Here is a work around for the icon problems in newer woof-CE pups, it should only run if the autostart dir is populated.
Goes in ~/Startup/
#Comment the lines marked #DEBUG
You can do away with that hack in 1-lxde-startup.sh (line 6), or at least make it conditional, something like a test for the desktop files, or even better, kill and rerun all files in /root/startup or as a last resort add some sleep at the top of the code I just posted, and call it zhack (or something with a z so it execs last).

Gosh!! Thanks Mick.....01micko wrote:Peter

Grateful if you could say in simple terms what your patch does?
And do you know why it is needed? Is it a bug in lxpanelx?
Will the patch be needed as a permanent feature of any systems using lxpanel/lxpanelx?
I had started to work out last night where the problem lay and had discovered that if I moved all the tray items from .config/autostart to /etc/autostart and removed the line #6 then the icons worked unless a panel restart was done. But that was as far as i had got.
Thanks
Peter
BTW - for other interested readers, this only applies to the new testing versions of Slacko5.7 which contain new svg icons.

Hi Peter,
It's a bug in lxpanelx. A timing issue. As SFR stated lxpanel is unaffected.
I would report it to the developer if I were you. He may be able to add a few milliseconds delay or track down the issue that causes it.
Oh, and if he tells you try starting from /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart (aka $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/LXDE/autostart) file the same issue occurs. (that file can be in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/LXDE/ too)
What my work around does (and that's all it is) is kill each process when it is actually started (because it doesn't get the background colour) then restart them. It's pretty simple actually, just finds each process ID when it starts, kills it, then once they are all killed it restarts them. The slow down is powerapplet_tray as on desktops it doesn't run, so the full 4 seconds (sleep 0.5 x 8 ) [ ha.. cant post digit 8 character ')' on the forum, get ] is taken up. Not a huge issue. I think that restart you are doing is rather the problem with the cpu maxing out issue.
In my tests it works flawlessly with line 6 commented (in 1-lxde-startup.sh)

Setup pet for woof-ce built Slacko 5.7
Here is the setup pet for the Slacko5.7 test builds (woof-ce builds).
Many thanks to 01micko for the system-tray fix for LxPanelX as I would have been very sad to have to stop using it.
I've changed the background to a lighter one as the new tray icons for battery and sound do not work on a dark background.
Cheers

fix for 13.11
Hi PeeBee,
Will you incorporate this fic also in 13.11 (or 13.12 / 14.01) ?
Or do you plan to work on a Slacko 5.7 release with LXDE ?

I will track the Slacko 5.7 pre-releases to check that the LxPup can be built - the pet above being the first change needed for the new woof-ce builds - and then will make a new LxPup iso - probably 14.01 I would imagine - when Slacko 5.7 is released.
see: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 759#746759
LxPup13.11 on Slacko5.6 does not require the changes.

Im using it with Quirky Tahir, it's very nice thanks
I had a slight problem where if you open up several programs the clock goes off the screen because the taskbar gets bigger, instead of making the program icons smaller.
Also it seems to do something to the command line because when I try to compile something it complains about the arguments

The lxpupsetup pet for Quirky-Tahr has been re-uploaded....
#slenkar - I don't see your panel tab problem with LxPup - have you changed any panel settings?
Checked Q-T - no problem there either.....

Quirky Tahr pets updated to LxPup14.03 state
Updated 19-mar-2014
Install LxPup onto Quirky Tahr using these pets:
1. lxpup_quirky_tahr-14.03.pet
2. lxpupsetup_qirky_tahr-14.03.pet
If you have the previous pets installed, use the Puppy Package Manager to uninstall first the setup pet and deactivate LxPup then the main pet before loading the new pets. If you have made any serious panel changes it might be wise to save the changed config files before doing the uninstall/reinstall (from /root/.config/lxpanelx/LXDE/panels)

Very nice, thank you!
P.S. the link to lxpup pets for QT in the first posting of your lxpup thread points to the wrong spot, it should probably point to http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/posting.php?p=755424

Yes I am using an IDE which compiles code by calling programs on the commandline, it works on vanilla Quirky Tahir but not after installing lxpup.peebee wrote:Don't believe so....if you can give more details of what you are trying to do and what problems you are experiencing I might be able to duplicate and investigate....slenkar wrote:does this lxpup-by-sfs do a chroot or some other linux command to change some system variable?

Basically the IDE is calling a compiled executable on the command line
The executable is called Trans (it translates code, but that isnt important)
When lxpup is installed I get a weird error message from trans that indicates it received the wrong arguments, so somehow the call to trans is being altered.
I can get the exact error message if you want? (dont think it will help)
