Bug#760565: Cannot access Desktop Pager Settings from panel
I am pretty sure if the setting is enabled then it should either launch some application (such as Obconf), or show an error message. If there is no application to configure number of desktops then the menu item with 'Desktop Pager Settings' should be inactive (grey or whatever). Check it, please, again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Bug#760565: Cannot access Desktop Pager Settings from panel
Hi Andrej, Thanks for your reply. In answer to your questions, the menu item has the active (compared with ``Delete This Panel'' which has the inactive greyed out look''). I get no error message (neither from the GUI, or from lxterminal after I run: $ killall lxpanel $ lxpanel Since filing this bug, I have found this one on obconf: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740088 I believe at the very least this blocks this bug, or at best will resolve this bug entirely. I do however feel confused why I don't get at least a segmentation fault error from lxpanel, rather then failing silently. At best I would expect a message saying ``Obconf failed to start, giving the error: Segmentation Fault''. Best, Jack On Sat, 20/9/14, Andrej N.

control: reassign -1 obconf control: affects -1 lxpanel Since filing this bug, I have found this one on obconf: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740088 I believe at the very least this blocks this bug, or at best will resolve this bug entirely. I do however feel confused why I don't get at least a segmentation fault error from lxpanel, rather then failing silently. At best I would expect a message saying ``Obconf failed to start, giving the error: Segmentation Fault''. Oh, thank you very much. That explains everything. Unfortunately, things with GUI applications are not so much obvious. When GUI applications are launched their state or standard outputs are never inspected until the application that did the launch did it in special manner, which lxpanel never does, obviously. In Ubuntu there is a special program (apport) that can catch crashes in most of cases, but it isn't available in Debian so there is no window with message about that unfortunately. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
