MX-21 Fluxbox RC1 feedback

[app4soft]

Are you running live or installed?

Actually I'm running LiveUSB

Does it do it every time you attempt to view an image?
Does it do it if you open gThumb from the menu?
Can you run gThumb from the terminal to see if there are any clues in the output?

gThumb fails in all cases. In terminal it shows only next:

Code: Select all

$ gthumb
Segmentation fault

NOTE: If force "software-gl" (`$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 gthumb`) gThumb works, so probably issue related to Mesa drivers (GPU: ATI RS600 / Radeon 1250 Xpress)

Installation went fine (as did with the betas) but during setup when you select 'Custom install on existing partitions' the screen resembles a spreadsheet and not the polished look it had on b2.




Kudos for including this feature (show, hide, tab). I almost forgot about tabbed titlebars.

You saw the new borders app? I love playing with that and now run with no titlebar and orange (active)/green borders. Very snazzy

[mihail_bc]

not loading the system in fluxbox DE in virtualbox
after boot up menu, just before loading the desktop, screen turns black and remains so

dell latitude E5430

on hardd disk, still using MX 16 xfce, no issues so far!

I watched your video on how to do that. I'm not familiar with moving around Fluxbox with a keyboard. Might have to create a conky with all the key commands and try out the borderless approach.

I actually remember seeing manyroads do a Conky like that in another thread... might be worth looking at

Hi.

For both KDE and XFCE editions, the iso files match the sha checksums.
However, the Fluxbox ISO does not match the check sum:

Code: Select all

[sprinterdriver@localhost mx-beta]$ md5sum MX-21_fluxbox_rc1_x64.iso
26dd0013274df66d8219fd260c6fea63 MX-21_fluxbox_rc1_x64.iso
[sprinterdriver@localhost mx-beta]$ cat MX-21_fluxbox_rc1_x64.iso.md5
c99d8b90e95dd403869b5fc1556e7638 MX-21_fluxbox_rc1_x64.iso

I did download the iso file twice, and get checksum mismatch both times, both files have different checksum.

My third download attempt using Firefox and Downthemall extention was successfull.

My third download attempt using Firefox and Downthemall extention was successfull.

I downloaded once with just FF and everything checked out.

I believe I found it (post #5)

viewtopic.php?p=616585#p616585

I also found, while searching the forums, his web page that has a key bindings conky.

https://eirenicon.org/knowledge-base/keybinding-conky/

I should be able to put together a key bindings conky for Fluxbox. Thanks @manyroads
