Linux Mint Forums

My 32-bit LMDE install also included Gdebi and it appears as an option in the context menu for .deb files.

Gladly, jeffreyC: First of all I did what viking777 suggested with /reboot and /halt . Then I added the following to the end of my menu.xml file: <item label="Logout"> <action name="Execute"> <execute>skill -KILL -u jvu</execute> </action> </item> <item label="Reboot"> ...

Hi mak1, To start off I politely suggest that you first search the forum for answers to your questions (using key words, e.g. autostart, desktop icons, etc.), since many questions (such as yours) have already been posted and solved. Now for your question, see the following post: http://forums.linuxm...

im out of cds (crap) i dont have a dvd reader, and my usb decided to break itself :/ Sorry to say this, but your problems sound more like things that only you can and must solve: 1. Buy some CDs :oops: 2. Get the usb repaired (or buy a new one) -- BTW a DVD reader is not required. After doing these...

Hi, gychang! Put the keybindings in the section that begins (and further down the file ends) with: <keyboard> ... ... </keyboard> For example, I start the Bluefish html editor using the 'Windows' key and the 'b' key. My entry looks like this: <keybind key="W-b"> <action name="Execute&...

If you want something in /etc/xdg/lxsession/Mint/autostartup *not* to start, the only thing I could think of is to delete its entry in that file. I forgot to put that in my last posting: to prevent a program in /etc/xdg/lxsession/Mint/autostart from starting all you need to do is to put # as the fi...

Well, I just looked in my directory ~/.config/lxsession and see that I have a directory named Mint there with a file named desktop.conf I then went to the directory /etc/xdg/lxsession/Mint and copied the file autostart into the directory ~/.config/lxsession I then added an entry like this: @geany sa...

Hi, altair4: Yes I think that what Aging Technogeek recommends will start the apps for each user. On my system I did a number of things after the installation ... and I don't remember exactly what was originally in the directory ~/.config :oops: I*m sorry if I caused any trouble. I'll let someone wi...

I like to use the program nitrogen. It does not have any KDE dependencies.

Hi, dln9: I'm not sure what you mean, but if you are wondering how to start an application automatically when starting the LXDE gui then you should make an entry in the file: ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh For example, I start nitrogen (for my desktop wallpaper) using the following line in that file...

Hi, IKingjr: I installed pcmanfm2 0.9.7 and find no difference in the behavior of the applications-tab compared to version 0.9.5. Perhaps my posting is unclear, but basically starting the first instance of pcmanfm2 by any method other than by using the standard menu entry or the icon on the task bar...

Hi, I am using pcmanfm 0.9.5 and in my panel there is in the "Application Launch Bar" an icon for the file manager (pcmanfm). When I first start pcmanfm by clicking on this icon or or by opening the panel Menu -> Accessories -> File Manager I can then click on the "Applications" ...

Thanks for the tip, viking777 :!: Rather than boycotting anything, I just implemented your suggestions as xml and did the setuid ... and now I have "Logout", "Reboot" and "Shutdown" as options in my root-menu 8) The implementation in xml is trivial and, if anyone is int...

Hi, folks: Doesn't anyone know the answer to this :?: Both MALsPA and myself have been waiting (patiently) for a suggestion ... :roll: Thanks in advance, -- Dr.U -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All right everyone, line up alphabetically ac...

I prefer to use my own openbox root-menu that I activate with a middle-click on the desktop. I would like to add a Logout entry to this menu that functions like the Logout that one gets when clicking the Menu button on the lxpanel (i.e. shows the nice popup window with the various options such as Sh...

Thanks again!!

Hi, I'm an experienced user of Linux Mint and am very happy that the LXDE version has moved beyond RC status! :D I hastily installed it on my netbook with no apparent problems. However, after booting I cannot get beyond the login screen! :? I enter my user name and then the password, but after hitti...

A big Thank You from me as well! :D I recently purchased a Medion Akoya netbook E1222 and, using the newest rtl8192se driver ( version 15 -- version 14 was always dropping the connection and would not reconnect), I am now very pleased with my new computer and Linux Mint 8 LXDE RC1. Fast, low memory ...

Well that sums it up, my desktop has become corrupt. If I min a window, open firefox in front of another ap, that ap is gone and so is all the other windows of firefox if i min them as well. My desktop has beome corrupt, any ideas before a complete reinstall? Some more information would be useful: ...

I removed the "915resolution" component and no longer get the error message. I also have now removed the 915resolution component (using the Synaptic Package Manager) and this seems to have solved the situation (meaning: no more error messages at boot or at shutdown). :D Thanks :!: Regards...
