Troubleshooting Kali Linux XFCE: Exiting Game Played with Wine - Desktop Functionality and Appearance Issues
In this article, we will discuss the issues encountered when exiting a game played using Wine on a Kali Linux XFCE system, focusing on the problems related to desktop functionality and appearance. These problems include the inability to use right-click and left-click on the desktop, as well as changes in the background.
1. Inability to Use Right-Click and Left-Click on Desktop
One of the most common issues faced by users is the inability to use right-click and left-click on the desktop after exiting a game played using Wine. This problem can be caused by several factors, including incorrect permissions and settings for the desktop, as well as conflicts between Wine and the XFCE desktop environment.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:
- Check the permissions and ownership of the desktop directory by running the following command in the terminal:
ls -l ~/DesktopThe output should show that the desktop directory is owned by the current user and has the correct permissions. If not, you can change the ownership and permissions by running the following commands:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/Desktop
sudo chmod -R 755 ~/Desktop- Try resetting the XFCE desktop environment by logging out and logging back in, or by running the following command in the terminal:
xfdesktop --reset2. Changes in Background
Another issue faced by users is the changes in the background after exiting a game played using Wine. This problem can be caused by the game setting the background to a specific image or color, which is not restored after the game is closed.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:
- Check the settings of the game to see if there is an option to restore the original background after the game is closed.
- If the game does not have this option, you can try resetting the background by running the following command in the terminal:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/workspace0/last-image -s ''In this article, we have discussed the issues encountered when exiting a game played using Wine on a Kali Linux XFCE system, focusing on the problems related to desktop functionality and appearance.
