I know that there is an oddity/bug in XFCE that the keyboard stops
functioning if you hold down one of the shift keys for too long.
But this seems to be something very differt.
If anyone has experienced this problem and resolved it, please share
your solution.
Otherwise, it's into the Gnome 3 world.
Sounds like (as several other folks have mentioned) xfwm4 died.
If you can get to a terminal, do:
xfwm4 --replace &
If you cannot, you can try clearing your session out and logging in
again:
rm ~/.cache/sessions/xfce4-sessions*
Note that this will clear out things like what applications you had
running, etc.
Hope that helps.
Much thanks for this and similar replies. It looks as though this is the
course to take in order to correct this issue.
I have two machines where I have been using the Xfce desktop, a Dell
laptop (Inspiron 600m) and a home-built 64-bit dual-core.
When I insert a USB flash drive on the 64-bit machine, an icon shows up on
the desktop. Right-clicking on the icon shows a menu that allows me to
mount the drive.
On the i386 laptop, no icons appear when a USB flash drive is inserted. A
file browser window is opened; then clicking on the USB drive gets the
drive mounted.
Is there some place in the settings to make the behavior of the i386 more
like that of the x64?
Go to "Applications Menu->Settings->Removable Drives and Media" and
look at the "Storage" tab. Make sure both machines have the same
options set up. You can have drives automount, browse, etc. Odds are
you have differences between the machines.
