MX Linux Forum

I still run MX-Fluxbox as one of my main workstations at work, and on one of my spare laptops to couch surf at home, but one of my main workstations at home is running Fedora. During Fedora's default install back around Fedora 31 or 32 (the last time I installed to a fresh SSD) it sets up one ...

Hello, I added a line to cron @reboot /usr/bin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g But after reboot, the Wake-on parameter: d Did you use the command... sudo crontab -e to create the entry? I believe that ethtool needs to be run with "sudo" privileges, so your crontab needs to be the root crontab in order to run ...

I haven't run Mint, but I do have experience running Ubuntu flavors and Fedora. In the case of Ubuntu flavors, I have done in place upgrades from one release to the next sometimes moving from LTS to interim releases and then back to LTS's as they became available. In WSL (on my Windows systems) I ...

Thanks for your reply's... When I set up my systems from scratch on a new distro, it takes quite a lot of time. Admittedly I can drag my config files with me. Even so, it still takes a lot of time. I don't much like doing it these days. I did once, not now. That is the prime reason I like full ...

PCLinuxOS (PCLOS) . Due to the MX that was running on my Lenovo not being supported anymore...My main machine (Clevo) is also out of MX support now. Just curious, would installing MX21 on those machines be a possible solution as well, so you wouldn't be running an unsupported version of MX? I'm ...

I came to MX rather recently, 2 years ago, but used SimplyMepis way back. Today, I split my Linux time between Fedora and MX for the most part, those are the distros on my main desktops and personal laptop. What keeps me in Fedora and MX are the communities. Both are warm and welcoming, and give me ...

@mowest : after reading up on some old bl-forum posts, found that you can write the 'sleep' command directly in ~/.fluxbox/startup: # if kdeconnect is installed, start the kdeconnect-indicator if [ -x /usr/bin/kdeconnect-indicator ]; then sleep 5s && bash -c 'kdeconnect-indicator' & fi using the ...

Anyway, Hope that a 'kdeconnect-indicator' command still initializes the icon in the systemtray, when executed after fluxbox startup? Yes, it does. I can get kdeconnect-indicator to launch and show up in the system tray by using ROFI to launch it. Wait a minute..... :bagoverhead: I didn't check the ...

I use WOL for three different machines, and it appears as if the network cards (at least the ones I have in the consumer grade hardware that I'm using) are configured by default with "Wake-on: d" or WOL is configured to to be off, but they supposedly can be configured with "pumbg" settings. If the ...

ceeslans I thought your solution was the fix, but I can't get kdeconnect-indicator to start after rebooting. It stopped working after I added a systemd service to set the wakeonlan bit on my ethernet card to the correct setting so I could wake my MX Fluxbox desktop remotely. Here is where that ...
