Xfce Forum

Thanks a lot for your work! Xfce4 Screenshooter needs a rebuild too, as it ships a panel plugin.

Cheers,

Jérôme

Hi:

You do not have plans to launch the Lucid version? LMDE use and I can only use packages Lucid ...

Allow me to voice my gratitude as well Koshi. Your work is very much appreciated.

Well, followed your instructions and I had Xfce 4.8 running on my Kubuntu 10.10 32 bit box, for awhile.   Then for some strange reason XFWM4 just up & quit, as well as the Workspace manager plugin (it went from showing 4 workspaces to only one, no matter what number I picked).  No window decorations or anything.  Funny thing was, I could type into input boxes & leafpad fine, but not into a terminal window.  Went into KDE which still worked fine & used the apt-get install ppa-purge line you posted to remove everything and tried again.  Same problem even though I deleted the xfce4 folder in .config to force a new desktop.

Any ideas what happened?  I've removed it again, as well as every xfce4 related file using sudo dolphin so all that's left are the icons.

Just a note, the ppa's created by koshi are not officially supported by xubuntu.

Everybody is free to use it obviously, just saying...

nhtrader did as u said and all i think is ok. now what is the steps to use xfce ??
i  have booted and has still ubuntu desktop etc, and i am running on 4gb usbdrive so if i can remove ubuntuś things that i use with xfce it would be great. or if i dont want xfce how do i remove it again ?
best regards skodsamler denmark

I didn't have this problem b/c my machine was gnome free. My install was a xubuntu with MythTV loaded on to it.

As for your dual desktop environment, I'd guess you would have to log out of your gnome based session and log back in after selecting xfce. Again, I don't know how to change the startup sequence to make xfce your default desktop. Perhaps a post to the ubuntuforums.org in the "Desktop Environment"  or  "General Help" forum may help.
