@sector 11 - It is simple. You need to install libfm3.

I got a new CD last night: Dirty Wood by Dumpstaphunk. A new but solid New Orleans funk group which includes two of the Neville family's next generation.

Well, like I said in the top post, all I have to do is boot the system with rt2800pci blacklisted, then modprobe it after the system is up and running.

Tim

Thanks, @pidsley.

That certainly looked worth trying, and I did. But, alas, my system still froze at the Slim login screen.

I have a very strange problem. First, everything worked great up through kernel 3.9.8. But ever since kernel 3.10.0, I have had this problem. Today, I installed 3.10.9 and the problem still persists. I use kernel module rt2800pci for my Ralink RT3062 PCI wireless card. If the module is loaded during...

Do another dist-upgrade. The problem has now been resolved in the Siduction fixes repos.

Tim

@mirix - Yes, it is a fact that ntp will not correct the time if it is off by more than a certain amount. Offhand, I cannot remember what that amount is. I believe that you have now fixed your problem. Here is how I start running ntp on a system that has not been running it: 1) stop ntp 2) Using a l...

No need to apologize, I was the one who forgot to put it back. Thanks for helping me.

Tim

Ok, everything is back to normal, the way it was before the new LXDE packages started coming. There were two issues that had to be discovered and fixed. 1) When pidsley had me backup my LXDE profile and create a new one, I never went back and swapped in the old one. That is why my panel was ugly, my...

Yes, Ivan. The packages that messed me up came from Debian, but the packages that fixed things again came from Siduction.

Tim

Ok, the Siduction devs helped me resolve the upgrade errors. Now, the problem is mostly resolved. I had to add "@lxpanel" to ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart (it was never there before), and now lxpanel starts at login. However, my key combos (such as Super+w to open the web browser) no ...

Dern! The upgrade failed:

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/lxsession-data_0.4.9.2-1+siduction1_all.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/lxsession-logout_0.4.9.2-1+siduction1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Just now, I found lxpanel 0.5.12-2~pre1 0 in the Siduction fixes repos. Maybe that will fix the problem. It was not there a couple of hours ago.

Tim

Heh. tint2 works like a charm.

Tim

Creating the .xinitrc file with contents "exec startlxde", then running startx, gave me a black screen with a cursor. I had to do a machine reset to regain control.

I will have to install tint2 to see what it does. I don't really know fbpanel, but I could try.

Tim

@pidsley - Ok, I renamed ~/.config/lxpanel. Running lxpanel still gave me a blank panel. the lxpanel directory was recreated, as you said.

Tim

@pidsley, sorry for the confusion. When I log in to a new session, lxpanel is not displayed and it is not running. If, in a terminal, I enter "lxpanel &", a panel is displayed, but it is totally blank. No icons, no menus, nothing happens if I click or right-click it.

Tim

@pidsley - I tried your second suggestion. I still get a completely blank lxpanel.

Also, echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP returns LXDE, but I'm not sure if that is what you meant.

Tim

Wow, that's a lot of suggestions. Thanks, guys! Pidsley, I am using Slim. ~/.config/lxpanel is a directory on my system, with subdirectories "default" and "LXDE". default is empty and LXDE contains file "config" and directory "panels". Should I still try to re...

Note: I originally posted this on the LinuxNoob forums. Rhowaldt suggested that I repost it, here. I am running Siduction Linux, not BBQ, so if this is forbidden, I apologize. On 13-Aug, dist-upgrade messed up LXDE on my Siduction system. I originally thought the problem was that d-u mistakenly rem...
