Re: MX-23 Rpi Respin -- Beta testing

[dolphin_oracle]

might actually be some kind of conflict, although not sure why it would only affect first boot. got some additional experimenting to do.

[fehlix]

Some suggestions:

* add and enable to adduser.conf the extra_groups,
so newly added user, gain more functionality, otherwise with only beeing in the users-group
may create some confusions for those new user.

* maybe add default locale/keyboard to en_US/us, so user see the default inthe oem-minstaller,
in case it was not intentially left out.


* perhaps disable gnome-keyring in auto-start,
but do enable gnome-keyring-daemon.service as user-service instead.
This might help pam to unlock the newly created login-keyring.
at least in theory...

will check this, thought I had our usual adduser.conf included. --edit-- somewhere along the way I lost it, thanks.

I did try that, but there was no help.

A bit bored early this morning when it's cold and gray, and no one is up yet; so I decided to see to what extent using MXPI to install KDE would work. I'm not a KDE person, but it certainly looks good. On the basic desktop I found only one non-functional component--a task manager, I gather. My Pi 5 8G had no trouble handling what I looked at quickly, and I imagine a Pi 4 8G would do fine as well; not sure about a Pi 400. I'd be really interested in hearing what actual KDE-users who own a Pi think, especially of course @Adrian.

(I hadn't really thought much about this project enabling the other versions, though I did look earlier at Fluxbox and found that with a bit of work on my part it would be normal.)

Hi:
I installed Fluxbox and it consumes much less memory than Xfce of course, but it seems to work fine

It does work fine, there's just a couple of things missing such as the gkrellm themes. Let's postpone further discussion of this (my bad) until we get Final out.

Hi:
In the normal MX installation, in this part you see the default language en_us.
But in RC1 it comes out empty, you can add any language without problems with the correction that was made at the time, I could add my Spanish language and keyboard well, but it is strange that this empty.
Best regards

I have an rc2 brewing with the adduser.conf and /etc/default/keyboard changes, as well as what is at least a work around for the chromium startup issue. On first login, there will be a forced restart of the gnome-keyring-daemon. this is mostly invisible to users, but they will get a keyring prompt if they launch chromium on first login, no matter if they autologin or not, but only on the very first login of the user.

[Jerry3904]

Good to hear. Anxious to test it...

[dolphin_oracle]

RC2 up in about half an hour.

[Jerry3904]

I see it--now downloading.

Thanks for all the work!
