MX-23 alpha2 feedback thread

it will be OK. the feature is deprecated, but still present for now.

Good to know. In case I happen to come across a post in the FB group, I'll pass this info along.

when I use system-keyboard-qt to set a system keyboard, X either crashes and restarts or X restarts. Not sure what's going on, is anyone else seething that?

I've got it narrowed down to this line of code that systemd-keyboard-qt uses to reload input device.

Code: Select all

udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change

[dolphin_oracle]

actually just

Code: Select all

 udevadm trigger 

will crash X.

I pushed up a change to system-keyboard-qt that avoids the udevadm trigger command. it works, but lightdm won't pick up the change until a reboot/restart of lightdm. I assume similar for the other display managers.

Thanks for looking at this--I will enjoy testing once it's released.

are you OK with the strings in tweak's panel scale gui? I would like to get translations going.

I'll look right after I finish my chicken soup.

On the Display tab, I suggest a couple of simplifications is all:

Xrandr << Only that word = consistent with above list of nouns and does not repeat title elements at top
--[indent] following 3 lines
--do not repeat "xrandr"

Cannot confirm. At least justed tested in LiveSession with not yet upgraded and kept
this version system-keyboard-qt 23.04.02
it would change immediately without any crash.
just like "sudo udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change"
would do after manual changing /etc/defaul/keyboard layout.
Maybe a systemd thing?

I'm not running systemd.

running the manual command crashes my X server complete and lightdm restarts. Now, I have made a ton of changes to this machine and its not exactly clean at the moment, but it was every time.

I'll try a different machine.
