Dyslexic Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 (edited) Does anyone have XFCE 4.2.1 working? After the blinky mouse screen, I get the Mandriva wallpaper, and that's it. I can move the mouse, and switch to a new terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F*), but that's it. I have kill X to get out of it. All the XFCE packages, except the devel packages are installed.

scarecrow Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 It works fine here (installed from scratch). If you updated from a previous version, try removing your user settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 works here, but then I run Cooker and so although I have the same packages as you I got there a different way. Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? Does it work if you create a new user? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 have you installed from one of the official mirrors or one of the "unofficial" ones? there are several versions for xfce out there, but most are for 10.1 afaik. if you accidently installed the 10.1 packages on your le2005, it could break somewhere.

Dyslexic Posted April 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'm running the latest Cooker packages prior to the 10.3 branch. I just wanted to know if the packages are working for others. Now that I know they are, I'll spend time figuring out what's wrong. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyslexic Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 It turns out that KDE's gtk-qt engine was crashing XFCE. Deleting the .gtkrc-2.0 file fixed it. gtk-qt also does bad things to Gnome, in case anyone else encounters this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 oh yeah, gtk-qt is still fairly betaish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
