There's emelfm, midnight commander (mc), nautilus, rox-filer, spacefm and possibly others.

I really don't know, especially since I am not getting any feedback from Thunar ie: error messages.

But it seems to me that it's the .dep file that should know about what's needed for Thunar to work as intended.
And in consequence, drag in what's needed into onboot.lst.

I could try loading xfconf but what bits and pieces may also be needed, it's rather a lottery or loading every xfce file available and see what happens.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers,

MM

Looking for runtime deps is something of a lottery - you could also try looking at the thunar source code..

Hi madmax
xfconf  is included in the dependency tree. I see there's a settings file that relies on  dbus:

--- Code: ---tc@E310:~$ cat x/squashfs-root/usr/local/bin/thunar-settings
#!/bin/sh
#
# vi:set et ai sw=2 sts=2 ts=2: */

test "x$DISPLAY" != "x" || DISPLAY=:0

output=`dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.xfce.FileManager \
  /org/xfce/FileManager org.xfce.FileManager.DisplayPreferencesDialog \
  "string:$DISPLAY" "string:$DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID"`

if ! [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  echo $output
  exit 1
fi
tc@E310:~$
--- End code ---

Check if  dbus  is running. Does this produce any response:

--- Code: ---ps aux | grep -i dbus | grep -v grep
--- End code ---

A string search of the  Thunar  executable shows no sign of it running the  thunar-settings  script:

--- Code: ---tc@E310:~$ busybox strings -n 10 x/squashfs-root/usr/local/bin/thunar | grep -iE 'conf|used|sett'
gtk_icon_size_lookup_for_settings

Maybe that script needs to be run before starting  Thunar?

If I was knowledgeable enough to be do that ie: actually be able to make something out of what the source code says, I would have compiled a the new version.

But I'm not (don't have a clue) I'm not a coder/programmer, just a TC user.
The most I am able to do is try to get it working and report here whatever I find when it does not.
eg: like with the issue regarding libffi5.

Thanks for your input.
