Posting from the beta2 right now. Downloaded, md5 is good, burn to 4 GIg stick using MX live creator under the beta1, and boots fine.
Posting from here. I will check the sound, and then hit install to my testing partion, grub to root.
Sound card selected with the MX Tools- sound card selector, it works...hit install.

FYI, there's a typo in the blog link for download of the XFCE 64-bit iso. Says beta1 rather than beta2, generating an error at SourceForge. Can manually click through to the correct file name, but some users might not think to do that. By the way, you might add to Known Issues that the ISO won't at present boot from Ventoy, a problem hopefully to be fixed by future Ventoy update.
Edit: Ventoy has now been updated. The current version (1.0.93) boots the MX-23 beta2 without difficulty. Also still works with older versions (I tested 21.2.1, which was the ISO I had handy).

Congratulations to the MX Team for this BETA2. I have seen it at first available at Sourceforge, than the announcement on Distrowatch but still miss it when I read the News on
https://mxlinux.org/mx-linux-blog/ . Just installed and now writing on it. I dont found a torrent for the Xfce4 or the others, right?
So far it runs good. First time a non Arch Distro detected my Arch based Distro Installations correct so that they should be ready to boot with their multiple entrys in the initrd line:
Code: Select all
initrd /boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-linux.img
. But what it does not correct detected: my SWAP partition, so I now have only the swapfile which I created during installation, my other Linux installations like Garuda Linux(also Arch based)(maybe cause it is on BTRFS) and openSUSE (they seem to have their special BTRFS partition layout).
Does somebody knew why grub.cfg sometimes states root=UUID... and sometimes root=/dev/sdbXX? There are cases where my internal sda is not shown and then sdb becomes to sda and the boot stops in a dash shell.
Is btrfs fully supported on MX Linux 23?
Will it be okay for small machines like mine to use Firefox or better use Brave or what would you suggest?
I would like to offer torrent download of MX-23 Linux from my small system, have only to check which ports to open or so. Any suggestions?

downloaded MX-Fluxbox-amd64 iso and installed it to a usb3
first impression: this beta2 is smooth and fast running. desktop is setting quickly, no traces of delays from sleeping/delayed startup items. very responsive to mouseclicks and keybinds.
Here are some initial findings
xsession-errors
---------
~/xsession-errors file keeps showing a number of errors/warnings, mostly related to pipewire (rtkit, libcamera etc) as well as xfce4-clipman issues.
No fluxbox errors were recorded in xsession-errors, nor logged to ~/.fluxbox/log.
Fluxbox only shows (harmless) warning about not being able to open fluxbox.cat: [Warning: Failed to open file (fluxbox.cat). For translation, using default messages.]
If you see that message, you can resolve it by executing following commands:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/share/fluxbox/nls
sudo ln -is en_US.UTF-8 $(locale | grep LANG | cut -d= -f2)
Also showing continuous 'Helpers.IconFetcher-WARNING' messages, about missing paths to 'font.png' and 'background.svg' icons. To solve this, suggest to edit following *.desktop files in /usr/share/applications:
Code: Select all
- mxfb-font.desktop : Icon=org.gnome.fontmanager
- mxfb-backgrounds.desktop : Icon=preferences-desktop-wallpaper
Icons will then display correctly in rofi/appfinder --> and warning messages are gone.
mxfb-font
---------
gtk 'subpixel' value is not written/saved to ~/.gtk-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini.
apparently the "gtk-xft-rgba= " line is failing in both files.
after manually adding the line in both files, then the chosen value is correctly written.
more to follow as it comes along.

Quick (dumb?) Question about Installing:
I had previously installed Beta-1 on an old, legacy machine using Root, Home & Swap on 3 different partitions (with one "Logical" Partition). I want to wipe those partitions and re-install Beta-2.
However, since by default Beta-2 uses a Swapfile, can I install Beta-2 on just 1 partition on that old machine? With /Root/Home, and the Swapfile, on just 1 partition?
My question is: where does that Swapfile reside? I'm assuming it's NOT on a separate partition, right? Does it go in /Root/Home (automatically)?
I want to correctly set-up the partitions on that old (MBR) machine, and minimize the number of partitions (max=4). I know I can do as before, but I'd like to use the minimum number of partitions possible!
Can I get-away with installing Beta-2 on only 1 partition?
(And, I cannot do a "Whole Disk" install-- other stuff on that drive already)

The subpixel selection option was removed for exactly this reason.

I too am looking forward to see the answer.

My question is: where does that Swapfile reside? I'm assuming it's NOT on a separate partition, right? Does it go in /Root/Home (automatically)?
Quick follow up question and sorry for questions, since this is not feedback, but helps understanding the changes.
Is default swap file introduced for simplicity reasons, to be of help for us noobs

or is swap file now generally preferred way of setting up Linux system?
I'm asking this, since few years ago I learned, that at that time swap file was 'dirty', hacky way and not preferred way of setting up the system. Things changed since then, I'm sure, but can't hurt asking.
(edit, thanks moderator for help)

FYI, there's a typo in the blog link for download of the XFCE 64-bit iso. Says beta1 rather than beta2, generating an error at SourceForge. Can manually click through to the correct file name, but some users might not think to do that. By the way, you might add to Known Issues that the ISO won't at present boot from Ventoy, a problem hopefully to be fixed by future Ventoy update.
User can get latest pre-release Ventoy builds from
https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/actions,
which do work since MX related adjustments have been applied.

Seems like the mxfb-accessories package is yet to be updated with the latest version of mxfb-font.

Great! Enough time for me then to duplicate this mxfb-font version and save it for later. I like its ability to set a sub-pixel order.

Does somebody knew why grub.cfg sometimes states root=UUID... and sometimes root=/dev/sdbXX? There are cases where my internal sda is not shown and then sdb becomes to sda and the boot stops in a dash shell.
update-grub generates grub menu entries in two flavours: If it detects a grub-installation on the other OS it uses information found within the grub.cfg file on the other OS. If there is no grub installed on the other OS, it would create generic menu entries with root=/dev/name entries. So you better always install GRUB, to get proper root=UUID=xxxx boot parameter.

Is btrfs fully supported on MX Linux 23?
So fas as I see yes, including timeshift on btrfs.

There's a 'Application Finder' entry in the rightclick applications menu, as well as in rofi, which invokes 'xfce4-appfinder-mxfb.desktop' exec command.
But the actual xfce4-appfinder command isn't executed, since this application is not installed. Either point this .desktop file to rofi/appfinder - or remove it altogether?

Thanks to everyone involved in building this great distro. I have been testing Libretto XFCE since beta 1, hereby my issues encountered.
Hardware:
Asus Vivobook Oled 3k 12th gen Intel
24 Ghz Ram
- Scaling issues. It happens frequently that I need to rescale on boot (Display->Scaling->0.5). The system sometimes (not always) forgets my settings during reboots/wakepups.
- Crashes when connecting to an external screen (HDMI). First the option is shown how to use the external screen (mirror, extension, etc). After choosing, the computer reboots
- MX Linux animation on startup and shutdown is extremely slow, it takes almost a minute to run (this was smooth in a VM, not sure why not on metal)
- The notification 'Do not show this message again', for example when a network is found, is ignored. The message keeps on showing up. I had to put the machine in Do not disturb mode
- Telegram Desktop Flatpak cannot be installed using the software installer (Error pulling from repo: GPG verification enabled, but no signatures found)

Hi:
Checking mx-tweak - Fluxbox tab, I see that the strings "108: Reset DefaultDock" and "116: Reset Fluxbox Menu", do not have space for translations.... Is it possible to increase the space for the text?
Thanks

But what it does not correct detected: my SWAP partition, so I now have only the swapfile which I created during installation,
I found out now:
Code: Select all
sudo blkid
...
/dev/sdb6: UUID="3c53b71b-9495-4e33-a35a-c634602cd40b" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="ee946357-d891-4c07-b86e-4bc74850a1af"
This was not added to my /etc/fstab as I expected during the installation:
Code: Select all
# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab
UUID=93ec028b-5eac-4c2a-9429-3c0b8df5435f / ext4 noatime 1 1
UUID=7366-5199 /boot/efi vfat noatime,dmask=0002,fmask=0113 0 0
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
So I added it now by hand:
Code: Select all
# Dedicated swap partition
UUID=3c53b71b-9495-4e33-a35a-c634602cd40b none swap defaults 0 0
which results to this:
Code: Select all

swapon: /dev/sdb6: Signatur gefunden [Seitengröße=4096, Signatur=swap]
swapon: /dev/sdb6: Seitengröße=4096, Swapgröße=8469348352, Gerätegröße=8469348352
swapon /dev/sdb6
swapon: /swapfile: bereits aktiv -- wird ignoriert
$ swapon -s -v
Dateiname Typ Größe Benutzt Priorität
/swapfile file 2097148 0 -2
/dev/sdb6 partition 8270844 0 -3
which works now. But the system names it sdb where I think it should be sda.
Maybe this
page in the MX Wiki could be improved(cause mostly empty)?

Glad to report that the nvidia driver installs fine on the machine here and things seem to be working ok. Currently in 21 but I wager no info is needed, as it is working. :)

I have repeated the installation process just with the change of filesystem to EXT4, encrypted, and Home on the root partition. All went well. I can attach the log, if needed, too. (Writing from another machine)

One idea:
@dolphin_oracle,
may I ask for input box in installer on encryption page, where I can input parameters to override encryption? Like encryption algo, keysize, hash algo, etc...
It would be nice if it shows actual encryption parameters (commandline args), and initially disabled, to not allow users to mess with it. Beside it the checkbox "allow finetuning of encryption. Only for advanced users.", which will enable the inputbox, making it editable.
It would be awesome to have it like that. I am sure there will be users grateful for that. Not everybody uses AES, and/or SHA512.

It would be nice if it shows actual encryption parameters (commandline args), and initially disabled, to not allow users to mess with it. Beside it the checkbox "allow finetuning of encryption. Only for advanced users.", which will enable the inputbox, making it editable.
It would be awesome to have it like that. I am sure there will be users grateful for that. Not everybody uses AES, and/or SHA512.
we used to have that, but in looking at a lot of log files, I don't think anyone actually used it, so it was removed. Probably not high on the list to add back, but we will keep it in mind.

I have repeated the installation process just with the change of filesystem to EXT4, encrypted, and Home on the root partition. All went well. I can attach the log, if needed, too. (Writing from another machine)
that would be great for comparison.

My question is: where does that Swapfile reside? I'm assuming it's NOT on a separate partition, right? Does it go in /Root/Home (automatically)?
A swapfile can go anywhere, but the default is / (root), i.e, not in any of the folders/directories. The corresponding entry in fstab is simply /swapfile (which, indeed, is the full path).

Swap file and swap partition both work fine. The former is more convenient on a single-install system, as it can be resized easily. The latter has the efficiency on a multi-boot system that it can be shared.

These who have used it, were able to help themselves often, so did not post logs so frequently like newbies

OK, I continued with the set-up and tweaking from last night.
That 3-D new logo looks good during the boot, I like how the back and leading edges are subtly out of focus, giving a nice 3D look, like it is something BIG.
All is running smoothly on this hard drive install. No problems so far, solid as beta1 as I reported earlier. A wonderful beta -AGAIN !
My list of post install tweaks is complete except for the final firefox tweaks.
Code: Select all
1. Enable my data disk in the disk manager
2. Change my wall paper
3. Fire up synaptic and load about 30 programs (adds to maybe 160 packages with all dependencies) Such as audacity, k3b, ksnip, bleachbit, ripperx, handbrake, scid, stockfish, eboard, espeak....I really should automate this with aptik ! [b]Still need fsearch and warpinator, but these will come when the release settles.
4. Run synaptic to get all updates[/b]
5.Widen the panel, change the clock so it shows seconds
6. Install the NVidia driver with the MX Package Installer
7. Switch conky to the modified antiX conky
8. Set up a desktop short cut to the data drive
9. Run bleachbit to clear all the post install stuff out
10. Reboot and test stability after all the up dates
11. Configure Firefox, set home page to duckduckgo, set downloads to go to a folder on the data drive, import bookmarks, add noscript
12. Disable sudo -MX Tweak > Other tab > radial button at the bottom labeled accordingly
13. In power management set so no log-in is required from suspend
14. MX Tweak-enable compton compositing, and select MX comfort theme with thick boarders
15. set swappiness =1
16. Set terminal opacity to 99

@siamhie Yes back to apt for default: we've had too many reports of lengthy hangups.
I don't know about changing the window size but it would be nice: it swamps my 1366x768 testing screen.

so if I understand correctly you specified both a swap partition an a swapfile during installation, but only the swapfile was created/used?
yes, the swap partition was like the EFI were shown in the partition window so I don't touch them. The efi were used, the swap not.

so if I understand correctly you specified both a swap partition an a swapfile during installation, but only the swapfile was created/used?
yes, the swap partition was like the EFI were shown in the partition window so I don't touch them. The efi were used, the swap not.
Even if swap partition is shown in the installer "spreadsheet", I believe you still have to select it to "use as swap" and then in the "format" column, choose "preserve" (ie, not to format) it. Otherwise it won't be recorded as a partition you chose to use, and thus won't show up in fstab.

In fact, now I am not sure about it. I was trying many things.
I will reinstall once more, albeit on a different machine. Will let you know in a while.

Does somebody knew why grub.cfg sometimes states root=UUID... and sometimes root=/dev/sdbXX? There are cases where my internal sda is not shown and then sdb becomes to sda and the boot stops in a dash shell.
update-grub generates grub menu entries in two flavours: If it detects a grub-installation on the other OS it uses information found within the grub.cfg file on the other OS. If there is no grub installed on the other OS, it would create generic menu entries with root=/dev/name entries. So you better always install GRUB, to get proper root=UUID=xxxx boot parameter.

