| cc77 | Hi, when I tried lubuntu 22.04 livecd on old pc (pentium g630 with 4gb ram) the desktop loads but the left mouse button doesn´t work. | 01:22 |
|---|---|---|
| cc77 | I can right click on desktop icons and taskbar icons and then left click and it works but directly clicking on icon or start button doesn´t do anything. | 01:23 |
| cc77 | Even changed mouse, thought it might be that. | 01:23 |
| cc77 | I loaded knoppix livecd, which uses also lxde I think and there it works fine. | 01:23 |
| cc77 | Just tried to be sure and loaded the livecd in virtualbox vm and there it works fine. | 01:24 |
| cc77 | What could it be? | 01:24 |
| cc77 | I also booted in safemode and still no left click on desktop | 01:24 |
| cc77 | Maybe hardware is to old for lubuntu 22.04? I think it´s from 2011 - 2012 | 01:30 |
| kc2bez[m] | That isn't really old hardware. | 01:33 |
| kc2bez[m] | It does look like it could be a kernel (therefore driver) issue. The latest version of Knoppix I see has a 5.3 kernel (that is quite old). | 01:35 |
| kc2bez[m] | Also Knoppix uses lxde (as you noted) and Lubuntu uses LXQt. | 01:35 |
| cc77 | oh lxde being the gtk version? | 01:40 |
| kc2bez[m] | LXQt was re-written based on lxde long ago. At this point they are quite different and lxde isn't really actively developed. | 01:42 |
| cc77 | ok | 01:42 |
| cc77 | thanks | 01:42 |
| kc2bez[m] | Sure, I would try another Ubuntu flavor perhaps to rule out the desktop environment. Maybe Kubuntu. | 01:44 |
| cc77 | That´s a good idea, I will try that | 01:46 |
| kc2bez[m] | Let us know either way if you can. | 01:47 |
| cc77 | ok, but it will be next week thursday, then I will be at location again with old pc´s | 02:36 |
| macksting | I have two different games in my Start menu that have the same name in my Games folder. How do I change one of them? I've asked a few times and I wonder if I'm asking incorrectly, or if there's some information I should provide to help. | 21:52 |
| tomreyn | macksting: maybe others were puzzled by this question because there cannot be two objects (such as directories or files) in a directory which have the exact same name. | 22:48 |
| tomreyn | what shows up in your menu is probably stored in either you users' ~/.local/share/applications/ or in the global (must work as root) /usr/share/applications/ | 22:51 |
| tomreyn | these .desktop files, which are, in essence, (editable) text files, point to where the actual applications are. If you will rename the actual applications (don't do this for packaged software, i.e. software outside of your home directory), then you will also need to edit these .desktop files to point to their new names. | 22:53 |
