I am having trouble with suspend, reboot etc, 'systemctl suspend' does not work.
Flemur, how do you do this in Fluxbox?

Flemur,
I have, so far, been successful in launching things which require root privileges in Pekwm by adding the following to the start file and using -pkexec

Thanks for the link to Arch Wiki, Flemur. Making .pekwm/start executable has everything working, except of course for everything that needs root authority. I expect this was what Kadaitcha Man's warning was about.
However if anybody can help with the Polkit use I would appeciate it.

I need some help setting up pekwm, similar to openbox or fluxbox. My previous setup was really old, GKSU etc. Do I need something in ~/.profile or bashrc?Here is my start file # PekWM start file #!/bin/sh thunar --daemon & systray & tint2 & conky & #parcellite & #volumeicon &...

I have a 200mb efi partition formated to fat32 and the mount point /boot/efi.
My instructions say I should have the Grub designation as .
I am stuck here. Should I install GRUB to the EFI partition?

I have been using linux for a while with an ancient Mepis in my MBR. I have been accustomed to load a new system's grub to / and then copying the initrid and kernel info to the Mepis menu 1st. This has worked for a long time but my latest effort with Mint gives an error 15 and I don't know what is w...

Hi,

Where is the shutdown/restart/suspend script located and what is it called? I have been searching in /usr/bin with no luck.
Thanks

What do I need to set up DigiPro 5.5"x4" on this distro?

It has now appeared, no idea why.

LMDE 64 bit
I have installed Fluxbox and all is well except volumeicon doesn't load. The sound works OK. If I try to summon alsamixer with either sudo or su I get a permission denied message. I had an older version of LMDE on a second drive (which conked) and had no trouble: same hardware. Any ideas?

Hi, I am newly installed: x86_64, mint 7, Gnome

I have been Googling but can't find an answer.

When I boot up I have no panels. If I log out and change the session to Gnome then they are back, but they are not autostarting.

I thought the start of my disk had a corrupt section so with a Gparted disk I made a small partition. However in trying to install on the new, reduced partition I still get an error 15 trying to boot. (After trying previously.)

I think, jernau, that your mint leaf is a perfect logo for this distro.

I have copied the wallpapers and logo.

Thanks,

Could you give me one of the other ways?

I have been through gconf-editor with a fine tooth comb and can't find anything relevant.

How do I make a device icon appear on the desktop when I play a DVD or plug in a peripheral?

I want to be able to 'Safely Remove' or 'Eject'.

It used to appear but not any more...no idea what I did!
