Re: Bring page to top function/app?

Thank you,drooly, for the speedy reply and info. Wasn't quite sure how to accomplish this. It's done now and have saved the wiki page for future reference.
Kind regards.

Bring page to top function/app?

Good Day, Am wondering if there is a way to bring a page to top and make it default on the desktop. Here is a senario. Have a browser, leaftpad doc, and lxterm all open on the desktop.

Re: PCManFM & Open as root

Re: sound volume indicator not working

I never liked alsa-mixer; had much better control with pulseaudio. So I would install pulseaudio and pavucontrol and use them to get control of your sound. Likely there is nothing tecnically wrong with your "messed up" hard drive, just some abused information on it. Reinstall a good linux...
