Re: MX-23 RC2 (Xfce) feedback thread

Overall it seems to work really well. KiCAD 6 runs great - although it should probably be in the development folder and not a folder called Science. Thanks guys!

Re: MX-23 RC2 (Xfce) feedback thread

Just installed RC2 today on a Dell Latitude E7250 and seems to be very stable so far. Browsing the menus, I noticed a few things missing like gdebi package installer but I didn't see a lot of new stuff. I will say that with my Brother laserjet, the printing worked out of the box which I was very ...

Re: MX Updater - replace conf file and automatic yes option in preferences


I always go by this: have I customized anything? If so: keep what I have.

For instance.. suppose fstab updates. I do not want to exchange my version for a standardized one.


That's it exactly. I have custom configs for a lot of things like samba and cups, etc. The prompts are there so that a ...

MX 21.3 Xfce - Desktop Icon position not stable after Xfce 4.18

Hi Guys,

This is a problem I had in MX19 and thought it was solved in MX21 but it's doing it again. I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this. What happens is, sometimes on boot the desktop icons, some of them or all of them, get shifted over to the left side of the screen. I think it's a boot ...

Re: Program Launchers on desktop not working after updates

Hey Fehlix,

Thought I posted a reply a few minutes ago, but I must have not. Anyway, I solved it by making a new launcher and using this command line:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/BPLSV/trevorj/.wine" wine C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start\ Menu\\Programs\\IntelEvent\ Express.lnk

It works in a ...

Re: Program Launchers on desktop not working after updates

Just realized I attached the wrong screen shot of the terminal. The previous one is when I had modified the command line to remove spaces. This is what the terminal output looks like with the command line that wine generated and has always worked:

Re: Program Launchers on desktop not working after updates

Hi Fehlix,

Yes, I saw that too, but this launch command was generated directly by wine when the program was installed and has worked flawlessly for several years, until now. I did try changing the line and it made no difference. Thanks.

Re: Program Launchers on desktop not working after updates

Thought I'd change the launcher to open in a terminal to see if there was any useful output:

Re: Program Launchers on desktop not working after updates

Hey Guys,

So, this machine is a member of a Windows AD Domain. That's a normal home folder location for a user on a domain. There is usually a folder under home indicating the name of the domain and that users in that folder are members of the domain. The same launcher works from the side bar AND ...

Re: Program Launchers on desktop not working after updates

Hi Fehlix,

Click on the icon and nothing happens, no security warning pop up, no program execution, nothing. You can delete the launcher from the desktop, go to the wine folder in the main menu and right click on the launcher and select "Add to Desktop" to put a fresh copy on the Desktop and ...
