i would prefer the minstall log file from a 64 bit session, or does the live-usb not boot?taraxacum wrote: Sun Jul 23, 2023 3:49 pm MX23-RC3 (xfce) amd64
Just installed version RC3.
Error message on install routine: Waiting for /dev to be fully populated... persists as described in my post:
viewtopic.php?p=734784#p734784
Installation files from the i386 version:
minstall.txt
mxpi.pdf
mxpi log old.pdf
usually its a video card problem. you might try one of the failsafe boot options.taraxacum wrote: Sun Jul 23, 2023 4:39 pm Thank you for your inquiry @dolphin_oracle .
I am sorry that I cannot send a minstall.log file from a 64bit version.
The setup does start and I can read the beginning of the log with ALT+F1 up to the point: Waiting for /dev to be fully populated... and then is black monitor and it aborts.
During setup I left all default settings except for language selection F2 and region F3.
Question: Would another default setting be possible and helpful ?
How can I help you solve the problem otherwise?
My guess is that the 64bit MX software reads / writes incorrectly with my system bios ?
It should only be shown in the systray if user decides to keep more than one keyboard layout enabled.irshatmx wrote: Sun Jul 23, 2023 5:14 pm What is the reason for replacing fbxkb with gxkb? fbxkb can switch languages by clicking the mouse, and in gxkb, a list comes out, which is not very convenient.
And in general, why do we need extra language switches when the native satisfies all the needs.
fbxkb barfs when a keyboard layout doesn't have a flag. simply providing the flag to not alleviate the situation, so we switched tool. gxkb has the benefit that we can add flags if necessary.irshatmx wrote: Sun Jul 23, 2023 5:14 pm What is the reason for replacing fbxkb with gxkb? fbxkb can switch languages by clicking the mouse, and in gxkb, a list comes out, which is not very convenient.

Thanks @dolphin_oracle for your note for the boot options. Sometimes you are a bright light in the layman's darkness with your tips.dolphin_oracle wrote: Sun Jul 23, 2023 4:59 pmyou might try one of the failsafe boot options.taraxacum wrote: Sun Jul 23, 2023 4:39 pm Thank you for your inquiry @dolphin_oracle .

Waiting for /dev to be fully populatedMy mom shared her experience after wiping Windows 10 completely. This is what she said:
"You get the feeling that you're part of something intelligent and all-embracing. And that your not just a would be consumer of all kinds of rubbish at the whim of Microsoft. You feel a sense of belonging and that its not out to use you, and manipulate you for its own ends. You feel a sense of gratitude and that you're in a safe space, in the hands of people you can rely on and depend on."
ah, that's great, and how community-based distros should be...briainxyz wrote: Sun Jul 23, 2023 1:04 pm Hi guys and gals,
Just want to say thanks for MX-23. My 78 year old mother installed it on a Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen 6 with myself guiding the installation over the phone with the help of the MX User Manual. I've no significant issues to report (she had MX-18 on a T420s for the past 5 years. For my part, I'm a Debian user for >20 years).

Consequently, I'm about to flash MX-23 onto an old 4gb machine for my girlfriend who has no prior experience with computers. Much obliged to the MX Linux and Debian focus groups
