Just in case no one has noticed yet

Mandriva 2010 Spring ships librox-c6 and librox-c-devel and rox-utils is no more.

I installed the new version of DevTray yesterday and, lo and behold, it has a master volume slider

Show/Hide Items

Any chance of this in a future release?

What's Wrong With Volume?

Works well enough for me.

Though you could put a drop down master volume slider in devtray.

Volume maintenance

Tony Houghton — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:23:20 +0000

I patched the same problem in DevTray recently, but I'm working on replacing DevTray which means I'm interested in Volume again. If there are maintenance issues with Volume it might be a good idea to do a "lite" version which just has the simple volume control and loads alsamixer-gui and/or pavucontrol for the more complicated stuff.

Re: can't launch

For some reason Zero Install couldn't find ROX-CLib. My advice is to use a local installation, I'm not supporting Zero Install anymore as I don't use it.

can't launch

jpotts — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 20:25:26 +0000

Launching it, i get the following 2 error messages:

/home/me/.cache/0install.net/implementations/sha1=fd77013f3d2ef6617a0117403a88de25bd412ef8/Diff/AppRun: line 23: /AppRun: No such file or directory

/home/me/.cache/0install.net/implementations/sha1=fd77013f3d2ef6617a0117403a88de25bd412ef8/Diff/Linux-ix86/Diff: error while loading shared libraries: librox-clib.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

…and nothing happens.

Yet, i have /usr/lib/ROX-CLib/Linux-ix86/lib/librox-clib.so.6 -> librox-clib.so.6.3.0 (which is present)

"bringing up a menu over its icon"

jpotts — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 22:55:16 +0000

...is accomplished by clicking with mouse button 2.
In the case of a panel object, it goes as you wrote here. In the case of within a filer window, the relevant Help menu entry can be found in the "App dir '<whatever>'" sub-menu, since the Help entry in the first pop-up menu opens a sub-menu of help items relevant to the filer itself. A bit confusing, isn't it ?

Openbox

jpotts — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:16:18 +0000

I got ROX-Session to launch Openbox by typing "openbox-session" at the prompt for a window manager to select, where openbox was missing from the pull-down list. That worked, and now "openbox-session" is and remains in that list.
I wonder why ROX would not find Openbox by itself, since i have an "openbox" bash file in my /etc/X11/Sessions (which launches /usr/bin/openbox-session)

I Don't Know if Denis Will Read This

I don't know if Denis Tomas is likely to read this, but I'm really missing this applet :(

Weather Stopped Working

Mark Williams — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:44:54 +0000

It seems to have happened after a recent update to Ubuntu.

Is there anything in Ubuntu that might affect it?

I tried running the updated

Mark Williams — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 18:37:18 +0000

I tried running the updated version and got this error
