dolphin_oracle's respins (updated June 23, 2024)

We told Stevo about it and he kindly backported 1.32 to testing.
The sound issue was only a glitch it seems, since it's worked well after that. I'll be interested to see what the pipewire fix brings.
The 'quiet splash' is working now as well but something's overriding the /e/d/grub file and subsequent update-grub. Disabling os-prober in grub using:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="true"

has no effect. Still runs and detects other OSes. Update-grub doesn't display the traditional warnings about it being on/off either. I will play around with it a bit more before I download the newer iso. Many thanks again.

that is not a spin issue. we went out of our way to keep os-prober enabled because debian goes out of their way to disable os-prober.

towards teh bottom of the /etc/default/grub file you should see this:

Code: Select all

#comment out the below line to allow the above GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER to be toggled off manually
if [ -e /etc/default/grub.mx-defaults ]; then
     .  /etc/default/grub.mx-defaults
fi
#comment out the above lines to allow the above GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER to be toggled off manually

so comment out those lines, and the GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true will be followed.

Thanks for that. I managed to edit the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober file instead and removed the overrides. Also added in the warnings. Everything's back the way I like.

I just mentioned it in case somebody else had an issue with it.

I've got to say though, feels really smooth, looks gorgeous.

MX 23 sysVinit-only resipin is up, Full version of MX-23 64 bit, with systemd removed. elogind, libelogind, and libpam-elogind are utilized to fill those session management requirements.

Link to my mx-23 based respins is in the first post.

I noticed libsystemd-shared is installed. What does it do?

I don't know, maybe just some cleanup.

I purged it and everything seems to be working ok.

... noticed libsystemd-shared is installed. What does it do?

Package: libsystemd-shared

systemd shared private library

This internal shared library provides common code used by various systemd components. It is supposed to decrease memory and disk footprint. The shared library is not meant for public use and is not API or ABI stable.

I updated the sysVinit only spin to remove the library, although its just a library and doesn't do anything on its own.

Many thanks DO. Lean & mean!
