This may be the same bug as this one:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760971
So you probably have to copy a panel from /etc/xdg/lxpanel to
~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/

Are you sure you installed libreoffice? On Arch the openbox menu has
some standard applications even if they are not installed.

Re: [arch-general] Dell latitude and keyboard problem

2014-09-03 Thread Johannes Altmanninger

This sounds like a hardware issue even though it worked on Windows.
I found this forum thread which may be relevant:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2203274

So maybe try to clean and reseat the keyboard if this is possible.

2014-07-07 Thread Johannes Altmanninger
You probably have the linux-3.14 package /var/cache/pacman/pkg
see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrading_packages

Re: [arch-general] Trust This Computer?

2014-07-01 Thread Johannes Altmanninger
I can't say anything about EasyTag but I recommend puddletag to fix
the directory hierarchy.
In puddletag you can just open the whole folder with the files, then
enter something like "%artist%/%album%/%track% %title%" in the format
field and click on the bold `F` (tags to filename)
