Re: LXPanel Plugin Development Libraries

Hi, I'm looking to start developing lxpanel plugins. I've read through the how to's but have hit a problem... I don't have the proper libraries installed to compile my source code. I'm currently running Raspbian but can switch to OS X if necessary. Thanks. It is great to learn that you plan to deve...

How hard would it be ... to test your hypothesis ... by simply ... uninstalling those packages?

Re: Not very user friendly forum

It looks like an intermittent issue. At the time where the complaints started I was shown that extra question at each login. Then it was gone for a couple of days, but now it is back.

Re: Help modifying code to Disable or Confirm close button

Great idea. Can you produce a patch against the unmodified lxterminal and upload it somewhere?

Re: boot problem

Hi Brian, I am not an expert for any of the three distributions. They all have their own message boards where you can get advice from more experienced / more specialized people. That said, you will need to make two separate decisions: (a) where to load the operating system from (CD-ROM or hard disk)...

Re: boot problem

There are several small Linux distributions that may run on the older machine with satisfactory speed. SliTaz , Puppy Linux , and TinyCore come to mind -- there are certainly more. All of them have a graphical user interface. The live ISOs are between 10 MB and, I believe, 100 MB. The first in my li...

Re: boot problem

Run a real distribution like Lubuntu or Fedora LXDE Spin or OpenSUSE LXDE. These are up to date and will be serviceable. While this is excellent advice for bwwoods, people with older computers will continue to download the ISO file from the LXDE site -- wasting their time, bandwidth, and good-will....

Re: boot problem

Although it has "i386" in its name, the live CD seems to need an "i686" processor or better. It's a known bug since, whow, more than one year now -- see this thread: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?t=560. In other words, your older machine is too old for the Live CD.

Re: LXpanel does not raise after auto-hide

daniele3, SliTaz 3.0 does out of the box what you want. After playing with the settings in SliTaz a little I believe that the following should do the trick: - in lxpanel: "treat the panel as a dock" and "minimize panel" must be activated (then restart the panel), - in openbox' rc...
