LXDM does not support password with spaces. So remove any spaces in your password if you wish to use LXDM.
Hit CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to a tty terminal (text mode). Log in there, and you can change your password using the "passwd" command. Then logout, and switch back to X (CTRL-ALT-F7 IIRC, but might be F6) and you should be able to log in.

2. To change the wallpaper of each desktop, click the particular desktop. A pop-up should appear.
3. Click Set and the Wallpaper settings should appear. Changing the wallpaper from here will not affect other desktops, and you may change each desktop by repeating steps 1-3.
[204] IV. Running Bodhi (Ubuntu) in Browser-Mode
Posted by Puneet Singh on 05/13/2011 @ http://tutafuta.com/2011/05/13/convert-your-ubuntu-into-chrome-os/
1. Enable LXDM Autologin. Make sure to change your password first if it contains any spaces (or see Article VIII if it's too late).
2. Install openbox, fbpanel, pcmanfm as well as the browser you would like to use (either firefox or chromium browser).
3. Run fbpanel via terminal (simply type in fbpanel)
4. Now download these: for chromium or for firefox
5. Extract and open the resulting folder in terminal. (If you're using pcmanfm, just click on Tools and select "Open Current Folder in Terminal" or press F4.)
6. Make the resulting install.sh file into an executable. You can do this in two ways:
a. Right Click then on Permissions, click "Make executable"
b. Via the open terminal chmod +x install.sh
Note to check first if the file is already an executable, because when I extracted mine, it already was an executable.
7. Now log-out and check to see if it works.
Comments
1. Really fast start-up. I can get to work in seconds. Very lightweight install (considering you already have most of the needed apps installed as in my case).
2. Through fbpanel, you can still have access to programs and documents. PCManFM also works well here. Rather easy and fun to use.
3. Memory-consuming over time. Not really ideal for long-term heavy browsing since you have to log-in each time you exit the browser.
4. You can configure the scripts included with the package. Upon experimentation, I have created a desktop with total memory usage of only 18 MB (lxpanel, nm-applet, openbox, could be smaller, but i wanted some eyecandy, too ).
[205] V. Installing TrueType Fonts from Windows for Compatibility
This works best by copying the fonts from C:/Windows/Fonts
This allows for better compatibility between documents from MS Office to OpenOffice or its derivatives. Full compatibility however is improbable, nonetheless, most documents previously needing editing to maintain format, now opens consistent or at least in likeness to original format.
1. Obtain a copy of the windows fonts or get it from wine/playonlinux
2. From the file manager, go to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ as root.
3. Create a subdirectory of any name and paste the fonts inside.
4. Now run the command
sudo fc-cache -f -v
to refresh the font cache.

