Debian Multimedia :: Enable Hotkeys With LXDE On Jessie

Apr 27, 2015

I've been using debian for well over a year, previously with the gnome desktop. I never really liked how much memory and CPU it used, but many things like the hotkeys worked out of the box, and it was relatively easy to configure. After upgrading to Jessie I decided I'd give LXDE a go given it was lightweight and seemed more complete than e17.

However, after over a day struggling to get everything to work just right, I am still unable to use use my hotkeys (volume control, brightness control, etc.). The volume can be controlled through the GUI, but the brightness seems to have no control whatsoever. In any event, I installed the drivers and firmware for the hardware and used the instructions in the link to try and configure the key bindings, but nothing has worked: [URL] ....

:Questions#Change_hotkeys I'm not sure what to do now.

Debian Multimedia :: Jessie - LXDE Doesn't Shutdown Properly

May 19, 2015

I know the problem has been partly solved in this old thread [URL] .....

Now we have Jessie as stable, yet LXDE doesn't shutdown properly:

On the same computers, Wheezy LXDE shut down very fast

I installed Jessie from the netinstall image.

On a 2007 computer, it's like the old days with a Pentium II running some version of Puppy Linux or Slitaz. The system shuts down after a while but the computer remains on.

On a 2013 laptop, I added the line init=/bin/systemd in the Grub default file as advised on the old thread above. The laptop shuts down after a while, the system first, then the hard disk goes to sleep, then all the leds are off.

If I run the magic command, the computer shutdowns in a breeze, perhaps even quicker than good old Wheezy:

Code: Select all# systemctl poweroff

Now, is this still a systemd bug? Doesn't look like it since the systemctl command works. Is it an LXDE bug? Looks like it in a way - if the LXDE shutdown button enabled the systemctl poweroff command, I suppose the button would work?

Is there a way to make the LXDE shutdown button run the systemctl poweroff command?

I'm glad Wheezy is still with us because I wouldn't install Jessie for newbies — they'd think shutdown (through clicking on a button) is even worse than in Windows.

Debian Multimedia :: File Association For AVI Does Always Open Totem

Nov 13, 2010

Since I installed my new debian squeeze system with gnome 2.30.2 I got problems with totem and totem-xine application.

Problem 1: The file asociation for .avi does always open totem! I changed the .avi file asociation unter -> preferences -> "preferred applications" for example to vlc... but no chance it always open the totem player. I looked also in the gnome configuration tool (gconf) and there is the file asociaton set on vlc, but he still opens totem.

Problem 2: All .avi files with video content I cannot see the video and I hear only the audio stream. If I open the video I got a popup with the message that the codec is not installed, then I click on search codecs and totem search for it and does not found anything. I have the codec installed because I see it in avidemux...
- If I install only totem I install also all gstreamer packages ...
- If I install totem-xine I install all xine plugins packackages etc ...
- If I use vlc or mplayer all works fine ...
- If I start totem over a console shell and I open the video, I get no error message in the shell.

Debian Hardware :: Intel AC 7260 WiFi Not Work In Jessie LXDE With Wicd

Feb 5, 2015

My wifi does not work in the actual debian testing jessie lxde amd64 with wicd version (fresh install). What I've done:

0. Fresh testing jessie install (offline and ignored the question for adding iwlwifi)

1. Adding following sources:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

2. apt-get update

3. apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi

4. modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi

So searching the web just brings up the wheezy way solution (backport new kernel and iwlwifi).

But in this case, actual jessie testing kernel is already installed by default and so the actual 43 firmware-iwlwifi

Some information:
Code: Select all# dpkg -l |grep -i iwlwifi
ii  firmware-iwlwifi                      0.43                              all          Binary firmware for Intel Wireless cards

Code: Select all# dmesg | grep wifi
[    7.890216] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: irq 107 for MSI/MSI-X
[    8.478878] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode
[    8.479867] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 23.214.9.0 op_mode iwlmvm
[    8.553105] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7260, REV=0x144
[    8.553193] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled

[Code] ....

I must add: lxde Debian uses Wicd, so network-manager is not installed !

Wicd seems to be the problem. After changing to network-manager, everthing is ok.

Next install with the official Jessie release, i will look, why wicd not work out of the box.

Debian Multimedia :: Jessie KDE Does Not Show File Manager With Dvd-rom

May 7, 2015

When I insert a dvd-rom I dont get the option for the file manager. I do get k3b, vlc,dragon and two other options. Im guessing this is a bug since this didnt happen with Wheezy. When I insert a dvd data disc I do get the file manager option. Strange this is, after inserting the data disc, removing it and then reinserting the dvd-rom I see the option for file manager. How can I get the file manager option to show everytime I insert a dvd-rom? I tried to,create a new option in system setting but man is that stuff confusing.

i,want to be able to browse a dvd-rom movie/video using dolphin when i insert one. I want open with file manager to be one of the choices. I think file manager is the choice.

