Xfce can't use thunar

Hello all

If I type in console "thunar" then file manager will appear and it is usable. But if I double-click folder then I got error message:

[c]"The folder could not be opened.
The name org.xfce.FileManager was not provided by any .service files"[/c]

What I need to do to solve problem?

I'd try to add "FileManager=thunar" and "FileManager=custom-FileManager" in "~.config/xfce4/helpers.rc" without effect.

[c]$ uname -a
Linux slitaz 2.6.37-slitaz
$ cat /etc/slitaz-release
4.0
$ xfwm4 --version
    This is xfwm4 version 4.8.1 (revision 5b41921) for Xfce 4.8.0
$ tazpkg info dbus
Tazpkg information
================================================================================
Package    : dbus
Version    : 1.4.16[/c]
Suggestion from XFCE forum:

Just had a look at slitaz version 4.0. It looks like its missing components of the Thunar install (namely the dbus service files). Manually adding them doesn't help, so its obviously something bigger. I think you should follow-up with the Slitaz people who packaged it up.

akwes,

Please, download new thunar package from here: http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=thunar

Really dbus files created. Problem was that someone forgot to add them to package.

Now I installed that package and it seems it works. Only one warning message when I started it in the terminal:

[c](thunar:3415): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: remote volume monitor with
dbus name org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is not supported[/c]
Then I can open any folder.

Is there possibility to fix thunar 1.3.0? Version 1.4.0 need new version of many libs and tazpkg don't donwload them by self.

Re: Xfce can't use thunar

akwes,

Please, download thunar-1.3.0 for SliTaz 4.0 here:

http://cook.slitaz.org/stable/cooker.cgi?download=thunar-1.3.0.tazpkg

Note, I not tested it. Possibly, you need to install dbus-glib package in addition.

Please, report any further errors and warnings here.

To developers

Sorry, I can't make changes to the stable wok (authentication error). So I had to make changes directly to the stable wok. Sorry again.