[300] Quick Tips & Tricks
INTRO: This section covers a selection of applications that are viable alternatives to more popular applications and methods.
[301] I. Alternatives to IDM
04/15/12 @ http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/4867-replacing-internet-download-manager-with-downthemall/page__p__45444#entry45444
Flareget
Install from http://flareget.com/. There had been reports of it being a tad bit buggy. So see below in case you encounter one and wants another alternative. Though browser support is only provided for in the paid version, Flashgot supports Flareget for Firefox and Simple Get for Chrome.
To use Simple Get,
1. Download it from http://www.chromeext...her/simple-get/
2. By default, chrome/chromium doesn't let you install extensions outside google web store, so open chrome://extensions in chrome/chromium and drag the .crx to the extensions page.
3. Open Simple Get's options and fill in the necessary fields. In the Path field, type
/usr/bin/flareget
4. In the Parameters field:
[SG_URL] -P [SG_DESTINATION]
5. To download files, right-click the link and choose Download link.
DTA!
1. Install the latest Firefox.
2. Go to Add-ons (you can use the Tool tab or the Firefox tab and then Add-ons, whichever you prefer).
3. Now search for the following extensions and install them:
3.1) DTA
3.2) Flashgot (Alternatives: Video Download Helper/Unplug)
3.3) Download Unlimited/dTa Anti-Container (optional)
3.4) Fasterfox Lite (optional, the last two is supposed to increase download speed, but it could be just placebo. It's debatable.)
4. Configure DTA.
4.1) In the add-ons manager, click extensions and click on Preferences. The default on the first tab should be ok, but if you pause your downloads from time to time, you might like to check the dTa! manager under the tools menu in the Interface tab.
4.2) Under the Network tab, max out your Concurrent downloads and the downloads per server.
4.3) Under the Advanced tab in the Advanced download control, max out your Max. number of segments per download to 10. This set-up should be ok.
5. If you chose to install Fasterfox Lite, click Preferences and select Turbo Charged.
[302] II. Apt-Fast and Apt-Proz as Alternative to Apt-Get
Posted by Damar Riyadi on undated @ http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/10/boost-apt-get-download-speed-using-apt.html
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tldm217/tahutek.net
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install axel
sudo apt-get install apt-fast
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tldm217/tahutek.net
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install prozilla
sudo apt-get install apt-proz
To use, replace apt-get with apt-fast. There is also apt-metalink which uses aria2, but could not find a “user-friendlier” help file.
[303] III. P7Zip as Alternative to 7Zip
Posted by Mark Zanborn on 02/16/09 @ http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/extracting-7z-files-in-linux/and Lonie Lee Best on undated @http://www.howtoadvice.com/7zipHelper
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install p7zip
to extract:
7z x filename.7z
or
p7zip -d filename.7z
for split volumes, specify the lowest value, i.e.:
7z x FileName.7z.001
[304] IV. Using Palimpsest Disk Utility to Format USB (Alternative to Terminal and GParted)
1. Run terminal.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility
2. Reboot is recommended although, in my case, is not required.
3. To run from terminal, type
sudo palimpsest &
(ampersand is a personal preference)
4. Select USB device from a list in the left column.
5. On the right column, in the Volumes section, select Format Volume. (Make sure that the device is not mounted. Does not seem to support FAT32 formatting.)
[305] V. Using Iron/Chromium as PDF Viewer
Iron is recommended as adding the needed plug-in in Chromium often produces incompatibility issues (see comments)
All extraction can be done via file-roller. Using the terminal is also possible.
1. Download the stable build of google chrome. You may install it and search for libpdf.so in /opt/google/chrome or extract the deb file to a folder.
2. If you've chosen to extract the .deb, extract the LZMA archive file.
3. Copy the libpdf.so file to the program installation folder. In Iron it's /usr/share/iron
4. Restart all instances of Iron
[306] VI. Restart/Shutdown Using Oblogout
There are three ways of doing this:
A. Editing oblogout.conf
1. Make sure you have policykit installed. Open a terminal and type
sudo gedit /etc/oblogout.conf
2. Under the settings option, set usehal to false.
B. Launching oblogout as root
1. Edit your launcher to
gksudo oblogout
C. Editing sudoers file
1. (This is not recommended) Follow the instructions in this link
[307] VII. Launch Web Apps/Extensions from Menu
Sometimes, we just don't want to go through the trouble of opening chromium, and waiting for the modules to load, and then clicking the app that we want from the extensions bar. So I tried to find a way to access them through a menu using desktop shortcuts. This way, it'll look as if it was a separate app and at the same time reduces the number of clicks and wait time. This works for Chrome/Chromium.
1. Install the web app or extension in Chrome.
2. Create a personal application launcher.
3. Fill in the necessary fields. The important field is the Command. For Chrome, it's
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
for Chromium, it's
chromium-browser
4. Append the appropriate commandline switch, depending on the nature of the application, whether if it's a web app or an extension. The switch is
--app=
what follows after = is dependent on whether it is a web app or an extension.
if it's a web app, the address would be in the address bar. For example:
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --app=http://www.webcamtoy.com
if it's an extension,
a. Click on the extension's button.
b. From the resulting pop-up window, right-click anywhere in it and select "Inspect element".
c. The Developer Toolbox window should appear along with the needed address. Copy that address up until popup.html. The code will look something like this:
--app=chrome-extension://gkkagmljmjdilndhenjikgdnebcpfkfo/popup.html(this is the chikka messenger extension)
[308] VIII. Preload Firefox
Firefox isn't exactly the fastest and lightest browser around, and if you use a significant amount of addons, it'll bear heavy on its performance especially to its startup. There's a trick in Windows that significantly speeds up Firefox startup. It's a hack job, but it pretty much does the job well and unlike in Windows, it wouldn't bother Bodhi's startup at all. To preload Firefox:
1. Install the FireTray Addon by Foudil
2. In its Preferences under the Windows tab, tick “Start application to tray”
3. Add Firefox to the startup by going to Settings >> All >> Apps >> Startup Applications
[309] IX. Log Errors and Output into File
Tinkering around with manuals and I found a gem. Turns out its pretty well-known so I dug around for it. Oftentimes, it's difficult to copy all the output you see in the terminal when launching the file, and when you're asking for help in forums, or would like to use a graphical interface to find something in it, it can be a bit daunting. So what we want is to be able to log the errors and/or output into a file. There are three ways of doing this:
1. Redirect command
program > logfilename
or
program >> logfilenameto append to an existing logfile.
2. Tee command
This is probably the best way to do it:
program 2>&1 | tee logfilename(click me for syntax explanation)
If there are a series of commands:
program1 && program2 && program3 | tee logfilename
3. Script command
If you have a series of interaction to make, and would like to have a hardcopy of everything displayed, then script would be a good option:
script filename
This will start the script session. If no filename is given, the typescript is saved in "typescript". After running the above command, just run the program and everything during the script session will be recorded. To end the session, press ctrl + D
[310] X. Fun with Fortunes and Cowsay
These two have been my favorite terminal toys, especially when I'm bored or trying to study:
1. First, install fortunes and cowsay
2. To make the cowsay fortunes,
fortune | cowsay
3. You can add quotes to fortunes and cow files (ASCII art that cowsay uses to change the image).
a. To add quotes, make a file where the quotes are saved. After every end of each quote, add
&
b. Then, after completing the whole file, launch the terminal and make a data file:
strfile quotefilename
c. Move the two files to /usr/share/games/fortunes/
To add cowfiles, simply search for an ASCII art, paste it over a copy of a cowfile and save it under a different name (remember to append .cow to the filename) in /usr/share/cowsay/cows/.
You can use them as a reviewer of sorts, too, by adding the questions to fortune and specifically asking for it:
fortune reviewer
[311] XI. Aliases
Ever used a command that needs a lot of arguments like, for example, mencoder? Or maybe you just want to fortune reviewmequick | cowsay -f stegosaurus after a long day working with/studying the terminal? You can use aliases to shorten those commands.
1. In your home directory, look for .bashrc
2. At the very end of the file, append your alias(es)
alias youralias='command'
For example,
alias norex='sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends'
so that when i wish to install a program that install a lot of recommended software like for example gnome-tweak-tool,
i would only have to type in
norex gnome-tweak-tool
A word of caution though, don't be too dependent on aliases or you might end up having to relearn all your commands during a full reinstall.
[312] XII. Limit Number of Processes
A forkbomb isn't the only thing that can crash your linux. Running a lot of programs (Chromium for example with a lot of tabs open and a lot of ads opening it's only a whatif, please don't argue on a low-spec computer) can severely impact your system, too.
From http://www.cyberciti...er-process.html
Quote
Limiting user processes is important for running a stable system. To limit user process just add user name or group or all users to /etc/security/limits.conf file and impose process limitations...Each line describes a limit for a user in the form:
<domain> <type> <item> <value>
<domain> <type> <item> <value>
Login as root to edit /etc/security/limits.conf
[313] XIII. Hide Your Secrets Better
It's a trick I used to do back in Windows, and I wanted to use it in Linux, too. You can use
cat maskfile filetohide >> maskedfile
Essentially, the above command will append the "filetohide" to "maskfile" and create the output "maskedfile".
For example,
cat mask.jpg bigsecret.zip >> masked.jpg
The command will append the zip file to the jpg. You can extract the files by opening it with file-roller.
To detect if it's a steganographic image without any tools available other decryption tools, open the file in an editor such as Leafpad or use the tail command
tail masked.jpg
To improve your stealth, remember the following:
1. The filename will appear at the end of the tail command and/or leafpad. To avoid this, do not use any filename.
2. Don't use a file that's available for download online, file size can be used for comparison.
3. Hide the treasure box under a tree, then hide the tree in a forest.

