Doesn't work with xfce4-panel 4.12

Open colinkeenan opened this issue 10 years ago • 7 comments

After upgrading to Xfce 4.12, when I try to add "Window Header-Title" from xfce4-windowck-plugin to a xfce4.12-panel, I get the following error:

Plugin "Window Header - Title" unexpectedly left the panel, do you want to restart it?"

The plugin restarted more than once in the last 60 seconds. If you press Execute the panel will try to restart the plugin otherwise it will be permanently removed from the panel.

Here is a screenshot:

Ok, thanks for your report. I not much time left at this time but I will take look at this problem.

I've installed the plugin version 0.3.0 with xfce 4.12.0 with success.

Please, can you tell me witch version of the plugin didi you use. Have you tried with the latest version ?

I have installed the same version, and have found the problem/solution. It wants /usr/lib/libxfce4util.so.6, but Arch is using /usr/lib/libxfce4util.so.7 (which links to /usr/lib/libxfce4util.so.7.0.0).

I fixed the issue with:

sudo ln -s libxfce4util.so.7.0.0 libxfce4util.so.6

But, it would be better if this package just used /usr/lib/libxfce4util.so which will always link to whatever version is installed.

Thank you colinkeenan. Is strange because I have not libxfce4util.so.6 installed (only libxfce4util.so and .7) and it's work...

With updates to the Xfce packages in Arch, including repackaging this one, I no longer need the link creating libxfce4util.so.6. It works fine without that for me now. But, you are using Arch too of course, and I had updated my system back on the 21st when it was working for you and not me. If you weren't using testing packages, then I don't really understand. I wasn't the only one with this problem though, as you saw in the AUR comments. I suppose it might have something to do with me using the archlinuxcn repo.

I've been using KDE for years now and have stopped doing anything with Xfce. Maybe someone else will look into it.