My question: are there features in Gnome that are missing in LXDE? I can not think of any, so far. The only thing I miss so far is a possibility to edit the menu, as the menu is huge

I am using Wheezy LXDE amd64 and I want to remove Iceweasel and install the real Firefox. Now according to this page - URL... Firefox is only there for Ubuntu and Opensuse officially by Mozilla.

Debian Multimedia :: Faulty Icons In LXDE Task Bar Since 8.0

May 2, 2015

I saw that on every computer in which I installed LXDE on Debian 8 (the problem was not existing on Debian 7.8.0)

So I decided to use mate-desktop-environment but a brand new problem (always ) made his apparition when I try to use tightvncserver on a Mate desktop (no task bar, and memory growing GB after GB up to the memory explosion after 1 or 2 minutes with 16GB RAM -I will post another subject for that once I will know more things about it - since it is, after all, an huge problem causing the computer to crash if "reboot" our "vncserver -kill :1" is not quickly done)

But here talking about LXDE taskbar: others LXDE users, do you have this problem with the icons ?

Debian Multimedia :: Laptop Battery Monitor In LXDE

Apr 17, 2016

I managed to install Jessie on my new Lenovo Ideapad 100 and have been trying to put the finishing touches on it. I downloaded FDPowermonitor and the icon showed up right away. Then after a few minutes it went away and hasn't shown back up.

I think I need to modify /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart to include @fdpowermon but I cannot figure out how to have the permission and use a editor I understand.

I just log into LXDE with root... but there has got to be a better way yes? But that didn't work anyway...

Debian Multimedia :: LXDE: Wallpaper Via Command Line?

Feb 20, 2010

Env: Lenny LXDE
[Question]

By (first step) doing: pcmanfm --set-wallpaper /point-to-new-wallpaper, it change the configuration to the new wallpaper, then, my question is: What is the most correct way to "refresh the desktop screen" (by command line) so that the new wallpaper is then displayed.

And by (second step) doing: lxsession-logout, and choosing 'Logout', the new wallpaper is displayed after the new login. No problem here. Is there a (most correct) way to completely change the picture and activate it by command line (without user intervention)?

Debian Multimedia :: Keyboard And Mouse With No Response After LXDE Boot

Feb 11, 2015

I use the debootstrap to make a base Debian System of the ARM architecture for BananaPro [URL]... , and install the LXDE desktop. But the keyboard and mouse didn't response after the LXDE boot.

If I use the Debian system without the LXDE desktop, and it is normal. Meanwhile, I only installed the framebuffer driver, and can't find the right GPU driver to install.

Is caused by the lack of the GPU driver ? and what should i do ?

Debian Multimedia :: LXDE Desktop And Taskbar Icon Configuration?

Aug 1, 2011

The first issue is adding launch icons to the task bar. I can add launchers, but cannot figure out how to link them to applications. It is only half a problem, because putting links on the desktop is easy, but I prefer having launchers on the task bar so the desktop is not cluttered.The big problem is placement of desktop icons. I like to put icons on the right side of the screen, and more importantly, I like to group related icons. For example, if I had a folder or document for Linux and another for Debian, I want them grouped together. I also like arranging by category: folders in one column, documents and images in another and launchers (if any) in a third. However, if there is way to enable desktop icons to be moved, I cannot figure it out. Icons are fixed on the left side of the screen with folders first in alphabetical order, then documents/images in alphabetical or numerical order, and launch icons last.My guess is icons can be moved, but I am not computer literate enough to figure it out. It does not make sense that the task bar can be placed on the top, bottom, left or right, but desktop icons cannot be moved. I have tried every preference setting, but there are no relevant options.Am I over-looking something that is not obvious or is it a strange deficiency with LXDE?

Debian Multimedia :: How To Mount Floppy Disk Using Squeeze/LXDE?

Sep 11, 2011

I am trying to configure my test Squeze install on an older PC with LXDE desktop, and I can't seem to find anything which would enable me to mount a floppy.Then I tried to use the konsole as root mount -w /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0

But although this device and this mount point exist, nothing is mounted. I double checked with various floppies which I know have data on them and none of them are being mounted. The umount command would I expect be umount /media/floppy0 /dev/fd0...I tried searching the web and this forum and didn't find anything helpful. Can anyone help?

Debian Multimedia :: LXDE - Getting Window Maximize / Minimize Buttons To Look Bigger

I am using Debian Wheezy with LXDE and I am using the monitor resolution as 1280x1024. Now the Window maximize, minimize buttons look tiny and its pretty irritating. Is there anyway I can make them bigger ? I tried googling but whatever documentation I found was regarding GNOME not LXDE since not many people use it. I don't want to try any online themes of Linux just want the buttons to be bigger. Is there anyway ?

