It's rather depressing that this bug, which was a showstopper for us, gets so little attention from Ubuntu.
We worked around the problem by recompiling on Ubuntu 24.04 from the Debian source code, as follows: -- make sure these packages are installed: keybinder-3.0-dev libfm-gtk3-dev libwnck-3-dev intltool libmenu-cache-dev There may be others as well; those are just the ones that were missing from our setup. -- Clone the Debian repo: git clone https://salsa.debian.org/lxde-team/lxpanel cd lxpanel -- Build: sh ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-gtk3 --with-plugins=-netstat --prefix=/ make We don't care about the netstat plugin and I couldn't be bothered to track down the packages it needs. The default prefix is /usr/local; changing it to / simplifies things later. -- We have more than 120 systems using LXDE, so of course we have configuration management, so we then do make DESTDIR=`pwd`/../tmpinstall install to install to ../tmpinstall/bin lib and so on. Then we store tmpinstall/bin/lxpanel where our configuration management will store it in /usr/bin on all systems, and tmpinstall/lib/lxpanel/liblxpanel.so* to where it will be spread to /usr/lib on all systems. (/usr/lib seems to be good enough; no need for the lxpanel subdirectory.) We install only the lxpanel binary and liblxpanel.so* shared libraries from the newly-compiled copy, leaving the default Ubuntu copies of everything else (lxpanelctl, config files, etc). We already customize the config files anyway. Fingers crossed that Ubuntu deign to pick up a newer lxpanel before they marshall 26.04! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2089506 Title: Lxpanel configuration broken in Ubuntu 24.04 and 24.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/2089506/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
