MX Linux Forum

Thank you!

I make a snapshot every month or so. And backup Live-UsB Storage periodically.

Just happy with the OS and all the support... truly a wonderful group of people.

Just wanting to thank you all, again.

Every time I screw something up, panic, and come here to beg for help, I use the "search" function and find answers enough to help me dig out of the hole I've fallen into.

So - I've asked for help very few times, but received tons of help many times. And I'm ...

andymx - just posting to echo your "Thanks!"

I am a new MX Linux user who has been at this about a year, motivated by the impending end-of-support for Windows 8/8.1 and by the urge to learn something new that I'd always wanted to learn.

Everyone here has been *amazingly* supportive and encouraging ...

You may consider to save the selected "persistence" boot option together with potentially other selected boot options using

LiveBoot menu -> Advanced Options -> Save Options -> grub save

This would make the selected persistence boot option pre-selected at next Live-boot.



Thanks that worked ...

Thanks MXRobo! I'll certainly check those out.

Brief update. Booted this morning, problem persisted. Re-booted and went to menu to re-select p_static_root and it booted correctly - Conky shows the / size (14 Gig) I selected yesterday from the menu, and bookmarks are the latest ones, not reverted to ...

Thank you fehlix! Somehow I had managed to screw that up - maybe when I did a snapshot, who knows?

Upon continuing to boot, it had me choose a size for rootfs which it always asked for in ...

Thanks!! When I press Upgrade it seems to get all the packages and install them over the previous versions. Maybe goes faster than usual, but appears to work same as usual.

Thanks for the corrections!

An aside... it is possible that my entire problem episode stemmed from using a USB hub.

Much more water over the dam in the meantime, but plugging the MX USB stick in the 'fast' USB port, and plugging the problematic 1T USB drive into one of the other USB ports (in ...

Stevo you are right! I'm not rattled or anything.

I am wrong about what is going on. Went to move browser window, browser crashed and would not re-open.

Clicked on Shut Down and rather than orderly shutdown, it came back with the 'system going down Now!' message and went black.
