MX Linux Forum

Sorry, bad news. It happened again.
Today, I was on the start page of Youtube without playing any video, left my computer to my window sill for about 10 to 15 minutes to water my plants, went back to my computer, clicked the left mouse button and moved the mouse around to wake it up, and... that ...

Have you tried reinstalling onboard ?


Yes, but I didn't in the end, because onboard is a dependency of lightdm-gtk-greeter-mx23.
If I try to uninstall onboard (that's what happening before it installs again), I will also loose lightdm-gtk-greeter-mx23.


see if there are error messages ...

(EDIT: Sorry, there was a typo in the "Subject:". Of course, I'm running MX 23.6 xfce, not 23.5)

After several months, I'm still trying to find a fix for the issue, where the "onboard" keyboard icon is disappearing when my bluetooth mouse wakes up from standby (for example, if I watched a longer ...

I will try as soon as the latest non-flatpak version of TigerVNC is in the MXPI.

First, I used version 1.12.0 from the active repo of the MXPI, but I got a message about a certificate mismatch each time, right before ...

Currently, I'm thinking about giving up in order to set up a new MX.

Today, I continued examining this issue.
I found the ConnectionNotifier extension in the bluetooth manager, which I unchecked a few weeks ago.
But I tried that one both checked and unchecked, but again the icon was disappearing.

Then I thought, let's see what's going on in the greeter settings ...

As far as I remember, the message was indeed mentioning wayland. I was able to install it (same version like yours), but I cannot use it in any way, because it seems to me meant for wayland.
And it doesn't fix the icon issue.

Meanwhile, I tried a locally saved mp4 video, played in SMPlayer in both ...

Ladies and Gentlemen!
"We" (absolutely not!) proudly present... The worst idea of the day:
<! -- <value type="string" value="Onboard"/> -->

After that, the task bar was simply a total mess. :duh:

My hope is now, that maybe this fixed the disappearing icon issue as ...
