MX-19.2 KDE RC 1 Feedback Thread

In MX Tools 'HIde individual tools from the menu' doesn't work. Didn't test that in the beta2.
Correction: it does work after restarting plasmashell.

You need to wait some secondes until the menu system gets itself updated.

Indeed, no restarting required.

One thing I would really like is if MX Updater could be set to show automatically in the system area settings without changing back to 'shown'. This is simply the most natural way to go about this in KDE (instead of having to click on 'Hide until updates available' each time). I know you already solved a few bugs with MX Updater, so great work there.

And I agree with m_pav in post 138 that MX Updater's History is simply the best there is. I'm often searching in /var/log/apt/history.log but this is way easier.

It's doing exactly this within my system. After login and about 6 seconds the mx-updater icon is shown in systray.
Can you check the Item line

Code: Select all

grep Items= ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

Also check auto-start is enabled (using right-click menu Prefrences) and disabled in saved session. There should be line
to disable "yakuake,conky,apt-notifier" with saved session.

I don't know if we're talking about the same thing. I only want mx-updater to be shown (on my panel) when there are updates, and hidden (but preferably in the 'system tray menu', and not as just a zombie process) when not. So like the 'Device Notifier' popping up when I plug in a USB drive, and hiding when nothing's plugged in. Is that what you mean?

Ah right, I misunderstood, and thought it's always hidden not visible. Will look into this one ... later

Hello dolphin_oracle
Just had a strange one time action. On power-up, RC installed just logged-in the user automatically. It is not set to do that. This one is at all defaults. First time in two decades that this has happened. The keyboard was stowed (and was yet) under the desk, so no chance I had logged-in.
Did a shutdown and power-on; it went to the dm as it should.

Just checked. It's working as designed. When no packages are available for updates, you can right click on the mx-updater icon and select "Hide until updates are available". The mx-updater icon will be completely hidden, not visible in the systray nore within "systray-hidden" section. When update becomes available the icon will be visible again.
EDIT: If you want to unhide it again, regardless of the update status, click MX Updater in the menu to unhide.

hello tony37
Thank You for writing to clarify the expected behavior of muon searchbox. My expectation of muon searchbox behavior agrees with your description.
On two installs of RC here, muon returns search result Only for Installed packages.
