Hi, thanks for the great dock. Trying to build it for Slacko, which is a type of Puppy Linux based on Slackware. Unfortunately, I can't get it to build. Here's the terminal output:

Hello,

This is strange, it seems that you've GMenu dependences but nothing is printed. Are you starting from a clean build directory?
What's the output messages produced by these commands?

pkg-config --print-requires libgnome-menu-3.0
pkg-config --variable=prefix libgnome-menu-3.0

Then I guess you can add this flag to disable GMenu: -Denable-gmenu=OFF

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -Denable-gmenu=OFF

OK cool I installed libgnome-menu and it compiled. Thanks.

However, the menu button doesn't appear, probably because this uses the JWM desktop environment. Is there any way I could get it to work?

Also, the shortcuts button doesn't work.

That is good. This is just the kind of information that helps everyone. Other Puppy Linux users, and other users building cairo-dock for various distros, can benefit from practical experience like this. Thank you.

However, the menu button doesn't appear

Is that the Application Menu icon in cairo-dock?
Does it appear in the list when you attempt to add an applet?
Is that with or without the -Denable-gmenu=OFF flag?

probably because this uses the JWM desktop environment

From what I have been able to find out JWM uses an xdg compliant menu so should not be a problem. But I have not used JWM since Damn Small Linux so I do not know for sure.

Also, the shortcuts button doesn't work.

Is the shortcuts icon showing in the dock?
Does anything happen when you click it?

Yes. It doesn't appear in the list. I didn't have to compile it with the OFF flag.

It shows. Bu it doesn't seem to do anything.:)

I have seen a reference to this with Fedora but I am not familiar with it. I was hoping to gather as much info as possible to help matttbe so if I ask a strange question that seems unrelated just let me know.

It shows. Bu it doesn't seem to do anything.:)

If you right click on the Shortcuts icon and go to the edit for Shortcuts and on the configuration tab are the "List drives and volumes" and/or "List bookmarks" selected?

About the problem with Shortcuts, can you check if gvfsd daemon is running?

ps aux | grep gvfsd
gvfs-ls computer:///

Is it better if you force the environment?

cairo-dock -e gnome

The Applications Menu applet should load a .menu file from this directory: /etc/xdg/menus/. Can you check if this directory contains files? May you also launch the dock from a terminal with this command and post here all output messages that you'll have?

cairo-dock -l debug --colors | sed -n "/GMenu\// {N;p;}"

Thanks for the replies.

# ps aux | grep gvfsd
root 25335 0.0 0.0 3832 736 pts/0 S+ 22:57 0:00 grep gvfsd
# gvfs-ls computer:///
bash: gvfs-ls: command not found

Seems the same after forcing the environment.

# ls /etc/xdg/menus
hierarchy puppy-filesystem.menu puppy-network.menu
puppy-business.menu puppy-fun.menu puppy-personal.menu
puppy-calculate.menu puppy-graphic.menu puppy-setup.menu
puppy-desktop.menu puppy-internet.menu puppy-system.menu
puppy-document.menu puppy-multimedia.menu puppy-utility.menu

cairo-dock -l debug --colors | sed -n "/GMenu\// {N;p;}"

doesn't show any output. (Unless I click the "New Launcher" icon, in which case it says "sh: Enter: command not found")

Cheers

Thanks for the replies.

# ps aux | grep gvfsd

# gvfs-ls computer:///
bash: gvfs-ls: command not found

This indicates that gvfs is not installed (which is required for file manager interaction like shortcuts). Is it available for this distro? I couldn't find information about gvfs on Slacko Linux.

There is a good explanation of the JWM menu here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=63009

It appears that even though the individual menus are xdg compliant JWM does not have a full menu like other distros (gnome, kde, xfce shown below):

gnome-applications.menu
xfce-applications.menu
kde4-applications.menu
kde-applications.menu

From what I get out of the information JWM uses a program /usr/sbin/fixmenus to read the file /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc to build the menus using the individual ones in the menus directory.

Yes, you need to install (and use) GVFSD daemon.

It's strange there is no /etc/xdg/menus/*applications.menu files. Or maybe they are located somewhere else?

echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/${XDG_MENU_PREFIX}applications.menu

I added the gfvs package, but it still isn't working. That's ok, though, I can live without it. Thanks anyway.

The main thing is getting the menu button working. That's going to make this awesome. Here's the terminal output:

# echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/${XDG_MENU_PREFIX}applications.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu

Cheers

Is it launched before the dock? And also with:

cairo-dock -e gnome

The main thing is getting the menu button working. That's going to make this awesome. Here's the terminal output:

Yes but this file is not available :-/

Cool, thanks, I now have an applications.menu file in /etc/xdg/menus. It looks like this:

So I recompiled the plugins package and reinstalled, but there is still no menu applet, and I can't even seem to find where it would be in settings...

When you go to the Add Applet for cairo-dock it should be listed as Applications Menu for the category Desktop.

What do you get when you run the following from a terminal

ls -l /usr/share/cairo-dock/plug-ins/GMenu

Also what is the output from:

cairo-dock -l debug --colors | sed -n "/[Mm]enu\// {N;p;}"

cairo-dock -l debug --colors | sed -n "/[Mm]enu\// {N;p;}"

just seems to start the dock, without any output.

Here's a screenshot of the Desktop applets category:

OK. There should be output of at least the applet searching for menu files. What I would do at this point is try a make clean and then run the cmake and make commands again with the correct flags. If that doesn't work I would remove my build directories and start the build again looking for build errors.

To remove the build you can try the following or just remove the build directories with "rm -r build".

cd cairo-dock-core
mv build build.bk
cd ../cairo-dock-plug-ins
mv build build.bk
cd ..

Then start the build process again http://www.glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=By%20compiling&lang=en#4-Compilation

cd cairo-dock-core
mkdir build && cd build
(and continue with the rest)

watch for any errors especially for GMenu.

And it can be interesting to check if you don't see any warning when launching the dock from a terminal.

I rebuilt cairo-dock, and didn't see any errors. However, starting from a terminal gives

warning : (/tmp/SBo/cairo-dock-3.3.2/src/gldit/cairo-dock-module-manager.c:gldi_module_new_from_so_file:160)
while opening module '/usr/lib/cairo-dock/libcd-GMenu.so' : (libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
warning : (/tmp/SBo/cairo-dock-plugins-3.3.2/gvfs-integration/cairo-dock-gio-vfs.c:cairo_dock_gio_vfs_init:55)
VFS Deamon NOT found on DBus !

I checked, and libffi is installed. I'm going to see if I can find some missing library link.

WOW. I got it working. Here's a screenshot:

It's ugly as hell, but it's something! I'm very excited.
