MX-17 Beta 3 Feedback

Thanks--installed and launched fine, mic and cam recognized.. Hope users know to not enter a password in the Gnome Keyring dialog box.

I put in the wrong password first, and somehow ended up with Skype hung. Logged out and back in, then everything went correctly.

For that reason, I'd like to know how to keep Skype from calling Gnome Keyring. Don't know if it's possible, though.

Don't know how the Manual got into this...

Lots of dedication and hard work. ;-)

It was mentioned in a post regarding "Ownership to Root" I should have quoted it.

live-usb-maker-gui
1.is not able to see usb stick plugged. Whether it's formatted or not.
2.can be found in whisker twice with different titles though. 'mx tools' and 'system' sections.

# dd-live-usb works fine in terminal.

And let me ask 2nd time about mx repo manager --> debian repos tab --> select fastest mx repo for me button. Why it won't affect security and backports repos location. It's security.debian.org and deb.debian.org correspondingly always.

deb.debian.org is a redirector type site, so they do the choosing on their end.

not sure about security.debian.org. It may be similar.

That's strange. I thought they used the same algorithm to determine if a drive is usb/removable or not. Anyway, that test is not perfect. I suggest you try using live-usb-maker in a terminal and if it doesn't see your usb stick then use the "--force=usb" option. This is a little dangerous because it will let you over-write internal hard drives.

How about replacing qpdfview with evince or Okular in MX Linux

Okular was seriously considered for a while, and its still many of the dev team members' favorite pdf reader. However, given our non-kde-ness, we stuck with qpdfview for now.
