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

Gentlemen,
may I repeat my question: if desktop icons are not shown where to look for? Something wrong with Gtk or do I miss something?

Hi 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?

Dear Ceel,
the live-Cd worked ok. After installing it on a partition this roblem occured. Thanks for the tip, I will try that. At the end any Linux problem was solved. ;-)

Ceel,
no, in the file manager pcmanfm no icon was visible. The Desktop is black. it is not possible to insert another background image.
Offline
Pcmanfm 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:
[c]pcmanfm --desktop[/c]
Application/Preferences/Desktop Session Settings
PCmanFM Desktop Manager should be Enabled
Still fails then open terminal as root.
Type in terminal:
[c]pcmanfm --desktop[/c]
Hit Enter key.
Any error messages?

Thanks 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

I 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.

My guess for the culprit: the new package lxsession046
Latest log entries Show
2020-06-30 04:43:45 - Installed - lxsession046 (0.4.6.1)

2020-06-29 21:15:33 - Installed - lxmenu-data (0.1.5)
A moment after having installed this as an upgrade in tazpanel I am told that there is one package to be updated: this one!

Installing 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:
[c]ctrl-alt+F2[/c]
Login user root, password root.
Remove lxsession046,do not remove or reinstall lxde.
[c]tazpkg remove lxsession046[/c]
Hit n for no when prompted to remove or reinstall it's reverse dependency lxde.
Force install lxsession-0.5.5:
[c]tazpkg -gi lxsession-0.5.5 --forced[/c]
Type [c]reboot[/c]
Hit Enter key
Offline
With 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?

So I tried it again on another Slitaz-installation on another harddrive. It failed again:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# pcmanfm --desktop
(process:2531): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.

The 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.

@Mojo
How do you downgrade dbus and dbus-helper?
Or: how to upgrade the system in a way that might work?
Wouldn't it be better to re-install the whole „lxde set“?
As of now it functions but it is ugly.
Regards,
Michael
Offline
The reason I didn't reinstall lxde is it re-installs lxsession046 that broke my lxsession.
Downgrade using attached dbus and dbus-helper:
[c]tazpkg install dbus-1.12.16.tazpkg --forced[/c]
[c]tazpkg install dbus-helper-1.12.16.tazpkg --forced[/c]

Ok, now I „synchronized“ my installation according to your advice. The problem goes on, nevertheless.
What now? ;-)

So I tried a Slitaz.5.0-Live-CD. It works there. I could apply a wallpaper-background-image. I just wanted to know which packages are installed but „dpkg -l“ did not function. So I cannot send the list to you, the pdf-file is 6,3 MB. - Interesting: using this Live-CD I am not able to mount a ext4-partition. The error message is input/output error /dev/fd0.

A laymens question: when I boot manually with Grub2
initrd /boot/rootfs1.gz rootfs2.gz rootfs.3.gz rootfs4.gz
it does not work. How to put all those images together into one rootfs.gz?

@michaelbischof
I wasn't able to reproduce your problem; and yet my system uses lxsession046 and not lxsession-0.5.5...

will work ;-)

Dear Ceel,
thanks a lot for your effort! I am sure to be able to overcome this problem. Only question: how long will it take? Can you as admin please mark this thread as resolved?

Thanks to all who read and contributed to this thread! I went to another country and found the same problem on another Slitaz-rolling-installation. So I updated the whole system and then it worked, icons are shown, okay. If I look for the status with „tazpkg -l | grep lx“ I get this:
lxappearance 0.6.3 X-Fenster
lxde 0.3.2.1 Meta
lxinput 0.3.5 X-Fenster
lxpanel 0.10.0 X-Fenster
lxrandr 0.3.2 Dienstprogramme
lxsession 0.5.5 X-Fenster
lxsession-edit 0.2.0 X-Fenster
lxtask 0.1.9 Systemwerkzeuge
dbus 1.12.18 X-Fenster
dbus-glib 0.110 X-Fenster
But with the update a new problem started: Kompozer does no longer run!
/usr/lib/kompozer/kompozer-bin -v
gives this output:
/usr/lib/kompozer/kompozer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
root@slitaz:/home/tux/Desktop# locate libmozjs
/usr/lib/kompozer/libmozjs.so
/usr/lib/palemoon/libmozjs.so
On this installation the browser palemoon is installed as well. And it works.
What to do?