We had two nala related reports like "nala hangs" and another one where the "nala hanger",

The ntpsec timeout hanger has been fixed. But the other two, could not have been reproduced and so
we decided to go back to apt as default - until we can reproduce and potential help to fix nala, if possible.

Can I set the notifier/update window back to 80x24 in size?
It's currently not adjustable, but defaults to terminal with of about 75%-80% of screen size.
I guess with people having now more bigger screen may be adding to a max terminal size.
80x25 can be definitely to small in size as user may have other repos with longer urls,
which would create quite some line-breaks with such a small terminal size.

Indeed, I did not. Why? From former experiences, knowing that installer has a good checking for improper setup (always had halted me, when encryption was enabled and I was trying to have boot on root partition), so I was experimenting, if it finally supports boot on root together with encryption.
So, installer let continue, with wrong (unsupported) setting.
(( Why, in the age of surveillance, when attacks on encryption are much easier, and funded by big entities, we still does not have working LUKS2 (which enables much safer PBKDF)?
What is holding smart programmers from making it working? ))
BUT:
Timeshift does not recognise BTRFS.
(its radio button is disabled)
Code: Select all
$ sudo btrfs subvolume list /
ID 256 gen 36 top level 5 path @
So, I double checked it (reinstalled once more), same result.

@fehlix I recall beta1 had both "use_nala = true" uncommented. Pretty easy to revert back to nala.

That's a shame. It seems to take up a lot of real estate on my 1440 monitor and Jerry mentioned his monitor size of 1366x768 which I can only imagine would take up most of his screen.

Excuse me please when I ask again. So you mean the output of os-prober on MX Linux is the expected behavior and that what Manjaro and maybe others additionally do is extraordinary? So the solution for a multibooting environment, mainly for testing, is to stick at ext4 it seems?

OK, my initial effort was to run the beta-2 as a live USB - no problems noticed
Second was to go to an installed beta-1 and updat / upgrade - no problem, everything looked to be upgraded nicely
What I didn't try was to install from the beta-2 USB - that failed. I was going to overwrite an MX-21.3 partition on one of the spare laptops BUT at the step ti select the partition (the SSD has 2 partitions, MX-21.3 and Debian 11 + a swap) things looked odd, almost I would guess like the Antix system? The MX-23 beta-1 didn't look like that and an install on another old laptop worked fine as expected.
Has anyone else had this problem?

As far as debian provided grub / os-prober goes, yes. Note: With Debian 12 bookworm, os-prober is kind of completely disabled. In MX-23 we re-enabeled os-prober to further support multi-boot with GRUB. But no attempt was made to enance grub/os-prober to detect os installs with btrfs and root-subvolumes.
User can still manually add other OS grub menu entries, e.g within /boot/grub/custom.cfg

On UEFI systems, you can use rEFInd efi-bootmanager, to multi-boot through rEFInd provided EFI-bootoption menu,
which should also allow boot into any btrfs install.

That's correct, grub through it's use of os-prober won't be able to detect another install on btrfs,
esp, where /root sits on a /@ subvolume. I haven't tried an btrfs install where root is not on a subvolume
MX defaults to install root on /@, mainly b/c that's a timeshift requirement.
Excuse me please when I ask again. So you mean the output of os-prober on MX Linux is the expected behavior and that what Manjaro and maybe others additionally do is extraordinary? So the solution for a multibooting environment, mainly for testing, is to stick at ext4 it seems?
As far as debian provided grub / os-prober goes, yes. Note: With Debian 12 bookworm, os-prober is kind of completely disabled. In MX-23 we re-enabeled os-prober to further support multi-boot with GRUB. But no attempt was made to enance grub/os-prober to detect os installs with btrfs and root-subvolumes.
User can still manually add other OS grub menu entries, e.g within /boot/grub/custom.cfg
That would be the next question:
Shouldn't it be expected that Debian Bookworm with GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false and MX Linux provide the same result?

That's fine especially cause one can install Grub2 and rEFInd as I read. But you will have to inform it about OS updates or added/deleted systems?
Would it there not be the better or equal behavior to hammer on the F12(at least on a DELL Latitude E6510) key at boot?
But what to do when there is only one time Ubuntu shown in the UEFI Boot but there are three partitions: Ubuntu-Mate, Xubuntu and Pinguy egg created Ubuntu? This seems a bit complicated.

I am running into a Kodi issue. Installed the one from popular in MXPI. Seems a VLC one too, but haven't tried that yet.
Code: Select all
libva info: VA-API version 1.17.0
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
Googled that, ran into this page:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=282638
Which basically says:
"seems to be caused by the recent update of libva to 2.17.0-1. Downgrading to libva 2.16.0-1 helped here."
Someone else says:
"===> So as a workaround define this environment variable (and everything works with libva 2.17.0-1, vlc included) :
Code: Select all
echo "setenv LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME nvidia" > /etc/profile.d/libva.csh
echo "export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia" > /etc/profile.d/libva.sh
"
Well, since this is a play installation anyway I up and did that environment variable, rebooted, waited for it to blow up, and nada, still the same results when I run vainfo.
Likely the right way there, not here. Ah well, would have been fun if I could have served up the solution as well

But we'll run with the info.
I figured I'd share it with you guys, since this kinda looks like it may pop up for more with nvidia cards and Kodi/VLC

I idea for inventing rEFInd was something like an easier efi-bootmanager. It can be set as default efi-loader and would list all found efi-loader, not only those which are listed with NVRAM(and may be invalid already).

But what to do when there is only one time Ubuntu shown in the UEFI Boot but there are three partitions: Ubuntu-Mate, Xubuntu and Pinguy egg created Ubuntu? This seems a bit complicated.
That's Ubuntu and secure-boot related issue, as all those ubuntu-flavors use just one efi-loader entry.
That's actually similar what Debian is now doing, so if you have to install two debian installations, you would only find one EFI-loader. One way to solve it, use for every such install a separate ESP.

just run your regular updates. I'm not changing the labels for updated systems from beta1 and beta2, but you are getting updates.
once we go final all beta and rc releases will see their version strings bumped.

OK, my initial effort was to run the beta-2 as a live USB - no problems noticed
Second was to go to an installed beta-1 and updat / upgrade - no problem, everything looked to be upgraded nicely
What I didn't try was to install from the beta-2 USB - that failed. I was going to overwrite an MX-21.3 partition on one of the spare laptops BUT at the step ti select the partition (the SSD has 2 partitions, MX-21.3 and Debian 11 + a swap) things looked odd, almost I would guess like the Antix system? The MX-23 beta-1 didn't look like that and an install on another old laptop worked fine as expected.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Some more details would be good.
Have you made /selected "Check Integrity of the Live media"?
Also, we use the term "install" for installing MX Linux from a live Booted media
after boot.
The message "AntiX/linuxfs file could not be found" indicates
that the LiveBoot was not performed.
So suggest give more details, how you created the LiveBoot Media from the downloaded ISO.

antix uses the same installer, so likely identical or near to. should be dropdowns for the various partitions discovered.

I installed beta 2 in VirtualBox. Everything worked until I tried to remove all the locales I don't need.
In System Locales I unchecked everything except
en_US.UTF-8.
Then I set that to be the default.
It fails and gives this error.
Code: Select all
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_US.UTF-8...[error] cannot open locale definition file `en_GB': No such file or directory
done
Generation complete.
*** update-locale: Error: invalid locale settings: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
"Configure System Locales" canceled: exit [255]
I don't know why it's looking for `en_GB'. when that isn't selected.
It seems like this also happend earlier this year when I installed MX 21 but I don't remember how I fixed it.

did you assign a /boot partition? the installer shouldn't have let you proceed without one if encryption was enabled. I didn't see a /boot in your log.
Indeed, I did not. Why? From former experiences, knowing that installer has a good checking for improper setup (always had halted me, when encryption was enabled and I was trying to have boot on root partition), so I was experimenting, if it finally supports boot on root together with encryption.
So, installer let continue, with wrong (unsupported) setting.
(( Why, in the age of surveillance, when attacks on encryption are much easier, and funded by big entities, we still does not have working LUKS2 (which enables much safer PBKDF)?
What is holding smart programmers from making it working? ))
BUT:
Timeshift does not recognise BTRFS.
(its radio button is disabled)
Code: Select all
$ sudo btrfs subvolume list /
ID 256 gen 36 top level 5 path @
So, I double checked it (reinstalled once more), same result.
ok we are looking into why the installer let you continue without a boot partition, thanks for the report.
I can confirm the timeshift report as well. apparently it doesn't like a btrfs format inside a luks container. works OK if the btrfs partition is not encrypted.

+++EDIT+++
On UEFI systems, you can use rEFInd efi-bootmanager, to multi-boot through rEFInd provided EFI-bootoption menu,
which should also allow boot into any btrfs install.
That's fine especially cause one can install Grub2 and rEFInd as I read. But you will have to inform it about OS updates or added/deleted systems?
Would it there not be the better or equal behavior to hammer on the F12(at least on a DELL Latitude E6510) key at boot?
I idea for inventing rEFInd was something like an easier efi-bootmanager. It can be set as default efi-loader and would list all found efi-loader, not only those which are listed with NVRAM(and may be invalid already).
I thought when I hammered F12 the computer shows me the content of the EFI-SYSTEM parttion direct but you mean its the content of the NVRAM which is on the computer board? So a installation need to write to both? Therefore more than only one EFI partition may exist as long as in the NVRAM is stated which to use?

fehlix wrote: Fri Jun 16, 2023 5:54 pm
That's Ubuntu and secure-boot related issue, as all those ubuntu-flavors use just one efi-loader entry.
That's actually similar what Debian is now doing, so if you have to install two debian installations, you would only find one EFI-loader. One way to solve it, use for every such install a separate ESP.
So you mean that more than one may be created maybe on the same disk? Is this supported now? As I read on this
page it seems not to be supported? So I would need three or more to access my three Ubuntu-flavors, okay?

While you can continue to upgrade beta1 to use it, some default configs were changed in beta 2, so you won't really be helpful in debugging beta 2 in this thread.

From what I understand, normal grub in say, Arch, has os prober disabled but the user can edit /etc/default/grub to say no to disable os prober.
Apparently in Debian 12, in every update of grub package , they will redo the disabling of os prober so multi boot machines will not search for other distros or OSes again.
MX devs added their own script so that os prober will always be re-enabled. However that means that a user can't manually disable os prober from within that grub file. That instruction is ignored.

FWIW, I prefer to use 40_custom rather than manually editing grub.cfg. Haven't tested btrfs in a couple years (don't use), but worked fine then. Be sure to use /@ on the configfile line if appropriate.

- Scaling issues. It happens frequently that I need to rescale on boot (Display->Scaling->0.5). The system sometimes (not always) forgets my settings during reboots/wakepups.
- Crashes when connecting to an external screen (HDMI). First the option is shown how to use the external screen (mirror, extension, etc). After choosing, the computer reboots
- MX Linux animation on startup and shutdown is extremely slow, it takes almost a minute to run (this was smooth in a VM, not sure why not on metal)
- The notification 'Do not show this message again', for example when a network is found, is ignored. The message keeps on showing up. I had to put the machine in Do not disturb mode
- Telegram Desktop Flatpak cannot be installed using the software installer (Error pulling from repo: GPG verification enabled, but no signatures found)
My MacBook Pro 2013 13inch still has same problem.
And, I saw that In the youtube MX-23-b2 review movie,
boot animation protruding to the screen (too big animation image).
Then, We need to fix boot animation.
I will made 60% shrink animation .png. I will send it to
@CharlesV tonight,
I want you to prepare a test machine and review the code. I'm sorry for increase your work.
If you don't have a test machine, you might want something my 2013 MacBook Pro,

MX-Fluxbox 23beta2 already installed and works fine, but some issues remain:
1. No icon for MXFB-Font and Tint2-Manager in the Appfinder.
2. No descriptions for Polish localization for MXFB-Tour and Configure-Top icons in the Appfinder.
3. In MXFB-Tour there is a chapter, how to use the XFCE-Appfinder but we've got now MXFB-Appfinder.
I've got also another questions:
4. Is it possible to localize the categories script for Appfinder, that all users would have categories tab in their own language?
5. Are there any plans to localize also the help tab?

Some more details would be good.
Have you made /selected "Check Integrity of the Live media"?
Also, we use the term "install" for installing MX Linux from a live Booted media
after boot.
The message "AntiX/linuxfs file could not be found" indicates
that the LiveBoot was not performed.
So suggest give more details, how you created the LiveBoot Media from the downloaded ISO.

edit: some rephrasing to better convey what I meant
Just to put more context for other folks:
It is vitally important to choose good password. It is clear from this information:
Dead simple and accessible password attack against LUKS, for EVERYONE!
https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2020/08/brea ... ncryption/
For curious some background around mechanics in LUKS:
https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questi ... master-key
G'day. LUKS stores multiple copies of the master key in what it terms key slots. Each key-slot contains an encrypted copy of the master key, and it can vary in its password-based KDF parameters (and even algorithms). The parameters and algorithms can sometimes be wildly different, giving rise to the circumstance where forcing one key-slot may be infeasible, while another is fundamentally weak. (Both will yield the master key.)
For LUKS1, the best option for the password-based KDF is PBKDF2. For LUKS2, an additional option exists to use Argon2, which gives you the potential to make it even harder to force a corresponding key-slot... but in all cases this will depend on the hardness parameters chosen, as well as the relative strength of the password. (In LUKS2 both options can exist in parallel.)
And if you have master key already extracted...

I think kobaian means the text in the app tab itself, ie. Help and Settings.
Hopefully both "Categories" and "Help" tabs just a matter of adding gettext in the relevant scripts and creating po/mo files...