[501] I. Back-Up E
Posted by hippytaff on 01/16/12 @ http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/3881-efixsh/
It's a script to backup ~/.e so that e is regenerated when updates kill e. If that makes sense :/
If you run the script with no arguments, it will automatically back ~/.e to ~/.e_bkup. To run it open a terminal in the diretory it is in
./efix.sh
You can use the following flags for further options -
./efix.sh -s
or
./efix.sh --suppress
to remove ~/.e and restart E without backing up first.
./efix.sh -b
or
./efix.sh --backup
To backup ~/.e without removing it.

[502] II. "IOPL not enabled" Possible Fix
The famous "IOPL not enabled" error message persists today. I encountered it when I installed MS Office 2010. Now there are various fixes available in the internet that are reported to work, though not applicable to all. This is a possible fix and I have found no user reports and testimonials to verify the effectiveness of this fix.
1. Run Play On Linux.
2. Select the application and click "Configure."
3. Click on the Wine tab and then click "Configure wine". winecfg should launch.
4. In the Applications tab, set Windows version to Windows 7, Vista or 98, apply, then revert back to XP (or experiment which version works).
5. Do a windows reboot in the wine tab on Play on linux configuration manager. IOPL not enabled should no longer be a problem.
Other possible fixes
I have tested these, but still received the "IOPL not enabled" error message. Included for reference.
A. Set wineprefix
Posted by eschuch on 10/15/2007 @ http://ubuntuforums....ad.php?t=453559
1. In a terminal:
sudo gedit /etc/environment
2. At the end of the file, add
Quote
WINEPREFIX="/home/~/.wine"
B. DCOM98
Posted by dembel91 on 05/05/2008 @ http://ubuntuforums....t=453559&page=2
1. Launch play on linux configuration manager.
2. In the "Install packages" tab, install dcom98 (it's a 1.2 mb package).
3. In the Libraries tab of winecfg, override rpcrt4 to builtin.
C. Native gdiplus
Posted by Jeremy Visser on 08/04/2008 @ https://jeremy.visse...o-2003-in-wine/
1. In winecfg, override gdiplus to Native.
[503] III. Clean Up Old Kernel
1. Go to the terminal and type
dpkg --list | grep linux-image
and note the kernel you want to remove.
2. Go to Synaptic Package Manager. In the bottom-left panel, click Status, and then on the upper-left, click Installed.
3. In the search box, type in the version number. Mark for complete removal the kernel. Your Grub should be cleaned automatically.

I've implemented your suggestion.
