Hi, on Antix 16.1 with Rox-Fluxbox, I used the control center to enlarge my font size (dpi), two things were effected: first, Fluxbox itself was enlarged, the panel, the menu, all of Fluxbox components, second, GTK was enlarged too, this all beautiful, but once I reboot, the first effect is gone! Fluxbox is back to normal, while the second effect remains.

as for Palemoon: Palemoon doesn't work after installation, it works for the first time exclusively, but then it refuses with a msgbox that says"Your Pale Moon profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible"

hope someone answers.
respectfully

Palemoon doesn't work after installation,
Can you explain exactly how you installed it?

Sounds like your Pale Moon profile somehow got owned by root. Did you launch Pale Moon with sudo? To regain your ownership run the following command in the terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R <user>:<group>"$HOME/.moonchild productions"
where <user> has to be replaced by your user name and <group> by your group name (which should be the same as your user name).

It says"bash: abdorhman: No such file or directory" __{{emoticon}}__
as for how I installed it, I tried both, the official Antix repo and the Debian PPA
please know that it works fine when launching it using"sudo palemoon" __{{emoticon}}__

I wanna add that sound stopped working on Firefox, but works fine on Palemoon!

Sorry, the angle brackets were not meant to be included. __{{emoticon}}__ Run the command like this:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R abdorhman:abdorhman"$HOME/.moonchild productions"
EDIT: I just found that one get's the same error message when Pale Moon's cache has wrong permissions. So you might also try:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R abdorhman:abdorhman"/$HOME/.cache/moonchild productions"

ok, I'm seeing this on intitial login too. icewm and fluxbox both exhibit this behavior. jwm appears to be OK.

restarting the wm's from the menu seems to clear up the issue. In fluxbox's case ..... MENU > Fluxbox settings > restart

So does selecting a desktop from the Other Desktops menu. and restarting the session from the logout menu.

I'm not sure why on initial login the icewm and fluxbox aren't sourcing the dpi setting.

incidentally, the live system has the same issue, and we set the dpi in an additional location on the live right from the display manager (slim login).
