re icons not found
I had this problem some time ago when xfe passed the versioin 1.0 mark...
I quote from an old email
"
The icon theme path is still set to the default in
this case
/usr/share/xfe/icons/xfe-theme
You have to change the icon path to
/usr/local/share/xfe/icons/xfe-theme
"
Check in the preferences that icons dir is actually where they are.
Different linux distributions sometimes put them somewhere else.

Hello,
i'm trying to use XFE as file manger in my puppy instead of Rox.
So I installed it, then i worked on .jwmrc file to change commands' menu.
But now i want to config XFE to open my icon on the desktop (Home...) and the icons of the mounted device.
How can I config it? because is still Rox opening the mounted device and my Home directory.
Thanx guys

To make Xfe the Puppy default file explorer...
Xfe will then automatically run and display the contents of a partition listed on the desktop, when you click to mount.
See post number 111 on page #5 of my Puppy Linux thread at the PC-Guide forums.
Lots of Puppy Linux goodies listed in that thread.
Or is post #105 better?
Forgotten which worked best.

i edited the file /usr/local/bin/drive_all, but for the mounted icons in desktop is the same....rox still work.
I check in the file drive_all the command to change... in terminal and it works; so i think that the comands in edited file are right. but still rox works..
I check in the file drive_all the command to change...
Code: Select all
exec xfe -x /mnt/sdbx

Hmmm, I'm no Puppy expert.
However, I tried following the above instructions by editing /usr/local/bin/drive_all so as to change all examples [2] of pcmanfm to xfe, and it worked.
Now when I click on any partition on the desktop, Xfe opens and displays the contents of that partition.
2. How about trying the alternative method given above?
i.e. Post #111.

You need to refresh the icons. Or just replace the drive icon scripts (which are all the same.) "/root/.pup_event/drive_<DRIVE>/AppRun" with "/usr/local/bin/drive_all".

Changed to this version of Xfe in Dpup-009, because the previous Xfe [Xfe-1.19.2.pet] wouldn't run due to missing the dependency = libFOX-1.6.so.0
But it has a peculiar behaviour as follows:
The title bar is ALWAYS off the top of the screen at the beginning of each new time I run it.
Makes no difference if I rearrange it in a nice location.
Any way to fix this?

Probably in the same category as the question above, but...
is it possible to set the default window size in XFE? I've been though all the gui preferences and it doesn't seem to include anything for it. It's just kind of annoying having it open full screen all the time.
Other than that, this thing kicks butt compared to ROX.

See this bug when using Xfe in Lupu-520.
I'm wondering if I need to edit /root/.config/xfe/xferc
See...
"need to edit /root/.config/xfe/xferc to have it automatically open with the correct programs (default* abiword, gnumeric etc... vs. openoffice progs) ... if someone does this please post the gzipped /root/.config/xfe/xferc and I will repackage it"

XFE is old fashioned
XFE is old fashioned, but very powerfull. anybody to dress it with a pretty tuning ? (see EmelFM)
