Re: Xfce 4 + LXDM problem

This should be better asked in the lightdm forum. Anyway, what is the content of ~/.xsession, ~/.xinitrc and /etc/lightdm.conf files? In /usr/share/xsessions there should be file called lightdm-xsession.desktop that defines the window manager system wide. Check it content especially the exec line.

terminal emulator compatible with Ecma-48

Hello. I know that most terminal emulators support most VT100 escape sequences, which are based on ecma-48, but as far as I know, they are not able to support the full standard. By example, they only support 7 bit sequences, and so CSI is 0x1B5B only, were ecma-48 says it can be 0x9B too. It

Xfce 4 + LXDM problem

I installed LXDM. I could not get it to run it as the default display manager (yes, I had /usr/sbin/lxdm in /etc/X11/default-display-manager), I had to login and run it from tty. I managed to fix that by adding lxdm before exit 0 in rc.local, now my only problem is after I log in through lxdm it tr

Re: Wheezy issue with broadcom 5720 nic on new dell PowerEdge R720

I have encountered exactly the same problem. Got four new Dell servers (2xR820, 2xR620), all with Broadcom 5720. I have installed Wheezy on all of them, including Xen. But only on two of them, I have installed firmware-linux-nonfree and only on ONE of them (namely R820), the NIC behaves like Casper

HI, I was hoping someone can explain the difference between XEN kernel installed with the XEN package and the wheezy RC1 kernel ? I was under the impressions, from Ian Campell's presentation, that XEN DomU was native in the wheezy kernel.. Ian's presentation: http://penta.debconf.org/dc12_schedu
