The softmaker.com repos are not official Debian or MX repos. We can't guarantee that the softmaker.com repos will work, and if something breaks, we may not be able to support them.

However it sounds like you don't have a public key for those repos installed. You need to get the public key for those repos from SoftMaker and install it using sudo apt key add <gpg-key-file> and then run sudo apt update to sync it all up.

Installing the Atom .deb file from there

https://atom.io/

solves the error from appearing during updates but I guess still needs to be resolved in the MX Package Installer

Thanks - I do understand that - however you are proving the installation process via the MX Package Installer - so that method should work? Should it not ?

I encountered a little looks thing, moved the panel to the bottom and got this. The wired Synaptic icon behaved the same way.

Yep, this has happened through the Alphas as well, but nothing tried so far has fixed it.

The installation process via MX Package Installer should work, and by all means if your package presents an issue with MXPI then please report it to us as well as what package you're trying to install.
However because the package comes from a foreign (non-Debian, non-MX repo), once it's installed, we can try to help to a limited extent, but we can't guarantee any results.

Problem adding font Chicago.ttf (both for the whole system and the single user): it displays little rectangles instead of letters...
