Hi my version of plugin is 1.4.7-1. My linux is manjaro. I have problem with set interface name. I dont see option to set interface name. It is image of my settings: https://i.imgur.com/kcH2A8O.png I will be very grateful for help.
Take a look at the documentation for how the network monitor works: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-hardware-monitor-plugin#network_tab , particularly the Advanced section if you have a custom name you need to use.
Thanks for response. Yea I know that I should use Advanced option to set my wireless interface to wlp3s0. Problem is that is something wrong with advanced option for me. I don`t see table in advanced option. https://i.imgur.com/kcH2A8O.png
Ah, got you - first possibility is its a theme problem (for reference this is a GTK2 plugin), usually if theres a failure the whole plugin dies horribly. Do you see anything interesting in stdout/stderr (which'll go to the panel, and then probably in '~/.xsession-errors')?
I pasted message from ~/.xsession-errors to pastebin: http://wklejto.pl/261720
For the benefit of the ticket, the interesting bit is: ================================================================================ Unable to obtain read-only config file path in order to configure interface names in NetworkLoadMonitor::configure_interface_names! ================================================================================ Basically the xfce_panel_plugin_lookup_rc_file call failed, which is pretty serious - are you able to configure and save anything with this plugin? You shouldn't be able to, since it can't even get a path for the config file...
I didn`t shutdown computer after add this plugin so far. When I did it now plugin config is lost.
Makes sense. This doesn't feel like something I can help with (sounds like an XFCE4 screwup somehow), I would need more people reporting this problem at least. Regardless, can you give me the output of 'ls ~/.config/xfce4/panel' please. For reference v1.5 is the latest, although I doubt it would change things for you.
$ ls ~/.config/xfce4/panel launcher-10 launcher-11 launcher-12 launcher-9 Now I associate this situation with my problems with another problem some time ago when my panel can`t save nothing - panel sizes and position too. Then I remove completely xfce and install again. Probably something go wrong.
Odd that just launchers are there, my example: ============================================================================= cpugraph-2.rc multiload-5.rc xfce4-orageclock-plugin-20.rc genmon-25.rc xfce4-clipman-actions.xml xfce4-sensors-plugin-4.rc genmon-6.rc xfce4-hardware-monitor-plugin-17.rc xfce4-timer-12.rc genmon-9.rc xfce4-hardware-monitor-plugin-3.rc~ xfce4-timer-16.rc launcher-23 xfce4-orageclock-plugin-15.rc XfceTimer.rc ============================================================================= You can see the (one) valid rc file for the plugin ('*~' is left over from nano editing). Its read/write for the user I'm guessing...
Ohhhh... Problem solved. :) Owner of ~/.config/xfce4/panel was root. :D Thank you very much
Some weird 'user configuration directory' setup you have there... resolving.
