If you are using Virtual Box, you can go into the Settings - Network for the virtual Machine and set the Network as Not Attached which should do the trick.

Not sure whether this points to 4.12 being at fault but I have loaded an old xfce 4.10 and the link opening between my email and Firefox works as required, also tried Iceweasel and that also opens the links correctly. All settings are the same on both systems so it looks like I'll be leaving 4.12 as...

Thanks guys, however still no luck. Tried Safe mode and also the config changes, no positive results at all, my only out was to copy the link to the browser. I tried with Firefox as my browser but still no luck. I even updated my Palemoon to the latest version but that didn't help. I'll install anot...

Thanks Zill, unfortunately that didn't work either. the entry palemoon works from the terminal but not from Thunderbird.

Perhaps someone could help me out here, I am running the Solydxee version with Xfce 4.12 and have this curious anomaly which I have not experienced before. My system is set up with 6 workspaces, the 2 in quextion are: Desktop 1 which is my internet and has Palemoon always active and Desktop 6 which ...

Try using Palemoon instead of Firefox, no problems on my Solydx system.

Thanks Zill that worked for me after a logout and in.

I want to change the font colour in my panel however when trying to install the Xfce Theme Manager via Synaptic I come up with the following error - libxfce4util6 (>=4.9.) but it is not installable. Using the Software Manager it performs to approx 54% and then finalises the process without installin...

I installed Solydx 32 bit on a Thinkpad L540 and it is working great. Added 4 workspaces with names. How do you activate the workspaces and how do you get icons on the bottom panel?jozien1722 You can cycle between desktops by using <CTL>+<ALT>+<arrow key> or go to a specific desktop using <CTL>+<AL...

on grub interface press 'e' go to 'quiet splash' then add 'forcefsck' next to it. in that way you can add it on boot parameter without messing with grub conf file. if you want to permanently add a certain boot parameter, edit /etc/default/grub then add it next to 'quiet splash'. after that do 'sudo...

add 'forcefsck' in the boot parameter. else, you can do it from a livecd. Thanks for the prompt response - adding to the boot parameter seems to be the easiest way for me but for an idiot oldie where would I add this parameter in the Grub 2 menu at the system start up, presuming of course that this...

Just returned to my inactive machine to find that a problem was present, I went to use the Update Manager which showed Updates Available but after clicking Update Manager I had only a Close message. Exited Solydx and restarted the vm, during boot the following messages appeared: 1. /Dev/sda2 contain...

Have you tried Solydx or alternatively Makulu, both very speedy Xfce distros

I think my initial problem was that I have just started using VBox and just downloaded from the Oracle site which was of course the latest version which I then installed on my Win7 machine which is my Host. Certainly seems to be working ok, faster startup and shutdown and even my internet experience...

I realise this situation but the reality is that the version of the installed Virtual Box was 4.3.26 whereas the Guest Additions was 4.3.18 thereby causing the original problem, so I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, either continue with an out of sequence VB and Guest Additions install or t...

Well I think I resolved the problem, I uninstalled the old versions using Synaptic PM (4.3.18) and after reboot the Guest Additions were absent, I then reinstalled the latest version (4.3.26), rebooted, the error message was gone and my system was running a lot better, hopefully it will stay that wa...

Very strange, I just reinstalled the Virtual Box Additions and got the following result: ray@solydxk ~/VBOXADDITIONS_4.3.26_98988 $ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run [sudo] password for ray: Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing VirtualBox 4.3.26 Guest Additions for Linux............ Vi...

The first apt policy command won't return anything useful because your VirtualBox is running on a Windows host. What is the version number there? Grizzler Checking the version number from the About Virtual Box on the main VB screen shows: 4.3.26 r98988 which I guess is at variance with the one quot...

Failed to start LSB Virtual Box Additions That error can occur if the versions of virtualbox and virtualbox-guest-dkms do not match. Run these commands in a terminal and make sure the version numbers are the same: apt policy virtualbox apt policy virtualbox-guest-dkms Thanks WM this is the output t...

I have just installed Solydx in the latest Virtual Box system, changing from Vmware Workstation 11 due to the ongoing failure of Vmware to supply an amended Vmware tools for the latest kernel.
