Linux Lite Terminal

[l3onidas]

After having installed Linux Lite 7 I found it - to be honest - quite annoying, that the desktop is not configured as in the Live System (after reboot it has a, to say the least, unpleasant appearance with two panels etc.). Why is that?

I managed to configure almost everything, the only question remains: How to get the "Linux Lite Terminal" exactly as it was in the Live System? Is there a configuration file somewhere? Now I have only the ordinary Xfce-Terminal. Not a big thing, but would be nice to have the Linux Lite appearance.

Not quite sure what you are referring to here. Two panels after boot? Not the defaults? Also XFCE terminal is very customizable, as is its BASH and powerline prompt. Almost need to see a screenshot to help you solve this.

I am referring to the fact that the freshly installed system has a completely other desktop configuration than the live system. Other theme, other panel(s), other wallpaper etc. - And other terminal appearance.

My terminal looks just like the ordinary xfce terminal


and not like the linux lite terminal



Of course it is the Xfce Terminal configured in a special way, and for that exact way I am asking. The Windowmanager Theme Materia I have already, it is mainly about this blue-colored prompt.
Another thing i cannot find is how to configure the panel in exact the Lite Style, so that it has this blue color from the icon theme, for example to mark the active window in the window list, and in the workspace applet. Lite Tweak Restore Panel did not the trick.
As already said I am wondering why users have to do all that themselves after installation.

Did you use the erase disk and install use whole disk option when you installed 7? Also Linux Lite can only be upgraded within a series. If you tried saving a seperate previous home partition through the upgrade process, like can be done in Debian, file path mismatches would bork the desktop. Do you have more than one .bashrc file/s in your home folder?

I did a clean install. Not with "erase/use whole disk", but with "something else" - manual partitioning - and separate home partition, which I had (successfully) formatted by the installer, and likewise the root partition. There was absolutely nothing left of the previous system on the home partition or the root partition.

I use a /home partition for years and every time when I do a clean Install, even on a brand new media, the first thing is to restore the /home from a low-level backup.
Only after the restore, I go to BootInstall, etc.
I usually keep the same partitioning scheme, made prior to any other job, with GPartEd.
Next step is to restore the /home and then proceed with the install steps.
For years, all went as expected.
Anyway, if the Terminal customization was lost, I remember that happened some years ago and then I discovered why.
I've been using a Multiboot (MultiSys I guess) and its setup required the xterm.
The same situation described below, happened but I knew that must have been due to xterm installation.
So, it is possible that for whatever reason, that somehow the Terminal configuration file was rewritten, or changed.
But as described before, on a new installation includin formatting the /home, this is impossible.
I just installed LL 7.0 on a "clean slate" (a new SSD with a new partitioning and formatting) and the result was the Lite Terminal, as seen in the screen captures.
This must have been generated by a PPA that used somehow an xterm that now overrides the Lite Terminal config file.

Just done a quick test to try to reproduce the reported issue.
These are pictures of the desktop from a live session



And a similar view of a freshly installed Spanish language system.



Never experienced anything similar to what l3onidas is experiencing.

As far as I am aware, the desktop look and feel settings are spread across several files.
It does take a few minutes to set any personal preferences after a fresh install.

Is this the command in the launcher "Command field"?

Yes.

Did you choose manual partitioning and configure and format a separate home-partition as well?
