You seem to have missed this link:

Very useful to avoid such problems.

Please don't forget to enable Elantech PS/2 protocol extension. Also UVC cameras and Intel 82801 (ICH I2C sensor) support seem not to be enabled too.
All these devices are listed at the above link too.

Just a couple of things:

Terminal-0.4.6 still has an issue, not writing out all its buffers, you have to hit enter again to get the last few lines. This is true whether you install the package or compile from source. Drop back to 0.4.5 and all is well.

Epdfview (in /extra) does not work with the new poppler, doesn't matter if it's the package or compiled. I've started using evince instead.

The issue I had been having with jpg files not displaying turned out to be the result of my heavily-hacked rc.postinstall. Sorry for the noise.

Happy camper here.

Hey Guys,

I did observe the following stuffs on XFCE 4.6.1 on Zenwalk 6.4 over my production laptop Dell Vostro 3500. Could any body kindly re-check these stuffs if reproducible on XFCE 4.8 on RC2 ISO?

1. Upon suspending the laptop and back on, the Power manager wont be running at all. Have to manually start over.
2. If Power manager has been configured to put off the display after X seconds/minutes, it does so for some number of times, but later fails to do so. Have to quite the power manager from system tray and start again.
3. If XFLOCK4 command is run (or via menu button) to lock the screen, and when screen is unlocked. The power manager no more works as its indented too. Means, it doesnt put off the display as per its configured.

Off the topic:
How to make XFLOCK4 command not only locks the screen, but put off the display as well!

P.S: Sorry i cant install 4.8 or RC2 here to test these. It would be great if any of you can let me know if these are bugs still reside or not really a bug.

Hi,

I've very similar problems on my Acer Aspire. Currently suspending does not really work. If it does, power mgmt does not. All the XFCE plugins for CPU monitoring fail to load.

Working on snapshot.

Didn't work.
Also tried the "suspend" command, but nothing happens.

try pm-suspend

note:
zenwalk-openbox still uses hal and suspend is done with command

Code:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0

and it works
but the UPower method

Code:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" \
/org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

doesn't work here.

pm-suspend also works here.

That worked!

Inkscape won't work on 7.0. It requires libpoppler.so.7 but the poppler package from the snapshot repository provides only libpoppler.so.12.

stillborn should be right. I have hal and hal-info in my system and I never note this problem and for the moment I do not find any problem related this two libs.
I mean that Power manager works O.K.
