xfce

After a gap of almost 5 years, I came back to my favourite OS. Yesterday, I downloaded, and installed 13.2 stable version on my desktop. I installed it alongside Windows, on a 50g partition with traditional split file system partitions (per this chapter in handbook) -freebsd-ufs 2GB /...

Today when I booted and logged in and ran "startxfce4", I got a broken XFCE desktop session, where windows had no borders or titles, no keyboard focus, etc. This kind of problem was known to me, and can otherwise be reproduced, by eg. setting the LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH environment variable to the...

I installed FreeBSD 13.1 on VMware ESXi 6.7. Then I installed Xfce. The problem is that I can't move the cursor. The mouse buttons and mouse wheel are working.

I installed xfce from ports with portmaster and the desktop shows black. Does anybody know why? I installed vim, okular, chomium and then xfce successfully but this happened. I have nvidia drivers installed as well. When I installed okular, firefox stopped working. So I installed chromium to...

Hello, I've already posted here about this problem, but I thought I'd make another post in a different category since I don't think it's a problem with peripherals; rather, it is a problem with the refactored drm-kmod-and-friends ports. I hope that's allright! ☺️ I am on a laptop, specifically...

Hello to all I tried to install display manager "xfce" I installed it according to the tutorial below https://unixcop.com/how-to-install-xfce-in-freebsd-13/ In short, I did this: $freebsd-update fetch $freebsd-update install $pkg install -y xorg $pkg install slim $pkg install xfce I edited...

After an abrupt power disruption, freebsd 13.0 got into an xfce login loop; When I tried to select a different hard drive from BIOS with Ubuntu, the boot process went into disk 0, disk 1, disk 2 selection process which fell back to the same freebsd nvme with the login loop issue. I have also...

Hi all! I've been stuck for hours trying to find how to solve this problem. I installed FreeBSD on a VM with VirtualBox (Version 6.1.32) on a Mac with an Intel Core i5 I carefully followed this tutorial ...

Hi guys, I have some doubts about this passage of the handbook: 1) Should this command execute as admin? 2) This command populates the file this way: $ cat .xinitrc . /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc If I run startx from the TTY the session runs... 3) I do not understand why... There is...

sysutils/gkrellm2 Is there an easy method to keep the window on top? (I can't find an answer elsewhere.) A method that uses a GUI. Here's the context menu of gkrellm: I have it on top in KDE Plasma. Can't tell how to do it with Xfce. Thanks

I'm now experiencing a strange problem of the "mouse pointer becoming unclickable" inside a bhyve VM. Host OS: FreeBSD 13 bhyve command: (partial) -s 29,fbuf,tcp=192.168.1.72:15900,w=1200,h=1000 \ -s 31,lpc \...

I'm using KDE with the drm-kmod graphics driver and just experienced a hang issue. I'm just wondering if I switch over to Xfce, would it work without this drm-kmod driver? My gut feeling is it would require the same hardware drivers. But however, I remember that many years ago things were much...

I'm trying to run FreeBSD with KDE or Xfce inside a bhyve virtual machine. The bhyve command executed to start the VM has "-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=800,h=600 -s 30,xhci,tablet" included. From within the VM, I tried to execute "startx" and I'm hit with the following error: (EE) Cannot run...

I'm trying to get KDE up and running on FreeBSD 13 on a laptop PC. I could not even configure Xorg to run and it seems like the hardware cannot be recognized. So, I downloaded GhostBSD (both the default MATE and Xfce versions) and it works out of the box. I am now trying to figure out what...

Hello guys, I have some problem with installing XFCE. I installed all programs for XFCE, but its doesnt work. How fix it?

Hi, My Slim + XFCE configuration causes following issue: First login is fast, everything is fine, shutdown/reboot buttons are available. On re-log it takes about one minute (timeout?) until the desktop is shown. /var/log/slim.log says: slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting...

I am running FreeBSD as a guest OS in VirtualBox on a Windows 10 host. I installed the XFCE desktop environment, but unfortunately I cannot put it on full screen mode, its highest resolution that I can set is 1024x768. So based on this article I installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions on the...

Hey guys. I hope everyone is staying safe with COVID-19. Here's hoping it will go to /dev/null soon... So, anyway, as the title of this post says, I'm having trouble getting X to start (XFCE4 works fine when it manages to load properly with Xorg). I know things are working fine because the text...

This week was my 3rd try of using FreeBSD (as desktop system). Today I am nearly at the point where I give up. I already tested FreeBSD for a longer time some months ago (and another time about 1-2 years ago). Now I use FreeBSD 12.1 (-RELEASE). The 2 times when I used FreeBSD I had the exact...
