LXDE Forums

Before I switched to LXDE on my netbook I was using unity (ubuntu) and GNOME 2, I also regularly use OSX on my friend's computer. I'm trying to re-create the things that I like on other OS's on LXDE.

1. ideally, i want my machine to make the screen black when no mouse/keyboard input is received for 4 minutes, & sleep when no input is received for 5 minutes. iideally repeated sleep/wake should not crash the system & shouldn't ask for a password upon wake-up
2. iwant two finger scrolling enabled with side to side scrolling on my touchpad
3. i want file-system search to be easily accessible (key combination and/or click an icon on the taskbar). ideally it should index a file the moment it is created rather than crawl the file system (osX does this), and file contents should be searchable.
4. i want chromium browser to start a maximized incognito window, when the system starts ( ... i got that to work, I think by putting a line in /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart :
@chromium-browser --incognito --start-maximized
)

1. at least the screen can be taken care by xscreensaver. To make it sleep maybe you could install xfce4-power-manager (it may even take care of blanking the screen too). As for the crash that's an issue with the distribution you're using.
2. I guess this also is better be asked in your distro's forum (it depends on the X server's settings).
3. there are some applications that do this, I think (zeitgeist maybe). KDE has this service built-in; it uses far more resources than LXDE but then maybe that's what you need? A simple manual search tool is searchmonkey.
