MX-23 RC2 (Xfce) feedback thread

#1 Post by dolphin_oracle »

This thread is for feedback and issue reports MX-23 RC 2 (Xfce)

MX-23 (Xfce) RC 2 isos are now available.

***Please be sure to update the installer before running installs. The installer is being updated post-RC2 release***

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo apt install mx-installer
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mx-lin ... ting/Xfce/

Be sure to include the quick-system-info with your report.

If posting nvidia-installer (ddm-mx) issues, please post the contents of /var/log/ddm.log.
If posting remaster issues, please include the contents of /var/log/live/live-remaster.log
If posting installer issues, please include the contents of /var/log/minstall.log
If posting issues with MX-PackageInstaller “Popular Apps”, please post contents of /var/log/mxpi.log or /var/log/mxpi.log.old (whichever contains the log of your issue).

By the way, the gui for quick-system-info now has a pretty nice log viewer function.

if posting about an application, please be specific on what application.

So do we re-post issues we had with RC1 that were not answered/dealt with, and are still there after going to RC2, or will the devs be going back through the old RC1 thread?
Thanks.

Thanks.
You can do either. The old threads are locked now but still viewable.

The only difference in the two is the installer.

Hello all

I have a problem with the MX installer from the RC2 ISO. After I select my NVME and leave the partitioning to the installer, it aborts at 9% with the message that it could not create the partitions. On the NVME i had a Linux MX 21.3 Installtion. On the second try i have deleted with GParted all the partition. The result was the same.

Here is the extract from the mdinstall.log:

I downloaded MX23RC1 AHS 64 bit XFCE ISO, checked the sha256, created a USB stick using MX Live-USB Maker and installed onto a blank Intel ssd in a Panasonic CF-31Mk3.

There were no issues with the install, although the install mechanism seems to be slower that with previous installs. That is the reason I included the minstall log.

Everything seems to work okay so far other than the sound. I select the sound card in the MX Tools app 'Select Sound' but there is no sound when I run the 'Test current sound card' after clicking the 'Apply' button.I connect my Altec Lansing bluetooth speaker and sound works, disconnect the AL speaker and no sound.
The sound issue has been ongoing and I was hoping the issue would be gone. Previously, I would edit the analog-output-speaker.conf file. The file was previously found at usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/ but is now found at /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/paths/. Should I edit the file or wait to hear from one of the devs?
Thanks.
EDIT: I updated/upgraded to RC2 using apt update and apt-get upgrade.END EDIT

I have a problem with the MX installer from the RC2 ISO. After I select my NVME and leave the partitioning to the installer, it aborts at 9% with the message that it could not create the partitions. On the NVME i had a Linux MX 21.3 Installtion. On the second try i have deleted with GParted all the partition. The result was the same.

Here is the extract from the mdinstall.log:

Opened the Volume Control app and selected the Configuration tab. The Profile: drop down menu arrow on the right end of the drop down menu window is not visable until you grab the right side of the Volume Control app window and move it to the right, almost 3" on my unit.

This is how I got the sound to work on my unit, FYI:

Code: Select all

1) Open Terminal
2) sudo gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker.conf
#the path needs to be changed in newer distros to /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/paths/
3) In the analog-output-speaker.conf file,
CHANGE:
[Element Headphone]
switch = off
volume = off
TO:
[Element Headphone]
switch = off
volume = merge
override-map.1 = all
override-map.2 = all-left,all-right
CHANGE:
[Element Speaker]
required-any = any
switch = mute
volume = merge
override-map.1 = all
override-map.2 = all-left,all-right
TO:
[Element Speaker]
required-any = any
switch = mute
volume = off
4) Save
5) Open Terminal
7) sudo reboot
Now the sound works without an external speaker.

I noticed that the SD activity LED does NOT start to blink constantly until the MX logo is displayed as the unit boots.

Installation failed :(

Please see the attached screenshot. Installer wasnt allowing me to copy text. Dont know if there are any other ways to copy logs, but I couldnt figure it out.

Bugzilla doesnt have entry for the RC2 version to report issues.

I tried custom partitioning, dual booting with Windows. Screenshot of the last screen showing my partition layout is also attached. At first I tried partitioning with encrypted root, which failed and subsequently tried without encryption, which failed as well.

If you use Ventoy to create the install drive, you must upgrade to the latest version. the earlier versions of Ventoy are incompatible with MX 23.

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.
