MX Linux Forum

So far so good but I will let you know if anything comes up

Just some feedback. I installed the new update and later rebooted. I was put in the grub screen. I did not panic tho I live cd the boot repair and alls well. Thanks anyways for this thread even if I forgot about the boot repair I would have been reminded by searching simply grub, and checking the ...

I am a noob. I got an even older Lenovo. t420 Thinkpad. It was an official refurbish that I bought a few years back. MX Linux installed on it makes me forget how old it is. Though this thing was built to last. I did double the RAM however.. 8G -> 16G. Just because it was cheap to do it. For me it ...

@ Head_on_a_Stick
Hey thanks that works great. I must admit I am still a bit lost on what the .desktop files can do. I'm 3 months in to linux and the amount of info one needs is enormous. That and I am more interested in learning actual coding. My first try dropped me info a default session and I'm ...

I did say I'm a noob. But I can admit when I mess up. First, only half of the problem is resolved as dwm still is not behaving. But I don't care about it nearly as much as awesome wm.

Manyroads! I will check out your link. I have read your other article about bspwm. Good stuff but I tried awesome and it was over. I just like it more. Only forcing myself with dwm cause I'm learning C in my freetime.

Thanks for the reply. No doubt that awesome is probably different. But in fact I am using the same exact source code that I used on arch for dwm. I only installed dwm from the package installer to rip off the .desktop file to put it in the xsession place in usr/share. Then I uninstalled it and built ...

Thanks for the reply. That is not the problem. I can login to awesome and dwm. I see the session switcher at the top of login, and use it. However each of these WM have features that allow them to start up some stuff. Like the polkit for example. Or systray icon thingys. With dwm you must patch it ...

How in the world does the startup work in MX19? I keep coming back because its the only modern distro that has not crashed or overheated my laptop. It does work great if you stick with xfce. I was on arch for a week before I realized that for whatever reason arch was not using my fan and I was close ...
