Re: xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin

My apologies - you are right. When I did my search I was typing xfce4-whiskersmenu-plugin as in whiskers plural and I did was getting 'no such package'. After reading your response I realized my mistake and I now have it installed now - Thank You

[solved]xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin

Hi, for those of us who have young hearts but old eyes it would be nice to have the whisker menu plugin available (xfce4-whiskersmenu-plugin). It's attractive without being garish and easier on the eyes.

Re: Salix KDE 14.0RC1

But my test computer won't boot from a DVD, only a CD. I wonder if there is a way to fix that so I can help out?
Can you boot from a flash drive? If so, this link may be helpful. http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/I ... _USB_stick

Another possible option would be VirtualBox.

Re: Problem with random freezes

I did some more research last night specifically regarding the Ivy Bridge controller, Intel HD4000 card and random freezes and was able to find a couple of articles confirming that there are known incompatibilities with that hardware combination and 3.2 series kernels. The suggested solution was to ...

Re: Problem with random freezes

Hi mimosa, Thank you for your responses. I have found some threads on this problem in the Slackware LQ forum. It seems at least some of the people who experienced the same problem had an Ivy Bridge controller and an Intel HD4000 graphics card, both of which I share. Some people say they have resolve...

Re: Problem with random freezes

If so, you might expect to see the output of kernel panics in any open terminal. Not sure what you mean, are you suggesting I keep a terminal window open continuously during each session to see if I get output prior to a freeze? There is nothing I can point to that would give me an indication that ...

Re: Slapt-src Errors out when install cairo-dock-plugins

Are you sure it installed ok? Do the plugin features work?
Yes, plug-in package installed and everything is working. If you don't install the plug-in package the application will bark at you stating it can't work properly without the plug-ins and then shut down.
