Add Whisker menu plugin
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Please add the whisker menu plugin, as I'm doing testing on that. thanks.
That's already built in the container, just not part of the default upstream panel layout (which is used in the container) because we can't rely on its availability in distros.
I saw it listed as if it was in the container, but when I tried switching to the xubuntu 18.04 panel profile, it didn't show up, and its not listed in the add new items dialog. I tried to add it both in the 20.04 and 18.04 containers.
From what I can tell, this is because Whisker menu is looking for xfce4-panel in /usr/local/bin (default according to the cmake docs), whereas in the container, xfce4-panel's location is /usr/bin.
A workaround is to rebuild xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin using:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
sudo make install -jand then restart the panel via xfce4-panel -r, then the plugin should be visible in the "Add new items" window.
whisker menu still didn't show up in ubuntu_20.04
