Is there any dedicated way to install 2.3 on Arch Linux? Aur has only 2.3 and I need Cardapio support.

Hello,

There are these two pkgbuilds: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30334 & http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30335
But they have to be updated to last revisions. (I think you just have to post a message there)
You can also modify these two pkgbuilds to always install the last revision. Simply replace these lines:
  if [ ! -./${_bzrmod} ]; then
    bzr 
--no-plugins branch ${_bzrtrunk} ${_bzrmod} -${pkgver}
  else
    
cd ${_bzrmod} && bzr --no-plugins pull ${_bzrtrunk} -${pkgver}
  
fi
by something like that:
  if [ ! -./${_bzrmod} ]; then
    bzr checkout 
--lightweight ${_bzrtrunk} ${_bzrmod}
  else
    
cd ${_bzrmod} && bzr update ${_bzrtrunk}
  
fi
It removes the option to download a specific revision and it only download the last revision and not a copy of the branch
PS: If you already use these pkgbuild, please remove previous cairo-dock-core and cairo-dock-plug-ins (where sources files are downloaded.

Thanks. Those 'pkgbuilds' to edit, where will I find them? Do you mean I should say Yes to question of editing it while AUR is installing those?

Also, how precise is this 'something like that'?

No, I meant just like that. Except that it's just better with an indentation

and when you're done, please make a feedback on the use of Cardapio inside Cairo-Dock
(or any other extra applet you use)

Great. I installed the newest version. Now the quesiton is - how do I add cardapio (or any other menu) applet to the dock?

Oh

Any other message in the terminal?
You can also launch the dock with this command:
cairo-dock -l debug

what if you enable it from the config panel ?
Edit: indeed, I've forgot to add the automatic activation of the new applets

I talked with Cardapio developer and this is what he said:
due to some recent changes in Cardapio, this applet broke. So I contacted the developer of the Cairo-Dock applet last week and we have come up with a fix. I don't know when the fixed version will be available publicly, though

Can you tell me When can we expect that?

I've read his answer, so there is just to know which version of Cardapio is running now.

I tried Gnomenu applet and it's the same story - nothing happens after clicking on it but Gnomenu does run if I start it with command line.

You can also launch the dock with this command:
cairo-dock -l debug
Because I think that in Arch (and only in Arch?) they use python3 by default. And all these applets need python2 and I don't know if Python3 is supported...
What's the output of this command
locate CDApplet.py |grep lib/python

locate: can not stat () `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory

I am using pythin2, though, cause all my screenlets start on it.

You are right:

$ python
Python 3.1.3 (r313:86834, Jan 28 2011, 20:00:55)

What can I do now?

I think /usr/bin/python is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3.
There are a few solutions... We/You/Someone can:
  • Porte our CDApplet.py and all applet to Python3 (or create something to be compatible with python 2 and 3)
  • Force CD to use python 2 if it's a python applet and if python2 binary is available.
  • ...
  • or you can change the symbolic link of /usr/bin/python
    cd /usr/bin
    sudo ln -sf python2 python
    but it's a workaround :)
