MX Linux Forum

On Xubuntu and Debian the xfce panel preference window has a Profiles: section with a Backup and restore button at the top above the panel add/remove dropdown list. It allows you to select preset xfce panel configurations and save/export/import your customized panels.

I just notice that it is missing in MX19 but I don't remember if it was there on 18 and 17.
Is it supposed to be there or does MX-Tweak supply those functions?

It's not missing.

MX tweak does that. I backup the .restore folder in /home/username/ and put it back in where I want it.

ok probably my fault. something went hey wire when I built the new mx-iso-template package. new one coming soon. sorry about that.

issue i have is the Monitor on desktop goes blank or freezes, needs a restart.
it is an AMD system with nvidia GPU. using 4.9.`93 kernel, mainly because 4.19.0.6 doesnt work with iridium browser.

Iridium will work on the stock Kernel with the flag to disable the sandbox, or with Liquorix kernels (I think the problem with MXPI installing the MX 17 Liquorix kernels on MX 19 is fixed now, (Nvidia drivers won't build on mismatched kernels), but a workaround in the meantime was to install the Liquorix header and image packages from the MXPI's test repo tab. I know the test repo Nvidia-driver 435.21 is fine on the 5.2 Liquorix kernels, but am going to have to double check the legacy drivers.

Oh, FWIW, on MX 19, su-to-root and gksu will both actually use mx-pkexec.

Dolphin, with the patched lucky backup, the icon (for both user and root lucky backup) has reverted back to the old xpm ones because of the hard coding of the icon filepath in the .desktop file.

Instead of:

Code: Select all

Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/luckybackup.png

It should read:

Code: Select all

Icon=luckyBackup

so that it can apply the icon in Papirus.

Is this program still being maintained by a dev who can take bug reports?

OK, I'll roll another update. I didn't know we had a version that changed the desktop files for MX 17/18. Is "luckyBackup" the exact spelling and capitalization that we need to use?

I pm'd stevo with some details...

If we want it to always show the Papirus-type in the menu for us, can't I just just have our build install that icon into /usr/share/pixmaps during the build and overwrite the stock one? That's really easy to do. If so, can someone attach that icon to a message here?

that's not actually what we want. we want the theme's icon to be used, if present.

OK, here's the builds with the fix-menu-icon.patch: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1t4uDX ... NBDUWh9oQp

I have heavy stuff building on my MX 18 install that I can't interrupt, so can someone check these out?
