Hi,
I was going to try xfce but I can't find the proper rpm to get the
install started. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
tia,
Bill W.
Go to SoS http://seerofsouls.com/rpm2006.html and add the Xfce urpmi
source, then use urpmi or rpmdrake (whichever you prefer) to install
whichever bits of Xfce you want.
Hi Margot,
Thanks for that. I managed to update my sources and install xfce.
When I log in from the opening Mandriva screen, I get the cute mouse and hour
glass but then just a blank Mandriva penguin looking to the stars and no
icons. There is no right click action either. I have to ctrl - alt -
backspace to get back to my login.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill W.
Well, "no icons" is exactly what you SHOULD get with Xfce, so that's not
a problem, but the lack of a right-click menu suggests that you have
missed installing some packages.
Can you still access whatever desktop you were using before? (KDE?
Gnome?) If you can, have a look in rpmdrake, check which Xfce packages
are installed, and send me a list - I'll compare your list with what
I've got, and let you know what's missing.
