Has Anyone Successfully Installed DockBarX?

Sup guys. I tried out DockBarx on my previous Ubuntu computer and really liked it. I installed openSUSE not too long ago and I just decided it’s about time to get it back! However, I’m having some trouble installing it.

My initial attempt was to simply download the tarball of dockbarx from GNOME-Look, untar it and run setup.py. Unfortunately, it will not run for me…not as root, standard user, anything. I do have Python-Base installed, and my “cnf python” does return a successful response. My PATH has /python’s location in it and everything.

I then tried the .rpm but I need to install python-keybinder, pyxdg and dbus, but I cannot find any downloads or repo’s with it. I could simply be missing it though.

So, basically, I’m asking all of you who have successfully installed it on your openSUSE system to inform me on how you did it! Thanks guys.

Btw, my system info is: openSUSE 11.3 // GNOME

Hi
Here you go, I’ve built it for you :wink: I also needed to build python-keybinder but seems to be working on this system.

It’s built, just may take sometime to filter through.

Your welcome, I also made it so the DockbarX Preferences get added into the Control Center -> Look and Feel section.

Hi
If you have problems, I missed the python-keybinder requires from the
rpm build (grr), so have fixed and if you download the latest version
it will pull it in…

Hi
Have updated it to 0.45, it has built on OBS, just needs to sync to
mirrors. OBS was restarted yesterday, so it may be a day or two before
it pops out.

Just keep checking for 0.45 to appear here;

Hi
Not sure, it seems to be stuck in ‘finished’ other have reported this issue with OBS… It published for factory, so have triggered a rebuild to see if that may help clear it.
