Re: SSH Under LXDE

Open a terminal and ssh

I run avahi (i.e. Bonjour, Zeroconf) on my systems so they advertise names like linux.local in the 192.168 net and then I can ssh linux.local
If not, you can determine its address and ssh 192.168.1.102 or whatever.

Re: New user, a couple questions.

To have Suspend and Hibernate buttons, you need the LXSession 0.4.5 that I just released (the support had been in git for some months) and you need upower.

Re: Need help setting new keyboard layout Swiss-French

The '@' indicates that lxsession should restart the command if it crashes. In this case you do not need the '@'.

Re: Menu's close every 3 seconds

In almost every case the proper first step is to contact your distro for help, rather than coming here. We have no idea what software version of any relevant component might be in PCBSD. I am not aware that any developer runs a non Linux platform, so there is little chance we will help you in any ca...

Re: Need help setting new keyboard layout Swiss-French

It's a second method. You would append just the extra command lines you want to run to the existing contents. If you aren't completely sure what you are doing with the autostart file, and you have it working, we have a saying in English "leave well enough alone."

Re: [HELP] LXPanel resets after every reboot

Work your way down from /home using ls -l to find the ownership and protection of all the directories. Reset them using chown and chmod so your UID can write them.
If you have no ~/.config/lxpanel/the rest of the path I gave, this accounts for why nothing is being saved.

Re: [HELP] LXPanel resets after every reboot

Investigate whether your changes are written to the configuration files, which are in ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels. Correct any protection problems that are preventing it.

Re: Need help setting new keyboard layout Swiss-French

If you are on Linux and run bash as your shell, you would normally put initialization in .bashrc and have .bash_profile source .bashrc "man bash" and read the section INVOCATION for how the profile files work The easiest way to get something to run once when you log in is to add it to /etc...

Re: Suspend to Ram and screen lock

Right. Assuming you have gnome-screensaver and gnome-screensaver-preferences, you can run the preferences setter from a terminal if all else fails and you can't find a menu item for it. It could also be that you have xscreensaver. Nothing stops you from just deinstalling the screensaver if you don't...

Re: hamster-applet (for gnome-panel) on lxpanel

Hamster is part of GNOME, and most probably available in your distribution – go ahead and search for “hamster” in your package manager! Distribution version hopefully will match GNOME stable, whichever that is at the moment and is suggested for everyday use. Note: Hamster applet is an applet, so yo...
