Paul Braun

I'm afraid that deleting Cairo Dock has caused something vital to be deleted. The option 11 which is listed when I've tried to reinstall xfce4 is callled Terminal, as you should know. There are no graphics applications that make me feel I can create anzthing with them. Although Steam and Lutris are both pre installed, I couldnt actually install any games I ttried to intall, before the GUI stopped worrking. The situation is that as Salient OS isn't very popular and I can only get help on here instead...

I've already told you that this happened just because I uninstalled Cairo Dock. There is also a log file somewhere. Please will you tell me where is is so I can find it from within Linux Mint? Also, what's the problem with option 11 of xfce4? If I have to reinstall Salient OS to fix this, then I may as well just delete it instead. Unfortunately, although I read that Salient OS was supposed to be geared towards users creating things, as well as playing games, I haven't found any software that's encouraged...

I'm afraid that hasn't done much good! After typing the command, there's a list of numbered options. Pressing ENTER selects them all, then I get a list of error file not found messages. After that, I typed each of the options in turn. I found that option 11 doesn't work. After starting with startx I've now got a very basic xfce desktop which can't run any programs except the file manager. What can I do now?

GUI disappeared!

Unfortunately, when I launch K3b to try and burn an ISO to a DVD, it immediately lists 4 problems about things which are missing! These are cdrecord, cdrdao, growisofs, and dvd+rw-format. Why haven't these things been automatically installed? How should I install them? This has never happened to me with K3b on other Linux distros before.

I've been having what sounds like the same problem. While watching videos, either on a web page, or in Kodi, or perhaps in both, after a certain amount of time the screen locked without even a warning. I've just changed the settings as described here, so I hope that will work. Unfortunately, after changing them, my only option was Close, not Save, or even Apply, so I hope this works.

I've just managed to log in here again after a few days of not being able to! The problem was that I thought my user name was something different to what it actually is. My user name is actually paulb. In all posts here it's displayed as Paul Braun. In other Linux distro forums I've used it's paulbraun. That's what was causing the problem. This is why resetting the password didn't work. It was actually right in front of me on a login screen, above the user name box, but I didn't look!!

I'm afraid that, in spite of doing some password resets, I'm still unable to log in again! I can only reply via email. Why is this? I think it may be my user name. It appears here as "Paul Braun". I was trying to log in as "paulbraun" with the password, but that was "invalid". I tried to log in using my email address, which starts with "paulbraun", then the password but that was also "invalid". I tried the user name "Paul Braun" plus the password, but it said that spaces weren't allowed in user names!...
