The errors are from the Microsoft package mde-netfilter. MS assumes you are running debian or Ubuntu with systemd running. They haven't included a Sysvinit style initscript to start their service, only a systemd one.
If you really want to use mde-netfilter, you need to reboot into systemd mode and run

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure -a
Then use the MX Boot options applet to change your default boot to systemd.
