Other Wifi signal icon at Lumina desktop

Kalero · Dec 2, 2015

Hi, I installed Lumina desktop 0.8.7 on FreeBSD 10.2 and if I look for Lumina screenshots at the web, I see they have the typical wifi signal icon at the system tray, but I can't find it in the plugins list for the panel (Lumina is a plugin based desktop). I've searched at FreeBSD packages and I've found net/wmwifi, that is a dockapp to show the wifi signal, but I can't get it embedded at the panel. Does anybody know how to get that wifi signal icon? Many thanks.

There's pc-nettray in sysutils/pcbsd-utils-qt5. AFAICT it should be started by Lumina automatically once installed.

net/wmwifi is really only for WindowMaker.

Thanks. I've just installed the sysutils/pcbsd-utils package (I did't find the sysutils/pcbsd-utils-qt5 package) but I don't see the icon after starting Lumina :/

That's not good. You need it because that's the package that actually contains pc-nettray. pkg install pcbsd-utils-qt5 does not work?

No, it doesn't work. And if I look at http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/latest/All/ there's any package called "pcbsd-utils-qt5". It's strange because in freshports the package is called "pcbsd-utils-qt5"

Hmm, the port contains ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= amd64. Seems like it's not build for FreeBSD/i386. I wonder why that is?

The PC-BSD project only supports the AMD64 architecture so it would make sense some of their tools are only available for that architecture.

Kalero · Dec 2, 2015

So there's no way to have a wifi signal icon at the system tray on x86_32 architecture?

protocelt · Dec 2, 2015

I guess not. Having said that, now that I think about it, the sysutils/pcbsd-utils port should be marked for AMD64 architecture only as well in this case.

Kalero · Dec 2, 2015

I have the sysutils/pcbsd-utils-qt5 port in my ports tree. Could it be compiled in my architecture (x86_32)?

protocelt · Dec 2, 2015

The port is marked to only build on AMD64 so it won't build on your machine if you attempt to compile/build it.

Kalero · Dec 2, 2015

I didn't know the portsnap fetch extract downloads ports for any architecture, I thought it only downloads ports for your specific architecture. And a last stupid question: where do you see the ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= amd64 (apart of in the Makefile)?

~~The sysutils/pcbsd-utils port should be marked for amd64 only as well as it's dependencies.~~

Yes, but that's the Makefile. Is there no way to see the Makefile options in, for example, freshports.org?

I filed PR 204979 against this. The sysutils/pcbsd-utils port should be marked for amd64 only as well as it's dependencies.

So why could I install the sysutils/pcbsd-utils package? I did it before!

I think sysutils/pcbsd-utils does not depend on sysutils/pcbsd-utils-qt5.

protocelt · Dec 2, 2015

The port was likely updated since then. I had this backwards, sysutils/pcbsd-utils is a runtime dependency of sysutils/pcbsd-utils-qt5.