Well you don't have a DE installed, right? But you do have a WM, which is correctly identified as Fluxbox. Don't know what "Packages" is supposed to show ()number?), but I don't even have it listed as a category.
Why isn't this a neofetch problem?

@keos This is the right place...and if you hope for a response provide the Quick System Info and the version you installed
---------------------------
Hello,
I don't know if this is the right forum.
Anyway, I install the latest beta version of mx-23, I update it.
Some problems ...
Chromium as browser, I always uninstall firefox. In chromium I install Startpage, the default is Duckduckgo, I don't like it, it's inferior in the quality of the searches -- once the browser was configured, duckduckgo disappeared and Odysee appeared as default browser. (?)
The internet connection says Eth0 (?)
Can't do anything on the system now, it has lost connection to the internet. I'm posting here from MX-21.
As it is a Beta I would like to know if this is normal due to the instability of the system.
Thanks

@Jerry3904 I booted up several live ISO's with these results.
MX-23-Fluxbox-beta2-live-iso (DE listed just not Packages)
MX23-Fluxbox-beta2-live-iso.png
MX-21.3-XFCE-June_snapshot (DE listed just not Packages)
MX-21.3-XFCE-June_snapshot.png
Debian12-XFCE-live-iso (DE and Packages listed)
Debian12-XFCE-live-iso.png
I'm going to download MX-23-XFCE-beta2 live ISO and also boot my MX-21.3 fluxbox snapshot in the mean time to compare notes.

Click on the three vertical dots in the upper right hand corner, Scroll down to Settings, select Appearance and then insert your preference for your start page.

I removed neofetch from MXPI then purged it and removed the folder from ~./config and installed the version from Debian's bookworm ftp server (7.1.0-4)
Now it displays number of installed packages but with different information.

The version in our repo's has a different name (7.1.0+git20210726-0.2~mx21+1).

... is swap file now generally preferred way of setting up Linux system?
Swap file and swap partition both work fine. The former is more convenient on a single-install system, as it can be resized easily. The latter has the efficiency on a multi-boot system that it can be shared.
Thank you

By the way, you might add to Known Issues that the ISO won't at present boot from Ventoy, a problem hopefully to be fixed by future Ventoy update.
Ventoy code upgrade to allow MX Linux 23 to boot
How to find
https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_github_ci.html I had to poke into a few 'actions' to find one with download links.
Once downloaded and unarchived open terminal in folder of unzipped archive and run
Code: Select all
sudo sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -u /dev/sdX
where X is the target USB.
The -u switch is for upgrade...it doesn't touch the partition of ISOs. To install use the -i switch.

Thank you, that was the piece of the puzzle I was missing. If I've read that page before (likely enough), I had long since forgotten about it, so poking around on the
Actions page (
@fehlix's link) wasn't doing me any good. Notably, as
@siamhie mentions, one must have a GitHub account (I do) and have signed in (I hadn't) before the download links become available. FWIW, this
download link worked for me (though, again, only if logged into GitHub). Downloads a zip file; unzip to a tarball; extract; if using File Manager, right-click and select Open in Terminal. As you say, run
sudo sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -u /dev/sdx (where sdx is the device ID of the Ventoy drive).
And, yes, the patch works and I'm able to boot the beta2 ISOs from Ventoy.

hello dolphin_oracle
on side and off side
mxfluxbox rootMenu >Out of sight >Toggle icons "[exec] (Toggle icons) { idesktoggle icons }"
strip command of trailing single "s", fehlix put it in the script;
officially the command is without s <idesktoggle icon>
If You could have what You wanted for a CursorOver: cursor, What would that be? a helicopter? a dolphin?
a kat? I think the man cursor looks a bit like a helicopter..
irilii
Consider. icon [ on | off ] to be icon [ PageA | PageB ]
Page off=PageB starts Blank.
Get two idesk menues.
Method two
Have idesk running, showing icons,
using mx-idesktool
Create an idesk icon name PageA with its command <idesktoggele icon> then run
<idesktoggle icon PageA.lnk>
The toggle switches the PageA.icon-send-to-other-page.
Method one
Have idesk running
Turn the icons off with
fluxbox rootmenu >Out of sight >Toggle icons
Now open mx-idesktool
fluxbox rootmenu >Appearance >Desktop icons
Create an icon its name PageA with its command <idesktoggle icon>
Quit mx-idesktool.
Now idesk is two pages.
The PageA icon is a signal of icons off.
PageB is now "off" stage with a PageA icon meaning launch "on."
Add icons two separate pages.
You can now menu toggle the two idesk presentations or you might
Click on the icon you just made, takes it to Page A, open mx-idesktool and Create an icon named PageB with its command <idesktoggle icon>

Works:
- Updated all packages
- nvidia driver installer Installed correct nvidia 525 driver for quadro m5000
- nvidia driver installer also auto-installed the necessary cuda packages for nvenc (haven't seen any other distros include nvenc components)
- kdenlive and shotcut both utilize nvenc for gpu-based video rendering
- sound thru nvidia quadro hdmi works
- both network cards work fine
- mpt2sas driver works flawlessly with onboard LSI sata/sas raid controller working solid (experienced lockups under heavy load on freebsd)
- zfs modules load and can import/move/rename/scrub zfs mirrored pools and datasets
- gufw and ufw cli work fine
- enabled all hardening mitigations on kernel cli to see if anything breaks (can't break it yet)
What didn't work:
- couldn't wake up/resume from hibernate. confirmed same TPM bios settings as discussed with another user in beta1 thread so on me to fix
- kde-based ufw interface keeps showing "disconnected from backend" if I attempt to make a change
Nice work MX Team!

sudo sed -i.orig '2497s/^/#/; 2497aif [[ $(stat -c %d%D /proc) == $(stat -c %d%D /) ]]; then' /sbin/dkms
and check with re-installing the same package

I installed beta 2 in VirtualBox. Everything worked until I tried to remove all the locales I don't need.
In System Locales I unchecked everything except
en_US.UTF-8.
Then I set that to be the default.
It fails and gives this error.
Code: Select all
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_US.UTF-8...[error] cannot open locale definition file `en_GB': No such file or directory

Generation complete.
*** update-locale: Error: invalid locale settings: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
"Configure System Locales" canceled: exit [255]
I don't know why it's looking for `en_GB'. when that isn't selected.
It seems like this also happend earlier this year when I installed MX 21 but I don't remember how I fixed it.
what would this show:
and
and
I fixed it before I read this reply.
I ran those yesterday but don't remember what was missing.
I do remember that /etc/default/locale only had
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but it was commented out.
I also had the same thing happen on Debian 12. Both installed with US English as the default language but it couldn't find `en_GB' for some reason. I ran
sudo apt install --reinstall locales and then
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales on both MX 23 and Debian 12 and it generated the en_US.UTF-8 locale with no errors and without commenting out anything in /etc/default/locale.
Maybe you remember, how you "managed" to get this error. What settings have been selected when booted live
and when you run the installer. Anything changed like timezone and/or locale/language?
Also maybe mention what beta2 ISO you have installed, b/c we have some more than just one.
So anything like this would potential help first to reproduce and maybe also to fix the cause of the issue.

This was the Xfce desktop. I didn't change anything on the live ISO before I installed it. I think the only thing I changed on the installer was US central time zone. Everything else was default US settings.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce. Kept all defaults.
After install changed timezone to us-central and disabled all locale except en_US.UTF-8. And all is how it should be with no error messages.

i can tell that it recognizes the --oem switch , because it is not switching windows toward the names input then it fails. The regular non --oem install is switching to the names window before the fail hits.

Yesterday I had difficulties changing in 'settings manager' > 'system keyboard' the configuration in order to be able to type the appropriate symbols of my language; no matter how much I restarted the system it would not enter/accept the changes, only after a total shutdown ...
But now, from this moment on, the network icon that should be on the panel xfce4 has disappeared (?).
*Note:
There had appeared on the panel some usa-little flags probably indicating the change / language, I removed them ... maybe along with them went the network icon. (?) -- If so, how could it be returned ...?.
Thanks

Been trying to get Beta-2, Xfce (64-bit) to work with VirtualBox.
Was spotty, but finally got it installed (32GB vdi, 16GB RAM).
Updates, partially, but with a number of errors: "HASH MISMATCH", "pipe broken", "can't get package" (or something to that effect).
I can't post to the Forum from VBox because Firefox keeps crashing.
Unfortunately, also having trouble with copying /var/log/mxpi(.install?) to Host machine, so I can't at this point relay relevant info from VBox environment.
Could use some suggestions about best way to set it up.

'mx-updater' is not displayed, i used 'synaptic', reload and apply ... reboot. ...
Now I have a horrendous panel looks like 'fluxbox', although it still saying: xfce4-panel 4.18.2

@Jerry3904 Would it be possible to include cursors with MXFB-Look?
That's definitely a question for Melber. It wouldn't happen though until after Final -- we're smack dab in the middle of feature freeze now.
@siamhie I have been fiddling with mxfb-look to include gkrellm monitor and dock settings. Can look into adding cursors too...but, as Jerry said, it won't be happening before final release.
OK, thanks
@Melber.
One other item that I brought up in beta 1 was certain styles display a sub-menu with more than 34 items as one long entry.
@m_pav @Jerry3904 ?
If you edit that particular style and change the value for menu.bevelWidth: from 1 to 2 then the entries are set into 2 columns.
It would be easier if an entry was added to Overlay so that any style that has the value 1 gets set to 2 automatically.

@ Jerry3904
I went to the user manual to where the information about Xfce4 is, over there I found an alternative:
MX Tweak > Panel tab, click "Options" button under Docklike
It's not exactly like that but after a little struggle with the little window that opened ... I could 'apply' ... and in a few seconds the 'default panel' appeared -- I just lost the settings, a minor problem!.
Thanks.

I'm having a problem with booting. It looks like something has gone awry with the install but I've repeated it with the same result. Live USB runs fine, install 64-bit XFCE to SSD, /dev/sdb6, labelled rootMX23, swap to /dev/sdc11. Grub not installed to EFI, updated later on MX-21.
Booting stops early with errors re files not found. Screen photo attached.
bootfail.jpg
One oddity I notice - at the fsck /dev/sda6 message, the
data-3-6 is the label on an empty partition on another disk. On another booting attempt it was
data-2-6, which is an empty partition on a 3rd disk. There seem to be a lot of error messages in the
minstall.log file.
minstall.log
For completeness, QSI.

Windows and samba shares
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2023 12:26 pm
by bbfuller
I was interested to follow this topic:
viewtopic.php?t=75664
about Windows discovery of samba shares and the recommendation to install the "wsdd" package.
I've just done that on a 21.3 installation and in a 23-beta1.
The 21.3 installation came from the test repository and works as far as a cursory test is concerned.
sudo service wsdd status
reveals a running service with no further input required on my behalf.
On the 23-beta1 system after install the service status command results in
wsdd: unrecognized service
Is there something I am missing?
The wsdd file is in /usr/sbin on both machines

I would really like to try Beta-2 on VirtualBox, so if anyone has suggestions:

Frankly, this sounds like a VBox issue, rather than a problem with the beta2 release. Many users (myself included) have had no difficulty installing beta2 in VBox. I do see the broken pipe errors mentioned upthread when updating the Realtek dkms modules ("/usr/bin/dkms: line 2497: echo: write error: broken pipe"), but the VM runs fine otherwise.

Installing without GRUB is possible, But you would get a GRUB menu entry generated on MX-21 with root=/dev/sdXY, where the device name is used which can be problemeatic, b/c when not using root=UUID=xxxx the device name may have changed next boot (b/c assigned differently by the kernel) and the grub menu may not work anymore. Suggest to always install GRUB, even if not used as primary boot menu.

What I would do in your shoes is wait for MX-23 to go final, then if the problem persists open a support thread on the topic.

You could install grub to the root partition and it won’t effect previously installed grub.

MX Fluxbox:
Latest installer upgrade took away minstall-pkexec ( in favour of recently introduced minstall-launcher)
which makes Installer icon on MX Fluxbox non-functional.

Sounds good.
A bit weird, since I installed Windows (7 & 10) in VirtualBox, with Guest Additions, and Shared Folders between Guest & Host, working with no problems at all.
Anyway, will take your advice, and keep working at it...

Just wanted to report that I could successfully install (full disc) and use fluxbox 64 bit edition beta 2 on an old Dell Inspiron 9400 with disc encryption. Didn't notice any obvious problems. Even hibernate works (checked the box on installation) flawlessly. Great job MX Team. :)

Progress with VirtualBox:
Turned-off my VPN.
Now, got through install, with many errors (see below), but at least, it completed, and now the Updater Box is clear.
Main problem with VirtualBox (Beta2, Xfce, 64-bit) is that anything I try to install (simple screen recorder, gnome-games, redshift, etc.), the installer keeps trying to install rtl8821ce & rtl8821cu.
Here are some examples of the errors:
Code: Select all
/usr/sbin/dkms: write error: Broken pipe
E: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Whenever I try to install anything in VirtualBox, it goes through, but also tries to install the rtl8821ce business, and I get errors for both: dkms & dpkg.
The programs DO INSTALL: I now have on VirtualBox all the programs mentioned above.
However, another, and bigger, issue is that Firefox crashes (in VirtualBox) after a very short while. I never have enough time to log-in to the Forum and post my QSI, let alone the issue I'm having.
If there's nothing here regarding Beta-2, I'll lay this to rest, and do as
@pbear suggested, and just wait for the final MX23 to come out.
My instance of MX23-Beta2 on VirtualBox seems that it should work: 32GB vdi, 16GB RAM, full 128MB for display, etc.
Anyway, maybe it's time to move on and keep testing on hardware.

