ChristianI don't know what went wrong on this Linux Mint 22.1 XFCE installation, but the Mint theme seems to have broken. I tried replacing ~/.config/xfce4 with working one from a VM and also tried "sudo apt install --reinstall mint-meta-xfce". That sometimes brought the Mint theme temporarily back, but after a reboot, it looks broken again. 🤷‍♀️ <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mint</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xfce</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/xfce4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xfce4</a>

patproHello <a href="https://social.patpro.net/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freebsd</a> users, I'm facing a very odd problem on my freebsd 14 desktop running <a href="https://social.patpro.net/tags/xfce4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xfce4</a> : randomly the desktop will become unresponsive for up to few minutes, often the mouse cursor is fully responsive but nothing else will move. Sometimes even the cursor is stuck. It does not seem to be heat-related even though temp of CPU, GPU and storage rise a lot : I've used a browser benchmark to load the GUI, I've got record-breacking temps but GUI remained fully responsive. I'm a bit lost, I don't know where to look next. What system metrics should I track ? What tests could I try, taking into account I can't switch OS, nor shut down or reboot too often as this freebsd PC is my internet gateway too.

patproHello, (feel free to reply here or on <a href="https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/streamlined-unified-user-experience-with-keyboard-shortcuts.97909/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/streamlined-unified-user-experience-with-keyboard-shortcuts.97909/</a> ) As a long-time Mac user I have strong habits with a bunch of keyboard shortcuts. My new FreeBSD system is quite powerful and the XFCE desktop I’ve setup has started growing on me, even though macOS is my daily driver. I’m using a Keychron Q11, BÉPO layout (<a href="https://www.patpro.net/cafesale/bepo2025.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.patpro.net/cafesale/bepo2025.jpg</a>) with some custom key bindings programmed in the keyboard firmware (VIA): - the "print" key is mapped to a macOS "screen shot region" shortcut (super-shift-4) - left knob is mapped to macOS combos to zoom out / zoom in / reset zoom - right knob is mapped to generic (?) combos to Vol up / Vol down / Mute I’m also relying on a second keyboard layer: pressing left or right "Fn" key activate the second layer that gives me access to a pseudo-numpad and media keys (<a href="https://www.patpro.net/cafesale/2layer2025.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.patpro.net/cafesale/2layer2025.jpg</a>). XFCE customisation is still a work in progress but I’ve managed to setup some keyboard shortcuts like using the print key (super-shift-4) to trigger xfce-screenshooter -r. Works great. Unfortunately I’m unable to create keyboard shortcuts that use the second layer: pressing "Fn" + "F8" should be recognised as Play/Stop, "Fn" + "F9" as Next, etc. but it looks like it’s not detected at all. I’ve used xev without success so far. It’s like the second layer is not here. So my questions are: - if I can make those media keys work (with your help), will they work in all apps (fooyin, firefox, VLC…) or will I face a YMMV situation depending on developers’ choices? - how can I dig deeper to analyse and solve that problem?

It can be changed in OpenBSD with usermod -c "Full Name" userMy last name contains a German umlaut and I was wondering for weeks now why xfce displays it on the panel with a "?" in a solid caret instead of the umlaut.
