@mcdagan : I was just replying to that thread :D

Maybe this works: First do everything according to your taste (also try ARandR from Menu), when all are just as you wanted: ARandR => save the current situation as a .sh file, then put it in Autostart. i.e. viewtopic.php?p=646697#p646697

(The created file by ARandR is already executable, so, no need to chmod +x etc... )

Hi Huckelberry. I used ARandR but when I try to apply the configuration I get the below error:

XRandR failed: XRandR returned error code 1: b'xrandr: cannot find crtc for output DP-1-3\n'

In Thunar where you want to make your Folders or files, right click and open a Terminal.

In the Terminal enter this:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /top-level/path/to/files

Replace all of this /top-level/path/to/files with your path that is shown at the top of Thunar, it should look something like this which is my Video partition:

/media/towwire/Video/

This changes the read/write permissions from root to user.

If you want to have it mounted when you start your computer then that means either editing "fstab" or using "Disk Manager

or using "Disk Manager

Unfortunately that program isn't there anymore. It is being worked on, I hear, but.. hopefully it will come back.

When I have changed things in the panel and I select in tweak to restore the default I am still (like in B2) left with no panel at all. I have to reboot (logout login, wager works too) and then it shows up.

Restore backup panel from tweak DOES work. It takes a number of seconds, I was thinking it was a goner and then as I was about to hit the logout button it suddenly popped up. Maybe that was the programmed panel restart that kicked in?

I've been seeing that in the Xfce rc1. (and before)

Ctrl-Alt-BkSp brings the panel back {I think...}.
I didn't think to wait a few seconds; I'll try that if it repeats. Thanks @Eadwine Rose.
It's a nuisance. Hopefully a fix can be found.

This morning I found that overnight, my keyboard layout - which usually is German - had been changed back to US. I had to manually change this back to German, then reboot for the change to take effect. This is on desktop in Virtualbox. Not sure what was going on there - I had not shut down the system, nor touched anything overnight, due to being asleep :-)

Installed and used it for a few days. Except for not being able to make it look how I wanted, everything worked OK. I will not be moving to MX21.
