Again thank you all for trying to resolve this for me.
If it had teeth…Can’t believe after rifling through loads of files, previous installed snapshots, settings, apps for searching, there it was right in front of my eyes.. So sorry I missed that! Not that I would have known what to do about it…
“There is more going on here than meets the eye” is very accurate.
Armed with all the information you have generously provided, I have put a completely fresh install on another computer to retrace my moves, make system comparisons and hope to see where I derailed it.
After fresh installation, before doing anything but setting wifi, I upgraded and updated, which was not done at first on the original install. The same issues turned up which were easily correctable – wifi, firewall, xscreensaver not starting. But the larger issue occured when switching desktops after installing Xfce. When I tried to log in – no go. Would not accept login password. Went back to IceWM and took a look in synaptic – which immediately, turned out the broken package – gvfs. On the previous install the gvfs problem did not turn up at that login point – it was later with using thunar and it was “backends”. Maybe because of the upgrade-update timing. However when I fixed it, the login worked and I could get to the Xfce desktop. And this is the point where I think I went wrong in the original (panel-missing install), after many tries at fixing, (as I cannot remember ever uninstalling anything besides Hexchat and Thunderbird – and that was in MX17), I must have been looking through desktop programs as a last ditch effort to make it work and somehow chose to uninstall this important directory and got Xfce to run by doing so, yet unknowingly missing features. I can’t find any records that I keep as I make changes regarding this and cannot remember doing this, but the evidence is quite clear.
======================
The only problem I had a lot of trouble resolving on the new install, is auto-login. Wouldn’t do it through the regular route [control center-maintenence-user manager].
What worked:
(attached files did not load correctly – tried to delete them and could not) added these lines below as sudo nano
in:
lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d
and
lightdm/lightdm/conf.d /
added (as the 2 last lines in each file as sudo in nano editer):
autologin-user=rj
autologin-user-timeout=0
———————–
Added last 2 entries on both files – it worked and hoping it does not cause further problems from having to change both.
I was not necessary to change the “lightdm/lightdm/conf.d / “ file on the first original (with no rox panel toggle) – only the “dm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d” file
I hope I have not yet again initiated more problems by doing so. I did make a snapshot prior, but don’t want to find down the road on 5 laptops that it is causing an issue(s) with something else.
=================================
As far as installing the “desktop-defaults-rox-antix 0.4.5” directory, I have either done it wrong or “There is more going on here than meets the eye” or both, as my skills at the terminal and understanding script and the terminology, are pretty limited to say the least – trying to improve that as I go along. But, this is the result:(E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.)- where are they? could not find any “broken packages” in synaptic
This may be not within-reason fixable.
[Mountbox result – below the panel entry (has been working all along).]
