Aug 14, 2010I was wondering if anyone knew if there is an KDE-style app launcher for XFCE, preferably in the repos. I'm using KDE on my main system, and would love to have the same ALT+Space launcher on my laptop. Only without having to install (and run) all of the KDE libraries.
Closest I came was a couple of Mac-OS style docks.
OpenSUSE :: XFCE 4.6.1 - How To Add Shutdown Launcher To Desktop
Mar 4, 2011I switched to xfce after repeated freezes in gnome-panel (2.28.1) due to unresolved 10-year-old bug (more than 8 applications when panel is vertical). My xfce (4.6.1) desktop comes without a shutdown launcher and ctrl-alt-del gives me a screensaver lock I tried adding a launcher, using

Jun 14, 2011I'm finally getting around to configuring my Xfce desktop environment and I'm having a lot of trouble having applications remember their last position. I did some Googling and found this is either not a supported feature or it depends on the application if they want to support it or not.
I'm trying to make my default terminal start in the center of the screen.
I found that you can add the command line parameter
Code:
For example and it should open at a 70x20 size in the 20+30 position. I added that to my panel launcher's command and ended up with
Code:
However the terminal isn't opening at all.
After further reading, I discovered the default launchers use your preferred applications so I just used replaced the launch command with the following and it worked perfectly:

Debian Multimedia :: No Sound On XFCE
Nov 3, 2015I was having a problem with the sound not going up to a high volume on my machine, so I tried following some online tutorials and ended up destroying the sound system on my machine. Now, instead of just having quite sound, I have no sound. The machine is a Dell Precision server and the attached files show my sound configuration. Ideally, I would like a way to make the sound louder (>100%), but now I will settle for just having sound.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: No Gnome 3.14 Custom Application Launcher?
Jun 30, 2015Seems like such an unbelievably basic question, but a day of google searches as well as directly on this site with key word combinations like "jessie gnome application launch" or "jessie gnome launcher" has only yielded one remark somewhere that the only way to get any kind of custom application launcher working on a gnome 3.14 desktop is to copy an already existing one from an older gnome setup, such as Wheezy.
I know gnome is a bit limited compared to many other desktops, but besides this I consider gnome in Jessie very good and just can't believe the ability to customize application launchers could have really been made completely impossible to do. This single omission alone would make gnome extremely lame in my view, so I sure hope that is not in fact the way it is.

Jul 4, 2015System: Debian 8.1
DE: XFCE 4.10
DM: LightDM
The problem is that I cannot switch between users.I have copied a script from another site, but it will only open a new lightdm in a new display (tty8) while the other user's session is still active (tty7).
/usr/local/bin/gdmflexiserver
Code: Select all#!/bin/bash
dm-tool switch-to-greeter
In xscreensaver, the same thing happens. If I click New Login, it will open a new lightdm session in a new display.I have searched in Google and these forums for some time already and I could not find any solution.I have just installed Debian 8.1 and XFCE in this computer, migrating from Debian 7.8 and Gnome. What I want is the same effect (or similar) to what gdm/gnome does.I have also found a solution that's about installing xfswitch-plugin, but it will also install gdm3 and lots of gnome dependencies.

Jan 24, 2011I recently gave XFCE a try, after using Openbox for a long time and I really like it, so that I think I will switch totally to XFCE. All is working fine, except one thing: I really would like to have event sounds.
So I launched the Appearance-Module and checked under the Settings-tab both Enable event sounds and Enable input feedback sounds. Following the tooltip for the event sounds I also installed libcanberra, but I get absolutely no event sound.
[Code]...
I thought, maybe there is a lack of a sound theme, so I also installed freedesktop-sound-theme, but that didn't help. I did already searched with Google and in this forum, but have found nothing that would help me. I would be very happy if anyone can give me an advice what to check or has a link to a tutorial for this sounds.

View 4 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: How Come Same Font Smaller In Xfce Than Xubuntu
Nov 24, 2013When trying to make my Xfce desktop in Debian 7 (wheezy) look the same way as in Xubuntu 12.04 (precise), I am able to (by copying some files from Xubuntu packages) make the fonts render the same way, set up the same desktop and icon themes etc and make everything look identical, with the exception of the fonts...
Since that, if I choose the font "Sans 10" for my desktop, in Debian - with all the same anti-aliasing options, and such, that I use in Xubuntu - the text looks smaller, everywhere, compared to Xubuntu.
So... How come this happens, if I have chosen the same font "Sans" with the same size "10"?
Below, are the different results, depending on the OS in question.
In Debian Xfce, I get this:
While, in Xubuntu, I get this:
I remember this same thing happening, once, when I was experimenting with setting up an Openbox desktop environment, on top of an Ubuntu 12.04 command line install, where, if I used LightDM, as the login manager, I would observe this same font size "reduction" (in, at least, some of the applications), with the theme I was trying to set up, while, if I used GDM, as the login manager, I would not observe this same font size reduction. (And, so, it seemed that some GTK library(?), being used by the GDM, prevented this from happening(?)...)
Also, I read somewhere, on the Internet, that Xubuntu builds Xfce on top of GNOME(?) (libraries, I guess)...
Could it be that, by installing some GTK library, the fonts will "return" to normal size? Or, do I have to configure something else, somewhere?
(P.S. - I've also tried choosing the size "11", in Debian Xfce - in case it's a matter of different values used, for the numbers, in each OS - but, if I do so, it only makes the text bigger than in Xubuntu, with the size "10"...)
Debian Multimedia :: XFCE - Changing Directory Icons
Jul 3, 2015I want to give some of my directories special folder icons. For example, I have a Projects directory and I noticed that there is a special 'projects' directory icon available in my icon theme; I think that it would be nice to use that icon instead of the default directory icon.Google informs me that the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs can be edited to give certain directories special properties, including special icons. However, all my changes to the file get reverted after restarting my computer. Is there a way to make changes to user-dirs.dirs permanent?

I've even tried deleting user accounts and recreating it but the problem persists.
View 4 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: XFCE Screen Frozen In New Jessie
Sep 16, 2015In trying to get openbox running in new Jessie installation, I followed an instruction in openbox.org: Help: XFCE/Openbox.
" If you want to use the Openbox root menu instead of Xfce's, you could terminate Xfdesktop by running the following:"
Code: Select allxfdesktop --quit.
That eliminated everything on the desktop except the Debian8 background image and the panel clock and made it impossible to do anything other than log out via a right click on the panel. Shutting down and rebooting just brings back the same situation. No terminal available.
