Odroid experiment

#102 Post by spotted »

Don Just as an experiment your Arm Pi works on odroid with odroid kernel package.
However, with JB's odroid the system tray is a fatdogs breakfast, only the save file size works, they are all squashed up together, some overlapping, nothing else works.
What I want to ask is, is the system tray in Arm Pi working normally.
I have been able to get online taking usb tether from fatdog and my phone as a USB modem.
I want to have the CPU meter working before I go online, I watch the CPU meter to see if traffic is coming and going while on the net. I use it like net speed monitor in bongo drums to show the net is working.
I was able to move up to lxpanel 5. but although everything was in the right place once again only the savefile size works. Lxpanel 9. didnt work at all. In Fatdog I cant find lxpanel only lxqt, not even going to try to steal it if it has qt in it.

Thanks for testing!!

Will somebody test the version for raspberry pi3.
I can't do this, since it would cost $100 Canadian (lack of competition).

None of the apps I added affect the tray , for instance I added SAMBA and x11vnc , but they wouldn't affect the tray.
Visually I see a difference between the tray in fatdog64 and fatdogarm.

Typing 'top' in terminal might be useful.

In fatdogarm repository I see matchbox-systray

It apparently adds some apps to tray????

I cannot go online with Seamonkey 2.33., wont load webpage, error message says something like the time is in the future (This is after I set date in control panel)
So I had a bash at compiling seamonkey 2.49.2

checking for rpmbuild not found
checking for autoconf
error could not find autoconf 2.13

There is autoconf 2.69 installed so I made a link autoconf 2.13 to it but it did not work. End of experiment. didnt knowing what I was doing anyway!!

Can Mike compile the latest Seamonkey for ARM. OR can some one tell me how get around monkeys warning messages. How dangerous would an out of date monkey be with being restricted to spot where anything evil cant get out of spot. First start up of monkey gets online but with having to muck around with certificates for each new webpage. After setting the date in control panel, cant go online, date is in the future message.
I tried taking firefox out of ubuntu arm but libraries are the wrong type, some sort of XPCM, from my memory, libraries needed. Even then have to go back to firefox 52 as the later ones crash on anything ARM, and mozilla not interested in fixing it. And they have that stupid systemd because they dont have their browser in spot making things worse for Fatdog. Getting a firefox 52 arm .deb, unpacking it, and placing it in its correct directories in the save file also dont work. Starting fox from the command line dont work, 'command not found' end of experiment.
