Dietpi: Xfce | Update Request

Created on 1 Jul 2016  路  4Comments  路  Source: MichaIng/DietPi

Hi again. i just installed v121 and xfce. But it is little ugly and old. i tried some themes on apparence but nothings changed(i think it's a bug) and i figured out it was the version 4.10 that relased 4 years ago. Can we update it to 4.12? and how can we change theme? Thanks, nice distro :)

Why dont you tell anything :(

Because I have a real life outside of DietPi that needs maintenance. lol ;)

Ok, so, 4.12 is not available in the Jessie (stable) repo.

Few options:

  • Upgrade your installation from Jessie (stable) to Stretch (testing). Untested and I cant guarantee DietPi will still function, let alone the device.
  • Compile 4.12 from source.
  • Find another Repo that offers 4.12 arm binaries. Possibly Ubuntu, but expect dependency issues that would need to be resolved.

sorry, but what is the meaning of "_diet_" in "_DietPi_"?

For me, it's not to have the possibility for 4 desktop environment like:

No harm meant, just my 2 cent.

Sorry @yunussandikci , but i'am going to mark this as closed. I just don't have the time to compile, test, and then support XFCE 4.12 at the moment. I know 4.10 is "old", but it is classed as "stable".

If anyone comes across a 4.12 repo with ARM binaries, or is willing to compile this for ARM devices, i'am all ears and please reopen the ticket.
