This respin is good, but I didn't managed to re-create a workable snapshot after upgrading to 18.2. The network doesn't connect. Also tried by changing kernel antix-4.9 to 4.19 and adding extension modules.

Instead of modifying the respin ...

Hi rasat,

thx for testing my respin. Have done this to provide a different software selection. The base for this is the antiX-core image with a lot of tweaks, so I'm using antiX kernels for older machines per default. You didn't find desktop-defaults packages from MX on this respin, so the the ...

I'm using two Windows apps on one of my machines via wine. foobar2000 and the great burning application AnyBurn. Both works great but CD-Ripping via foobar is not possible.

In my opinion there are no native Linux programs good replacements for that apps. For example I'm ripping Audio CDs with ...

with Cinnamon DE it's easier you use LMDE3, add MX-repos and install some MX-Tools. It's a systemd system.


Wait a minute. Even though MX Linux uses SysV as its init software, you're saying the Cinnamon desktop environment itself
also installs systemd to replace it?

Please tell me I ...

on my MX System dbus-uuidgen is working, so the file /var/lib/dbus/machine-id created at first boot. /etc/machine-id not exists in regular MX-ISOs. This file not created at first boot; /etc/machine-id is a systemd thing only. For compatibility to systemd it's better there is a symlink to /var/lib ...

Hi Uwe,

hey, ich freue mich, wenn ich hier mal muttersprachlich schreiben darf...

Hast ja ne ganz ähnliche "Linux-Karriere" wie ich. So lange bin ich noch gar nicht bei Linux, aber die Faszination trägt mich immer weiter. Ich habe auch zeitnah angefangen, mir meine eigenen Systeme zu bauen, da ich ...

deleting /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is correct for a fresh iso. /etc/machine-id is a 0-byte file in Debian ISOs, so the system create the id at first boot via dbus-uuid. After the creation the files /etc/machine-id and /var/lib/dbus/machine-id have the same content.

On antiX/MX regular ISOs there is ...

+1 in this reason for deepin. I will give it a try. deepin is more leigthweight since version 15.7. Only a few apps and their own DDE stuff pre-installed. Actual version 15.9 looks very clean and the system has an improved touchscreen support. There is no live iso availabe but only the grub entry ...

For a while I have included Debian Buster repo in my MX 18 test system and I have purged gcc-6/g++-6.

apt replaced this with gcc-7/g++-7 from Buster Repo automatically, not gcc-8/g++-8 but this is available too.

Note: It's an experiment. This system runs stable so far but it isn't recommandable to ...

think thunar-shares-plugin is a nice helper. Perhaps an additional feature for the MX-ISO. Looks userfriendly.
