GParted doesn't run

  • As root, edit /usr/share/applications/gparted.desktop, and change:
Exec=gksudo /usr/sbin/gparted %f

into

Exec=gksu /usr/sbin/gparted %f

I messed up the user creation

  • So you can log in as root. Open a terminal and type:
adduser

Can't see any .pnd

  • Click on the green icon near the Xfce menu.

Still can't see any .pnd

  • Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local , and uncomment:
#modprobe ehci-hcd

into

modprobe ehci-hcd

  • Left-click anywhere on the center of the Xfce menu bar.
Panel-->Panel Preferences-->Items-->Battery Monitor

  • Launch Thunar (the file manager), and click on the "eject" icon.

  • Set your time/date correctly.

(14.0) Cursor moves strangely when i use the touchscreen

  • It's a bug, probably from GTK. I don't know how to fix it yet.

I created a new user, but he can't use .pnds

  • The SD card was mounted by the first user. Simply umount the card and mount it back while logged as the new user.
