I completely uninstalled the Openastro application and restarted it. Look for the package libcanberra-gtk-module in MXIP and it is neither in stable nor in the test repository. In the package manager Muon tells me that it is installed and so does Synaptic with version 0.30-7. I try again to install Openastro including the option Also Install "recommended" packages and when running it by graphical mode it follows the same empty screen without the corresponding graphics.
When I run it through the terminal the result is this:

#262 Post by srq2625 »

I attempted to read the entire thread, but ... well, it is 26 pages long.

Anyway, because I wasn't able to read the entire thread, I don't know if this has been posted or not. But, I thought this might be of interest.

I got the attached output when installing the nVidia driver using the wonder MX supplied tool.

-->EDIT TO ADD: TL;DR - I think this is the same "canberra-gtk-module" issue as noted below, but as I'm not even close to being a Linux dev, I have no real idea. Note that I do have available to me (but is not installed) libcanberra-gtk3-module.

Code: Select all

$ apt policy libcanberra-gtk3-mo*
libcanberra-gtk3-module:

As one can see from my QSI, the nVidia driver(s) did install:

My apologies, it probably doesn't show in MXPI because you have to uncheck the "Hide library and developer packages" in the lower right of screen.

can you also check for libcanberra-gtk3-module?
Notice the 3 in the name.

I believe it is related a GTK3 issue, but don't know where or what yet.

I don't know if this is a thing to be concerned about but ....

I can (and have) run the KDE Partition Manager directly from the menu and modify/delete/create partitions and the partition table of any device attached to the computer WITHOUT having to first enter a password to elevate privileges.

When I install and run gparted, it does (as I think it should) prompt me for the appropriate password before it will finish loading.

Most Kde tools do it that way and only ask for a password before the action is performed.

Hi All,

Running the latest MX Beta. 2 Oddities / questions:
First, I've set the disable mouse while typing to - almost anything. I think it's now set at 500 ms. But STILL often my cursor ends up somewhere else and I'm typing where I don't intend to, while actively typing (ie it's not like I pause - just right in the middle of a sentence I see my typing is now in like a previous paragraph. I'm pretty sure I may be accidentally hitting the touchpad - it's a laptop. Any other setting I'm missing?

Second is DNS - I have MX on a LAN with a few other Windows machines. From each machine, I can ping the local name - IE my desktop is called DESKTOP, I have a NUC called NUC, etc. From desktop, I can PING NUC and it resolves - to NUC.local. On the MX (laptop), I can't ping / resolve without adding .local. Is there a way to force this in for local machines?
My /etc/resolv.conf has
nameserver 192.168.1.1 (this is correct)
search local mx.local

I've tried removing mx.local from the resolv.conf, but as soon as I reboot, it's back.

Any suggestions / hints?

Thanks!

Half a second seems too short a time to me to keep the pad disabled while typing, unless you never stop typing for even half a second.

@fehlix and @SwampRabbit
I have done all the steps indicated, this application in XFCE always worked well but now in MX-KDE it doesn't show the graphics.
