cd ..

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4 \
--localstatedir=/var --disable-static
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=${startdir}/pkg install
}

Thanks, editing the .desktop files worked fine!

I've tried to change those things before based on random Information from the xfce documentation on plugin programming, but I would never have found the "right combination".

(didn't try the PKBUILD)

Please report this upstream and give us a link to follow.

I searched XFCE bugs and this seems to have been reported already.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem.

tried to edit the quicklauncher.desktop but with no success. Same bothering error and the XFCE panel flicker...

Then I tried the PKGBUILD, th source path was not correct so I edited it to the newest v 1.9.4, but when It was installed the error is still there.

Any other hints?

First of all: If you never got to try those two plug-ins - they're not really that useful and you might just want to remove them for now if you don't need them. I removed them, as soon as I tried them.

For the flickering you might want to open a seperate topic - never encountered that (although I had the other error on several distros), don't think it's related.

And to get back to the "X-XFCE-Module-Path" - error again: are you sure you didn't
- forget to remove the old X-XFCE-Module* entries?
- just not restart the panel yet?

Hi, the flickering on the panel is when the modules tries to load i guess, it stops when the warnings in the "background" stops.

removed the last entry X-XFCE-Moduel...and replaced them with the ones mentioned above in the other post.
