MX-19 Beta 1 Feedback

[richb]

Compiz update:

Disabled compositing and set vBlank to xrender. I installed all the Compiz packages including emerald. I started Compiz with the fusion icon. Compiz works well.
There is the same glitch with the Simple Compiz Configurator. All functions work except setting the edges, They can be set in the full Compiz configuration application but harder to find and the indvidual "effects" are in different places.
Setting vBlank in the Compiz Configuration app without setting vBlank to xrender with MX Tweak did not work this time.
Bottom line is that a working Compiz can be achieved in MX 19.

Maybe set a different mirror for MX Repos from MX Repo Manager, and then

sudo apt update

again?

... I just hope to have Openastro back in the repository.

You got it. The new version works well.

Thank you, I've seen it and installed it, it works perfect.

Changed the repo, tried LA, tried Anycast, tried a few nearest to my location, after changing the repo, I went to terminal and set sudo apt update.
But still, I'm getting the same error when installing codecs.

Root Terminal disappeared?

Please elaborate. Your comment as it appears is not helpful to developers without more details.

so the error is not with mx-codecs. the error is with the nvidia-persistenced setup. Looks like its missing some pieces. I suggest reinstalling.