Hi there,
Can I ask a simple question here?
How can I upgrade beta1 from beta2 iso without losing my home and setings?
I didnt want to reinstall from scratch and have to handle configs again.
Thanks
just run your regular updates. I'm not changing the labels for updated systems from beta1 and beta2, but you are getting updates.
once we go final all beta and rc releases will see their version strings bumped.
Well, I ended up installing beta2 from live media for a good surprise!
I started to backup the home folder, but during installation when I was to choose the partition I found an option "delete system files and keep home folder as btrfs"
Worked just fine!
I'm loving this MX+xfce it's my best Linux experience to date!
Keep on guys!
I'll update on my journey though installing discrete nvidia 740M and intel HD4000 and make them switchable.
It will be fun as newer kernels dont fully support it i guess?
We'll see!

Working on optimizing the MXLiveLogo startup/shutdown animation ... I just found that shutdown animation is no longer working in MX23 Beta.
I have verified this with several different themes:
gerson
greatest
glow
percentage
spinner
spinfinty
MXLiveLogo
and pretty much everything that has a "shutdown" screen ( havent checked them all, some dont.)
Trying now to find out the why, I suspect some different call that debian is making on shutdown, but at this point I can only say - "Its Broken"

Same thing I found during the builds, FF in VB is an absolute no-go and I haven't been able to find a work-around.
Set up a shared folder from your host to the virtual appliance. Machine Settings > Shared Folders > Add, set permissions and automount, provide a simple name. Keep all things the same for simplicity, we'll go with the name Host. On your daily driver, make a folder called Host and use this folder as the source, the Share name and the mount point in the VM
Boot the VM, create a new folder called Host, open a terminal and issue the command as below.
This is required for running Live, but for an installed VM, you only need the VirtualBox extensions installed in the virtual OS. Personally, I never install the extension pack, I just do as above. When you're all done, you can use this folder to transfer content between the host and the guest.

FWIW, I'm not having any difficulty with Firefox + beta2 + VBox. That's what I'm using to post this reply.
By the way, another (and to my mind simpler) way to port the VM's QSI to the host is copy-and-paste. Just tested and worked for me.
Finally, is there any reason
@operadude shouldn't solve his
Realtek module problem by uninstalling those packages?
As a quick test (using a snapshot), sudo apt remove rtl*-dkms seemed not to cause problems, but as I say, only a quick test.

I had set-up VB with a shared folder, as you outlined, but I left-out the VB hint (in dialog box):

@m_pav : Thanks for this:
Set up a shared folder from your host to the virtual appliance. Machine Settings > Shared Folders > Add, set permissions and automount, provide a simple name. Keep all things the same for simplicity, we'll go with the name Host. On your daily driver, make a folder called Host and use this folder as the source, the Share name and the mount point in the VM
Boot the VM, create a new folder called Host, open a terminal and issue the command as below.
Can confirm that VB using shared folder is working for MX23-BETA2(XFCE, x64). Here's a screenshot of my VB settings (right-hand side), with VB using a shared folder (lower middle portion), and the Host machine showing the 2 files in VB in Host's directory (upper left portion of the screenshot), called "VB_HOST":

Any recommendations about using a different browser in the VM(VB)?

@m_pav :
Forgot to mention that I am just using the following, inside VB, from a Terminal, every VB session:
Code: Select all
$ sudo mount -t vboxsf VB_HOST ~/VB_HOST
I need to do this each session of the VB. It's not automatic. I guess that's what you meant:
This is required for running Live, but for an installed VM, you only need the VirtualBox extensions installed in the virtual OS. Personally, I never install the extension pack, I just do as above. When you're all done, you can use this folder to transfer content between the host and the guest.
Yeah, easy enough to just use the Terminal one-liner, and not even worry about the "extensions" (Guest Additions?).
Again, thanks for that. Working like a charm

Yesterday I happened to see
siamhie's referral to a potential scenario to
upgrade MX21 to MX23.
Out of curiosity, I installed a latest snapshot of my MX21 system to a usb-3 drive (This actually is a skinny fluxbox install on a stripped-down MX21 setup, i.e with all xfce4-elements taken out) .
I then followed the instructions that @adrian provided in the wiki - just to see how this would work out.
During preparation, the command to write 'non-free-firmware' to the debian list failed, so I edited the list file manually.
Note that my 13y old laptop doesn't need the rtl8821* firmware, and as such the rtml8821*-dkms packages were already absent on my MX21 setup; as a result, I was spared from the potential dkms 'broken pipe' error.
The upgrade proces was smooth as silk, and finished without any real errors. It did take some time though, probably since I had over 2000 packages installed - and most likely the used usb drive didn't allow fast processing either.
I'm really happy with the endresult, I got a fully working MX23 setup, which hardly needed any adjustments. Had some problems with 'QSI-mx' throwing an error - and sofar I only needed to adjust a few exec paths to MX-tools in my fluxbox' rootmenu. Afterwards, I also installed the pipewire meta-package, which required some changes to be made to a few tint2-executor scripts. Surely, I will find some other small issues that would need adjustment, but overall the result is very satisfactory.
That said, I want to emphasize that this upgrade action may well be
unsuccesful on other installations. The only way to check this, would be to test it on a snapshot, installed on a separate drive. And please take @adrian's warning at heart: before doing system-wide changes
make a backup of your data and system.
About the wallpaper in the screenshot: I haven't a clue who portrayed Dolphin_Oracle so well... Oh well...

In the same vein, I found that the MX-Comfort conky configs need some attention (e.g., battery not reporting)--will look tonight.
Presume you mean MX-Comfort-Sysinfo.
Perhaps it needs the BAT0 / BAT1 check that was added in the MX-Cowon conkys?

Yup, and temp is not reporting either (running live, maybe sensors missing?).
There's a spacing problem somewhere as well, haven't looked closely yet.

@ceeslans Thanks for your recent post about upgrading to MX23:
viewtopic.php?p=730037#p730037
And, thanks
@Adrian for your article about MX21 -> MX23 upgrade:
https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/upgradi ... nstalling/
Definitely will try it out on an MX21 system (old laptop) that doesn't have any data on it.
This reminds me that there's SO much more to learn, just in the MX Wiki alone
Another amazing source to review, before jumping into the Forum to find answers.

You may have update to latest version of mx-installer, where you missed to mention which version that would be.
The version released yesterday (?) appears to have subvolume-btrfs issue and a bug-fixed version is worked on
or already on the way to the repos.

I have to say, I've hopped a lot of distros, but this is my first stint with Xfce. I've been on the beta now for two weeks, using the platform professionally (12+ hours a day). I have had no problems with this at all.
I did have to flip it over to systemd to work with some init pods, but overall, the presentation is impressive.

OK, thanks.
Is it enough to make the Live-USB persistence and update it? Or must update the host system and make a new snapshot and USB?

I also tried last night to use the beta2 snapshot feature and it didn't work with the same result during installation from iso/usb
I tried sudo, not using -E option, changing to root... no use.
"No subvolumes could be created." error at 11% formating partition (btrfs) on minstall gui.
I ended up copying the home folder and changing permissions to $user home folder, so it could boot using config files from last snapshot over a fresh beta2 installation.

You would use the updated mx-installer within the running live system, regardless whether persistence is used or running read-only e.g from ISO. The installer takes what the live system is running to install onto target drive(s).

The latest version 23.6.05mx23, which shsosuld be available by now on the repo's and potentially on the mirrored -repos, is suppost to have fixed the "cannot create subvolume" issue.

using KDE version. Can not get syanptics touchpad driver to work on this version. I prefer it to libinput as it allows touchpad to be disabled when mouse is plugged in. I can use touchpad indicator an do similar but prefer synaptics.

Not clear what you mean with not being able to get it to work, but dId you already try the toggle in MX Tweak > Other tab?

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the reply. I simply mean the under system setting in KDE Hardware, Input devices, touchpad it will not give the option for disabling touchpad when mouse is plugged in.
Normally with some other distros if I install synaptics touchpad driver from repositories and reboot it then allow this function, but on Beta 2 it does not change anything and it's not offered.
I don't see anything on my install in tweaks that seems to do that either. I tried the setting use intel drivers but all that did was cause my screen to flash. In any event touchpad-indicator works.
But there should be a way to get synaptics working also. I understand this may be a KDE problem and no MX.

trying to copy to the Ventoy:
1 the snapshot finished very fast ... (?)
2 when copy to the ventoy and openned the app to start with the system in ventoy:
Fatal Error:
Could not find file antiX/linufs
Edit:
Instead now I copy it to a USB and it comes out correctly, so the snapshot did its job well, the problem is when copying it to ventoy.
Failure to format EFI-Partition
Posted: Wed Jun 21, 2023 10:39 am
by Frankarnold
A very simple setup: Just one 64GB eMMC, regular install using the entire disk:
failed to format efi-partition, formatting stops at 11% or 12%
MX-21 ahs: tried N times, never worked, same result with custom install, WHEREAS:
all others did full install with no problem: Win10, Win11, Fedora37, Fedora38, Ubuntu Mint etc.
MX-23-2 beta installed - finally - on 3rd attempt.
Does this make any sense ?

You will need to download the ventoy-linux patch.
Once downloaded and unarchived open terminal in folder of unzipped archive and run
Code: Select all
sudo sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -u /dev/sdX
where X is the target USB.
The -u switch is for upgrade...it doesn't touch the partition of ISOs.

iPhone USB network tethering seems to work only when booting using systemd.
Testing with fresh MX-23 Beta 2 installation and `libimobiledevice-utils` package installed. The `idevicepair pair` command doesn't initiate connection with USB connected iPhone (SE 2020) and simply returns "No device found." without any reaction on the phone.
USB network tethering and idevice*-commands are working after booting with systemd. When connecting USB cable the phone asks if the computer is to be trusted after which computer gets connected through it's mobile network as it does with stock Debian (or Mac).
File management on iOS / iDeviceMounter remains broken regardless of init system, but noted from other threads that it's a known issue.

I already have installed Ventoy into the system and i fallowed this instruction, in order to 'copy' the snaptshot file to ventoy:
After you’ve downloaded your favorite Linux operating system ISO(s), place them on the Ventoy USB device, and allow them to copy over. Copying should take no more than a few minutes.
When copying is finished, reboot the PC and keep the Ventoy USB plugged in. Then, load up the BIOS. Once you’ve loaded up your computer’s BIOS, find the boot options, and configure the system to boot from USB.
You will see a “Ventoy” menu. Ventoy will display all ISO files you’ve added to the system in this menu.
but it do not work
"... place them on the Ventoy USB device, and allow them to copy over ..."
and it did ... but after have copied it ... and reboot, (BIOS ...etc):
in the ventoy, is that the failure appears, the already copied system does not boot it.

The proposed solution solves exactly your problem - iso does not boot properly.
Login at ventoy github, download patch, apply patch to the ventoy usb, then the ISO will boot.

@FullScale4Me I can't get my mouse cursor to change to the <--> character but I am able to find that spot to grab.

k3b & Xfburn - weird issues...
Posted: Wed Jun 21, 2023 5:59 pm
by MintHawk
A weird issue came up today while trying to burn an audio CD.
The software I've been using for more than 15 years, k3b, was unable to burn a CD/DVD due to permission insufficiency with the burner.

It said I needed to go to k3b configuration and give permission to growisofs, etc.
I've never witnessed such an issue before. I looked it up, but whatever I tried didn't work. Eventually, I had to burn the project with Xfburn.
And then, the second issue came up:
It was a bunch of .mp3s and another of .flac files. The .flacs burned fine but the .mp3s sounded distorted, for some reason.
When it occurred to me that this was the case, I converted them to .flac and the burned result was fine.
Both these things happened on the PC running MX23 Beta in my parents' home.
I'm now trying the same thing on my desktop PC running the same MX.
Can anybody explain what happened?
P.S. I thought it was a software thing, so I posted it there, but the thread was locked.

The same thing happens on my desktop PC.
As for Xfburn, the same thing again: the burned result coming from .mp3s is distorted, whereas the burned result that was .flacs is fine.

Is there any chance we'll see an MX-23_AHS beta? The non-AHS version will not run on some newer computers, so there is no way to take part in the trial.

MX 23 currently has a 6.1.0-9 Debian LTS kernel. Try booting from a live USB.
Re: MX-23 beta 2 feedback thread

@TTwrs, AHS versions are not usually built to after the full release has had a bit of time to settle. You can still contribute to an extent by using virtualisation and with your level of hardware, running a Type2 Hypervisor like VirtualBox would have next to no impact on your system resources.
If you're up for a challenge, you could "roll your own" AHS respin manually in the Hyprevisor, and snapshot it to get an ISO, but, it wouldn't be useful in our current testing.
k3b & Xfburn - weird issues...

Back to the burning issue...
I installed Mint 21.2 Beta and after installing k3b (on the live USB), I successfully burned the project.
I'm thinking it's an issue with either XFCE or MX Beta, although I've seen it mentioned in other distros as well...
It's worth looking into, though, since k3b is probably one of the best pieces of open source software.

Not sure.
I'm gonna check it tomorrow.
What I can safely say, though, is that on Mint 21.2 Beta XFCE (same version as MX23) the burn process was completed successfully.
It seems to me that Ubuntu has nailed it with this one and that it might be a Debian thing...

