MX-21 KDE/plasma RC1 feedback

[Gerson]

It happens to me that if I have files in the /home partition and I cut to paste them in my backup partition, I get a message saying: "Access denied to /media/Files/..." (see image) However the action is fulfilled, but they are still grayed out in /home (second image). If I change directory, when I come back; they have already been deleted from the sending folder and are still in the destination folder. The annoying thing is the message that appears and the gray color of the files, otherwise the files are changed and are not damaged. (third image)

The Print key works fine on T430 but I was left staring at the Ksnip?
Tried New and it became a Screen capture app.
Obviously, been a long time since I used KDE.

Yeah I have been getting that auto reconnect bug, how odd.
Its too bad it can't get fixed without manual intervention, it's not a terrible issue nor a dealbreaker, but still very strange it can't get fixed by the MX team at this point (shrugs)

I am not complaining mind you, but I never had this issue with other KDE distros that use sudo.
It even works with sparkylinux's recent release, maybe the MX devs could see what they did to circumnavigate this?
Not saying sparky is better mind you, but when i gave it a spin with its recent Sparky 6.0 “Po Tolo” release it auto reconnected.
Since I am no developer or coder I have no idea how they fixed it but it is worth investigating since sparkylinux 6.0 and MX21 share the same debian bullseye base.

Hello i am new in this Forum!
I am not sure if it is there by default but although i created a root user during the installation process i have only one administrator user the user i created as normal user!
In KDE settings i ve tried to create a new root user but is impossible! No error at all!

Thanks in advance

I think you posted in the wrong sub forum there matey.
Are you using MX 19?

[sthras]

No MX-21 KDE/plasma RC1

[sthras]

In /etc/passwd there is a root user but kde use only as administrator the normal user i have already created!

[MadmanRB]

okay then, did you enable sudo?

Re missing shutdown icon in menu

Needless to say I don't see this behavior either in Live or Installed...

Neither do I.

Flatpaks not working in the KDE RC1. I installed Freetube from there in the Beta version so I know it used to work on my computer.

On that note, it seems some packages are missing from the MX Package Installer. Notably Steam (can be installed via the Popular Applications tab though) and VeraCrypt. Synaptic's not installed either, though I'm not sure if that's intended or not. Doing an apt-get install for VeraCrypt also results in it finding nothing.

By the way, no, I didn't touch the default respositories.

Steam in Debian is a 32 bit package and sometimes gets filtered out by default. Try installing steam:i386

Assuming that is the issue, how can I remove that 32 bit filter? (By the way, I did get Steam installed already with the Popular Applications tab.) Also, VeraCrypt is not listed in the Flatpaks tab either.

In any case, the really good news though is that MX21 is working super beautifully for me. the missing packages seem to be the only problem. 21 even fixed a minor issue of KDE desktop screen tearing I was experiencing before with 19.4.
