Let me start with the summary of the problems: 1- lxde in jaunty can not find internet, while hardy has no problem. 2- lxde in jaunty can not mount the other partitions, while hardy has no problem 3- Can not get the original menu back while right-click on desktop
------ a bit more detail description------------ I have installed LXDE in 3 of the machines I use on regular basis. The first one (my home pc) is a CeleronD, 512MB-RAM machine runs on ubuntu 8.04. lxde ran smoothly here. For installation, I followed the instructions provided in this page: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/lxde-lightweight-x11-desktop-environment-for-ubuntu.html lxde is installed in another machine using synaptic in a machine (core2duo, 1GB-RAM) with ubuntu 9.04. The problem is with internet and partition mounting. * Firefox seems to be offline and could not browse even when I changed it to online .... seems that it can not detect network. But just after log-out of lxde and log-in to gnome desktop, internet seems OK. * PCMan File Manager shows my other partitions (ntfs). But when I try to mount them, there is an error message. Even the message pop-up does not show any message! The third machine (core2duo, 2GB-RAM, ubuntu 9.04 is the only OS) have ubuntu repo's blocked by the system admin(!!). So I copied the files from the second machines \var\cache\apt\archives and took them here. Though it missed two dependency files which I have downloaded later from http://packages.ubuntu.com (it is not blocked!!), and could install lxde. But it had the same problem with internet; and similarly just logging-into gnome have no problem. Mounting problem seems to be the same. I am providing you a list of files that I have installed. numbering indicates the dependency-tree, as I had faced: --------files installed---------- 1. lxde 1.1 gpicview 1.2 leafpad 1.3 xarchiver 1.4 lxterminal 1.5 lxappearance 1.6 lxrandr 1.7 obconf 1.8 lxde-core 1.8.1 pcmanfm 1.8.2 lxpanel 1.8.3 xscreensaver 1.8.4 lxsession-lite 1.8.5 lxde-common 1.8.5.1 lxde-settings-daemon 1.8.6 openbox 1.8.6.1 libobparser21 1.8.6.2 libobrender21 2. openbox-themes -------end of files installed----------- Now the 3rd problem (probably a silly one!) when the lxde desktop is right-clicked, it shows a popup menu which provides options: icons>; paste; create new>; desktop settings. When selecting the "desktop settings" there opens a new window with 3 tabs. In the middle tab there is a option: "show menus provided by WM when desktop is clicked". In one of the jaunty machines I have checked that option and after that while right click on desktop a new lxde menu appears. This new menu is not of much use to me. But I can not get back to the previos (originally provided) menu. Any idea how to disable this option and get back the original menu? Regards, -- ============================== Miah M.
