@Mauser Thank you I will study later today.
@asqwerth Here are screenshots from both machines taken when I updated today (Note - since my previous posts I have changed the text colour from white to green on Machine 1).
I don't want to sound precocious but I would like machine 1 to look the same as Machine 2 if possible.

Machine 2 shows the output of running a nala command. Adjust the text color preferences to match and then switch to using nala.

This has nothing to do with themimg. It also does NOT have anything to do with MX PackageInstaller. So your title and original post is misleading.

This appears to be the terminal output that happens when you use MX-UPDATER.

No wonder all us helpers were so confused. We thought you were referring to the look of the graphical interface of MXPI.


Seems to me your first machine is an older point release of MX23, where the apt-notifier icon was set up to update using apt rather than nala. Nala's text output is nicer looking. I am not logged into MX at the moment. Can you right click on the notifer icon in the system tray and check the various options and preferences. Is there a way to change the updater to use nala from these options?

If not, you need to check your $HOME/.config/MX-Linux [not sure of the actual folder name or if I got the case correct] .

There should be a apt-notifier.conf file within. If you open it, you can check for a "use nala" line. If it's set at FALSE, change it to TRUE.

Please accept my apologies for a misleading title and post.

Attached are two screenshot from machine 1 - I haven't made any adjustments to either at this stage.

Please edit the post title on your first post. Also.. please don't post screenshots of code output, they cannot be searched. You can post code on the forum like this:

[code]code output here[/code]

Thanks.

Uncomment the use_nala line (line 40) in apt-notifier.conf
ie. from

Code: Select all

# use_nala = true

to

Code: Select all

use_nala = true

and save

No problem - would you care to suggest a suitable title?
Regarding the code - noted.

@Melber Thank you - My machines are shut down for the night but I will follow your suggestions and post the outcome.