Perhaps I should not call it a bug, as it appears on MATE desktop when we add MATE simply from MX-Package-Installer.

k3b & Xfburn - weird issues...
Posted: Thu Jun 22, 2023 6:14 am

Revisiting the burning issue with k3b and Xfburn:
On Mint XFCE 21.2 Beta, everything works fine. k3b works great, no errors, Xfburn burns .mp3s without the above-mentioned distortion and easyMP3gain can easily be installed via Snap instead of manually downloading the front-end here (as stated in another thread). Also, on the other PC which runs MX23 Beta, for some reason, easyMP3gain does not work, but on the PC I'm using right now it does...
I'm pretty sure things with k3b are gonna be OK on MX23 KDE Beta 2, but for the sake of the argument, I'll download it and check it out so the developers now where to focus.
Overall, each one uses their PC for their own personal reasons, with a set of specific tasks in mind they want to perform.
There are some who still burn CDs (for some crazy reason) and it seems I cannot do that right now on MX23 Beta. Thus, I'll have to uninstall MX23 Beta from the other PC
and install an Ubuntu derivative that does the job (probably Mint XFCE). However, I wouldn't like to uninstall MX23 from this PC, so I would appreciate it if a solution could be found concerning the issue with k3b. Alternatively, I'll have to go for another distro that can do that hassle free.

I can confirm that K3b fails to burn to CD, giving the error message:

cdrecord has no permission to open the device.
Modify device settings in K3b to solve this problem.

-- burned a folder with 10 images
--no errors, files written and accessible
k3b & Xfburn - weird issues...

@Jerry3904, I don't know what you did differently...Did you try burning music files?
@chrispop99, same issue.
And, after trying it on MX23 Beta2 KDE, the problem persists...
Are you sure it's not an MX issue...?

More informacion:
snapshot is able to copy the system, but ... is it able to be added into ventoy?
Screenshot_2023-06-22_08-42-11.png
Is it a problem of ventoy or of mx-23 beta?
Thanks
EDIT:
loading hardware specific modules
Scan usb.cd devices
look for boot file (s)
antiXlinuxfs
Fatal Error ....

@keos If you haven't applied the patch to your Ventoy flash drive it won't boot.

currently, there is a bug in Ventoy that prevents it from working with MX 23. There is a fix available, but the Ventoy developers have yet to include it in their build. The best advice for you is to use one of the other USB install drive creation tools for now.

Weighing in on this k3b issue (from my end--MX23 fluxbox beta2).
Installed k3b and recommended packages. Launched k3b from terminal to monitor any errors.
Gabbed 5 mp3's from my hard drive and burned them to my cdr disc with no problems.
Audio CD plays in qmplay2.
Here's the terminal outputs.

I can not understand, I guess it is a very difficult issue, if you mean the new version ... because the one I have is ventoy-1.0.63 which is the same one I made mx-21 with. Any way thank for trying to help.

He's right, all it takes is for VENTOY devs to update the files MX team renamed lately.
Boot proc searches for older MX names and can't boot. It will be addressed eventually, until then just burn to a spare usb drive.

It's not a big thing, but apt sources.list mention in the description BULLSEYE although the deb URL is correctly pointing to Bookworm. Just that.

Hi
@keos,
current Ventoy version is 1.0.91.
https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_news.html
Every ISO of particular distribution version can be slightly different and therefore some older Ventoy versions might not recognize it correctly, and did not apply particular treatment to boot it correctly.
This is your issue. Even the current Ventoy does not know, how to boot correctly particular MX 23 version. (yes, it is indeed different from MX 21 in this regard).
So, if you want to boot MX 23 with Ventoy, you must:
1. Login to github to your github account, to make visible download of special files to you. (If you do not have account there, you can make it for free)
2. Locate file, download it.
3. Apply it to your existing Ventoy USB. It must be *current* *latest* version, 1.0.91.
The exact procedure is described in the post mentioned by others.
Regards,
Andy

How do I get rid of the sed error so I can finish the upgrade?
Looking forward to the final release of MX23. I have three units to deploy and a half dozen personal units to upgrade.
Thanks to all involved for all the work on MX.

On the web-page, the single quotes and double-quotes are displayed wrongly (or better have been
replaced by the used web-software.
And if you just copy paste the command those quotings chars will result in such an error,
b/c they have been replaced wrongly by the web-site rendering software (I think wordpress )
So you need edit first the copied command and replace all single quotes and double quotes properly:
e.g. this commnad is wrong:
Code: Select all
find /etc/apt -name “*.list” -exec sudo sed -i ‘s/bullseye/bookworm/g’ {} +
replace all
“ and
” with normal double quotes
"
and all singel quotes
‘ and
’ with normal single quotes
'
so it looks like this:
Code: Select all
find /etc/apt -name "*.list" -exec sudo sed -i 's/bullseye/bookworm/g' {} +
the same for the other command.
wrong:
Code: Select all
grep -qF ‘non-free-firmware’ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list || sudo sed -i ‘s/non-free/non-free non-free-firmware/g’ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list

@Adrian suggest to use codebox for these commands to avoid those quot-char issue.
Maybe
@peregrine could help to add those codeboxes,
on this page
https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/upgradi ... nstalling/
something similare was done on the Signature verifcation web-page
https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/signed-iso-files/,
where codeboxes have been added by

Well, I can not see any difference on my screen between the lines I posted and the lines you posted, but I did copy/paste your lines into the terminal and it is in the process of downloading and installing 1700+ updates. :D I will post back with results when it finishes. Thank you fehlix.

I made the quoting chars above a bit bigger, so you see the difference.
that those quote chars are different:
Double:
“ and
” "
Singel:
‘ and
’ '
And yes it's not easily to see on the commnad line, but you got error b/c those are different chars not allowed for
quoting on bash command line.

I ended up going to synaptic just to browse again... and the search for GAIL is different from LIBGAIL, my bad.
I also reenabled the status tray plugin on my panel.

hello dolphin_oracle
mx-installer 23.6.05
minstall --oem Success.
finished; then startup ootb.
install had a home/demo directory that i deleted.
yes home has a demo and the user the ootb just created. demo is not an account, just a directory, so i delete the directory.
The previous installer triggered once --ootb on a xfce install and was got the same stray /demo directory. i deleted it.
Beautiful. almost the new default except the spare /demo.
Best installer in the business.

I am trying to upgrade from 21.3 to MX23. I am following the instructions found here:
https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/upgradi ... nstalling/
All is good until I run the following command as root in terminal:
Code: Select all
$ find /etc/apt -name “*.list” -exec sudo sed -i ‘s/bullseye/bookworm/g’ {} +
This is the error I get:
Code: Select all
$ grep -qF ‘non-free-firmware’ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list || sudo sed -i ‘s/non-free/non-free non-free-firmware/g’ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `�'
On the web-page, the single quotes and double-quotes are displayed wrongly (or better have been
replaced by the used web-software.
And if you just copy paste the command those quotings chars will result in such an error,
b/c they have been replaced wrongly by the web-site rendering software (I think wordpress )
So you need edit first the copied command and replace all single quotes and double quotes properly:
e.g. this commnad is wrong:
Code: Select all
find /etc/apt -name “*.list” -exec sudo sed -i ‘s/bullseye/bookworm/g’ {} +
replace all
“ and
” with normal double quotes
"
and all singel quotes
‘ and
’ with normal single quotes
'
so it looks like this:
Code: Select all
find /etc/apt -name "*.list" -exec sudo sed -i 's/bullseye/bookworm/g' {} +
the same for the other command.
wrong:
Code: Select all
grep -qF ‘non-free-firmware’ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list || sudo sed -i ‘s/non-free/non-free non-free-firmware/g’ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
corrected:
Code: Select all
grep -qF 'non-free-firmware' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list || sudo sed -i 's/non-free/non-free non-free-firmware/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list

UPDATE
If any one has a problem with error:
Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/dg2_huc_gsc.bin for module i915
or similar do this
Code: Select all
~$ mkdir firmware
~$ cd firmware

~$ sudo mv *.bin /lib/firmware/i915/
~$ sudo update-initramfs -c -k all
Also errors with RTL8812AU (search github for updated drivers of your device - mine is RTL8821CE - for kernel 6x and read the docs)
Code: Select all

~$ sudo dkms build -m rtl8812au -v 5.13.6
~$ sudo dkms install -m rtl8812au -v 5.13.6
although because of a warning from using build and installed different modules after retries I ended up using:
Code: Select all
~$ dkms status

~$ sudo dkms remove rtl8812au/5.13.6 -k <kernel from dkms status here>

~$ dkms status
~$ rtl8812au/5.13.6, 6.1.0-9-amd64, x86_64: installed
There maybe typos here... I'm using also a dozen kernels for testing future nvidia modules from v5 to v6 also ahs...

Is there any reason not to remove the Realtek -dkms packages, assuming of course the user doesn't have a Realtek wireless adapter?
If a user has a Realtek adapter, is there any reason not to remove the other two packages (keeping only the one matching the adapter)?

I tried installing MX 21.3 on some old machine (dual core from 2008??) from network through PXE.
I had similar error like the VENTOY ones.
Don't know if it's the PXE firmware version...
I managed to boot from PE based disk management like AOMEI and MACRIUM though...

@i_ri custom-toolbox should be a default install on all iso s. xfce, kde, mxfluxbox.
<custom-toolbox> needs to be a dependency for <mx-fluxbox>; right now mx-fluxbox installs without custom-toolbox.
The MXFB Settings Manager is using it, so you might want to check again

Some "cosmetic" errors do still show up:

Error: /ventoy/hook/debian/antix-disk.sh: line 49: vtoy_unsquashfs: not found
but seems not to prevent from booting.
You can view the live-log on screen with disabled splasht-screen or with [Alt]+F1 on VT1
or on live booted either on command line with colors
Code: Select all
less -R /var/log/live/initrd.log.color
ventoy-hook-error.jpg
or just using "Quick System Info" tool:
ventoy-live-log.jpg
Will do @fehlix when RC rolls out. In the mean time, ISO's seem to boot without the antiX error message.
I already addressed the github team the GTK GUI errors I got, but it still works and installs... just some minor stuff.
You should think about checking it and help addressing your issues with the Ventoy team directly? here:

I tried installing MX 21.3 on some old machine (dual core from 2008??) from network through PXE.
I had similar error like the VENTOY ones.

I believe the current MX/antiX live system won't boot through PXE.

Ventoy installs but deletes/formats everything ...
I was installing this option: Source code (tar.gz)
Switch for option:
ventoy-1.0.93-linux.tar.gz
and it worked correctly
... but it erased the previously installed system: MX-21
*During the installation it said something like it was going to format the "device", I assumed it was the partition inside the corresponding ventoy ... not all of it ...

Please read ventoy FAQ or Help and README provided by ventoy.

That's the default behaviour for a USB creation tool. You should chalk this one up to a learning experience, Always, always, if you are going to reuse USB drives for this purpose, check them first to be sure that they contain nothing important.

I have a Minisforum Neptune HX99G. This mini PC has AMD Radeon™ RX 6600M dedicated video card and a AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX Processor with GPU as well (AMD Radeon™ 680M).
At live boot I get a screen to select one. MX Linux will only boot from the processor graphic not from the dedicated AMD Radeon™ RX 6600M. Don't know why. If I select this one,
My monitor will go black and it gets like disconnected. Any ideas?

In the BIOS there should be a setting which will control which GPU will be used for the primary display. Make sure it is set to start with your discrete GPU instead of the IGPU.

Librewolf is not available because this is a beta release and the repositories are not nearly complete. I think that you would be better off to return to MX 21.3 and wait for the release candidates before attempting to upgrade.

Dear Developers,
mx-packageinstaller-pkglist (in /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist ) does not reflect mx-packageinstaller-description which has been translated at Transifex.
As a result, descriptions are still indicated in default English. See the attached image for reference.
Best regards,
Green
i do not have the tools to import the strings form transifex into the package descriptions. all that was set up by other people. if someone wants to do it and make a pull request to our git hub for mx-packageinstaller-pkglist, I will surely incorporate them.

likley you did nothing wrong, but I would file a bug with librewolf. that is a third-party repo and we do not package it, they do.

Revisiting the burning issue with k3b and Xfburn:
On Mint XFCE 21.2 Beta, everything works fine. k3b works great, no errors, Xfburn burns .mp3s without the above-mentioned distortion and easyMP3gain can easily be installed via Snap instead of manually downloading the front-end here (as stated in another thread). Also, on the other PC which runs MX23 Beta, for some reason, easyMP3gain does not work, but on the PC I'm using right now it does...
I'm pretty sure things with k3b are gonna be OK on MX23 KDE Beta 2, but for the sake of the argument, I'll download it and check it out so the developers now where to focus.
Overall, each one uses their PC for their own personal reasons, with a set of specific tasks in mind they want to perform.
There are some who still burn CDs (for some crazy reason) and it seems I cannot do that right now on MX23 Beta. Thus, I'll have to uninstall MX23 Beta from the other PC
and install an Ubuntu derivative that does the job (probably Mint XFCE). However, I wouldn't like to uninstall MX23 from this PC, so I would appreciate it if a solution could be found concerning the issue with k3b. Alternatively, I'll have to go for another distro that can do that hassle free.
are you burning music or data cds?

OK. What about the 'two chromiums', one say it is 'auto mode' and other 'manual mode' ... which one is the real one?

They are the same thing. "auto" just means that it has been automatically selected as your default browser.

If your hardware likes the ahs releases will it be OK to run these betas? I just realized that when updating kernels from an ahs one, that works, one should stick with ahs. Not sure how MX-23 relates to the liquorix kernels, if at all.

and it worked correctly
... but it erased the previously installed system: MX-21
*During the installation it said something like it was going to format the "device", I assumed it was the partition inside the corresponding ventoy ... not all of it ...
It should be able to keep a partition to itself, and UPDATE it not format it all...
I also did that on a 256GB drive and it worked. I did update it though I don't know if you chose the wrong option or if it's a bug.
This version is very buggy !

hello.
Congratulations for the upcoming release.
I would like to recall an old post I have made about mx-comfort theme and Thunderbird:

That issue still remains.
Just in case.

