MX-23 alpha2 feedback thread

[asqwerth]

is the text thing in the password only with a dark theme?

Tested with mx-comfort light theme. It didn't have this problem. All the dots that denote each entered text key showed up just fine.

@dolphin_oracle I think I found the answer. I see a difference between MX 21 Fluxbox and MX 23-a2 rsyslog.conf entries.


MX23-a2 rsyslog.conf

Code: Select all

# /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration file for rsyslog

The catch-all entry is not present in MX23-a2. There's also no debug file generated in MX23-a2 but is with Fluxbox.

I went ahead and backed up my rsyslog.conf file and copied over from Fluxbox the rsyslog file. I now have three new log files (daemon.log, debug, messages).

The .conf file is part of the package. I guess they made a defaults change. I’m unlikely to change the default but at least we know the why

@Jerry3904 Touchpad-indicator is now in the main MX-23 repo.
It isn't being maintained anymore. I had to patch it to use AtayanaAppIndicator instead of AppIndicator which isn't in bookworm.
The manual portion of it works fine. The automatic disable touchpad when mouse is plugged in and disable touchpad when typing options do not.
There's obviously been some change in mouse/touchpad handling since bullseye.

@siamhie Corectrl 1.3.5 is now in the MX-23 main repo.

[Jerry3904]

Thanks a lot! Too bad about lack of maintenance, it's pretty useful for WMs.

[timkb4cq]

Correction. If use libinput driver for touchpad is selected in mx-tweak the disable touchpad when typing does work.

Great! Then we'll have to specify that, I guess.

[dolphin_oracle]

I didn't do it on the alpha, but i've been thinking of shipping libinput only by default. removing the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics touchpad driver (which is no longer developed) and xserver-xorg-input-evdev as well. most of the dialogs now pretty much expect libinput and I know that things like reverse scrolling work better on libinput.
