Re: MX-23 beta 1 feedback thread

#401 Post by slayd »

I've tried both the 23 KDE and 23 XFCE.

When I install the distro, I get to a place in the reboot after successful install where it gives me 2 choices:
== enter root password
== Ctrl-D to continue

If I Ctrl-D, I will finally get to a log in screen for my new user. My user password will be accepted, but I'm returned to the log in screen to try again. I never get past the log in screen.

If I enter the root password when I get the choice during reboot, I will get the root prompt. If I check /etc/passwd, I see my new user is there. If I check to see the directories under /home, there are none. /home/my_new_user was never created during installation. So there is no desktop to load, etc.

I've tried this a few times. I've monitored the log during installation - nothing appears to be wrong

Has anyone else had this problem?

When trying to install Debian 64 bit 5.10 kernel the MXPI shows an already installed icon. See below. Replicated on a MX23 Beta 1 Live USB.

MX Boot Options disagrees with MXPI. See below

Image

So I tried the MXPI Reinstall button. Show Details says 6.1.27.-1 Huh? See below.

Click OK gives MXPI log below. Notice we're back to 6.1.0-9 agreeing with MX Boot Options.

Please ignore the rtl8821ce stuff, a failed attempt at getting a free WiFi adapter working.

no but it sounds like your home folder is not in use or present.

do you have the /var/log/minstall.log file?

Re: MX-23 beta 1 feedback thread

#406 Post by zebedeeboss »

Hi,
Not sure if this is a Beta problem or a generic Debian one.

I have an AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper 2950X, TR4, Zen+, 16 Core, 32 Thread, 3.5GHz, 4.4GHz Turbo, 32MB Cache, 64 Lanes, where as the MX Welcome Screen / About reports 8 core (seen below the ls one) with QSI below that also reporting 8 core.

I can confirm the 3 minute waiting time for tzdata. Maybe I should have been a little more patient in that case.

for me the virtualbox conffile question is displaying, but maybe its not always...
Albeit this problem apparently is a thing, too, since the first time it showed the conffile question and the second time it did hang right where the question was supposed to pop up.

While nala is great, I'm leaning a little towards using pure apt in a terminal once I make the switch to MX 23. The nicer GUI for me isn't worth risking a broken update :bagoverhead:
(that said, both VMs run fine and apt shows no errors even after Ctrl+CCing nala)
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hello Melber
install lazpaint.
A lazpaint way to create interim svg idesk icons.
sample script swaps red and blue, then saves to a appsidesk directory (sample uses /usr/share/icons/Papirus/48x48/appsidesk/);
root terminal run script; paste into the entrytextbox the path to your favorite icon; any icon png or svg Type, the script converts to svg.

Carry on
Using lazpaint the other direction to convert Papirus svg to png, then there is no Transparency problem. That is back to the way previous to idesk make use of svg. Using lazpaint for that is lazpaint plus in and out filenames.
<lazpaint /full/filename/input.svg /full/filename/output.png>
command will convert svg to output.png.

Take a screenshot <lazpaint -screenhsot 0>

Due to reports by some user about "nala hangs" within "MX Updater", we will revert to apt within "MX Updater".
User are still encouraged to manually enable nala within ~/.config/MX-Linux/apt-notifier.conf
and provide detailed report in case of any hanger.

@i_ri @Jerry3904
I don't think it's just the red and blue channels, all colours are getting shifted and not just inverted.
It seems idesk just can't render svgs properly.
Could we build a check into mx-idesktools and if the selcted icon is an svg, save a png copy to ~/.idesktools/icons and use that png icon instead? Svg>png conversion could be done with rsvg rather than needing to install lazpaint.
