Panel plugins not showing up

[Roman Collins]

Hey all, first time emailing here,

I've been trying to get a plugin to show up under "Add Items" and under the
items tab for panel preferences, for some reason plugins are just not
showing up and I cant' figure out why. Specifically I'm trying to get the
dockbarx-plugin to work:
https://github.com/TiZ-EX1/xfce4-dockbarx-plugin/issues/15

I've tried installing to /usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins,
/usr/lib64/xfce4/panel/plugins, and /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins

I also disabled SELinux to test if that could possibly be it with
setenforce 0, that was not the issue so I re-enabled it.

Any ideas how I could fix this?

Hello Roman,

A tad off topic: sometimes some SELinux alerts aren't shown so you should
give the troubleshooter a view from time to to time anyway.

Hey Martin, thanks for the reply.

I'll try anything to get my plugins working, even if it could be off topic.
Without any real knowledge about SELinux, the reason I suspected it could
be SELinux is that this plugin works on other distributions of Linux ...and
that I had to set an SELinux policy for Firefox to install Pipelight. I had
to allow plugins to work with Firefox like this:

sudo setsebool -P unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0

You mentioned a troubleshooter I installed a setools-gui, is that what you
were talking about? Is it possible that if I set SELinux to permissive with
setenforce 0, it would not necessarily rule out SELinux?

Either way, if it's not SELinux, I wouldn't know how to rule it out for
sure myself...

Hi!

The tool I was talking about is 'sealert' - a.k.a. SELinux Troubleshooter
installable through the setroubleshoot-server-3.2.24-1.fc22.x86_64 package.
Should you want to launch it from the console, launch it as '# sealert -b'
( the 'b' flag denotes 'browser' mode).

"Is it possible that if I set SELinux to permissive with setenforce 0, it
would not necessarily rule out SELinux?"
Well, it shouldn't :P
> From the man page, that should put SELinux in Permissive mode. You can also

try to completely disable SELinux by editing its configuration file,
/etc/sysconfig/selinux.

Regarding your original issue I'm afraid I'm all but useless here as I'm
using the official Fedora flavor...