Updated a stick to the latest Ventoy version (using GUI), generated modified ISO snapshots.
From mod-ISO used MXPI to add handbrake, libbdplus, libbluray, libdvdcss;
used
copy/paste (substituting Bookworm for Bullseye) to add makemkv via deb.
Test rig couldn't play Blu-ray disc directly (can't play 1080p with vlc) but handbrake-shrunk 480p played OK.
Re: How can I disable os-prober in MX-23 beta 2
Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2023 2:35 am
by wizardfromoz
Hello. I downloaded and installed the XFCE version.
My situation is rather unique in that I run 76 Linux Distros on this Dell rig.
My practice with other Distros is to modify or add a line in /etc/default/grub to show
but I cannot do that here, and have it work, in MX-23 Beta2.
Why is this so important? Because os-prober takes, as per my document
MX-23 Beta 2 - HDD
real 130m2.718s
NOTE - when os-prober disabled (moved /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to Documents)
real 4m41.887s , saved 2hr 5min 20sec !!

I have a rather cumbersome workaround for this at the moment
Workaround for now to disable os-prober
1. Modify /etc/default/grub to comment out last three of four lines, ie edit to
#if [ -e /etc/default/grub.mx-defaults ]; then
# . /etc/default/grub.mx-defaults
#fi
2. Move grub.mx-defaults from /etc/default to Documents
3. Move 30_os-prober script from /etc/grub.d to Documents.
This then, reduces updating grub by time 2 hours.
Output, then, is
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found theme: /boot/grub/themes/mx_linux/mytheme.txt
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-9-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-9-amd64
Found mtest-64.efi image: /boot/uefi-mt/mtest-64.efi
Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration
done
To re-enable, reverse the steps.
I also wonder why the change from previous versions, on this subject.
Thanks

There's a much simpler way to disable OS prober: sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober. Put a comment in /etc/default/grub so you will remember what you've done. If you prefer to move it, I suggest /root (the home folder of user-root) makes more sense than Documents. What changed, by the way, is a perception by the Grub developers (about a year ago?) that os-prober is a potential security risk.

I know exactly how @wizardfromoz feels, though I "only" have 15 distros instead of 76. I find the time to generate grub.cfg for 15 distros is already long, so it must be an eternity for you.
As for why the change, it's because Debian decided for Bookworm that even if you manually enabled os-prober, they would disable that again at the next update of the grub package.
Unfortunately MX Devs' solution is to make the exact opposite: even if a user manually disabled os_prober with that line, it would be ignored. That was done, presumably, because many newcomers use MX and they would keep asking after every update of grub, "where is my Windows menu entry?" or "where are my other distros?"
So for the sake of a general solution that suits the majority of use cases, I'm doing what the devs advised and have made a note in my MX install notes going forward to simply make the op-prober script unexecutable.
The thing is that in Arch-based distros, os_prober is not enabled by default (has been like this for ages) but the expectation is that users have to be more proactive and knowledgeable and sort out their own boot setups.
[ADDED] It may not be that helpful to move that os_prober script to Documents. When an update to grub package is installed, that script could be re-added back to /etc/grub.d/
It happens all the time to me in my Manjaro install (which controls my grub), because I rename the 41_custom script to 09 in order that my custom entries appear before those in grub.cfg. However after every update of grub package, 41_custom is restored and I get a super-long grub menu with custom entries, then grub.cfg entries, then custom entries again (until I delete 41_custom yet again).

As a Windows user, I can honestly say that the os-prober hasn't been useful, so I agree. You can add custom menus by adding them to /etc/grub.d/40_custom which is what I do and I like that predictability.
I hope this decision is reconsidered. If a "newbie" is sextuple booting multiple distros, I dare say they already know what they're doing. Even someone like me who jumped straight from Windows, enough googling got me where I needed, and it was even easier than dealing with the silly bcdedit nonsense in Windows.

On the --oem switch is that a circumstance where

"Automatically Reboot ..." is deselected by default?
or without checkbox.(?)

My practice with other Distros is to modify or add a line in /etc/default/grub to show

Why is this so important? Because os-prober takes, as per my document
I have a rather cumbersome workaround for this at the moment
Workaround for now to disable os-prober
This then, reduces updating grub by time 2 hours.
I also wonder why the change from previous versions, on this subject.
Thanks
Debian did some changes to always have disabled os prober during GRUB upgrade by default.
The way to disable / enabled OS prober have been changed in MX-23.
Instead of adjusting GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER with /etc/default/grub,
one would set flag within the debconf-database.
One way todo this:
and select/de-select the correspoding os-prober related option.
+++EDIT+++
Or just set the os-prober related flag within debconf db directly:
E.g here with disabled os-prober:
Code: Select all
echo "grub-pc grub2/enable_os_prober boolean false" | sudo debconf-set-selections
or here with enabled os-pober
Code: Select all
echo "grub-pc grub2/enable_os_prober boolean true" | sudo debconf-set-selections

creating a /boot/grub/custom.cfg file and depending on 41_custom script is better than editing 40_custom script , in my opinion. No need to run sudo update-grub after any change to custom.cfg ! Unlike when you edit 40_custom.

No ordinary user will know that unless it's documented somewhere, and so far in MX23 alpha/betas, this has not been made clear.
or maybe MX Boot Options can have an added function to help us do it? It seems appropriate to have a tool to reenable the default grub behaviour, since we (MX) are forcing os_prober to be run against the latest standard behaviour of grub.

Debian disabled os-prober, mentioned with Dbeian 12 news. For people relying
on other os-menu entry in grub menu, would face the sitiation to beeing locked out. Hnce the reverted adjstments made. Doesn't stop to add this information or to MX Tools to how handle os-prober in MX23.

@fehlix I mean that the solution to/instructions on how to actually disable os_prober in MX23 has to be properly documented, since we are removing the default Debian12 behaviour. Some users (obviously not just me) actually want the new default behaviour.

The systemd failure to load that i had [23.6.05]
is consistent with installations done with the --oem switch.
sysV can also not work with oem install. [23.6.06]
installations without the oem switch work just fine.

Hi:
I have installed MX23 Fluxbox_beta2_386, and in the 1st update I see some "Broken pipe" (Tubería rota) errors in the module update "rtl8812**-dkms", which I attach with the .log of the "apt/term.log.
As I had problems on my PC with kernel 6.0 and now on 6.1, (
viewtopic.php?p=730972#p730972) I'm not sure if it's a beta2 issue or something related to those modules in particular...

Hi:
I have installed MX23 Fluxbox_beta2_386, and in the 1st update I see some "Broken pipe" (Tubería rota) errors in the module update "rtl8812**-dkms", which I attach with the .log of the "apt/term.log.
As I had problems on my PC with kernel 6.0 and now on 6.1, (
viewtopic.php?p=730972#p730972) I'm not sure if it's a beta2 issue or something related to those modules in particular...

its an issue in the dkms script, and I'm not sure why its a problem for some dkms packages and not others, but its a failure on a sanity check checking for the existene of something before proceeding. in almost all cases, that something exists, sot he check doesn't even really do anything.

If your hardware likes the ahs releases will it be OK to run these betas? I just realized that when updating kernels from an ahs one, that works, one should stick with ahs. Not sure how MX-23 relates to the liquorix kernels, if at all.
I have 2013 hardware, and it likes the AHS kernel a lot! :) feels more responsive maybe it's me...
My problem is the nVidia support... It will be a pain to get it working, but I won't stop!

I cannot duplicate. I suggest checking for unfinished updates.
It looks like an ACPI problem, right?
Maybe look more into updating those drivers and firmwares?

Hi:
I have installed MX23 Fluxbox_beta2_386, and in the 1st update I see some "Broken pipe" (Tubería rota) errors in the module update "rtl8812**-dkms", which I attach with the .log of the "apt/term.log.
As I had problems on my PC with kernel 6.0 and now on 6.1, (
viewtopic.php?p=730972#p730972) I'm not sure if it's a beta2 issue or something related to those modules in particular...
Best regards
its an issue in the dkms script, and I'm not sure why its a problem for some dkms packages and not others, but its a failure on a sanity check checking for the existene of something before proceeding. in almost all cases, that something exists, sot he check doesn't even really do anything.
Hi

I had this same problem with this rtl8812u driver and it's gone now!
And also managed to solve a problem with i915 too!
Take a look here:
viewtopic.php?p=730427#p730427
Make sure you clone that github code and build it.
Then you remove the driver from the kernels you are using, and install it again using the name showed on that cli command.
If my explanation is wrong or incomplete, make sure you message me and I'll try to help you better. It's easy but I also made some mistakes along the way!
I tried a lot of stuff and I'm using a lot of kernels so... please msg me.

Thanks to one and all for the input. I have been using antiX and MX since they were in their 14's going to 15.
So I will digest all of the above, in particular the information from @fehlix , check with my Debian Bookworm I also have, and see where I go from there.
Cheers
Wizard

Dear Developers,
mx-packageinstaller-pkglist (in /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist ) does not reflect mx-packageinstaller-description which has been translated at Transifex.
As a result, descriptions are still indicated in default English. See the attached image for reference.
Best regards,
Green
i do not have the tools to import the strings form transifex into the package descriptions. all that was set up by other people. if someone wants to do it and make a pull request to our git hub for mx-packageinstaller-pkglist, I will surely incorporate them.
adrian came to my rescue. any descriptions that have 100% translation complete should now be uploaded in the latest mx-packageinstaller-pkglist update. that was 26 languages. Not all descriptions were online, but 365 were.

Dear Developers,
mx-packageinstaller-pkglist (in /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist ) does not reflect mx-packageinstaller-description which has been translated at Transifex.
As a result, descriptions are still indicated in default English. See the attached image for reference.
Best regards,
Green
i do not have the tools to import the strings form transifex into the package descriptions. all that was set up by other people. if someone wants to do it and make a pull request to our git hub for mx-packageinstaller-pkglist, I will surely incorporate them.
adrian came to my rescue. any descriptions that have 100% translation complete should now be uploaded in the latest mx-packageinstaller-pkglist update. that was 26 languages. Not all descriptions were online, but 365 were.
Hmme not sure, e.g Japanese is 100% translated,
trnasifex-pkg-desc_ja.jpg
but still shows description in English:
mxpi-pkd-des_ja.jpg

@dolphin_oracle It is fast but I was able to see both lines create the X portion of the logo. I saw it during beta 1 and initially beta 2.
I'll boot to Sys-V to see if there is any difference. (possible I have a service taking it's time to load)

the revised theme is faster than the original. not saying that its so fast you aren't seeing it, but it is much quicker.

Hi:
This solution has helped me to uninstall the 8812au module that in my PC with MX21.3 was giving me kernel panic in Kernels 6.1 and 5.19, I have uninstalled it and both are booting... as it is a PC without wiffi, it seems that it does not need it... although I do not know the reason why in the kernel 6.0 of the same machine it does not give error...

Hi Senpai, really glad it was useful...
Though that driver is also used for Bluetooth connectivity and I can't tell if anything else.
But go on like that and check if everything is working as the beta is being trialed.

you could try updating the initramfs again. it should have been done automatically.

I believe I've discovered a bug in the live-USB storage creation process. I created a persistent, fully-featured, encrypted drive using the "Clone Live Running System" option in the USB Creator while running off a non-persistent beta USB stick. However, the resulting USB stick did not have the live-usb-storage folder or the file system for the rest of the stick.
As an experiment, I created a 21.3 stick and performed the same process. This time, I made the resulting USB stick from an image I downloaded (beta), and the resulting USB image did have the live-usb-storage folder.

I just ran
yesterday for my laptop MX23b2.
I don't know if I had to make something by the end of it... But booting, it completely ruined all my Kernels.
None would boot up! It broke the wlan first and next usb3... and stalled there probing a lot of Genius inputs until I Ctrl-Alt-Del and re-installed my Snapshot.
Yes it really works now like a charm, doesn't stall at 11% and Ventoy already fixed the code!
By now I use Time-Shift too and will report next time I ruin my system
I ended up after the snapshot, installing the driver and modules (Tesla 470) by hand on Synaptic... It works when rebooted right away.
After I did DKMS and UPDATE-INITRAMFS to specific kernels, and it works! None broken.
I even got the NVIDIA X Server settings module working at last!!!! It displays all info! I'm quite amazed!
I'll try in the future to run specific 3D rendered stuff to check it out.
Not sure yet how to work the changing of GPU but I'll get it (bumblebee is broken, or deprecated? We'll see)
Primus Optimus and Vulkan drivers are still buzzwords to check too. It's too much for now!

running that "command" as written wouldn't do anything. please update to indicate what you actually ran, or provide the /var/log/ddm.log file.

I Was very distracted sorry, you're very right... it was actually:
Code: Select all
sudo ddm-mx -i nvidia -f nvidia-tesla-470-driver
I don't know what this installer runs after but it broke everything.
Am I supposed to run dkms or initramfs as I did later after ddm-mx? Or is it self sufficient ?
I can assure the synaptic installation was a success though. I even tried checking a lot of the 470 modules just to try it all.
As I reversed it installing the snapshot I don't have a valid DDM.LOG file anymore, but I can sacrifice my system and redo it if you want. ( I have snapshot and timeshift, and am willing to give it a go as a good beta :) )
It takes me just a bit my system is quite fast!

First, I think looking at my own logs (snippets) that I messed up using
option! It's meant for devs only...
It was a typo, I then corrected it to use
options!!!
(maybe it did something wrong and messed the DD-MX installer?) I'll try to replicate the next time I have a chance to backup all.
DDM-MX v.23.06.01
The Tesla v.470 drivers and kernel related files I LOCKED on synaptic so they won't upgrade to v.520 for now... until I test it and know they are fully supported.

Hope this is posted in the correct place.
In 23B2 when one clicks on the clock a separate window opens which must be manually closed. In 21.x the same click opened a pop-out that closed with another click. Can and how do I get 23b2 to act like 21.x
PS I've tried all the settings I could find before asking.
Thanks for your time.

