not sure I understand your reply (beyond my paygrade?) - I tend to go for legacy boots as have a number of old Lenovo laptops and tend to use different machines for different functions (eg I do a lot of archival transcribing - one machine holds photos and I transcribe on another with a third holding ...

I have a working + fully upto date mx25 (32 bit) that works on all my various Lenovo machine eg X200s but not on my think centre M710q
it will start up gets as far as beginning to display the home screen in that the time briefly appears in top left corner but gets no further before giving a blank ...

A quick follow up but first the background - the initial problem was not a problem with Asunder but a change by gnudb requiring registration of the IP of requesters for cddb lookups used by Asunder to provide track listings. Ssuch registration needed also to be linked to a valid email address ...

but being in the test package implies that it or any updates it triggers may cause problems - maybe a better question is when will it move to be a standard update, at least to MX21, as it appears MX19 (which to be honest still seems the most pleasant choice for me as MX21 still throws up annoying ...

is Asunder 3.0 going to be available as an update (as gnudb have effectively blocked use of 2.9.7 under MX21 (better still MX19) - I'm afraid MX23 causes problems for me

weird failure mode - the updater entry no longer shows, many 'open with' options no longer work eg featherpad, VLC, nomacs .. when there are updates available the green box re-appears and following the update all the above problems disappear - next reboot I can no longer use VLC etc
AFAIK I've only ...

yes - found it - catch is I'd never used Cronky so it hadn't twigged - it was easily fixed - but the failure of Samba within my network meant I just ditched it as was only a tryout - however having now got hold of a RPi 5 and disliking the Ubuntu offering the MX 23 respin for RPi5 looks to be what I ...

thought I would try latest MX23 - the 1st 'annoyance' is how to I get rid of the large clock overlay on the background image (I always change this to one of my own photos) - the battery indicator is likewise very annoying - I can't see the mechanism to remove them.
