Xfce system - missing parts?

Post by marmalade » 2014/04/18 13:03:13

I've been trying a new install of CentOS 6.5 using the minimal CD, then running "groupinstall xfce" after installing the epel repo, following instructions in various posts and wiki entries on here. All went well including networking through wifi, but there does not seem to be a way of getting a battery monitor into the xfce panel. There is no such component listed under 'panel ->add components', nor is there a 'xfce4-battery-plugin' rpm package listed in the available repos for CentOS6. I've tried downloading and installing such packages from sites on the Internet, but that runs into dependency issues and fails. Searches on these forums and wider on the Internet don't reveal any obvious solutions - which probably means I'm missing something simple. Any suggestions please?
