Running lenny with compiz/xfce4 and it seems to only affect a few things but I notice it mostly with google chrome. Whenever I open a new window it pops up behind chrome. This is very annoying. Chrome bug or config problem?
View 4 RepliesI recently installed Debian 8 with the Xfce Desktop Environment. I don't like the background in the login screen and want to change it. After some Googling I discovered that the path to the background is stored in the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.
Unfortunately, whenever I change the background field I'm left with a black background during login. (Yes, I triple checked that I spelt the path correctly). Does the login background have to meet some criteria I don't know about, like being a certain resolution?
EDIT: Here's the content of /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf:
Code: Select all#
# background = Background file to use, either an image path or a color (e.g. #772953)
# theme-name = GTK+ theme to use
# icon-theme-name = Icon theme to use
# font-name = Font to use
# xft-antialias = Whether to antialias Xft fonts (true or false)

After a sleep resume cycle, my background image is corrupt. It's replace by a weird image.

How do i change the login screens background?
Machine has Debian 8.2 with Cinnamon Desktop.
The solution for Firefox/Iceweasel at the bottom.
By the way, have you present those websites that have a background video on their divs, wow those are really cool than annoying, I have been looking for a while this morning to find a solution without success so how to block these videos on Firefox and Chromium?
Any way to remove the background color from the icon text? The little color bubble that holds the icon text? Yes I know I am picky...

I'm fairly new to Debian/GNOME, and I'm running Squeeze and GNOME 2 and I have some questions. How exactly do I change the background image for the login window? I've looked up various suggestions but none of them seem to work - the appearances window does not ever seem to change the background image for the login screen. Also, whenever I log out or when I close the lid on my laptop and it suspends, I am unable to log back in - all I see is a black screen and my cursor, which I can move.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to jessie today and I am having problems with my background. When I log in, the background tries to start on the external monitor but then it fails to load. I can change the background in settings but it does not show up. The background just becomes black and I am not sure why.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I close the windows they remain as the background image until something else is moved in its place. This becomes really annoying as I close something and still think it's open. It becomes very distracting. Has anyone had this issue or know what to search to find information on this because I wasn't sure.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently switched to Debian Lennyx64 (from ubuntu) and I am really enjoying it so far. I have just one problem, when I drag open windows of any program around on my desktop there is major drawing lag of the window.
This happens in other situations like it is very painful to watch a fast moving IRC chat because of this lag.
I've tried using different windows managers and enviroments and the problem still exists. I have a pair of crossfired Radeon 4850s and I have the drivers installed from AMD's website. I have a first gen Phenom x4 with 8gb of RAM so I don't think its an issue with resources. I tried looking at the Xorg.conf but I really do not know what to look for.
Anyone know why each time I boot up the machine the cube background image goes away and the background colour is left. This image i am placing is in Apparency/Skydome

I recently decided to buy a new pc and install only one operating system: Debian.
The PC has an Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB of RAM and installed Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 with desktop KDE SC 4.14.2
I can use it for a while, but it always ends with the same problem: All the windows turn black, except the edge.
Furthermore, in the application launcher menu, the edge only appears, like when I make right click on the desktop.
They appear completely transparent. Only be solved by restarting the PC.
I've had this for a while now and though I might as well do something about it.
When I have more than one or more windows open none of the show up on the taskbar, I'll show you what I mean.:
Although you can't see it from the picture, I actually have two windows open, both of which should show up on the taskbar (1.).
I can open windows by clicking on the button marked 2.
Is there something simple that I have missed?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have small problem with GNOME in Wheezy (trying it out just for fun). Whenever I start GNOME Shell and open any window, I get only blue color where windows should be. Entire window is just blue. Shell starts fine. GNOME Classic starts and works well too, even better than MATE in Jessie. My graphics card is old NVidia GeForce MX 440 8x AGP. I suspect it is causing problems.
Kernel is Wheezy's 3.2.

I'm afraid I can't use GNOME Shell in Wheezy. Might try Jessie's version instead.
I am an old XFCE fan, but would like to give Gnome a serious try (it has several things I like a lot).One XFCE feature I am missing is the intuitive capability to drag a window directly to another workspace. I did a bit of research and installed compiz (I am running debian testing on my laptop), but I am still unable to drag windows to another workspace.
Maybe I should tick the right option in compiz configuration manager, but I do not know where to start from. note that I am not after any eyecandy, I just would like to have this cute little feature of XFCE in my gnome environment.
I am using the last Debian Lenny (506) + the last ATI Privative Driver (10.9) + Compiz + Gnome, and, I have a great Slow Resize windows problem.When I try to resize a window (Alt + middle click) is very very, VERY!! slow. I try to find the solution browsing. After search
and read forums and threads about this, couldn't find it
It's been a long time since this started, and unfortunately I don't remember when this happened first. It only happens to Iceweasel and Icedove I guess. (I'm not sure!)
Used to happen in GNOME, now the same problem in Fluxbox.
The exact problem, is that when I have Iceweasel or Icedove open, and I'm using them, suddenly when I click nothing happens. But, if I use the keyboard it'll work... When this happens to Iceweasel or Icedove, the whole window manager becomes useless... When I want to close the windows, nothing happens, etc. Only the keyboard will work... Sometimes when I right-click on the navigation toolbar in Iceweasel, or somewhere like that, it'll work, and I'll be able to work for a few minutes... Then this will happen again, and usually, this time right-clicking on the toolbar and those areas will not work either... Even if I close the windows, the window manager will still not respond to mouse clicks... I don't understand what the problem is, but whatever it is, it's very annoying!
