I thought since I'm so used to using apt get etc on linux mint this would be nice to still be able to use. Is ...

It works on previous puppy distros did this with xenial and a few others. You just sometimes have to much around to get network and sound working. In one case I think I also needed the nvidia driver. Seems to work on this version too. I copied my save file to 3 or 4 different computers. Worked fine ...

Flash I did post there about this because I believed it was a bug anyone trying to use xfce with bionicpup64 8 would also experience. I have gone back to a previous savefile that did not have the session issues. The fix for this power down/pupshutdown issue IS easily fixable by following the advice ...

Also, I have some issue where sometimes xfce4 does start, but it seems to flash the jwm default desktop, background and icons first. Is there a fix to that issue? I think this stuff may all be related since no proper shutdown may not save the current session to start with next boot.

Shutting down with xfce

Running bionicpup 64 8.0 I install and use xfce and compiz from repos. When you use the pupshutdown menu from the xfce start menu, it starts, but when you press reboot or shutdown for example, the panels disappear then nothing happens.

I am using bionicpup64 8.0 iso
I believe I installed xfce using the ppm.

CLTR_ALT_BACKSPACE works, but shouldn't there be a way to fix this so pupshutdown manager works in xfce?

I thought I may be missing some xfce component, I will start there I guess.
