Dear friends,
I just installed the new rolling iso. But I cannot see any desktop icons and it is not possible to apply a background picture. Anything missing?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

offlineAdministratorHi michaelbischof,
I didn't install the last ISO (200621) but I don't meet any problem on my system freshly updated.
I tested the last slitaz-rolling.iso, slitaz-rolling-core.iso and slitaz-rolling-core64.iso in Live mode and all is fine.Can you access to the file manager with a right clik? Are icons present in the file manager?

offlineKey MasterPcmanfm autostarts (/etc/xdg/autostart/pcmanfm.desktop) in desktop manager mode on boot to display desktop wallpaper,shortcuts and contents in the ~/Desktop directory.
Check if it's running:
ps -A | grep pcmanfm
You should see this output:
pcmanfm --desktopApplication/Preferences/Desktop Session Settings
PCmanFM Desktop Manager should be EnabledStill fails then open terminal as root.
Type in terminal:
pcmanfm --desktop
Hit Enter key.

offlineMemberThanks for the quick reaction, @mojo.
No, I do not get any error messages from the first proposals. Only from the last one:root@slitaz:/home/tux# pcmanfm --desktop
** (pcmanfm:2471): WARNING **: The directory '~/Templates' doesn't exist, ignoring it
** (pcmanfm:2471): WARNING **: modules directory is not accessible

offlineMemberI guess it must be connected with some update that does not fit. On another Slitaz installation, hitherto without problems, I did an update and now I have the same trouble. Your command line tool shows this:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# pcmanfm --desktop
(process:9386): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.No wallpaper is visible, black Desktop, no icons.

offlineMemberMy guess for the culprit: the new package lxsession046

offlineKey MasterInstalling lxsession046 on top of lxsession-0.5.5 or replacing lxsession with lxsession046 on my system breaks xsession.
I boot to a black screen.
This is how I fixed this problem on my system.
Go to virtual terminal 2:
ctrl-alt+F2
Login user root, password root.
Remove lxsession046,do not remove or reinstall lxde.
tazpkg remove lxsession046
Hit n for no when prompted to remove or reinstall it's reverse dependency lxde.
Force install lxsession-0.5.5:
tazpkg -gi lxsession-0.5.5 --forced
Typereboot
Hit Enter keyPosted 3 years ago # -

offlineMemberWith me it failed. Why?
When removing lxsession046 it not only asked if I want to remove its dependencies. I clicked n for no, but then I was asked whether I want to remove the packages changed by lxsession046. I clicked no as well and then installed lxsession-0.5.5. - Then reboot. No change, problem goes on. So reinstall dbus and lxde? And if so: how to do this?Regards,

offlineKey MasterThe issue I had after installing lxsession046 is lxsession fails completely.
Openbox,lxsession,and pcmanfm all fail to start.
This may be a different problem than what you have.I updated 196 packages after a clean install of slitaz-rolling-core64 in a qemu hard disk image.
Reboots without any problems, the updated system has both lxsession and lxsession046 installed at the same time. This could explain why there is no lxsession failure after the update.I downgraded dbus (1.12.18->1.12.16) and dbus-helper (1.12.18->1.12.16)
Same black screen on boot with lxsession046, again replacing with lxsession-0.5.5 fix's the problem.Posted 3 years ago # -

offlineKey MasterThe reason I didn't reinstall lxde is it re-installs lxsession046 that broke my lxsession.
Downgrade using attached dbus and dbus-helper:
tazpkg install dbus-1.12.16.tazpkg --forced
tazpkg install dbus-helper-1.12.16.tazpkg --forcedAttachments
