Re: For some operations that require elevated privileges, the user's password is sufficient instead of the root password

https://mxlinux.org/blog/mx-21-wildflower-released/ THis has been the case since MX21. I didn't ask by chance, because many things on MX Linux 21 required the root password, but on MX 23 the difference was noticeable, that the password of the current user was already enough for the same tasks. Was ...

Re: For some operations that require elevated privileges, the user's password is sufficient instead of the root password

Nothing. With the introduction of MX 23 we decided to make sudo the default method for performing administrative tasks. However during installation a user can opt for the traditional method if he / she wishes. Thanks, that makes sense. What was the reason that sudo became the default for performing ...

For some operations that require elevated privileges, the user's password is sufficient instead of the root password

I upgraded from Linux 21 to 23 last time. I noticed that where a root password was required, now the user's password is sufficient. Is this a conscious effort on the part of the development?

Re: Debian (and by extension, MX) is often called too old. What is your response to this?

Every time someone recommends Debian or a Debian Stable based distro, a very common complaint against it is that the packages are too old to run and, as they say, are more unstable than more updated repos. Also tied directly to this is the accusation that Debian doesn't support new enough hardware ...

Re: Sysvinit works, Systemd doesn't [Solved]

Many years ago, systemd would go to emegency shell if the swap was formatted during installation of another distro. UUID of swap changed. Maybe it still does? Final solution. You're right, it wasn't just the swap partition that was the problem, but the EFI partition, whose UUID changed for some ...

Re: Sysvinit works, Systemd doesn't [Solved]

@DO, yes I thought about that. There is more automation that probably obviates the need to tweak fstab. I think you are correct, the issue is deeper than fstab. I have only ever used systemd for a while when Manjaro went there. My main reason for hopping away from Manjaro. Haven't tried EndeavourOS ...

Re: Sysvinit works, Systemd doesn't [Solved]

Our efi partition is mounted in fstab as well. Strticlty speaking it’s not required to mount it at all. So you can comment the line out in fstab and see if that helps Bingo! ● mx State: running Jobs: 0 queued Failed: 0 units Since: Thu 2021-12-02 16:24:31 CET; 5min ago CGroup: / ├─user.slice │ └─use ...
