I have just installed salix from the livecd 13.1.1 lxde. Install went well I can boot into the system. I have been able to run programs with no problems.
The first problem is I have no salix artwork. Like backgrounds or icons. I have a stock lxde desktop look except for the small salix icon on the menu button.
The second problem or question is that when I boot into salix there is an error about cannot mount partition sda8. here is the lines from my dmesg file.
EXT3-fs (sda8): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
EXT2-fs (sda8): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
EXT4-fs (sda8): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 8:8.
sda8 is my salix root partition. Thanks for any help, Kelean.

Your problem with the artwork/settings is probably caused by the settings not being transferred properly when creating the user. That might have been due to a faulty CD or something like that. The easier way to get everything as they should be is to delete the user (not deleting the homedir) and recreating the user. You can do that from within the gtk+2 user configuration tool, or with userdel and then usersetup from the terminal.
I cannot delete the user as it says I am still logged in. So I created another user and all of the artwork is there as it should be. I then tried to del the problem user and it said that the user was still logged in.
I have been thinking about this problem and when I installed I kept my old home directory without changing anything in the directory. So that is where my problem is comming from.
Now that I have thrown in a new monkey wrench into the mix. Any ideas on what I need to do to fix it.

Thanks and sorry Kelean.
Don't worry, we shall help you
You mean that when you log in as the new user, it refuses to delete the old user because it says it is still connected? that is very odd indeed.
Did you try after a reboot of your computer, ensuring that you log directly into your new user?
What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.
Okay, rebooted and logged in as new user deleted old user and added old user back again. I logged out of new user logged in as old user and was greeted by a pop up message. Here is what the message said.
User's $Home/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $Home directory must be owend by user and not writable by other users
I clicked ok and the desktop started it was very basic. No background, menu entrys, or anything on the panel. I am really confused now.
