Description Florian Berger 2013-07-28 10:02:44 UTC 
The xfce-extra/xfce4-netload-plugin cannot handle predictable interface names as introduced by udev > v197.

This is an upstream problem currently unhandled by the developers. However, the XFCE4 bugtracker has a patch at

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9807

that works around this problem.

Could this patch be included into the Gentoo ebuild of xfce4-netload-plugin?

As the bug has not been adressed upstream for half a year now, it would be convenient to have the plugin working after a simple emerge.

Thanks for considering!


Reproducible: Always
