MX-19 Beta 1 Feedback

[fehlix]

Root Terminal disappeared?

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

It's not in the system, I can't find it anywhere...

Seems "Root Terminal" menu entry didn't made into beta-1.

for you guys with the nvidia-persistenced problem, I think just remove it for now.

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge nvidia-persistenced -s

and if it looks like your system will survive then run it again without the -s.

once debian settles down you can reinstall it.

*bookmarks page* I'll get back to this tomorrow I think, should be sorted by then I wager.

Thanks Dolphin I was about to post this on the forums, I found another bug (idk if you would call it a bug), when you install Chromium from the MX Package Manager and also from the Terminal you can't open Chromium till you install chromium-sandbox. Probably need to add that line in the MX Package Manager.

Other than that Dolphin awesome MX 19 beta really loving it

I rebooted, nvidia still working, no errors. I did a synaptic reload on the repositories, no updates, no nvidia error messages. the nvidia-persistenced shows as installed in synaptic version 418.74.

Still no samba shares on the home network, which usually happens automagically!
Any ideas on this? Does anyone have samba shares on their network?

Have you tried installing something else already?

Nothing seemed amiss until I did that and found out. If you don't get that error then it's at least sorted on your end :)

Can anyone see samba shares on your local network?
I usually see a windows 7 machine I can log into shares. No configuration needed, it is there in the file manager, Network, browse network.
I click the Windows network icon, and I get smb:///

Yes, same here.

OK, so all my testing (antix 19 beta , MX 19 beta) - I do on a fourth partition, so I can boot back to my working MX 18.3 and see hwo it is working.
In response to smb://mshome/, which produces a list of machines on the network, including the windows 7 machine, which I can log in to.

Instead the beta displays a pop up window stating: Failed to open "File System"
Failed to retrieve share list from server: Success."

Hmmm, does not sound like success to me.

On a better note, I really like the FAQ. It is great for those new to MX, well written.
