Want a really small annoyance? The items in the Favorites menu are not in alphabetical order--or any other order AFAIK.

Note:
If anyone has a problem with a HUGE mouse cursor due to 4k resolution
add a file called .gtkrc-2.0 to your home folder and the contents need to be
Code: Select all
gtk-cursor-theme-name="Adwaita"
gtk-cursor-theme-size=22
You pick the theme-name and you pick the cursor-theme-size
Apologies if this is not the correct way or there is a better way - but it works for me here.

The Debian backports repo is hanging for me when called from MXPI. When enabled in Synaptic it does refresh. Anyone else seeing this. It did the same in b2.

I had problems with that, I think it might be because it downloads packages in quick succession maybe there's a timeout for this kind of downloads, not sure, somebody who knows more about websites should tell me what's best to use to download the packages I use something like this:
Code: Select all
wget ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/" + ver_name + "-backports/main/binary-" + arch + "/Packages.gz -O mainPackages.gz"
And then I download contribPackages.gz and nonfreePackages.gz, I put a 3 second delay between the downloads but it doesn't seem to help.

All Users not checked in Network Manager, I thought this was required to auto-connect to wlan upon booting. Currently it does not connect.

it does here.
however, you have to set it up after each user is created. or check the box. there is no way to ship with the box checked.
incidentally, this configuration has not changed since early alpha.

It does for me too, when the box is checked. Hard to remember all the default settings through 4 per-releases.

generally you set up a connection twice.
1. on the live media, (if you bother to do so, I usually don't unless I'm using a live stick).
2. again after initial reboot.
If its not working as above (which has been the same for every release except alpha 1, which I messed up with some interfaces stuff), then we need more info.
Install methodolgy
type of network
vpns?
inxi -n
is this after a hibernate or a cold restart?
and so forth.

I did not set it up in live,
And did not check the box until after several boots, some cold some restarts. Once checked it auto-connects. Si it is working as expected.

I always put my most frequent favorites at the top or bottom of the list anyway--easy to drag and drop them there. We have to give those that suffer from OCD something to do, eh?
