2. can’t open file manager with root
there was a option in tool menu ,which allows us to open file manager in root account , it is convenient for us to change configuration and install deb.when i updated to 3.0 , i found it doesn’t work anymore
solution:
1. menu -> evilvte
2. type sudo touch ~/.Xauthority && sudo chown $LOGNAME ~/.Xauthority && chmod 775 ~/.Xauthority
3. reboot
3. i don’t like the new wallpaper, although i like prision break
solution:
1.enter /usr/share/lxde/wallpapers
2. -> tool menu -> open current folder as root

4. can’t save the configuration after reboot
5. the keyboard often pops up automaticly
