Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get install xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin-mod
Probably it gives a warning something like "dependency problems", "but yes, as requested"... blah blah but in the end it should install without problems.
EDIT: just for info, looking better at your apt-get terminal pic, it's not that all applications would be removed, only the "transitional" or "meta" package "xfce4-goodies" (which provides all the applications), so it's not that bad (the list of applications you see are set as "autoremove", so only if you're doing "apt-get autoremove" will uninstall them).
Again, shouldn't be how it was removing xfce4-goodies package and hopefully fixed now.

Hi Fred,
Deciding to be safe, I copied over my "frugal" DDog-XFCE64-build into a new 'frugal' folder, and set it up in grub4dos. Boy oh boy, am I happy I did.
I did just like you wrote. I ran 'apt-get update', the ran 'apt-get install whiskermenu-plugin-mod', selected "Yes", and watched as it installed. Fred, my whole XFCE whisker menu instantly became unstable, and then, in a few minutes of clicking, unusable. I couldn't even get the original XFCE Applications menu item to load. Whisker just vanished and/or self-destructed. Then, every thing (the OS overall) just crashed.
Thanking my lucky stars that I for once had enough brains to test something first, haha, I just deleted the frugal install and, if you don't mind, I'll now pass on this whisker-mod. Lord, that whisker-mod was like a
nuclear bomb going off inside my XFCE....
It's probably just my fault and my systems, I mean maybe it's something I did when I was building this XFCE64 and then modifying/setting things up. But it has operated so stable and so well over the past month of frequent use, that I honestly cannot think of what I might have done.
Anyway, I'll let backi test and run it. He'll try anything! He even got me to load that buggy SpaceFM contraption of filemanager
