When you have weeks of up time, what does top show in the terminal, for your memory consumption?


I have seen firefox problems with huge memory usage.
This has for my machines been mostly understood and eliminated.

1. I run noscript as a browser add-on in firefox. This prevents the scripts from ...

A fresh install.
I do not even save /home.

All my data is on separate drives, so the OS has no effect.

The only one time I ever had stability problems was on a machine for my wife, where I tried to re-use home. It worked, but it was never as stable as the fresh bare metal installs.
It seemed to be ...

Finished at last. This new machine just achieved class IV stability, 40 days of up time with no data loss, crashes, GUI lock-ups, un intended forced reboots.

That is 12 days running under 23.6 stock, and 29 days running the AHS. That includes a disk reformat and reinstall based on the good advice ...

Also, there is a bleachbit as root option, this is much more dangerous, so don't do that !

AK-47,

Agree on the RC. I wrote, many install the RC, and go on. I think Mepis 12 beta2 was run as a daily driver by some here on the forum for many years!

But I don't, I think the most stable result comes from installing the tested FINAL version

Yup, if you have a late RC, synaptic will upgrade ...

The dev team has working alphas.

But remember MX is Debian stable polished to a shining gem.

Debian, like diamonds are hard, so polishing takes some time and work.

I am excited to get the first betas. That where the excitement comes in for me, the test installs, finding ...

Interestingly, the subject of the thread is not aligning with my experience.

In all installations I recall (again xfce), it is defaulted to requireing a PW after waking.
So, as above, I un-check the box. This is one of the 15 things I do on a new install.

Ah, I see the OP is using KDE, so I am not ...

Easy,
I am on xfce, so go to the MX icon in the bottom right, in the search bar type power, and select the Power manager.

Go to the system tab, tnd there you will see Security, and a box "Lock screen when system is going to sleep"
Check that box or un-check to your preference.

So many great things. MX is Debian stable polished to a gleaming gem. :number1:
And I value stability very highly, MX has it.

I echo many of the sentiments above, noteably:

-Markus85- yes the tools and the availability of the latest packages if you need them. And in most cases, if you make a ...

Thanks Stevo,

I tried to get the fsearch using the uip tool, because I had it loaded before. But when I ran the tool,on the new install, it said it could not be installed, unlike the other 20 packages.

So, I clicked your mxrepo link, and installed, works great as usual. :happy:

As for the ...
