XFCE in Mandrake 9.1?

tigerflag · 09-10-2003, 02:21 PM

The XFCE package that came with my 9.1 is broken, or for some reason won't work right in 9.1. Does anyone know if Mandrake fixed that problem? Is there a working RPM of XFCE for Mandrake 9.1?

Well, there is an rpm in cooker that does work. I know several people who use XFCE both version 3.3 and version 4. You can get the cooker rpm here: ftp://213.232.94.69/pub/Mandrake/coo...-2mdk.i586.rpm

I followed your link and downloaded the XFCE from Cooker, and get the same problem I had with the earlier version:
I can't save any settings, like to turn off the annoying sounds. When I log out, XFCE says it can't write to a log. It's like there's something missing. I seem to remember there was a missing library, or a needed library that was incompatible with some aspect of Mandrake 9.1?
If anyone has XFCE working in 9.1, can you tell me how you did it?

Check here: http://www.xfce.org/en/xfce3.html#requirements for a complete list of requirements. Once you have found that, check urpmi that you have them all installed.
