    leetnoob: you shouldn't see that text once LXDE starts. It should be a wallpaper.

    If you are updating with apt-get, always remember to use --no-install-recommends (which is the same as unchecking "consider recommended packages as dependencies")

    I think the main problem is if us mere mortals use synaptic and enable lots of repositories synaptic always ticks "prefer higher version" which seems to be causing most of the reboot problems as higher is not always more stable i guess.

    wrt the background wallpaper I had to go into pcman file manager and enable "manage desktop" in preferences, but it puts a "my documents" folder on the desktop which i don't want. I was wondering if there's a workaroud like me replacing the image which has the ctrl-back image.

    leetnoob: I put that message there using habak, you can use it to put an image there instead. I think it is something like
    Code:
    habak -hi /path/to/image.jpg
    EDIT: You can randomly choose a wallpaper from the 800x480 selection I include with Easy Debian by issuing the following command:

    Code:
    habak -hi /usr/share/wallpapers/

    bizarre... it doesn't work it always reverts to the ctrl-back image when i restart. it works in the session only. i've even used sudo.. I'll poke around and see why.

    Yes it will revert each time; you have to set it each time you start, as part of your startup script. You could modify the appropriate line in (Maemo's) /usr/bin/debian-lxde (the startup script) to replace that message with a wallpaper instead.

    My turn to ask a silly question: My keyboard is acting strange in LXDE, the blue function key is acting like Ctrl and Ctrl is dead. What have I messed up?

    ok.. got it working.

    i edited /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart.sh and put the habak command in at the end, but i also had to change the session window manager from openbox-lxde to openbox-session

    leetnoob: why not put it in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart instead?

    yes I'll try that now the previous change didn't go so well !

    wrt to your keyboard problem i coincidently had something like this a few nights ago and i just restored a backup debian.ext2 and that fixed it...

    I posted this in another thread, but it probably belongs here? I'm have an install/version question. Sorry if I made a mistake with the placement of this question.
