Verve Version: 1.0.0-1 Autocompletion works for commands previously executed, but not for any new commands (that ARE in my path, since they work in a normal terminal). Using Arch Linux, with openbox.
Please let me know if I should supply additional information.
Running F16 xfce4-verve-plugin-1.0.0-2.fc15.x86_64 has the same issue apparently. I will comment if otherwise.
I cant reproduce it here with current git master of verve plugin.. is it still a problem for you ? which version of glib/gtk do you use ? GCompletion has been deprecated since glib 2.26, but it should still work fine. Since you say that autocompletion works for commands in the history, i'd suspect only the fetching of commands from the env (called here : http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-verve-plugin/tree/panel-plugin/verve-plugin.c#n93) returns nothing, so one of the verve-env.c funcs might fail. - do you get some warnings in you x session log (.xsession-errors or wherever your os configured the X session to log its output) ? - can you try again with the plugin built from git with --enable-debug, and verify with gdb what happens when verve-env.c funcs are called ? (i'd do that, but i cant reproduce it here)
I had the same problem (also on arch linux). Building from git solved it. So I guess the problem is fixed with the next release. hint: To run autogen.sh successfully on arch you have to edit configure.ac.in first: sed -i 's:AM_CONFIG_HEADER:AC_CONFIG_HEADERS:' configure.ac.in
Mass-reassign all bugs from florian@ to goodies-dev@, thanks for the maintenance work! (and sorry for the bugmail spam..)
Since nobody's reported anything on this for about 2 years, I'll assume it's been fixed. If anyone else has this problem, just open another bug report.
