Re: After the CUPS update, I can no longer access SMB mounts

FullScale4Me

The SMB client works fine in Thunar, but the gvfsd-fuse - Fuse daemon for gvfs does not. It was working just fine before I applied the CUPS related updates. The gvfsd-fuse takes your SMB mount and converts it to a file related mount:

SMB: smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/directory/

gvfsd-fuse ...

After the CUPS update, I can no longer access SMB mounts

This might be an unrelated topic, but after the CUPS update, I can no longer access SMB mounts via command line and the SMB mount is accessible only through thunar. It is not recognized by $ gio mount nor listed in /run/user/xxxx/gvfs/

Also to add, the gvfs daemon is running:


$ ps -ale | grep ...

Re: [Solved] Timeshift and btrfs file system

Just FYI @bubbling2245 - if you get back to wanting to use btrfs and timeshift, here is a great youtube video from Dolphin Oracle:

Re: Request MX-23: KeePassXC 2.7.8 [Solved]

So, in order to keep the full, I uninstalled keypassxc , which was version 2.7.4 and then installed keepassxc-full to get to 2.7.8.

That way I didn't perform this update and lose full functionality.

keepassxc/mx 2.7.8+dfsg.1-0.1~mx23+1 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.7.4+dfsg.1-2]

And, everything ...

Re: MX Linux with fs btrfs and timeshift with @root and @home label partitions [Solved]

This is a great topic. I use snapper sudo apt install -y snapper inotify-tools and grub-btrfs https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs so I can have snapshots automatically made pre and post every time I use apt to install a new package. I use grub-btrfs to be able to boot into a snapshot. I have it ...

Re: Switching from MX Linux's LibreOffice deb to the official Flatpak version [Solved]

You can do it that way or use the MX Package Installer. Yes, there are A LOT of packages that make up LibreOffice. Once you uninstall it, you can use either the flatpak or the .deb route.

You can uninstall the version that comes with MX Linux and then install the latest and greatest .deb version off of their web site. Easy to do and that's what I do here.

Re: Getting nowhere trying to install xremap from d/l'd binary file

I downloaded the file: xremap-linux-x86_64-kde.zip and extracted the one file out of it, xremap. When you extract the file using ark, it already has the execute bit set, so after it has been extracted and you are in the same directory of it, just type in on the CLI:


$ ./xremap


And it works ...
