I put the xfce .iso on a Ventoy USB. I got as far as the boot menus. I changed the time zone and when I tried to boot I got:

Fatal error
could not find file antiX/linuxfs

It might be a Ventoy problem. Booting the .iso from VirtualBox worked nromally.

Both Strawberry and DeadBeef are included. Is this intentional?

I put the xfce .iso on a Ventoy USB. I got as far as the boot menus. I changed the time zone and when I tried to boot I got:

Fatal error
could not find file antiX/linuxfs

It might be a Ventoy problem. Booting the .iso from VirtualBox worked nromally.

this is due to the way ventoy identifies the mx iso. due to changes in systemd, we had to rename a file that ventoy happens to use to ID MX and antiX. we've sent a patch to the ventoy devs, but they have not incorporated it into a new release yet.

Not my intention, thanks. @m_pav @dolphin_oracle Strawberry should be left out of MX Fluxbox following general OS concept.

[ceeslans]

Here are some initial remarks re MX-Fluxbox beta1

Error messages in ~/.xsession-errors
----------------
Fluxbox is logging a long list of 'Failed to read: session.*' values in ~/.session-errors.
Solution Add these variables to ~/.fluxbox/init as suggested by @siamhie

Code: Select all

session.screen0.struts: 0,0,0,0
session.screen0.struts.1: 0,0,0,0
session.screen0.iconbar.iconifiedPattern: Relative 

There is a warning re language locale: "Warning: Failed to open file(fluxbox.cat). For translation, using default messages."
This can be resolved by executing following commands:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/share/fluxbox/nls
sudo ln -is en_US.UTF-8 $(locale | grep LANG | cut -d= -f2)

Also seeing following warning in ~/.xsession/errors (probably also fluxbox-related):

Code: Select all

WARNING: More than one Desktop window found:
        0x 1200036   3            
        0x 1200021   3            
        0x 1200008   3     

Tried to google for possible causes/solutions, but didn't find any....

And finally various (harmless?) messages:
- rtkit- and libcamera related errors after pipewire startup
- xfce4-clipman errors

~/.fluxbox/apps
-------------
Suggest to reduce the number of entries to installed applications only. And clean out double/incomplete entries.

Default dock (wmalauncher)
-------------
Default dock is NOT showing up on session start. following errors appear (one by one) in ~/.xsession.errors

Code: Select all

--background-color: Argument '<COLOR|GRADIENT>' is missing.
--border-color: Argument '<COLOR|GRADIENT>' is missing.
--hover-background-color: Argument '<COLOR|GRADIENT>' is missing.
--hover-border-color: Argument '<COLOR|GRADIENT>' is missing.

These arguments could instead be added to the TTIPS+ items

Also, mxdk script is missing a sed command, something like:

Code: Select all

#set up slit location
sed -i 's/^session.screen0.slit.placement:.*/session.screen0.slit.placement: LeftCenter/' $HOME/.fluxbox/init

Presumably mx-dockmaker has not been updated yet to set the above?

mxfb-font
-------------
Not yet updated to 230526 version?
As it is now, selecting the gtk-font does not execute the requested change.

mxfb-appfinder
-------------
Some applications show up without icon:
- MX apps: Background/Font/MX-User-Manual/Tint2-Manager
- non MX : Grsync/Py-Loader
Perhaps set fallback-icon option in ~/.config/rofi/themes/appfinder/mxfb-appfinder.rasi:

Code: Select all

application-fallback-icon: "/usr/share/icons/Papirus/symbolic/mimetypes/application-x-executable-symbolic.svg";

mx-idesktool
-------------
Needs to be updated to allow (additional?) setting of *.svg icons and width/height

tint2
------------
Launching mxfb-appfinder from default tint2 looks great (though perhaps a bit oversized).
But calling mxfb-appfinder from elsewhere-positioned and/or otherwise-colored/transparent panel should open mxfb-appfinder (or an alternative rofi appfinder) in a neutral position --> centered ??

sort order folders-first
------------
When searching files/folders in e.g texteditors, preferably show folders-first before files :

Code: Select all

open dconf editor --> org --> gtk --> settings --> file-chooser
scroll down to 'sort-directories-first --> set Custom value to: True
Then hit the clock icon in top-right corner and select 'Apply' 

EDIT: Sorry @Eadwine Rose , here's the obligatory QSI:

QSI please, thanks!

Your installer is still dated, confusing and difficult to use. Why not switch to the user-friendly Calamares installer which is available on other distros including Debian? I have used it many times and it's a pleasure to work with.

The only quirk I have found so far is that on this laptop if the mouse receiver is not plugged into the third usb slot (from the front), you will be stuck in a reboot loop. With MX 21, only inserting the mouse receiver into the first (of three) usb ports caused this behaviour. Now both the first and second usb ports are affected.
