MX-23 alpha2 feedback thread

[siamhie]

could testers please remove the following packages, reboot, and see if your keyboards, mice, touchpads, etcc... still operate?

xserver-xorg-input-evdev
xserver-xorg-input-kbd
xserver-xorg-input-mouse
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

that should leave xserver-xorg-input-libinput installed and taking over from the legacy drivers.

Keyboard (wired Keychron K3) and mouse (Logitech) still works.

hello dolphin_oracle

touchpad and keyboard are normal after.

Even my QSI doesn't show the additional boot parameters (amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff).

/etc/smartd.conf same, which I need to put a device scan adjustment line into to scan once every five hours rather than the default five minutes.

Just dragging up an older comment from me here. I have checked in the syslog and it puts an output in there every half hour. Better than the five minutes that it was, but still, when you have syslog displaying in conky and four drives... that is a big output that isn't needed that often:

I used to change the line in /etc/smartd.conf

Code: Select all

DEVICESCAN -d removable -n standby -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner

to

Code: Select all

DEVICESCAN -i 18000 -d removable -n standby -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner

so it would only scan every five hours.

Is there an alternative location to put that in, since /etc/smartd.conf doesn't exist anymore?

Testing software to be installed.

MXPI megasync:

Code: Select all

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 megasync : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Downloaded the highest, 11, from their site, same thing, so 11 doesn't work on Bookworm.

Then downloaded the one in testing https://mega.nz/linux/repo/Debian_testi ... _amd64.deb

That installs without issues and works (haven't tested yet, but it installing without probs is better than it not installing ) so the entry in MXPI needs adjusting.

hello dolphin_oracle , mxfluxbox, xfce4-panel , tint2 , mx dock, (added idesk)

Removed above; all worked OK.
