Today in the morning, after updating my system (Debian Testing) and restart it, when I entered my session Xfce I was surprised to see that the Window Manager (xfwm) Neither the pointer nor the panel elements were shown .. WTF?
After delete, save and restore settings He was determined to reinstall, as he was short on time and did not know what packages he had installed that could cause such a mess. But before that, I decided to keep looking and found the solution. All we have to do is delete a folder:
rm -Rv ~/.cache/sessions/
I restarted my session and voila!
37 comments, leave yours
Tremendous this case, that's how it happened to me in Zenwalk .. and to think that even a script made me so that when I started the system it would clear the cache.

This is the super Debian that never fails
That's right, Super Debian never fails .. 😛
¬¬ ... yes yes of course ...
Arch with all that you criticize him, does not fail for "love of art", that is, if the system collapses it is only because the idiot who controls it (in some cases myself HAHA) does not do things as he should.
Whereas your much adored Debian, just logging out and then logging back in crashes LOL !!!
One question: Do you use stable or testing repositories in Arch?
Stable, I don't trust testing
I understand that you are using LXDE, if so could you give me some reference regarding use and performance? I have time trying to decide to use it, especially considering the high consumption, and constantly increasing, of Gnome3 and KDE. I appreciate any recommendation in this regard.
I don't have any monitor to check all that but look at this image from my desktop:
http://foro-elblogdejabba.foroactivo.com/t97-muestra-tu-escritorio-lxde
The box with the green graph in the right corner is something like a very simple monitor that indicates the consumption of resources.
With Firefox open, only the consumption is minimal, it hardly leaves the minimum, with YouTube at most you can go to half or something more.
The computer I use has 512mb of ram and 1.27 Ghz of processor if I remember correctly.
One thing, it is a very bare environment, it barely has a file browser, the terminal and little else.
As for Openbox (since it is the window manager that it uses) it is quite shabby aesthetically, but we can always download a theme.
Anyway, I don't like to distort a lot but hey, I couldn't contact in any way, a blog forum or something similar would be fine over time for these things
I used OpenBox for a long time and once you get it up to speed, it is truly beautiful. I like LXDE, but it's too simple for my taste, and trust me, I've managed to tweak it quite a bit. It is an excellent option if we are not very demanding.
Since when do you use LXDE ?. Weren't you KDEro later? 😀
Since KDE 4.7 came out, the mouse was stuck and I said "it's over"
What do you mean, "got stuck"? Explain a little better that now I have a doubt hehe ...
I was going like in slow motion, moving the mouse and the pointer moving after a while
Uff no idea, if you used Ubuntu it would tell you something like "change distro" or something like that ... HAHAHAHA nah it's fucking HAHA.
Well, I had told you about this error, and it happened to me yesterday 😀 and a quick solution was to delete the user, delete the home of my user and recreate it, a little clumsy but functional and fast 😀
I will try this tips when I run out of Window Manager (xfwm) again
regards
PS: the associated error that xfwm gave me said something like the following lines:
(xfwm4: 2996): xfwm4-CRITICAL **: Xfconf could not be initialized
(xfwm4: 2996): xfwm4-WARNING **: Missing data from default files
Well, deleting the entire user is something a bit beast hahaha. You already know how to do it even easier .. 😀
Thanks Courage, your desktop looks really nice, I'm tempted to give it a try, it looks very interesting.
Hi. Speaking of updates with LMDE, I have a problem: I had Firefox 7 but it did not update me to 8. I decided to delete it and reinstall it (hoping it would work, obviously), but what a surprise: it went back to version 5! I don't know how to update it. The last time I followed a tutorial (from another blog) downloading the .tar file and messing with the / opt folder, I muddled it (was wrong) and screwed up Firefox. I had to reinstall the entire OS to fix the bug (if that's correct). Any ideas to fix this problem?
0_o Did you have to reinstall an entire OS to have Firefox in its latest version? But if it wasn't necessary. As you said right, just replace the folder / opt / firefox with the one that comes in the tar.gz. Here is how to do it.
Yes, that was over a month ago. A whole story. Thank you. 😉
Thank you very much for the solution, something similar was happening to me; the windows were visible without the title bar or buttons to minimize, maximize, etc. It also appeared right in the upper left corner, on the panel, and it did not appear with the transparency that I put on it. What chaos and what a simple solution. A greeting!
Thank you, for those of us who started to move from windows, these contributions help us a lot.
regards
Thousand Thanks
SPECTACULAR !!!!!!! THANK YOU, LOCOO !!
😀
You saved me!!!! I owe you a beer, thank you very much !!! 😀
Very good contribution, I had already installed another desk, because I thought I had petaquido Xfce ...
Thanks a lot…
Total boss you prevented me from uninstalling or worse, you really deserve a prize haha master !!!
Thank you!! It worked perfectly for me, really great.
Thanks a lot. You have taken away a good headache
Fantastic!!!!. Thank you very much man. I was breaking into pictures. I use Xubuntu 14.04 and from one moment to another the buttons to maximize, minimize and close had disappeared, as well as the bar at the top of the windows. I can't complain because I'm using free software, but sometimes you feel like you prefer to pay for options that don't screw your life up for these things, especially ordinary users like me.
Thank you very much, my problem was solved.
Very functional I had that problem in arch and it was perfect 😉
Thank you
It had the super crazy graphical environment in mint Xfce.
Nothing worked without xD commands
Thank you very much, it worked great. My debian jessie lost the window frames and they were recovered with that command and a reboot :)
Thanks it worked
Much appreciated, why is this error?
Thank you very much!!
Fixed my problem on Kali Linux
