 Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2008 1:53 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] xfce4 - blank desktop |
 |
|
I just recompiled world and now I get "blank desktop", I'm using xfce4-4.4.2
There are only bottom and top panels visible, clicking mouse buttons doesn't give me any input.
I've recompile xfce "emerge -e xfce4" total over 350packages were recompiled but it didn't fixed anything.
Does anybody knows how to fix it?

Please post emerge --info. There seem to be A LOT of problems with xorg-1.5.0.
I put mine in package.mask  |

Do you think it is related to xorg and not to xfce?

No I don't think so because you probably have xorg-1.4.something | Code: | | emerge -s xorg-server |
I think all those CFLAGS (except -O2 -pipe) are implied. See "cat /proc/cpuinfo", and "-fomit-frame-pointer" is included in -O2. But that's not really a problem, just an observation. 
Looks more like a xfce problem than like a xorg problem.
What about testing with another WM - like twm, fluxbox, gnome, KDE ? |

What do you mean with "blank desktop"? No icons and/or no wallpaper?
Make sure you have enabled Xfce for managing the desktop. IIRC the option is under Settings > Desktop Preferences and there mark Let Xfce manage the desktop.

That is correct, there is no icons / no wallpaper.
I can not click anything as there is Settings - right clicking on a desktop doesn't bring anything.
I could try another windows manager but I think there is something wrong with xfce4. I was googling and I'm not the only one with this problem, many Debian users experiencing the same problem. |
