MX-18 Feedback

[Paul..]

That could solve a lot of problems!!!

Upgrade from 17.1 to 18 happened seamlessly for me; one day Conky told me I was running 17.1, the next day it told me I was on 18. I installed the newer Kernel, but everything else is just the same!
Thanks for making it all so easy.

I can't duplicate that here.

My process was I took the iso, used MX-Live-USB-Maker and the encrypt checkbox, and "full-featured" mode. Again, just like mx17.

So I'm not sure what's going on. I suggest using the commanline version and see if there is any better luck.

Okay, thanks for trying.

Not sure if it matters, but I did turn on static persistence before the first boot... maybe that was causing some sort of issue.

At any rate, I've got 17 working, and that's good enough for now.

Interstingly data point I'll try that combination

I'm not having any trouble with enabling static persistence after making an encrypted usb stick.

however,

the cli backend, live-usb-maker, has an option (selectable in its menu) to set the password at time of creation rather than at first boot. maybe that would work better for you.

Hello to all of you !

First congrats to the MX team GREAT JOB !! and ... MX Linux is on the top spot of the Distrowatch ranking ( if you select "the last 7 days) super !!
Here no problems with all heavy tweaking done even encrypted running at the moment, just one remark for the Dutch speaking ones among us, if you make a snapshot and choose to make a full copy, deselect "video's" , the name video's with the quote before the "s" remains there in the snapshot gui, even after deleting the video's folder in user/home en /home.
If i deselected the "video's", all worked perfect.
This release is really fast !! I told before MX LINUX RULES !!

To all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year already !!

Cooking up the newer kernels now; will take a while, even with a six core CPU.

It looks like the Debian Secure Boot solution requires the Debian Installer, though.

I think the info at: https://mxlinux.org/current-release-features
needs to be updated for MX-18, time permitting,
to agree with the release notes: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=131&t=47449
NOTE: Looks like pages are being worked on already.

[Jerry3904]

Yeah, I haven't done that page yet. Redid the Wikipedia entry though today, which required rewriting our MX Tools page so I could link to it and uploading a new desktop image--does that count? And reworked the HELP file for MX Updater with new image and the secret autoremove trick. And have redone the ISO list about 100 times...

So have faith.

[Richard]

Yes, I imagine there are a ton of details in wrapping up the new release.
Just was looking for something and found the anomaly. :)

MX-18 is really sweet. I installed the final ISO just to check it out.
The rc1 was working fine
as was the b1 that it replaced.
You all have done a great job, again.

I'm even starting to like the default wallpaper...

I'm even starting to like the default wallpaper...

Can you remind me what it is? I just upgraded the RC and and stayed with what I had. In fact what is the grub background and splash?
