What is redshift? Does it require systemd? AVL-MXe doesn't boot systemd on the Live ISO but you can select systemd boot once installed..
Wayland..? AVL-MXe is not a wayland Distro (although Enlightenment supposedly supports it) if you need wayland AVL-MXe is not set up for that at all (and it wasn't with XFCE4 either)

hi. redshift is the blue light blocker that works flawlessly in linux, i think it is a very important program to use at night and there are not many if at all that work in linux.
i attach the errors popup.
another issue, but perhaps it is only in live usb, on shutdown it shuts half way down and you have either hard shutdown or use alt-print reiso, but this is not really important.

@nudiecrudi I might be totally wrong here but, much like yourself I really used night light in Windows so when I decided to go full Linux in all my devices I struggled with my Antix laptop which never was able to run redshift, not sure it might be the systemd thing or something, never worked, never tried it in MX but since the 2 OSs have a lot in common I guess the same solution might apply, the first one was, in Antix full there were many appliances and one of them if I remember correctly was named Screenlight or something like that which basically perform a similar job of letting you control the warmth of the screen, and again, since it was specifically designed for Antix (I think) it may work on MX and thus work on AV. However, I think it can't be automated, you create two profiles (day and night) and you manually switch between them. The other problem is that IMO it seems a little much like you put some amber lens on, too yellow and a little "blurry" as it is a lens, what I do now in both Antix and AV is just, I open the terminal and write:
xrandr --output VGA1(this is the name of your monitor) --gamma 2:0.75:0.25 --brightness 0.8
that makes my screen comfortably warm without looking like I just put on some glasses, now the configuration might be different for you but just experiment with different numbers and if you don't know your monitor's name just write xrandar in the terminal, no arguments and it will tell you the screen info including the name, this is so far the best option I've found, it really looks like windows10 nightlight.
@AVLinux thank you for your hard work, I wrote in the Antix forum a few days ago about how great AV is, I'm now using still AV21 XFCE and honestly I was affraid of updating, I left a long review saying how I had bad experiences with pipewire and how enlightenment seems harder to manage than XFCE, but much like I said there, I was excited for enlightenment since it has a smaller footprint on your system so for me, it is worth the learning curve and yes, seems harder, just yesterday I tried it on my old laptop, just the liveUSB, super lean bro, more than I expected. my laptop only has 1.5G of ram (that's why I use antix on that one, it is the only thing that runs nicely and that's how I came to love it) but AV is now around the 350M in a fresh start which is great, I mean I could also use it on my laptop if I wanted too (although I would be really limited when I start running some software, but man, this seems leaner than most supposedly light distros, definitively lighter than all the buntus, in q4os territory but maybe the kernel but AV23 seems much faster and smoother than q4os (which I also just tested yesterday), you were right about switching DEs, the more resources freed the better.
Been using AV21 on my office PC for a year now and it is flawless, so thank you man, that's why I am hesitant to upgrade, if it aint broke, but will do that because you have all the right ideas and are way on the right track, me? only still reluctant to deal with pipewire but I guess worst case escenario I can simply purge it like I did when I tried MX.
By the way yesterday I saw your youtube video explaining, for instance, enlightenment and it was extremely useful, thanks for taking the time to do that, now if I could only have one vid more focused on pipewire you'd be totally my hero. I mean you did explain and I think the 2 managing methods you developed seem really useful but still I struggle.
Anyway, I have a laptop running Antix and a PC running AV, another PC on the way which will be running AV, I do industrial design, I'm an amateur musician, and also videoconference a lot in industries where everyone is in a hurry and there's no time for repetitions so I can't miss one word, AV is the only distro so far that out of the box is ALL I need, so nevermind the haters, you also have people cheering for you.
Hi All. I've been using AVLinux a good while now after KXStudio disappeared and I have never complained. It must be a HUGE task to produce and maintain - as a moderately technical joe, being able to load a tuned audio/video production OS for little more than a (possible) donation and some personal effort is an absolute privilege.
Having received a free Dell Vostro 1510 (circa 2008) with a dual-core Intel CPU, 2Gb of memory and a 240Gb SSD, I thought I'd try it out with latest AVLinux. It installed and booted reliably. I have the earlier XFCE4 version on my main PC and I'm very happy with it's performance, so I thought I'd give the new Enlightenment MX version a spin on what was likely to test its low resource capabilities to the limit. To be honest, I'm a KDE fan when it comes to desktop environments but get on fine with XFCE and I'm moderately bewildered by Enlightenment ;-) But I'll get there - it's worth the effort to learn something new when the underlying system is so good. And I have watched the new AVLinux introduction video right through so I'm better off than I was.
One issue I noted when booting up the live USB and after installation on both my laptops (the newer one is a 2012 intel i7 with 8Gb of memory), was that only the right-click of my touchpad buttons worked - both tap-to-click and left-click didn't work and peculiarly when SHIFT was pressed on the keyboard no text would type. This was resolved on the Dell by removing the Synaptic Touchpad Driver (just in case anyone else has that issue).
So now that I'm learning the pipewire system, can anyone tell me how to get my Firewire Edirol FA-66 soundcard to work on the new AVLinux? I can see the MIDI ports but not the audio ins and outs. Previously I would have set Jack to my firewire soundcard but I can't find a setting to do that here. Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words, unfortunately I'm still in the learning phase about PipeWire as well and not well informed enough to make a useful Video, to be honest when I do recording work I always use the ALSA backends in Ardour and Harrison Mixbus and which completely gets around needing JACK, PulseAudio, PipeWire or any other Audio server. In this case PipeWire is simply handling daily general Desktop Audio and I'm hooking into ALSA directly for dedicated recording work.
@siabost9deas
Thanks for your comments and willingness to try something new, to be honest I'm not 100% clear on how PipeWire supports FireWire devices but I see there is an item about it here: https://docs.pipewire.org/page_module_ffado_driver.html
Unlike in MX 23.2 wine exits from Word 2003 (or Excel 2003) in AV Linux 23.1 with an error saying something like "Word (or Excel) was terminated unexpectedly".
A more precise error information:
Error on Execution of the application: Microsoft Excel 2003 was terminated unexpectedly.
An errorcode of 3 was output by
env WINEPREFIX="/home/alt_user.wine" wine C:\\users\\alt_user\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start\\Menu\\Programs\\Microsoft\ Office\\Microsoft\ Office\ Excel\ 2003.lnk
This error only appears, when I start Excel or Word from MainMenu/Prefered Applications - not when starting with wine from the command-line.
Error on Execution of the application: Microsoft Excel 2003 was terminated unexpectedly.
An errorcode of 3 was output byenv WINEPREFIX="/home/alt_user/.wine" wine C:\\users\\alt_user\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start\\Menu\\Programs\\Microsoft\ Office\\Microsoft\ Office\ Excel\ 2003.lnk
