I don’t know if it was a joke but…
ClearLinux Project sound a little bit fascist
It’s not about fascism. The team has been limited in what they are able to do. The goals of this distro are far different from many others, and supporting a wide array of desktop use cases and user-specific/user-centric scenarios is not part of that. CL is a lab. A stateless, optimized lab. Geared mostly towards development and cloud workloads. And when I say development I don’t mean providing developers with a slick zero config ui and array of gui tools of their choice. It means an environment in which software can be tested cleanly, efficiently and without dependency hell. It doesn’t only work on Intel platforms, no but it is maintained by Intel.
thank for your answer, maybe my word was strong, obviously having a focus is the key to reach a goal.
I use xfce i find it better then gnome .
The Problem is i Have the same problems with the xfce desktop.
if i can not go out i use an one botton for shutdown now and reboot for restart the session or systemctl power off.
It is not so good that all desktops in the Bundle . Gnome is not for me and also for other user.
I love a smal desktop and KDE will not good work i Have problems that KDE stop the PC and i can not work i must new start the PC.
and gnome is not my . i user gnome for the settings . in xfce you can not install in settings printers and no new user can you add in the xfce desktop settings.
and the gnome desktop is the foundation of xfce4 .
sorry for my english i am a german user
I will work with Clear linux im not a developer for Linux
have fun Juergen
Clear linux is good for me.
maybe intel can do something for Xfce after all
ps: i have installed Budgie i can see it in GDK it works not( im working on it) .
I’ve been running XFCE4 on Clear for a few months now and also had the logout problem after install. I think it’s related to the session manager’s inability to save the current session during the log out process.
I believe mine was caused by some missing files in ~/.cache/sessions, or it had files with incorrect permissions. I had to do lots of fix/tweaks after fresh install so I can’t remember the exact fix, but I think after creating the ~/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-[hostname]:0 file manually I was able to log out.
In this Folder [~/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-[hostname]:0] I have no file.
can you type what is in your file. It is an empty file ?
In the picture is my problem with power off and logout button in xfce.
my user language is German.
The problem shown by your screenshot was exactly the one I had.
~/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-[hostname]:0 is the file you need to create. I believe I did the following to solve the logout problem:
touch ~/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-[hostname]:0
chmod 644 ~/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-[hostname]:0
Replace [hostname] by your machine’s actual hostname. Give it a try.
I need to get rid of Nautilus and install a file manager that works like Thunar. I have too many files to deal with a poorly written File Manager whose main command is “remove file manager from Desktop”. Linuxconfig.org had an article on installing xfce on Ubuntu 20.0.4 but it failed.
Unfortunately, if you want Thunar, you’ll have to install XFCE (I have a thread you can reference). How about pcmanfm?
Thanks
Actually I like XFCE and have no problems with it. I think I have a version of xfce installed now. I still need to upgrade my other 2 Linux computers. I’ll keep Thunar rather than going to something I don’t know such as pcmanfm. At least Thunar works.
How did you install XFCE? It already comes with Thunar. Did you install XFCE over gnome or just a clean XFCE installation like in my thread?
Server ISO + XFCE, KDE Plasma, Gnome, etc - General Discussion - Clear Linux OS Forum
Yes, XFCE is better for me because of onscreen keyboard, which DO NOT covers the half of the screen on my notebook!
