MX-23 alpha2 feedback thread

Notifications are HUMONGOUS, at least 3 x the size of those in 21.3!!

We cater to those who need glasses.



Seriously though: I found them big as well.

Without corectrl
fan1: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3600 RPM)

With corectrl
fan1: 966 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3600 RPM)

Seems like without corectrl fan is not spinning?

More like without the value cannot be read.

So far for me after many attempts I still have not seen the alpha completely booting.. first few times I tried it got part way then errored out stating it could not find the kernel and left me with continue, reboot, and something else for options.. changed the usb I was using 3rd fresh download and.. looked like it was all doing things, then black screen with computer still running fine keyboard responding etc.. Im using an Nvidia 3060ti on a displayport connection here, have not tried running an hdmi cable yet.. but I will keep trying unless anyone has a better idea :)

can't gather a quick info for obvious reasons lol or it would be posted here (well, I wouldn't actually have to post :) )

I'm using MX usb creator

QSI from MX-21.3 would help.
You might not need another download, try a different flashdrive (also try the one you created on a different computer if you have access to one to get an idea if there's a hardware incompatibility or a problem with the flashdrive).

On both my old RX 580 and new RX 6700 XT the fans don't spin until the GPU hits a certain temperature/load (can't remember what it was).
I don't care for their quiet mode so with corectrl, I have the fans running at 25% at idle and set up a manual curve.

[Eadwine Rose]

Ohhh interesting! Did not know you could do that :)

It a great little tool. You can also control the fan curve for CPU's. I've got the BIOS handling my CPU which is why the tab is greyed up top.

I noticed two things running my custom conky:
/etc/initrd_release is now /etc/initrd-release
positioning of the conky icons is off (vertically cca -5% comparing to MX21)

Haven't had time to test it thoroughly, but looks pretty solid to me.

Some of the stuff I usually install from MX's own repos, eg qmplay and ksnip, are not there yet, naturally.
I'll only put in a package request after mx23 is released.

Qmplay2 has been in the main repo since the middle of March.
I just added nomacs.
