MX-23 beta 1 feedback thread

[Jerry3904]

Oops: I was posting that on my MX-21.3, will correct.

On the subject of the fluxbox init file, is anybody else seeing this behavior?
- manually edit init file and save (eg. change session.screen0.slit.autoHide: false to true)
- fluxbox menu > leave > refresh
- edit to init file gets overwritten/reverted

Changing the fluxbox-remote commands in the menu-mx file from
fluxbox-remote reloadstyle; fluxbox-remote reconfigure
to the old command
fluxbox-remote restart
leaves the edited init file as is.

Re: fluxbox-remote
Does nobody else have this issue?

[Jerry3904]

Good to refresh our collective memory--will test now.

If I follow your steps using a different command (session.screen0.slit.maxOver: false) then I do not see that problem.

Yes. I can duplicate it. Reverting back to fluxbox-remote restart fixes it.

Hmmn, presume siamhie tried session.screen0.slit.autoHide: too.

Re: Fluxbox Dock unhide not working

Adding this to the overlay file seems to have fixed the issue for me without the need for bevel color/transparency adjustment

Code: Select all

Slit.borderWidth: 0
Slit.bevelWidth: 0

Very strange that this bug only seems to affect 1366x768 screens.
Unhiding works fine for docks with borders in mxfb21.3 on the same machine.

Oh well, looks like it's auf Wiedersehen dock border...

I guess that's right; I'll wait for a PR from you.

I can say it is not just 1366x768 screens.

I have installed kwin-wayland package and all its dependencies to login into wayland session. But there is no entry for selecting desktop session in Sddm.
I tried this even booting through systemd, but still there is no entry in sddm for selecting desktop session.

should be lower left hand corner.

make sure plasmsa-workspace-wayland is installed.

Thanks @dolphin_oracle, installing plasmsa-workspace-wayland solved the issue.
