linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – So this is probably dumb because it's just relating to cursor themes, but it's really stumping me. A little background first though I guess. I have a Toshiba netbook that I setup with some RAM and a nice 128GB SSD. It was running snappy with just Lubuntu, but I wanted it to run a little more smoothly so I installed xfce from command. Logging into the xfce session, it runs like a champ and I really couldn't be happier. I'm not trying to have a lot of eye candy like my kde desktop, but I've grown partial to the 'comix' theme of mouse cursors. Upon a quick look, from within the xfce session there (Hardware)

Stories similar to [lubuntu] XFCE Cursor Issues

So, I installed the xubuntu-desktop package on my Lubuntu netbook, but when I went to login to a xubuntu session nothing happened. The screen simply went momentarily blank and then came up with the original login screen again.

I tried with xfce session and got the same result.

I know this is probably a bit of a newbie question but i'm having a little trouble installing any cursor themes. I extract the archives contents to /usr/share/themes but when i go to Menu>Settings>Mouse and touchpad>themes all i see is default.

Using Archlinux, XFCE

All ideas and tips are appreciated

I would like to be able to unhide the XFCE panel by pressing a key instead of placing the mouse cursor at the edge of the screen.

I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 but updated to XFCE 4.10

Hello!Currently and since May 2012, Xfce 4.10 on Debian is only available on the Experimental repository and only its Core packages. They run fine but you'll lose most of the Xfce Apps and Plugins functionality.Also, it's unlikely that 4.10 will come to Testing/Unstable any time soon, as Debian will be freezing soon and the decision to not include 4.10 is expected.

I had to reinstall xfce

I used yum reinstall xfce*

but this time xfce did not appear automatically in the gdm login

I looked for information and found that I could bypass gnome completely and load xfce through X by editing /etc/ttys and also creating a desktop in /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop

I created the xsessions/xfce.desktop but my /etc/ttys is completely empty since it i

Ok, I installed Xubuntu 11.10 on my Toshiba Satalite C50 dual booted with windows 7. After that I eventually installed the KDE desktop and the Lubuntu Desktop after KDE. When I rebooted the boot screen said lubuntu instead of Xubuntu and the login screen is now the lubuntu login screen instead of the xubuntu one.

Here is my problem, I can't seen to get past the Lubuntu login screen.

On a FC 16 X86_64 system updated yesterday, I find this bug with the XFCE logout (via the icon with the green man) is still present. http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6580

The bug mentioned in the thread is that left clicking on the icon either doesn't do anything or it freezes the desktop.

I use xfce, really is possible make xfce look like win if you customize and append the respectibbes aplpets and menus in one panel in the bottom (removing the other panel)adding a good theme and corrects app (and if you want desktop shortcuts) can make xfce4 look like winsame for OSX but is a little more of work, you need a dock, customize the panel and a good theme like (mac-osx-{icon,theme,curso

XFCE and new BPO ISO 1 year 14 weeks ago

Please forgive me if this question has already been asked.  I've just installed the newest BPO image on a fresh partition and have installed XFCE in place of Openbox (nothing personal - I just prefer it).  Now I'm trying to customize it (i.e. make it look like #!
