Re: Problems installing xfce4

#11 Post by keos »

i fix it, i found another wicd icon at the menu so i removed the two icons at the panel and moved the one from the menu to the panel.

There still going on a minor problem: two icons of synaptic, gparted, etc at the menu system option.

The last problem is this, a delay of around a minute when the system start:

[....] configuring network interfaces ... ifup: waiting for lock on /run/network/ifstate.eth0

Do i have to open another post?

I think it's all a part of your original problem, to install Xfce4 on antiX.

I got a great reply tonight that explains what is missing.
Xfce4 has to be guided to appear on Frugal.
I installed antiX on an EeePC netbook, then Xfce4 and it boots and runs. Algo feo, pero corregible.
I'll post about it tomorrow. Got to get up early and it's already late. :)

from Member 736b69646f6f
“no sign of Xfce”
installing the xfce package doesn’t automatically edit the display manager configuration file.

1. edit /etc/slim.conf
find the line which looks like:
sessions rox-fluxbox,space-fluxbox,fluxbox,rox-icewm,space-icewm,icewm,rox-jwm,space-jwm,jwm,herbstluftwm
and change it to:
sessions rox-fluxbox,space-fluxbox,fluxbox,rox-icewm,space-icewm,icewm,rox-jwm,space-jwm,jwm,herbstluftwm,xfce4start

2. will need to kill/restart slim display manager (or just reboot) for the change to take effect.

3. Next time you visit slim login screen, Xfce will be among the available F1 selections.

Get ready to search the earlier forum messages, xfce ignores a handful of details,
like session autostart items already in place for the other window managers
Después de la primer vez que inicia el Xfce4 será el predeterminado.

Si tienes otras repos habilitados en antiX debe deshabilitarlos
hasta que alguien puede confirmar que no causa problemas.

antiX no usa systemd.
Muchos programas en internet que vienen en ficheros *.deb, no serán compatibles.

Well ... i did something ... i don't know if it is going to work in the future, but till now -- after restart twice -- it is working good. I changed repos into synaptic from scid to testing and at the slim configuration i changed too, as Richard recommended to xfcestart.

VLC is installed and work fine.


Only one thing remain been a problem, a delay ...:

Sounds like a conflict of network managers.
If you have more than one?

if you installed network-manager, remove any eth* entries in /etc/network/interfaces.
