This is not a bug in VL 7, but for what its worth, I could not get the 4pane file manager in the repositories to work. However the slackware version on the 4pane site works fine in 7.0. http://www.4pane.co.uk/Download.htm |

I can't mount a flash drive as user. I have to be root to do it. This is very inconvenient. This is happening on both my Sempron desktop and HP laptop.

On both Sempron desktop and HP laptop, when I log out the only option is Log Out and restart and shutdown are grayed out. I don't like that!

This isn't an installation from the LiveCD is it? It sounds like a DBus related problem(especially in conjunction with your usb mouting), and I recall DBus problems popping up on Live quite a bit. |

Hmmm. Tried the USB thing and ran into the same issue as GG.
However, I do have the normal options for logging out and shutting down. And I installed via the ISO, not the Live CD.

Is your user in the "plugdev" group? This used to be required for usb mounting, but I'm not sure about these days. |

Did some more checking on this one. Seems to be an issue with my notebook and which USB port I use. If I unplug the mouse transceiver and plug in the flash stick, the volume is mounted. If I unplug the USB power to the cooler and plug the stick in there, it fails to recognize the stick.
Going to have to fiddle with things to figure out why it's not recognizing that particular port.

No, it's from the Gold ISO, not the Live CD. If I recall correctly, I did have all the shutdown, log out, reboot options when I first installed, but no longer. I never got all of them on the laptop. I wonder if an update might have affected something. I'll do more experimenting with the USB flash drives. --GrannyGeek |

I boot with Runlevel 2, so I do wind up at a console for logging in. I use startx to start X. --GrannyGeek |

Can you boot to Runlevel 4 and login from GDM just to confirm that everything works that way? I think consolekit is not working there, I thought we had this fixed at one point. Thanks, Uelsk8s |

--GrannyGeek Granny think I found the fix. Open up thunar then in view select show hidden files.......then find your users .xinitrc file (notice the dot) you will see a line in there like this "exec ck-launch-session startxfce4" without the quotes. Please change to "exec startxfce4" again with out the quotes. Log out try startx again things should be back to normal. Seems we did not know the xfce4 developers had fixed this issue in the startxfce4 script from an earlier version that we fixed with the ck-launch-session thing. Hope that works for you! Cheers, Vec |

Thanks, Vec! I tried the fix on my laptop and it seems to have worked. If I have enough energy tomorrow, I'll fix the desktop, too.
