 |
|
Hi guys,
I did a light weight installation on my laptop by having OpenBox as the window manager and LightDM for session management. Brightness control is handled by XFCE4-power-manager and file management is done using PCmanFM. This is a hardened gentoo installation. I'm facing a couple of issues (listed below). Any help/guidance is much appreciated.
1) Each time I reboot my PC, the brightness resets to 100%. It doesn't remember the adjustments across sessions/reboots. How can it be configured to remember that?
2) PCmanFM displays the windows partitions in the bar, but when I try to mount it displays an error : "Not authorized to perform operation". How can it be configured to graphically ask for root password and then mount the partition? I've already tried installing gksudo, but that didn't work.

I have a similar problem with the brightness, the "solution" that I used was :
1) Install xbacklight
| Code: |
# emerge -av xbacklight
|
2) Put a xbacklight command into .bashrc, thus every time you open a terminal your brightness is set
Where X is the percentage of brightness.
