I want to recover my normal user account ===>mrbean1. You said, try to add new user (mrbean2); well, everything was fine there but it didn't solve my problem. Also, deleting Xauthority file or all user config. doesn't help either.

No, it's a fresh install...
#3 Re: Installation » I lost my desktop after editing conky » 2019-06-13 21:32:35
It did not work even the nuclear option ! 
No new user created... ie, I still cannot access as a normal user, only in root...

Create a new user and then log in as that user to see if it works. That will tell you if fluxbox is working or not. There may be something in your current user's configs causing the problem.
adduser mrbean2Then give it a new password and just press Enter for the rest of the questions.
I don't think you get ~/.conkyrc automatically. You have to create it. (see the man page and look for examples on the web)
Yess it works !
So what's next ?
If things still won't work then try deleting ~/.Xauthority and if that doesn't fix it then check for root-owned files in $HOME:
find ~ -user root
Sorry but I supposed to check what in $Home ? There is no Xauthority file...

That's a really bad idea, use ~/.conkyrc instead.
There is no ~/.conkyrc file, only /etc/conky/conky.conf. and /etc/conky/conky_no_x11.conf instead
Restore the file with
# apt reinstall conky
Did it but again, I can only access to my desktop as a root user and in normal user, it didn't solve my problem: desktop with only mouse pointer but nothing else, no conky, no plank nor right-click either.

That's an even worse idea, don't do that. Ever.
Strange thing, from there, I can launch any app except Firefox.

Hi,
After installing conky and editing it in /etc/conky/conky.conf., I lost my desktop as a normal user... I use Fluxbox as a window manager and I can log in aka the mouse cursor appears but I can't do anything else, no right-click to access to the menu, no conky...
However, as a root user, I still can access to my desktop... with Fluxbox
So how I can get back to my desktop in non root user ?
Thanks !

Hi, I like this distribution but why did you remove the fluxbox theme ? How to get it back ?
And what is the terminal that Fluxuan uses ?

As fot the shutdown issue, here is the message:

And by clicking on the shutdown button dosen't change anything... no shutdown or anything else...
BTW, I have the 32 bit version and is regularly updated...

Hi,
I use Good Life Linux but each time I wanted to shut down from OpenBox exit menu, nothing happens. I have to log off or switch user and then quit/shutdown.
Second issue is: I installed docky but when I closed the lid of the laptop, docky "disappears" or closed...
