Big monitor problems (mostly with LXDE)
I just got a new monitor and upgraded from 2048x1024 to 1920x1080. I put the computer to sleep while I switched monitors. When I turned it on again, my Openbox/LXDE (Debian Jessie) desktop had become something of a mess.
I used to have a wallpaper, now it's gone.
The taskbar is gone, too. Sometimes it pops up in the middle of the screen, but it's still inaccessible. Once, I managed to right-click it and open the configuration manager. I made a few changes and closed it, but don't see any difference. It's still inaccesible.
The program menu (Ctrl+Esc) pops up all empty, so I have no access to my programs unless I run them from the command line.
I tried:
- logging out and in; no effect.
- rebooting; no effect.
- deleting ~/.config/lxsession; no effect. Well, I lost my personal settings, promptly recovered from a backup when I saw it didn't help.
Suddenly, one program bailed out claiming I had run out of disk space. Upon inspection, it turns out that ~/.cache/lxsession/LXDE/run.log had been logging a ton of errors and grew up to several gigabytes. It had been picking up a lot of messages like this:
--------8<--------
** (lxpanel:10737): WARNING **: margin is bigger then edge size 0 > -2110378752. Ignoring margin
(lxpanel:10737): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_set_size_request: assertion 'width >= -1' failed
(lxpanel:10737): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry: assertion 'monitor_num < screen_x11->n_monitors' failed
-------->8--------
According to Google, this happens a lot in connection with Libre Office and one or two other programs, but I found no mention of LXDE. I have no problem running Libre Office.
I thought I should perhaps contact someone from lxde.org, but although their site is up, the forum, wiki and irc pages are not operational.
I don't know what else I can do. :-(
