Title: [solved] manokwari desktop failed installation
Post by: nubipengen on December 22, 2017, 06:40:26 PM
hello everybody,

i am using sparky 5.2 xfce 32-bit.

using aptus desktop installer, on top of it, i had successfully installed these desktop environments :
- pantheon
- enlightenment

but not manokwari desktop environment; it failed.

using aptus desktop installer, there was no error message :

using synaptic, installing "manokwari" package resulted in :

installing "sparky-desktop-manokwari" package resulted in :

i did logged out and even rebooted the computer after trying the installation, but it still did not solve the issue.
i am wondering, what did i miss here and how to solve this issue ?  :o
thanks again.

Dependency hell.
Debian devs removed one of the package's deps from testing repos, so I put it to Sparky repos now.
Refresh package list and try again.

i am wondering, what is the icon at the bottom center of the screen for ?
when mouse pointer is hovering on it, it just displays "(null)". left-click, right-click, middle-click on it do not do anything.

thanks again.

The empty icon is a part of the bottom panel.
Choose an appliaction from the menu to be added to the panel so the empty icon will be changed to your app.
