MX Linux Forum

Hello all. I'm not asking for solutions. I'm posting this because I couldn't find a solution to the problem in the title anywhere, and I hope this helps someone. Every single search I've done for this solution came up with answers to how to disable the tab restore setup instead of actually fixing ...

Thank you for this solution. It fixed my problem.

On boot as my system transitions from the splash screen, the original "Honesty" background appears even though I am using the Variety app and have cycled through many different backgrounds since first installation. The Honesty background then tiles as the desktop scaling changes to my preferred 1.3 ...

This is an excellent utility tutorial, and it has come in especially handy for sometimes working outside in bright light and other times working inside in darker areas. I would add that it should be noted that in later versions of MX Linux the theme names have changed and must be updated in the code ...

To change the spacing, go to ~/<user_name>/.config/gtk-3.0 and open "no-ellipse-desktop-filenames.css" with your text editor. Note that this .css file is created when you enable "Disable shortening of long filenames on the desktop". Also note that when you disable that setting, that file is removed ...

Thanks for these suggestions! Good day to you both.

Hi, what do people use currently for setting up cron jobs in a GUI? I've found several references to gnome-schedule, but they're all two or three years old and I can't find gnome-schedule in the repos now. Is there anything in the basic MX Linux setup suitable for this job that I've somehow missed ...

There is an option in the xfce power manager settings for on battery vs on charge. I had forgot about that option as it does not work on my new computer however YMMV. (Plus I like having the disconnect and reconnect sound :D ) Well...I think I do recall that setting, and I recall the function ...

i don't use xfce so i can't check but can't this be done under power manager -display settings? KDE has the option to dim screen immediately on battery ... i thought xfce would have a similar setting edit ... antix-dave responded while i was typing so seems i assumed wrong XFCE seems to be short ...

Not entirely sure if there is a better "MX" way of dimming the display. I have been using a udev rule and xbacklight to do this. The udev rule runs a script on power cable connect / disconnect. The script also runs aplay to play a disconnect and connect sound. Edit: If xbacklight does not work ...
