Will my user preference files still function after installing to sda2 or should I wipe /home and start over. ?
I hate the thought of chasing passwords, add ons ect.

I am running fully updated stretch/sid with xfce. Xastir is installed from the repos. Imagemagick was installed during the system install.
I have tried using the OSM maps, but they do not display. When I start Xastir in a terminal i get the following:
Magick: No decode delegate for this image format ().
Could not allocate canvas to hold tiles.
I've just set up an alternative testing installation starting from Jessie and I've instantly noticed that the appearance of VLC can't be set via the qt4-qtconfig application (as I've done so far in Wheezy and Jessie), in short VLC doens't respond at all to any setting changed in qtconfig .
Looking at the bug reports for qt4-qtconfig and particularly this one #564548 looks like there are indeed issues with qt4, and comment 17 states thatQt4 entered in "only security bugfixes" mode, so this won't be fixed.
I use the stable version of Jessie.I think about migrate to the testing but actually only KDE is suit for meso I need to know whether a new version of this desktop is sufficiently stable or not.

A quick search led me the next bug+patch: [URL] ....

I did notice that files in ~/.config/session/ are created, but apparently not read upon login.
I tried to send a reply to the relevant bug 796062 but the email bounced back.
Having problem with latest testing and kde5 session restore?

The thing is, I can't use my keyboard volume control, it's only manipulating my ALSA configuration. Not my main Pulseaudio volume. Here is some information about my sound card:
$ pacmd list-cards
Welcome to PulseAudio! Use "help" for usage information.

I have installed and configured Debian testing and it's great.Now, I wanted to know how I can add or install a good spash screen while booting showing progress bar. I know, its always good to know what is happening. I still want to knowhow to do that.On searching, I only found complex howtos that I, of now cannot understand. I have already got almost every answer to my problems here on the forum.Edit: Also, how can I change sounds for login, shutdown, logout, startup etc?
View 7 Replies View RelatedAfter being away for a long time I decided to go back to Debian with XFCE. It came with XFCE 4.10 and I would like to install 4.12.
I've spent several hours trying things from forums and blogs but am so far unsuccessful.
I 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.

I'm on Debian testing and every time I try to install Gnome I get this:
Code: Select all# alexandernst at stupidbox in ~ [18:51:07]
$ LC_ALL=C sudo tasksel install gnome-desktop --new-install
tasksel: apt-get failed (100)
I tried installing it manually:

Is this a problem in Debian repos (held packages) or I'm actually doing something wrong?
since few days I have installed a fresh debian testing on my new laptop, I am using XFCE4 as DE, I noticed that when I use these themes: greybird, bluebird and albatross the GTK3 applications (mostly from gnome 3 stack) do not display correctly the application. I have another laptop with an older debian testing with XFCE4 and the GTK3 themes work properly. The only relevant difference between the old computer and the new one are the video driver, the older use radeonsi driver and newest the nvidia blob binary.

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.
I installed Debian 8.2 XFCE but i just can't get the sound to work. With speaker-test in console the sounddevice works, but in any other application it doesn't.
I checked if the channels in the alsamixer were muted and tried everything I could think of but i couldn't get it to work on XFCE. On GNOME it works fine.
I am installing canberra for event sound and input feed back sound. I installed freedesktop sound theme and moblin. All sound files are there but only trash empty event trigger sound.
Other events like: login, dialog error , etc etc no sound...
For login I created login.ogg link to destop-login.ogg but canberra-gtk-play claim unknown event id?
I like to have startup sound at xfce login and other event...
Out of daemons desperation* i had to install xfce4 Ok: kidding aside. I would like to add a shortcut to open the menu, but can't figure out how to call it. I checked */bin, but it ain't mentioned there. *heck: I think desolation is the better word.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I've Squeeze with a minimal XFCE 4 installed and looking for a simple text editor running under XFCE.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got a new Dell monitor (U2715H), and even with beta Nvidia driver (355.06) on Debian testing x86_64, it doesn't detect highest resolution (2560x1440) when connected over HDMI to Nvidia Geforce GT 620. I have an HDMI 2.0 compliant cable, and according to Dell reps, the monitor should support 2560x1440 over HDMI.
Some suggested using xrandr to set the video mode explicitly. I tried doing it, and first got a EDID file with nvidia-settings, and run edid-decode. Where is what I got there:
Code: Select allDetailed mode: Clock 241.500 MHz, 597 mm x 336 mm
2560 2608 2640 2720 hborder 0
1440 1443 1448 1481 vborder 0
+hsync -vsync
So I used those values to make a new mode in xrandr:
Code: Select allxrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00" 241.50 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1481 +hsync -vsync
xrandr --addmode HDMI-0 "2560x1440_60.00"
But I got this error:
Code: Select allX Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

I've got a desktop "konsole" shortcut that works great, it has a "konsole" icon on it that fits well.
I've copied this desktop shortcut to a taskbar shortcut (via drag'n drop).
The result is a usable shortcut, but with a wrong icon image.
I've reproduced the problem three times for different apps and obtained three times the same icon (but the shortcut is however good).
If I open the configuration popup, it displays the correct icon ...
Indeed, I found a way to change the icon : I must modify the icon of the filetype associated with "desktop" filetype ... but after a reboot, all icons will changed Strange isn't it ? have a look of the screenshot
