Re: I'm playing whack-a-mole with XFCE bugs - screensaver edition

And to make it worse, I got the wrong culprit. I waited 3 days to report the bug, and that wasn't it. It wasn't Conky. Still not sure where the bug is. Possibly Waterfox. Possibly just the build of XFCE on MX. Not at all certain now. Look, you have to understand that you can't have a real distro unl...

Re: I'm playing whack-a-mole with XFCE bugs - screensaver edition

Nothing forces you to use Xfce. There are many other possibilities in Package Installer and you can just log into the one you like instead. Not much snark in that helpful tidbit, eh? Well, as it turns out, someone is putting a gun in my back and telling me to use XFCE on MX. Same people who ruined ...

Re: I'm playing whack-a-mole with XFCE bugs - screensaver edition

LIke I said, I need a lock screen, and that means screensaver. ALSO, as I mentioned it's not the screensaver having the problem... I can kill the screensaver job and it still happens. This means it's something XFCE or related video driver is doing. It's just grabbing the last image the screensaver m...

I'm playing whack-a-mole with XFCE bugs - screensaver edition

XFCE seemed so rock solid until I started to really use it. When I use Code::Blocks 17.12 (based on wxWidgets 3.x), the screensaver will start randomly popping up while I'm editing. It comes up almost randomly. The screen looks like whatever the previous image for the screensaver *was* with a few wi...

Suggestion: change dircolors from dark blue on black

I modified my .bashrc # fix the colors LS_COLORS=$LS_COLORS:'di=1;36:' ; export LS_COLORS I was just getting sick of not being able to read directory names. Since MX terminal defaults to black background, the default color scheme really doesn't work. Since you're tweaking everything, I'd like to sug...

What emits signals for monitor disconnect?

Not really an XFCE forum, but I thought I'd ask here. I'm trying to control XFCE freaking out every time a monitor temporarily disconnects. I want to block those XEvents, but I have spent considerable time trying to track down exactly what is responsible for this: XFCE, Xlib, some hardware monitorin...

Re: XFCE screensaver doesn't work with dual monitors

There has allegedly been a rewrite of the XFCE Display configuration that I'm waiting to see how well it works. https://simon.shimmerproject.org/2018/11/12/adventures-in-primary-display-land/ It doesn't look like it's going to fix all the problems, but the problems seem to be coming from laptop user...

Re: XFCE screensaver doesn't work with dual monitors

I knew there were complaints, denials of responsibility, but it looked pretty good on your system, so I assumed you had solved the problems.

What screensaver is on MX18?

XFCE screensaver doesn't work with dual monitors

Running MX 17.latest, Lenovo W530. I start with just the laptop, put it in the docking station, set up the second screen, etc. Screensaver starts on the laptop screen after the given time, but doesn't start on the external monitor. Not sure where to look, but this is stock MX behavior, so I'm hoping...

Re: Firefox not working with firejail

The firejail in MX testing repo seems to work for inkscape, but not for firefox. For some reason, it can't find it's configuration files on my machine.

Edit: It seemed to work once, but now it doesn't. Sorry, still don't know what's going on with firejail.
