Salix Xfce 13.2beta1 is ready for testing!

Or LILO got installed, but on the MBR of another disk drive? Not on your regular first booting device?
You may want to verify the setting: boot=
Maybe the device naming scheme of your USB key is clashing with your regular disk drive?

I just installed 13.2b1 this morning and am running into a couple odd issues. One, I can't use "parole --xv disable". it gives me a no such command error although it works with other distros. I also installed VLC 1.1.7 and it won't change appearance when I force window style to GTK+ to match my theme.

still having an issue with VLC not changing themes.

did an update this morning. I saw there was a GTK+ update. However, VLC still won't adopt the same GTK+ theme as the rest of the apps. I assume it has something to do with the VLC compile since every other version that allows one to choose GTK+ as a theme option works on other distros as I mentioned.

edit: I didn't have this issue in 13.1.2 and before.

Maybe running qt-config and selecting something different in there helps? VLC is not a GTK app anyway. Or it could be a problem with this specific version of VLC.

hmmm, I can't find qt-config to run nor is it in the repositories. not listed that way anyway.

Ah, that should be qtconfig, no dash.

if I run qtconfig in the terminal I get a message...
louis[~]$ qtconfig
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.

maybe that's why

What is this QGTKStyle? Did you install it yourself? Try removing it.
