Re-running installer fails on Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2

[kevgrig]

I just upgraded to Fedora 39 and the theme seemed off so I git pulled the latest master branch and re-ran installer.py but it hung on Installing component: Panel and showed an error in the terminal:

[...]
Generating XFCE panel
Installing Panel config from: /work/Chicago95/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/work/Chicago95/./installer.py", line 397, in install

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['xfce4-panel-profiles', 'load', '/work/Chicago95/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

I'm running everything vanilla for Chicago95 and no extras.

Can you post the output of running the command?
xfce4-panel-profiles load /work/Chicago95/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2

I am on linux mint and am having the exact same problem. This is the output I received which is very similar to yours:

Installing Panel config from: /tmp/ChicagoStuff22090/Chicago95/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/ChicagoStuff22090/Chicago95/./installer.py", line 397, in install subprocess.check_call(["xfce4-panel-profiles", "load", running_folder+"/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2"], stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 369, in check_call raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['xfce4-panel-profiles', 'load', '/tmp/ChicagoStuff22090/Chicago95/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

I also try running this command in the folder containing chicago95.
I get told the file does not exist:
xfce4-panel-profiles load /work/Chicago95/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2

@LuisPeregrina My apologies. I somehow missed the notification for your question and just saw it because of the other commenter.

I ran that command and there was no output. My panel shifted to my other monitor and so I had to edit its settings and switch the output to my primary monitor again. Otherwise, there were no other changes. Should I re-run the installer?

$ ls -l /work/Chicago95/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2

@LuisPeregrina Realizing now why you had me run that command, I ran it again and printed the return code and it's fine. Let me try the installer again...

$ xfce4-panel-profiles load /work/Chicago95/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2
$ echo $?
0

@LuisPeregrina I did a git pull, re-ran installer.py and this time it worked!

Installing Panel config from: /work/Chicago95/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2
Install Completed! Enjoy Chicago95!

No clue what's different.

@Alexderoode011202 In your case, you should run:

xfce4-panel-profiles load /tmp/ChicagoStuff22090/Chicago95/Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2

In addition to the output of that command, also run:

echo $?

I have found on the Debian 12 XFCE installed os, that the xfce4-panel-profiles tool is not installed by default and causes the panels not to be loaded.

The fix is to apt-get install xfce4-panel-profiles

Then re-run the installer or this command from the git repo directory

xfce4-panel-profiles load Extras/Chicago95_Panel_Preferences.tar.bz2
