Installing LXNM on an XO Laptop?

Post by roystonlodge »

Are there LXNM binaries available somewhere for the XO laptop?

I tried yum install lxnm, but was informed that the package does not exist.

Thanks in advance!

LXNM doesn't really work currently, that's why it's not in Fedora and not available for the XO with yum. Use NetworkManager-gnome instead.

We will release a new version of F11 or F12 with all the latest LXDE components soon (within the next 2-3 weeks I think). Just contact me if you are interested.

Regards,
Christoph

I decided to replace Fedora entirely and install DebXO instead. So far, I'm much happier.

However, lxmusic wouldn't play anything, so installed audacious, which worked fine. But then, when I tried to apt-get remove lxmusic, it wanted to remove lxde as well.

I assumed that would be a "very bad idea", so I didn't do it.

Is it possible to remove lxmusic, since I don't plan on using it, and since storage is in such limited supply on the XO?