Ok good.
so the updated tool should have installed that driver anyway, without the -f option. likely your problem was with the tool prior to the update.

@dolphin_oracle
Oh no, quite the opposite.
I first may have messed up with the DDM-MX installer I don't know. But I couldn't boot any kernel at al!!! They all panicked and stalled...
So I did revert it to the snapshot I made earlier. And after that I installed drivers (470 TESLA)via the Synaptic GUI tool. And locked the v.470 Tesla version.
It worked... And after I did mess with dkms and initramfs just to be sure all modules were up to date and installed.
It all checked out!
I never tried the ddm-mx again! As I reverted it to the point I was before using it the first time... so no merit for that
But I will in the future so you know if it's reliable or I made a mess... I bet the later
Thanks man!

As an experiment, I created a 21.3 stick and performed the same process. This time, I made the resulting USB stick from an image I downloaded (beta), and the resulting USB image did have the live-usb-storage folder.
Not sure I undertand. Live-USB-Maker in full-feature mode creates a LiveUSB, which can be used with enabled persistence or with not enabled persistence.
Persistence would be enabled with one of the persistence related boot-parameter - not during creation of the LiveUSB.
The Live-USB-Storage folder found within the home of the live user is actually a bind-mount
pointing onto the ext4-boot-device to a directory with the same name "/Live-USB-Storage/[live-user].
The Live-usb-storage was introduced to offer the user a convenient way to have write access
onto the boot-device on the LiveUSb ext4 partition.
On encrypted this ext4-partition is located within the luks-encrytped partition". And the Live-usb-storage bind-mount
within the users-home folder points onto the ext4-partition within the luks-encrypted partition. Not onto any not-encrypted part of the LiveUSB.
AFAIK, LiveUSB maker would not clone the content of Live-usb-storage b/c Live-usb-storage is not part of the Live-system, and would be created with the new LiveUSB when needed/enabled.
E.g booting with toram you may not have a live-usb-storage bind-mount access onto the ext4-boot-device.

the revised theme is faster than the original. not saying that its so fast you aren't seeing it, but it is much quicker.
@dolphin_oracle I just see a static image (probably loaded by the time the image appears on my screen) when booting to either Sys V or SystemD. Shame because I really liked that animation at boot.
you could try updating the initramfs again. it should have been done automatically.
@dolphin_oracle Still no go. I even tried changing my grub theme from mx_linux to mx_logo_ribbon but it didn't help. I'll make a post in the MX Boot Animation thread.

Revisiting the burning issue with k3b and Xfburn:
On Mint XFCE 21.2 Beta, everything works fine. k3b works great, no errors, Xfburn burns .mp3s without the above-mentioned distortion and easyMP3gain can easily be installed via Snap instead of manually downloading the front-end here (as stated in another thread). Also, on the other PC which runs MX23 Beta, for some reason, easyMP3gain does not work, but on the PC I'm using right now it does...
I'm pretty sure things with k3b are gonna be OK on MX23 KDE Beta 2, but for the sake of the argument, I'll download it and check it out so the developers now where to focus.
Overall, each one uses their PC for their own personal reasons, with a set of specific tasks in mind they want to perform.
There are some who still burn CDs (for some crazy reason) and it seems I cannot do that right now on MX23 Beta. Thus, I'll have to uninstall MX23 Beta from the other PC
and install an Ubuntu derivative that does the job (probably Mint XFCE). However, I wouldn't like to uninstall MX23 from this PC, so I would appreciate it if a solution could be found concerning the issue with k3b. Alternatively, I'll have to go for another distro that can do that hassle free.
xfburn does indeed seem to have an issue burning audio cds from mp3 files. I get high-pitched distoration with mine.
k3b was OK, after I did this from the commandline (without k3b running) to set permissions on a couple of helper programs that k3b needs.
Code: Select all
sudo chmod 4711 /usr/bin/wodim; sudo chmod 4711 /usr/bin/cdrdao
there is an interface in k3b for changing the permissions, but it sets 4710 instead of 4711 and the apps did not actually start configured such.

for two, open the encrypted home partition BEFORE starting the installer. it will then show up in the custom layout. it will be preserved. also, you'll need to right-click the real partition and select "Add to Crypttab" or else it won't be opened up at boot.

we switched to the main inxi package rather than the smxi-inxi-antix package. so if you moved via upgrade from mx21, you probably need to update inxi.

@i_ri OK, now I understand what you're asking. Here are some examples below.
If you don't have any spaces between the comma and the next workspace name, then the Send To option has all the work spaces in one row.
work1.png
Here I have one space between the first comma and work space #2 and two spaces between the second comma and work space #3. This gives it a cascading effect.
(If I add another work space I would place the third comma right after #3 and give it three spaces before adding the word four to keep the cascading effect going)
work2.png
Here I'm playing around. I have one space after the first comma, fifteen spaces after the second comma.

siamhie You know the small details of fluxbox; thank You for chatting with me about workspaceNames:
just like the ending comma determines the end of the last name, spaces can be forced onto the beginning of the first name by beginning the string of workspace names with a comma before the first name.
i tried to simplify by telling do not use spaces after a comma.
W-1,W-2,
, W-1, W-2,
my windowmenu send-to and workspacemenu are center justified, so it does not make evident the spaces, i see space out-of-place when the names are the same length. Your left-justify plainly shows the space after the comma.; the fluxbox toolbar workspaces tool does show name-spaces in the toolbar. spaces are inherited from the longest-name entry.

That's because the user (in use) making the change is still required to provide a password. After the change is implemented, no password will be required.

In this (last) message of that conversation is a summary.

Screenshot_20230629_090051.png
Edit: My reasoning why asking to repair this bug:
For me encryption is crucial, and as I want to stay with MX Linux, I am forced to use EXT4.
But as BTRFS matures and offers nice functionality like instant snapshots, it is a welcome replacement to RSYNC.
I would like to use this nice feature, at least on my stronger machine with SSD with TBW large enough.
(in the past I have used BTRFS on LinuxMint, without encryption. After some years I have watched more closely whats going on on I/O side, and was shocked by continuous write traffic. So I stopped using BTRFS to save my SSDs. Years have passed. Then later I switched to MX-Linux, and now, after another four years, the TBW on large disks is big enough to withstand BTRFS write amplification).

Thanks, yes indeed this gives us a clue.
The reason is kind of simple: MX Linux uses the /@ subvolume for root as required by timeshift (which was originally developed for Ubuntu's /@-root layout). But MX Linux is also using /@-as default mount-subvol, which Ubuntu is not using and timeshift simply assumes to always mount by default at top-subvol. We had a similare fix for non-encrypted and may need to find the place to apply this fix also for encrypted-btrfs.
You can test-breaking timeshift on Ubuntu by simply settings the default-mount subvol to /@
and Ubuntu and friends would still work, but timeshift may stop to work on btrfs.

@fehlix ,
is this issue related?
https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift/issues/131
edit: there is reference to issue #90, which seems exactly spot on.

Good found. Maybe someone send a MX-patch to Linux Mint.
The reason we haven't done so, is also simple: The original version we applied the default-subvol patch
was an older version. Meanwhile Linux Mint took over the maintenance and we currently using
Debian's provided version based on Linux Mint - so we may send the patch if it works to Linux Mint.

but it still asks me for the password
try this
sudo visudo
root ALL=(ALL:ALL)
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
thanks for replying, but it still does not work as expected. My "workaround" is deleting my password

This may be pretty esoteric, and I don't know if this is the case on the last version of MX since I'm running currently on the beta, but I enabled zram and noticed on shutdown with the live USB with persistence that an error trying to unload the zram kernel module (too early)? I have zram enabled for swap.

gparted launches from the menu with pkexec. you could likely launch with "sudo gparted" from the cli with what you've indicated.
either way, not likely to actually be a beta issue.

I don't know if anyone has reported VLC losing hardware accelerated decoding and encoding in Bookworm, but that seems to be unavoidable with the Debian packages.
5.2.3. Limited hardware-accelerated video encoding/decoding support in VLC
The VLC video player supports hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding via VA-API and VDPAU. However, VLC's support for VA-API is tightly related to the version of FFmpeg. Because FFmpeg was upgraded to the 5.x branch, VLC's VA-API support has been disabled. Users of GPUs with native VA-API support (e.g., Intel and AMD GPUs) may experience high CPU usage during video playback and encoding.
Users of GPUs offering native VDPAU support (e.g., NVIDIA with non-free drivers) are not affected by this issue.
Support for VA-API and VDPAU can be checked with vainfo and vdpauinfo (each provided in a Debian package of the same name).

I reported in about Kodi a bit ago, which I found also (when googling) seemed to affect VLC. Post 54. Did include a solution that I was unable to test.

Maybe that downgrade they mention will sort it?

(This case is at my "Intel" machine.)
I usually using SMplayer (not VLC), VA-API is not working in MX-23 beta2,
Instead of
"gpu-next" worked very well. I think it will be a replacement.

Regarding my Previous on How to Disable os-prober:
I have done further work on this, and thank you, the advice on
works fine.
That being acknowledged, this statement from
@fehlix
Debian did some changes to always have disabled os prober during GRUB upgrade by default.
is at odds with the reality, in my experience.
I have Debian Bookworm, Cinnamon, and a part of its /etc/default/grub reads as follows
Code: Select all
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# If your computer has multiple operating systems installed, then you
# probably want to run os-prober. However, if your computer is a host
# for guest OSes installed via LVM or raw disk devices, running
# os-prober can cause damage to those guest OSes as it mounts
# filesystems to look for things.
# OS_PROBER re-enabled by Debian Calamares installation:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
... and os-prober works fine with that, so Calamares appears to have detected I am a multi-booter and adjusted for that.
No offence to mx-installer (which I have used for years), but once again - mx-tools? A mention in the final release notes? and so on would help.
Cheers

mx23_fluxbox is headed to distro of the decade.
Hello Melber
fluxbox Style MX-comfort
A Wonderful Style.
personalizing;
Made three rows of color at the top of maximize-pressed.xpm to
match the three rows of color in maximize-active.xpm.
Likewise all "pressed" buttons changed to color top three rows if active color.
Our X flashes red on the close-pressed.xpm.
Dot red for stick-toggled-active.xpm.

It's about grub-package upgrade, where grub-install may be triggered, and potentically a debconf popup window is shown to the user , which by the way can happen als in UEFI install. Debian has disabled to run os-probe by default,
and people may face the situation to not find any menu entry for other installs within the generated grub menu. Even in UEFI-install the grub-pc upgrade may be triggerd if user, eg. installed also onto mbr. To avoid this potential show stopper, the place (to define to/set disable/enable os-prober) was moved into debconf.

Hello
@fehlix,
can I rest assured, that the LUKS+BTRFS+Timeshift trio will operate in next beta or RC? Is it planned to fix?
Rougly at what time can we expect next install media iteration?
If the fix will not come in the next iteration, is there any possibility to properly prepare LUKS+BTRFS manually from live session just before install, to achieve proper operation of the trio?
And if yes - will the next iteration's "defaults" be compatible with RC, therefore can I install it and consider it after upgrade the same "quality" as RC or final?
I am eager to try and play with the new bookworm, (to replace bullseye on my not-so-important portable machine), but I do not want to do all the hassle of customizing again after final comes out.
Thank you for your answers and for effort of all the team for making this version real.

No. B/c it has first to be fixed. And don't think next release will debend on this issue been fixed or not.

That's by design, since it's deprecated now that MXFB has been integrated with MX. whose Welcome contains all relevant info.

Bugs and Issues:
1B. In the KDE Wallpaper picker, image descriptions can flow out of bounds.
2B. In the MX Package Installer, "Installed" and "Upgrade available" package legends are clickable buttons that don't seem to do anything.
3B. As examples, in LibreOffice 7.4.5 and Kate 22.12.3, tooltips will glitch and partially cut off sometimes when moving from one item to another. This doesn't seem to happen at all with tooltips that are "out-of-app" though. Unchecking "Morphing Popups" in Desktop Effects fixes the issue.
4B. LazPaint 7.2.2 crashes on changing canvas size. Known old bug. Recommend removing app.
5B. In the MX Linux Installer, for the "Customize the disk layout" option, Layout Builder does not create any swap partition even though it was requested. When Layout Builder is applied, does not allow partition changes until "New layout" is selected.
6B. When program loading/processing occurs, mouse cursor sometimes starts to heavily lag.
Recommendations:
1R. Highly recommend including the Synthesizer plugin in GIMP by default.
2R. In the MX Linux Installer, for the "Customize the disk layout" option, it is recommended to have the setting for all "Use for" dialog boxes to start out blank to ensure no unintentional writes to other drives.
3D Graphical Testing Done (Nvidia Drivers Used for All Games):
1G. SuperTuxKart (Debian Native)
2G. Unreal Tournament (1999) (Steam and Steam Proton)
3G. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 (Steam and Steam Proton)
4G. Red Faction: Guerilla (Wrecking Crew Stress Test) (Steam and Steam Proton)
Beyond Dark Forces 2 being its usual annoying self to get running, all ran without issues or frame dips.

disble touchpad while typing is the default driver behavior with the new libinput touchpad drivers. we are no longer shipping with synaptic touchpad driver, although its still available in the repo.
good catch on the plymouth theme package error. will adjust.

hello rej
touchpad settings held now in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad-libinput.conf
there is a setting for disable when typing;
As dolphin_oracle stated, the default setting for disable while typing is true, yes, on,
so the only need for it to be included/ present in the driver configuration is to set disable while typing to false, no, off.
sample, Option "DisableWhileTyping" "bool"
Code: Select all
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "libinput"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "Tapping" "on"
Option "TappingButtonMap" "lmr"
Option "AccelSpeed" "0.075"
Option "SendEventsMode" "disabled-on-external-mouse"
Option "DisableWhileTyping" "false"
EndSection

Something a little funky going on with the default conky. On startup, Live and installed on 2 machines with Intel Graphics, the minutes are missing altogether but the rest of it is there. Images are from the Celeron based NUC, but identical issue on both machines. The issue prevails whether I boot the machines with Modesetting or Intel Drivers using MX Tweak between boots. I can get the minutes to display on the Laptop by opening MX Conky Manager and selecting another conky to display simultaneously, then uncheck it so only Cowon-midblue remains, but on the NUC, it's a more hit and miss.
Can anybody else replicate this?

