MX Linux Forum

It's a reasonable suggestion, however some people complained about "bloat" and while I don't usually pay attention to that, it's a bit much and even confusing to have Discover, Synaptic, MX Packageinstaller, not to mention apt, apt-get, aptitude to manage packages. It's fine to add whatever you ...

I voted for Discover. However Synaptic should be installed as default as well. I always install Synaptic as a backup. Apt notifier is a more pleasing indicator of updates but that is all IMO.

...I found the above mentioned setting for Discovery does indeed prevent Discover notifications. I can get notifications from only from MX Updater and still have Discovery installed.


I was wrong. I just got some updates today and both Discover and MX Updater notifications showed up in the tray ...

But how do you disable Discovery notifications?


I couldn't work that out either, which is why I ended up removing it.

I don't. Does not bother be.

and reboot.

I got this as a response.

Yes, it's at vers 0.6.55-3

I have a media server app that I installed on MX-21 and it creates a user with a uid of 998. Now when I login I have this app user appear in the login greeter. I don't believe mx19 had this issue as I had the same media server running on it. I thought a user had to have a UID of 1000 or more for it ...
