Re: In praise of MX Linux

MX Linux is unique in every respect. In the last couple of months, having some time free, I tried more than a dozen distros on my spare machine. Not one of them lasted more than a day due to this or that quirk/shortcoming/bug/etc. I'm talking about "top" distros, and not obscure ones. I'm amazed ...

xfce4-notes background change [Solved]

Hi all, I'm trying to change the background of the sticky notes window without success (the "Properties" -> "Configure the plugin" dialogue box doesn't have the option to change the background, which is currently yellow with white font in the toolbar). Things I tried: Edited ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk ...

Re: Long reboot/shutdown delay with plymouth message

Update:

So, I just shut it down (same kernel) and it shut down normally; I then rebooted it, and it rebooted normally.

I have no idea what is triggering the issue mentioned in this post. No external HDs or USBs attached, no peripherals or networked drives either.

Long reboot/shutdown delay with plymouth message

Hi all, In the last few days, I've had a recurring issue whenever I'm rebooting or shutting down. It doesn't happen every single time, but at least every 3-4 times, and I'm not able to pinpoint what triggers it. The message I get, when I press Esc to see why the delay, is only these two lines ...

Re: MX-Linux doesn't see Arch Linux in grub [Solved]

The OP should only do changes in his /boot/grub/custom.cfg file, and NOT in /etc/grub.d/41_custom. The latter is the script that tells grub that if there exists /boot/grub/custom.cfg file on the system, to display the grub menu entries within after the normal grub menu entries. Thanks, asqwerth.

Re: MX-Linux doesn't see Arch Linux in grub [Solved]

Thank you, too for the feedback. In the meantime I just remembered it wrong, as if there was such a file ootb , just empty, so you did well creating it, also you did well creating with exactly that name, cause it's defined so in another place (/etc/grub.d/41_custom) (to be scanned and added), say ...

Re: MX-Linux doesn't see Arch Linux in grub [Solved]

:number1: I was just going to write that. If you change kernel etc. you need to do (kind of "update") it again. However unlike MX / Debian no kernel versions stated: linux /vmlinuz-linux-lts initrd /amd-ucode.img /initramfs-linux-lts.img So, first compare the new grub.cfg and do it if necessary ...
