I've seen this when the update process files the entire terminal window, but not every time.

the update of ntpsec takes an epic amount of time.
The issue seems to be related to ntpsec - not to nala.
When starting here in VM,
ntpd is running, but with either an empty /run/ntpd.pid or with a pid which does not exists.
Now when tzdata get upgraded, it triggers a restart of ntpsec -service to restart ntpd,
by fist stopping the daemon with

Code: Select all

service ntpsec stop
which appears to be successfully finished.
But due to the wrong or missing pid in /run/ntpd.pid
ntpd is still running, which can be manually checked after reboot with:

Code: Select all

sudo service ntpsec stop
Stopping NTP server: ntpd.

sudo service ntpsec status
NTP server is running.
tzdata upgrade triggers a restart and hangs b/c it cannot start the already running ntpd.
It hangs exactly 3 minutes to establish a flock with flock -w 180 , due to this start clause,
in /etc/init.d/ntpsec:

Code: Select all

start)
    log_daemon_msg "Starting NTP server" "ntpd"
    (
        flock -w 180 9
        # shellcheck disable=SC2086
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --pidfile $PIDFILE --startas $DAEMON -- -p $PIDFILE $NTPD_OPTS
    ) 9>$LOCKFILE
    log_end_msg $?
    ;;
The hanger can be checked with either apt or nala:
nala-hangs-on-tzdata-ntpsec.jpg
apt-hangs-on-tzdata-ntpsec.jpg
Seems related to network if-up:

Code: Select all

ps aux | grep ntpd
root        2057  0.0  0.0   2576   108 ?        S    11:00   0:00 /bin/sh /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpsec-ntpdate
ntpsec      2101  0.1  0.0  84572 18932 ?        SLs  11:00   0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /run/ntpd.pid -c /etc/ntpsec/ntp.conf -g -N -u ntpsec:ntpsec

xfce 64bit

Hi,
now I have the problem for the second time:
I start virt-manager (previously I added myself to the group "libvirt" and started libvirtd), start MX21xfce live-iso, start the installation. The VM stops at 15%, I could just give the computer name. The mouse moved only stuttering, but slower than slow motion. Keyboard input was no longer accepted. I could not close any windows either. Ctrl+Alt+Del did not help either.
I had to turn off the laptop without shutting down.

After rebooting the laptop and logging in as user, I got a popup that wanted the password for root to run xkill. I didn't give this password during the installation and so it doesn't work. As user I can not run sudo: I get the message that I am not in the sudoers file.

Before the crash, my user password worked fine.

I can't explain it to myself.

What can I provide you (besides QSI) so that you can possibly find something with your trained eyes and knowledge.
As I said, it happened for the second time now.

Thank you very much in advance.

Edit 1: The brightness buttons for the screen on the keyboard no longer work either. I do get the popup for the brightness control, but nothing is changed. I have to use the brightness systray.

Edit 2: I think it has something to do with btrfs. I had such a problem also once under Spiral Linux and VirtualBox.
My technical understanding is very minimal, but if I imagine that a VM wants to create an ext4 filesystem on a btrfs host system that it will cause problems there.

Would be nice if I could get some "enlightenment" from you guys ;-)

My plan is to start a fresh install with ext4.
Another one that the fever of MX Linux grabbed :happy:

KDE Connect has similar problems as SAMBA with default firewall settings as noted in earlier comment viewtopic.php?p=726569#p726569.

While it's probably a nice thing to have firewall on by default, maybe there could be a more verbose info about the possible side effects with regularly used services in release docs? This way it might not come as a surprise for many who are used to having firewall off by default. And while it probably would be an overkill solution, maybe even open ports by default if user installs Samba, KDE Connect etc?

In my case after couple tries failing to connect a device with KDE Connect I figured this out while skimming through it's FAQ pointing to add following ufw rules:

Code: Select all

sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/udp
sudo ufw allow 1714:1764/tcp
sudo ufw reload

Good job with the release! Seems promising so far as some deal breaking problems with KDE Desktop version have been ironed out since MX21 / Bullseye.

Clementine (installed from MXPI):
From Plank, pressing the Icon, opens Clementine on the Panel (Left) ONLY.
So, to get the GUI, I need to press on the Icon in the Panel.
All my other Icons in Plank open the GUI application, but not for Clementine:

Here, you can see that there is NO DOT under the Clementine Plank Icon:
clementine_no_dot_in_plank.png
But, on the Panel, you can see that Clementine is activated:
clementine_in_panel.png
I know, a VERY minor issue, since when I click-on the icon in the panel, the Clementine GUI opens.

However, I do not have this issue in MX-21.3 (Xfce & KDE).

hello dolphin_oracle Jerry3904
mx-idesktool
Check for running instance is present.

Can? What is the failure factor? of sample
ADD Bring to Focus idesktool running instance
?. with wmctrl -R (?) is it okay?

line 93

Code: Select all

## Ensure only one instance of this script is running
me="$(basename "$0")";
running=$(ps h -C "${me}" | grep -wv $$ | wc -l);
[[ $running > 1 ]] && wmctrl -R "${TEXT5}" && exit;

Clementine not opening in Plank (no dot under icon):
clementine_no_dot.png
Clementine in panel:
clementine_in_panel.png
So, again, VERY minor issue, as I can open the Clementine GUI from the panel icon.

It would just be nice that it opens from Plank, as it does properly in MX21.3
