<SOLVED> Black desktop

Post by nizarusse »

Hi,

I have been using Linux Mint 13 XFCE since almost a year now with no big issue until today.

My desktop became suddenly black and the icons of the files saved in my desktop has disappeared. Only the panel is visible.

I didn't find how to solve this issue and would appreciate if someone can help.

Thanks,

Try turning off Display Compositing from the Menu > Settings > Window Manager Tweaks program, Compositor tab.

If that doesn't help, open a terminal and use the following command to reload the xfce desktop manager:

Code: Select all

xfdesktop -R
