This is the german rigor in action. I like it.
Thanks for this important nuance.

no networkmanager applet(wifi issues?)

it could be used nm-applet from mate module (+required libraries)

Posted: **27 Oct 2014, 23:05**

Yes. I've since updated the github with the current release. Most probably at the time you pulled git it was using nm-applet compiled for gtk3.

good news is nm-applet is now working (using packages from xfce github)
bad news is in the process i broke gnsu : it wont accept correct password : permission denied ...
am using 'xfce-patches' for gnsu and sudoers
thought maybe sudo (dont know what this means):-

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ sudo spacefm
sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?

or something related to gnome-keyring(also changed with nm-applet) +removed gcr
or something else ive done

heres a current package list

no problem with pre-activated mate module:

Code: Select all

sudo spacefm

Please post the output of: ls -l `which sudo` && md5sum `which sudo`

@brokenman thanks, see below

@tome, thanks for the info

okay, my problem lay in the 'something else i've done' part, i think
i got a little too clever with one of the build scripts and messed up permissions..breaking sudo and udevil..

so..nm-applet is now working.
gnome-keyring version doesn't seem to matter.
updated module coming soon....

RC 2 (sa15c) uploaded nm-applet now included