Debian Multimedia :: Can't Install VLC Jessie

May 25, 2015

I recently upgraded from wheezy to jessie and everything went as planned with dist-upgrade. However I just noticed that I can't play any video file. I thought about upgrading vlc, as it was already installed but it had dependency problems. So I tried to remove it

Code: Select allsudo apt-get remove --purge vlc

Then If I try to install vlc I receive this message:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

vlc : Depends: vlc-nox (= 2.2.0~rc2-2) but 2.0.3-5+deb7u2+b1 is to be installed
Depends: libvlccore8 (>= 2.2.0~pre1) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: vlc-plugin-notify (= 2.2.0~rc2-2) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: vlc-plugin-samba (= 2.2.0~rc2-2) but it is not going to be installed
Breaks: vlc-nox (< 2.2.0~pre2-2~) but 2.0.3-5+deb7u2+b1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Now, I thought about removing vlc-data but I received this message saying that 253 packages will be removed (624Mb worth of applications). Am I uninstalling my entire system with this?

This is my sources.list

I'm running

Running aptitude offers to remove this 260+ packages, so I'm not happy with that.

Debian Multimedia :: Jessie With Gnome - Cannot Log In

Dec 29, 2015

Here's the thing:

- Debian boots normally
- I get the login screen
- Once my credentials entered, I see only the grey foreground of the login screen for a couple of seconds, then a black screen with a prompt for like half a second and then I'm back to the login screen. No error message, nothing.

When booting in recovery mode and use startx, it works fine (it's my setup at the moment). From there, if I start gdm3 (systemctl start gdm.service), I get the black screen with a prompt and I can do nothing, I have to shut down directly by pressing the button.I tried to add Debian-gdm user to the video group (even if I don't use nVidia drivers), to replace gdm by lightdm and even to remove any display manager but the issue is not solved.Here are some outputs:

Code: Select all# dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
Job for gdm.service failed. See 'systemctl status gdm.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm3, action "reload" failed
Code: Select all# journalctl -xn
-- Logs begin at Tue 2015-12-29 19:16:26 CET, end at Tue 2015-12-29 20:20:55 CET

[code]....

Since removing gdm didn't change anything, I assume it doesn't have anything to do with it but still.

General :: File Association For Desktop Environment

Mar 9, 2011

With a desktop environment, there are file associations that goes with it. I'm a minimalistic user, who doesn't use any of such, but still want some kind of file associations to ease my burden. So I'm searching for a program that does something like the following. open file.pdf this will look at the extension, and translate to okular file.pdf. Of course one can always write a bash script to do this. I wonder if there is something existing, so I don't reinvent the wheel.

Ubuntu :: Txt File Association Fail On Fat32?

Sep 15, 2010

I have a Windows 7 partition, a fat32 partition that I use for moving data between Windows and Linux, and an Ubuntu partition. On the Ubuntu partition, I can right click on a text file and the top of the menu says "open with 'gedit'." On the fat32 partition, the same action says just "open," and the "open with" submenu doesn't include gedit.

If I right-click and choose properties on the same file, the "open with" tab shows gedit as the default file association. So that's weird... anyone else seen anything like this?

Ubuntu :: VLC Playlists - Won't Remember File Association

Sep 21, 2010

I am trying to use VLC playlists.

Either xspf or m3u.

Creating them is fine but the only they will launch is if I "Open With" VLC.

Having "Remember this application for "XSPF playlist" files." checked seems to make the assignment b/c when I right-click to get properties VLC is chosen under the "Open With" tab.

The icon doesn't change from the music note image either (I thought I'd get some VLC icon)

I understand this is a bug and you must edit ".local/share/applications/mimeapps.list"

But don't know what to enter there for XSPF or M3U files.

Ubuntu 10.04.1
VLC 1.2.2

Ubuntu :: File Association To A Program That Will Only Run In It's Own Directory?

Apr 9, 2011

is a file association to a program that will only run in it's own directory. (Arobas' Guitar Pro, if you're curious). The link created by the installer leads to a shell script, which cd's to /opt/GuitarPro6, then executes the program there. Attempting to call the program from outside that directory fails, as the program cannot find it's libraries. It starts normally otherwise.

Passing a file name to the program via the command line works fine, IF you start with the working directory as above. The question is, what can I do to pass the filename to the command line in the shell script, so that double-clicking in Nautilus brings up the program with the file? (Currently, just associating with the shell script gives me the program, with no loaded file).

Second issue is files with an .hjt extension. They're essentially text files, following a specific format used by Treepad. Nautilus recognizes them as text files. When I change their association to Treepad, regular .txt files follow this change, and when I change the .txt's back to Leafpad, the .hjt's follow. How can I separate the .hjt's from the .txt's?
