MX Moksha "Out of Bodhi" Testing Release RC1

[AVLinux]

Hello, I felt body sick recentry, my replys be late.
about MX moksha default wallpaper, focus on Logo, "Pyramids and the Celestial-Sphere", oh perfect reconize,
Overall nice asian taste I like much. asian taste distribution is rare. This OS is "want to try without thinking!"
"Bodhi" is buddist's important concept well known, Distribution should have own phylosophy ideally, is great!

Hi @Freja hope you are feeling better!

I can't really take any credit for the Buddhist influence (although I very much admire that worldview) Bodhi Linux and Moksha have been influenced by Buddhist ideas and artwork since they started several years ago. I'm just trying to preserve it's established green look and mold the MX artwork to match it's established look. I hope you don't mind I took some artistic liberties with the MX Logo.

To be honest I have never made much use of the live remastering stuff so I'm not very knowledgeable about it..

I'm testing and working on an RC2 ISO and I'm a bit concerned because I built with the Liquorix 6.13 kernel and I'm experiencing lots of freezes in the live session in a VM (I use Gnome Boxes) I'll have to try a few bare metal boots, quite often VM stuff can kick up a fuss over kernels that are too new for the virtualization, I had so much trouble in this regard with Virtualbox I quit using it. If you happen to get around to putting an newer Kernel in the RC1 you're testing I'd be interested in hearing if it works for you without freezing issues.

I did a remaster of RC1 with the Liquorix 6.7 kernel and it fixed the problem with wifi I was seeing.

Thanks very much for taking the time to do that and letting me know, the generosity of the MX devs is always noticed and appreciated!

Hello, forum.

I followed the link to MX-23.5-Bodhi yesterday.
I am very happy that this respin has been created.
I had 2020/2021 Bodhi 5.0.0 with kernel 4.9.0-6-686 i686.
I liked to use it, but then neglected it at some point for disk space reasons.
I had concentrated on MX.
So I'm all the more pleased that Bodhi is now also available in an MX version, with all MX tools ( MX snapshot yay ).
Thank you very much.

But when I called up the old 32bit Bodhi ( Ubuntu ), I had to realize that it only needs about 400 MB RAM, in contrast to the current 64bit Debian MX variant, which needs at least 1GB RAM. ( but both used in the VM as live iso )
Will there also be a 32bit MX-Bodhi ?

Suggestion for improvement for the next respin:
Pre-install the MX conkys.
Also the xfce4-appfinder and place it in the taskbar.
( please not rofi :)

I was fine with my personal setup.
Bodhi-Mosha is really chic.

But when I was almost done and wanted to take a MX-snapshot, the system froze for a moment due to swap space problems.
This was followed by something like a “Moksha restart”.

After that, many icons were missing.
The gaps you can see on the attached screenshots are actually filled with icons.
Icons are also missing in the menus.
The programs can still be started, both in the menus and in the task bar.
Only the icons are missing.

I like the replacement icon theme automatically selected by the system when the system hangs.
Do any of you recognize its name?

In the settings -> Appearance -> Application theme ( GTK & Icons ), the tab is empty.
But the Gtk applications are still there.
There was another place where you could also choose the icon theme.
But I can't find that again today.
(It takes some getting used to with Bodhi, remembering where to make which settings).

However, the icon theme is still installed and available in /usr/share/icons.
Uninstalling and reinstalling did not change anything.
Installing another icon theme “Numix” has not improved anything either.
The icon settings module remains empty.

How can I fix this?

Hi, thanks for taking a look

There is a tool for this in the 'Accessories' menu called 'MX Moksha Action - Rebuild Efreet Icon Cache' run that tool and it should fix your issue, it appears your Icon cache has been lost or corrupted. I will not be maintaining a 32bit version, in fact it appears upcoming Debian Trixie is dropping 32bit from the Debian Installer options, 32bit libs and apps will still be in Debian itself but not part of the installer options so Distros will completely have do 32bit builds and installs with their own resources. I'm still Debating a Conky, Bodhi Linux already has dozens of really cool Desktop modules and to me MX Conky packaging is too much potentially unused stuff. For a searchable appfinder hit the 'Windows' key and one will appear!

Bodhi Linux itself still has 32bit in Bodhi 7, unknown if they will continue with 32bit in BL8 yet.
