Re: which distribution with lxde

I can't seem to find the article that gives instructions on how to create a script to rotate the wallpaper so I will try to give you instructions here. ... Snip, snip, snip ... #!/bin/bash #Script n=10 while [ $n -le 10 ] do sleep 3m && NUMBER=$[ ( $RANDOM % 5 ) + 1 ] pcmanfm --set-wallpape...

Re: Conky doesn't "stick" on my desktop :(

I got Conky to work! Woo-Hoo! Okay, I did not figure it out all on my own. A buddy of mine had a go at it; he's better at Conky stuff than I am. It still took him a bit of messing about to get it done, but here's what he came up with: You have to comment out or delete this line if it's in your .conk...

Re: Desktop icon issues

I would like to change the displayed name of one or two icons but cannot find a way to do it. I want to add a desktop icon pointing at a string. eg. "/usr/bin/firefox" 127.0.0.1:631 This points to cups, but again cannot see how to do it in LXDE. I am running PCLinuxOS by the way. I figure...

You can see from my thread I don't Lubuntu. Maybe you can glean something from my .conkyrc for yours.

Right on; I'll check that out and see what happens.

Re: Conky doesn't "stick" on my desktop :(

I don't use Conky but here is some information. It appears that the original poster got Conky to work but sacrificed PCManFM in the process. I'm not sure if that is what you want. :? What exactly do you want Conky to do for you? I just wanted the Conky display to stay in place and be part of the de...

Re: which distribution with lxde

Lubuntu 11.10 is my choice and I have tried a bunch of them. A pure LXDE without all of the gnome 2 garbage you have left over when installing LXDE over another *buntu. The speed differential on a netbook is amazing when you compare Win7 and Lubuntu running on the same machine. WIn7 uses over half ...

Re: which distribution with lxde

I'm using Lubuntu 11.10 on my laptop.

I just got home from an all-nighter at work, so I'll try it after a kip.

Thanks!
