MX-19 Beta 1 Feedback

[Gerson]

I bring a comment from the Spanish forum on Google Earth:

Let's get an English translation. You mean this?

Hello Gerson: because of your suggestion, I directly upgraded to MX Linux 19 Beta 1.
I was able to enable recovery mode in the Grub, no problem.
Still not working the latest Google Earth 7.3, which installs correctly.
The Nvidia Legacy driver is not available for my card.
Google Earth 7.1 that works, can not be installed for lack of dependencies, which I downloaded from
Jessie's repo: lsb-core lsb-invalid lsb-securityy and so I could install.
Greetings.

OK, let me know if you need me to do anything on my end.

will do.

I think the problem is in udisks2. nemo has same problem, and gives same error.

FYI, unfortunately the power button on my desktop's case (or more likely its wires) failed this afternoon so I won't be able to do anymore testing until I can move the motherboard, PSU, drives, fans etc. to a spare case that I have. I hope to be able to do that over the weekend.

I just used MX Package Installer to install GE, and it works fine here.

The live image works fine under QEMU/KVM, the new qxl video drivers mean that it should also work in gnome-boxes.

There is no GTK+ 3 configuration for either the theme or icons, this seems to be a peculiarity of the Xfce settings manager with no ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file at all.

Overall, Beta 1 has been very smooth. Have come across one nasty little glitch however, the lspci program creates a blank terminal screen-runaway/lockup/unresponsive condition. This is called from the main menu's "Quick System Info" (inxi-Fxrz).

luks: can someone check to see if libblockdev-crypto2 is installed by default?

there's apparently a problem with sgfxi. :/

Unfortunate - but at least it's not something I am doing wrong
