MX-23 Raspberry Pi comes out of the garage

looking at a few adjustments:

rpiOS now package firefox. they are up to 119 version. bringing it in force installs pipewire, but doesn't remove pulseaudio, so looking at removing pulseaudio and going with pipewire, same as on other releases. seems to work OK on the pi400.

also thinking to replace nm-tray with the full nm-applet that we have on the Xfce and fluxbox releases, along with the usual connection editor. nm-tray allows for connection editing, but it expect a ncurses based tool and the .conf file that is supposed to allow customization of the command apparently has no effect.

Oh great! Now the Web Browser forces the system Audio server!? Talk about the tail wagging the dog... I beg MX to not start doing this with Firefox Distro-wide

I'll shut up now...

I think that raspberry pi os runs pipewire...pulse is installed but dont see it in lxtask.

debian did the same thing with pulseaudio and firefox, once upon a time...

I think that would be a good idea. I'm out in MN and can not get wireless to work unless I go through Imager, and then the first boot process gets a bit wonky--it turns off instead of rebooting after the standard first short boot to set some parameters. It's not a question of AP or password, since I'm on it right now. I tried using raspi-config when unable to connect, but it kept reporting an error.

And then the first time I made a mistake with the password there was no way I could find to forget or correct the AP (I suppose I could have used ifconfig, but I have long since forgotten most of what I used to know there...

BTW: I found a workaround to no-BT-with-Installer problem: I used the mouse to copy a word from the the running help on the left, then pasted it into the username, ticked autologin and clicked next. Installer asked me if I really wanted to have no password, I clicked yes, after a wait it rebooted and finished on the desktop.

Just an FYI; it won't boot on a Pi 3, it hangs at the multi-coloured screen

Good to know for sure.

amazing...
Tonight (not in the mood for sleeping) I installed MX23_RPI on a Pi 5. I expected some difficulties and loads of DuckDuckGoing. Neither of the two happened...
All went smooth like a hot knife through the butter.
Compliments to the developers of this spin off!
All the programs I use on a daily basis work like a charm. To mention a small glitch, my mouse pointer has the shivers... (I realize that there could be many causes for this occurrence)
Cheers!

Excellent, thanks.

Mouse: Bluetooth?
