XFCE Issues
Posted: Sat Apr 04, 2009 4:40 pm
Evening folks, I have been using Mint 5 XFCE for ages now and have a few issues that need resolving...
Every now and then when I turn on my PC the windows (for want of a better word) lose their top bar and I'm unable to move them around the desktop, minimize, maximize or close (unless I click on file, quit) and the only way I have to resolve this is to shut down & restart.
My start Icon has reverted back to the XFCE standard start icon, I would like to get my mint logo back.
K3B burning software seems to crash at a high rate unless I have all my other programs shut and am running only K3B even then it seems to crash less if I am burning a CD-ROM, rather than DVD.
My DVD-ROM won't play DVD movies, MPlayer crashes with an error message, VLC doesn't even open the disc & KMPlayer doesn't even recognise there is a disc. Not sure if I have to install any specific files or codecs but I'm not sure what to look for in the package manager.
I am aware that some (if not all) are non-XFCE related, but I though if I share it with the forum, I can see if other people have similar issues... Other than these very few minor niggly issues, I have been using XFCE as my sole OS for 8+ months now and am very happy with it's speed and reliability. Thumbs up & recommended
