LXPanel not visible
Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2017 2:04 pm
I have just installed the FreeBSD (version 12, current) version of LXDE Desktop as follows. This is a "slimmed down" version for FreeBSD releases according to the pkg system text.
The problem is that the lxpanel is not visible during startup. This is the case as well if I start opera -web browser from command line. These processes exist in the process listings. Only the user interface is missing. Why are they missing?
The desktop has two desktops and neither of them has these windows. The machine has two possible screens and only one should be in use from the xorg.conf. During the startup of lxpanel, these lines appear:
When the LXDE starts, a window opens stating "could not open file" or similar. It looks like if dbus or other socket file or similar is not found and this could be the reason why lxpanel is not visible?
I'm starting LXDE with this line in .xinitrc
I tried slim -login manager but it as if connected both of these desktops somehow, the text could not be written and the mouse pointer did not move. The LXDE login manager would be nice. It can't be found from the ports or pkg collections. In the user group messages it has been evaluated that the FreeBSD version is difficult to install. xde at the moment is the only option left to try.
DISPLAY is set to. Starting with does not help. Creating the did not help. Where should I start looking?
I'm experiencing problems with applications because of dirty exits from the desktop. Applications leave .lock -files in directories marked with a dot in the home directory. For example libreoffice is not visible if the lockfile exists before startup. What lock file should I remove to use lxpanel and/or where is the actual problem?
lxamp
Code: Select all
$ pkg info lxde-meta
lxde-meta-1.0_8
