Lubuntu Package

[huseyinkozan]

Hello,

Is it possible to package your software for Lubuntu 16.04 ? I tried to install with autogen, configure, make, make install but got some stuations. Here them:

Installed the required libraries :

sudo apt-get install lxpanel-dev libgtop2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev intltool

Configured:

./autogen.sh
./configure --with-lxpanel --without-standalone --prefix=/usr --with-gnu-ld
make
sudo make install

This installs into /usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins bu I need them into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxpanel/plugins. Made a link:

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxpanel/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins/multiload-ng.so multiload-ng.so

But now, cannot find liblxpanel.so.0 after ldd multiload-ng.so.

Hello! It is possible to tell configure which library directory to use. Please try running configure script like this:

./configure --without-standalone --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

Note that it's not necessary to add --with-lxpanel as it's automatically enabled if lxpanel-dev is installed.

If it works for you, we can close this issue and I will mention this situation in README. Please let me know!

Hi,

I cloned the master and entered these commands:

./autogen.sh
./configure --without-standalone --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

Lxpanel autodected:

....
Build Configuration:
* xfce4-panel :    no
* lxpanel     :    yes
* mate-panel  :    no
* standalone  :    no

Compile:

make

Some warnings:

Installed with checkinstall :

sudo checkinstall

Note: Version string was ng-1, fixed by setting 1.0.

At last, ldd out:

# /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxpanel/plugins
$ ldd multiload-ng.so | grep not
        liblxpanel.so.0 => not found

Hello. I tested plugin in Lubuntu 16.04.

I am experiencing your same issue with ldd not finding liblxpanel.so. I will look into this, library linking is done by autotools so I have to investigate.

However, despite of this issue, Lubuntu plugin seems to work correctly. Could you confirm that?

[hotice]

I deleted my earlier comment in which I said it occurs for me too, because it actually works for me as well, even though it can't find liblxpanel.so.0.

[huseyinkozan]

I cannot see the applet. Should I reboot to activate ? Or any command to reload ?

[udda]

Restarting the panel should be enough:

killall lxpanel; lxpanel

Let me know if it works for you.

[huseyinkozan]

Thanks. It works now. Here some lxpanel output, if you need:

(lxpanel:5623): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type _OB_WM_ACTION_UNDECORATE

(lxpanel:5623): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type _OB_WM_ACTION_UNDECORATE

(lxpanel:5623): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type _OB_WM_ACTION_UNDECORATE

(lxpanel:5623): Wnck-WARNING **: Unhandled action type _OB_WM_ACTION_UNDECORATE

[udda]

Yeah I noticed these too, I think that these aren't related to plugin, as it's not using wnck.

Glad to see that the plugin is working! I'm closing this issue, feel free to open another if necessary.

Thanks.
