MX Linux Forum

Ok, solved it: what was hijacking brightness/gamma was redshift. It was not enough to disable it, I had to quit the program in order for brightness to work (in the games and in nvidia settings).

Thanks, rebooted on non-systemd, but it didn't work (in-game and on desktop)

Yes, my mistake. Here it is:

System:
Kernel: 6.12.20-amd64 [6.12.20-1~mx23ahs] arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A
parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.12.20-amd64 root=UUID=<filter> ro quiet splash
init=/lib/systemd/systemd
Desktop: Xfce v: 4.20.0 tk: Gtk v: 3.24.38 info: xfce4-panel wm ...

Hi all,

I'm playing UnrealGold in Wine and the in-game settings for brightness don't hold for more than a couple of seconds before they revert to what is a darker brightness, making the game quite unplayable. Whether I choose openGl or Direct3D9 in the game, it's the same thing. Other than that ...

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 ...

Worked perfectly!

Thank you siamhie!

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 ...

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.

Thanks, CharlesV, here is my QSI:

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 ...
