      Hi there,

      new user here (new to antiX, been on various Linux Distros for over 10 Years), and so many questions. I am currently in a Space-JWM desktop after hopping around a bit between desktops to see what I like. I wanted to go back to IceWM, alas it is gone from the “Other Desktops” menu. This menu now looks like this:

      Rox-Fluxbox
      Space-Fluxbox
      min-Fluxbox
      Fluxbox
      herbstluftwm
      Rox-JWM
      Space-JWM
      min-JMW
      JWM
      Minimal-Fluxbox
      Minimal-JWM
      Rox-Fluxbox
      Rox-JWM
      Space-Fluxbox
      Space-JWM

      Very different from what it used to look like and quite unnecessarily repetitive. Any idea what could have gone wrong? The only thing I changed before the problem occurred was run updates and create a “prefoverrice” file in .icewm, which had no effect at all and which I have since deleted.

      Thanks,
      Osmond

        Hi, this might help
        sudo apt update && sudo apt install --reinstall desktop-session-antix
