pindakoe Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) Are you compiling from source (possibly via the Os-cillation installer)? All (as far as I know) components of Xfce 4.3.90 (beta 2) are in the contrib repository so can be easily installed via urpmi. You can either (all as root): fire up rpmdrake and look for packages containing xfc, xfw and possibly xff in their name -- allows you to select manually urpmi xfce -- pulls in the rest of xfce as a dependancy; I don't use this so haven't checked what exactly it pulss in (and what not) Alternatively you can install Xfce 4.3.99.2 (Release Candidate 2) from "eslrahc" source (http://www.eslrahc.com/2007.0). This does not conflict with a standard Mandriva 2007.0 install (as far as I have been able to make out; now using it for a week). The main improvements I found are the newer version of Thunar (with trashcan / undelete) and a functioning DateTime panel applet (the package coming with mdv2007.0 is broken -- requires a wrong dependancy). There are obviously more differences, but you'll have to consult the ChangeLog. Edited January 4, 2007 by pindakoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
