so this means i have to reinstall again ? OMG

BluishHumility · February 6, 2023, 6:28pm

It does not. A reinstallation is almost never necessary.

A few posts ago (you seem to open very many), your inxi has Desktop: MATE:

Then, you started horsing around with some weird out-of-date theming-related packages:

Now something is broken.

Have you tried walking back this ocs-url thing you did?

Firas · February 6, 2023, 6:32pm

no // the only thing left i haven’t tried is the xfce so i will install and see how stable that is

Firas · February 6, 2023, 6:33pm

LOL I Like that

BluishHumility · February 6, 2023, 6:35pm

It is rock-solid stable, just like Mate is. But any DE can be broken when you start messing around with system configs or install old abandoned software.

FGD · February 6, 2023, 6:41pm

But now after Mate and Deepin it's Hannah. Hannah Montana Arch(btw) GNU/Linux Edition (Meme Project) - #9 by Firas
