HOWTO: Upgrade Xubuntu to Xfce 4.4rc1

[slapys]

I am having the exact same experience. No USB device will automount, and I can't do it using the command line either.

[Cartwheels4amile]

For being a release candidate, this thing is really borked.

I've heard things about people going back to Beta 1... how do I go about this?

i've upgraded to RC1 without any problem but the main prblems are the refreshmet when creating a folder or downloading a file into a folder. It doesn't apeer until i press F5 and the USB devices are not mounting.

I got this error when running the installer (from the log file):

## Running installer-gui (without debugging)
./installer-gui
./installer-gui: symbol lookup error: ./installer-gui: undefined symbol: g_type_register_static_simple

Thoughts? What am I missing?

Thx

I install the last version of Xfce, but I can't change thunar, for the newsest version. I install it for instruction in this HOWTO'S:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ght=thunar+svn
But when I copy the last command i see :

root@mateusz:/home/mateusz# cd xfce4-svn-source/thunar/
root@mateusz:/home/mateusz/xfce4-svn-source/thunar# sh autogen.sh Preparing package directory /home/mateusz/xfce4-svn-source/thunar...

Please add the files
  codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
  progtest.m4
from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

What i must do ?? I haven't go any idea.

What i must do ?? I haven't go any idea.

I'm not sure about the stuff where it prompts to copy files but I think I got that tar-ustar error too and solved it by installing automake-1.9 or something like that The latest version anyways.

I've got solutions to two of the problems mentioned in this thread (and I don't think they've been given as of yet). Of course they probably won't work for everybody, but they work like a charm for me.

1) Trash error:
See post at http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topi...11706#msg11706 (currently last post).
Related to D-BUS

2) USB mounting:
Apt-get gnome-volume-manager and set to start up with XFCE autostarted applications. This will automount your usb devices.

Cheers.

Simple question: can I use the basic instructions in this thread to install 4.4RC2? In addition to more polish I'm hoping it will allow me to hibernate my laptop, which seems to be missing in RC1.

I answered my own question--yes, it works. Got the Suspend option back by changing my login screen to the Ubuntu default. Learn something new every day. . .

What do you mean by "changing the login screen to the Ubuntu default" ? I have the same problem but I haven't yet figured out how to resolve it ...

Thanks