Something a little funky going on with the default conky. On startup, Live and installed on 2 machines with Intel Graphics, the minutes are missing altogether but the rest of it is there. Images are from the Celeron based NUC, but identical issue on both machines. The issue prevails whether I boot the machines with Modesetting or Intel Drivers using MX Tweak between boots. I can get the minutes to display on the Laptop by opening MX Conky Manager and selecting another conky to display simultaneously, then uncheck it so only Cowon-midblue remains, but on the NUC, it's a more hit and miss.
Can anybody else replicate this?
Any error on the cli, when re-invoking this way ( e.g after login) within the terminal.
Code: Select all
killall conky; cd ~/.conky/MX-CowonMildBlue; conky -c MX-Cowon_MildBlue

I' seeing the same as m_pav. on first boot of live of new test builds. toggling conky on and off doens't solve the problem, but toggling off and on in conky-manager does. font issue maybe?
will get some more data and post it.
note: the midblue variant is the proposed new default. the beta2 isos still uses the tangram variant, not midblue. the tangram variant appears to launch correctly.

I've been using MildBlue for the last two weeks on mxfb-23 beta2 and have not seen this issue.
The conky code was copied from tangram, the only changes that I knowingly made were the colours and a few small offset adjustments.

I have been doing the same, with same results.
I may have installed it directly from a post, so maybe something got changed when it went into GitHub...it's been known to happen.

Unfortunately, I can't test Conky for this problem as literally all three of my computers are running full Nvidia hardware. lol

It’s fine launching from the conky manager but not on fresh iso startup

Launches fine for me at boot. The only change I see in the text section is at line 118. (tangram on the left--mildblue on the right)

When saving a screenshot of the desktop, the "Save Screenshot As..." window extends off the bottom of the screen so you can not see the "Cancel" or "Save" buttons. I have to grab the top edge of the window and drag it down, then grab the title bar and drag the window up until the buttons are visible. Seems to happen the first time you go to save a screenshot, subsequent "Save Screenshot As.." windows display as adjusted the first time.

Hi-
MX-23 Beta Live USB Persistence made from installed, configured snapshot:
"Wi-fi network connection" in Systray Icons - piling up.
Because I never saw this before (and don't usually use Live with Persistence), I don't know if this is a new normal or a glitch.
Please ignore this post if this is supposed to be happening.
Thank you.

is there any possibility to properly prepare LUKS+BTRFS manually from live session just before install, to achieve proper operation of the trio?
...
As I did't recieve any answer, even "I don't know (yet)", etc..
So I decided to investigate for myself. Sacrificed five hours until now. (I am not so effective as those, who know better where to search)
Here is, what I have found:
in Linux Mint the result is
Code: Select all
mint@mint-VirtualBox:~$ sudo btrfs subvolume get-default /
ID 5 (FS_TREE)
in MX Linux
Code: Select all
mx@mx:~
$ sudo btrfs subvolume get-default /
ID 256 gen 82 top level 5 path @
after changing default subvolume, the result is the same.
Code: Select all
$ sudo btrfs subvolume set-default 5 /
mx@mx:~
$ sudo btrfs subvolume get-default /
ID 5 (FS_TREE)
in Linux Mint, after creating some manual and automatic snapshots
Code: Select all
mint@mint-VirtualBox:~$ sudo btrfs subvolume list /
[sudo] password for mint:
ID 256 gen 129 top level 5 path @
ID 257 gen 130 top level 5 path @home
ID 258 gen 129 top level 5 path timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-07-01_19-37-37/@
ID 259 gen 75 top level 5 path timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-07-01_19-53-27/@
ID 260 gen 127 top level 5 path timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-07-01_22-00-02/@
After reading this:
https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift/issues/90
I checked kernel parameter
rootflags=subvol=@
It is set accordingly.
Timeshift still does not allow to use BTRFS in settings.
BUT: somehow (I almost never boot with SystemD) I got an idea to boot with SystemD,
and: Timeshift allowed to use BTRFS. Creating snapshot last unusually long time (about 30 secs), but the snapshot did not appear in the list in the GUI windows of Timeshift.
by checking I get
Code: Select all
mx@mx:~
$ sudo btrfs subvolume list /
[sudo] password for mx:
ID 256 gen 72 top level 5 path @
ID 257 gen 72 top level 5 path @home
ID 258 gen 58 top level 256 path srv
I have tried to delete subvolume
Code: Select all
sudo btrfs subvolume delete -i 258 /
after few seconds by checking I get again
mx@mx:~
$ sudo btrfs subvolume list /
[sudo] password for mx:
ID 256 gen 72 top level 5 path @
ID 257 gen 72 top level 5 path @home
ID 258 gen 58 top level 256 path srv
but as I read, the operation is finishing in the background, so I let a minute pass, then do reboot, which was waiting about one more minute to finish.
After next boot (with SystemD of course), the SRV subvolume was still there, but issued and checked again:
Code: Select all
mx@mx:~
$ sudo btrfs subvolume delete -i 258 --commit-each /
Delete subvolume (commit): '//@/srv'
mx@mx:~
$ sudo btrfs subvolume list /
ID 256 gen 92 top level 5 path @
ID 257 gen 91 top level 5 path @home
Checking Timeshift settings again, were fine, created snapshot, progress window closed with the message snapshot was created.
Again no line in the table.
Code: Select all
mx@mx:~
$ sudo btrfs subvolume list /
ID 256 gen 103 top level 5 path @
ID 257 gen 100 top level 5 path @home
Very weird.
Clicking on Browse, Dolphin run as root shows four subdirectories of these four attempts,
but each one is empty.

As I have again traded few hours of my sleep, I am giving up.
I hope my discoveries will save the time for the developers.
Attaching logs, too.
Interesting info here (maybe not related to timeshift, but related to BTRFS and switching subvolumes for root):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=210582
Maybe a time to check different solution.
https://github.com/digint/btrbk
or
https://gitlab.com/btrfs-assistant/btrfs-assistant
Does somebody have experiences with BTRFS Assistant?
Does it work without SystemD?
Enough of Timeshift (without "F" ???

)

@andy we have not given up on timeshift, but the particular problem is not likely to be fixed before release of mx23. timeshift is very finicky about how its set up, and our btrfs setup does not match linux mint's.
one other thing, a btrfs snapshot will apparently fail if a swapfile is present in the subvolume.

is there any possibility to properly prepare LUKS+BTRFS manually from live session just before install, to achieve proper operation of the trio?

As I did't recieve any answer, even "I don't know (yet)", etc..
Maybe you missed the answer given
viewtopic.php?p=731447#p731447
And yes, we know what this issue is, the fix we have for non-luks+btrfs unfortunately won't work with btrfs+luks.
I'v applied already the MX-patch to latest Linux Mint provided version, which does fix the subvol issue,
but for some reason not with the combo luks+btrfs.
So suggest, stay patient until further findings to fix have been made.

What happens if you click on the bottom button "Clear Known Items"?
Hi Jerry-
It removes all the W-fi entries and un-checks what was previously checked as "Hidden".
Then it immediately starts accumulating again.
That was just a couple of days worth in the image I had attached.

I don't know if anyone has reported VLC losing hardware accelerated decoding and encoding in Bookworm, but that seems to be unavoidable with the Debian packages.
5.2.3. Limited hardware-accelerated video encoding/decoding support in VLC
The VLC video player supports hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding via VA-API and VDPAU. However, VLC's support for VA-API is tightly related to the version of FFmpeg. Because FFmpeg was upgraded to the 5.x branch, VLC's VA-API support has been disabled. Users of GPUs with native VA-API support (e.g., Intel and AMD GPUs) may experience high CPU usage during video playback and encoding.
Users of GPUs offering native VDPAU support (e.g., NVIDIA with non-free drivers) are not affected by this issue.
Support for VA-API and VDPAU can be checked with vainfo and vdpauinfo (each provided in a Debian package of the same name).
@Stevo haven't seen you post here since? Has anyone tested that downgrade I quoted here to see if that fixes things?

i'm trying mx23 beta
I noticed that the thumbnails of the image file icons (jpg, png etc) do not appear.
on debian stable the problem is not there
on mx23 beta I saw that the libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev and libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin packages are missing
moreover, thumbnails do not appear on device folders such as smartphones

installing the 2 packages solved the problem on the pc folders.

The issue is about controlling the scroll LED behavior for alternative keyboard layouts. The LED lights up when the user switches keyboard layout, and that shouldn't be the default behavior. Or at least, it should be configurable like it says in the documentation. However, the behavior does not respond to configuration.
This concerns the Xfce desktop, and the underlying problem seems to be with gxkb which is the keyboard switcher. Gxkb also seems to be responsible for the whole "System Keyboard" section in Xfce settings.
The github page for gxkb is here:
https://github.com/zen-tools/gxkb
It says that gxkb is configurable by means of
However, changes made to that config file do not stick. They revert to their default values.

The issue is about controlling the scroll LED behavior for alternative keyboard layouts. The LED lights up when the user switches keyboard layout, and that shouldn't be the default behavior. Or at least, it should be configurable.
This concerns the Xfce desktop, and the underlying problem seems to be with gxkb which is the keyboard switcher. Gxkb also seems to be responsible for the whole "System Keyboard" section in Xfce settings.
You can disable gxkb switcher and enable Xfce buildin keyboard-layout plugin.
Let us know whether it fxes the issues you mentioned.

The github page for gxkb is here:
https://github.com/zen-tools/gxkb
It says that gxkb is configurable by means of
However, changes made to that config file do not stick. They revert to their default values.
That's by design, in order to let Xfce-keyboard selection work and to allow user to select keyboard at login.

@fehlix I disabled gxkb switcher, and enabled the Xfce built-in switcher, but strangely it doesn't solve the issue. The LED still lights up when I switch to my alternative keyboard layout.

@shmu26: I got it working. The reason the change did not take effect was because a reboot is needed and I had only been testing on a Live MX-23 beta2. See my Post #10
viewtopic.php?p=731701#p731701 in your original thread for a little more detail.

Posting from MX-23 beta 2 on my machine, cannot share videos using share option in thunar or using MX samba config, had no problem in older versions of MX, could share video from computer to vlc on phone and Kodi on home network.
This is covered in the MX23 user manual, Firewall section number 4 dot 5 dot 1.
User manual is linked from your start menu and an icon on the desktop.

Bugs and Issues:
7B. Wayland is immediately crashing back to the login screen whenever one tries to start a Wayland session. SysVInit, systemd, doesn't matter. Only X11 works.
8B. Foliate online catalogs are pretty much non-functional. The Standard Ebooks catalog, for example, causes an application hang when selecting All Ebooks.

Hello all! Forgive me for participating so little in the life of the forum. I wanted to ask if the current test version, is suitable for daily use? I don't play, but only browse web content, telegram and discord, sometimes spreadsheets or other documents. To review the entire topic, I would have to spend a lot of time, and I still lack it

@i_ri What is your expectation here?
In wofi drun,run when type in search "calc" three results xcalc, GtkHash, Galculator.
In dmenu,run when type in search "calc" one result xcalc.
In rofi,drun when type in search "calc" one result GtkHash.
In xfce appfinder "calc" is seven results GtkHash, Galculator, calendar, settings.
In synapse search "calc" four results xcalc, /rofi/calc-help, two-search files for calc.
As far as the name App Finder is concerned, it's way too late to change. You will not find it b/c it's not a program of any kind, it's just a theme of rofi.

Hello Jerry3904
sharing.
Facilitated Changing the tint2 button to the rofi /bin/Launcher command
channels me through to the touchpad connection i want for tap clicking.
The .desktop will appear in your Accessories menu with whatever name you give to it and is supposed to launch any theme, still testing that.
A .desktop in custom-toolbox, docks, ,, give to this rofi Masterpiece a button.
The MX instance of rofi icon is mxlogo.

Ok, I think I've isolated the problem further. Wayland seems to work fine on nouveau (though it was a very quick test) but the proprietary Nvidia drivers make Wayland instantly crash on session start. I wonder if the Nvidia Driver Installer isn't set to properly configure the system for Wayland operation yet maybe?

Doing some super quick looking online, it looks like Wayland with Nvidia proprietary drivers may still just be flat out non-functional in general right now. I'm gonna download Debian 12 and install it and see if I get the same issue.

UPDATE: Yep, Debian 12 has the exact same behavior. Nvidia drivers are installed along with the appropriate Xorg config generated, then Wayland just refuses to open a session after that.
I did find this:
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Wayland
In Debian 12 (currently Debian Testing), almost all issues should be resolved and most Wayland sessions should "just work" with the 495-series driver, however some major issues remain with KDE Plasma. These will require merging KDE's Qt 5 patch collection to fix:

Dear Developers,
I can confirm Debian 12 with Gnome and a Nvidia graphics card.
Wayland is not compatible with the proprietary Nvidia driver.
I have 2 USB keys with 2 installations.
a) A Debian 12 Gnome USB key with the « nouveau » driver and Wayland.
b) A Debian 12 Gnome USB key with the proprietary Nvidia driver - X display server, so without Wayland.
In Debian 12, you need to start the session with the X display server and install the proprietary Nvidia driver.
When you restart, Wayland is automatically deleted.
Please note;
1) I don't know if KDE Plasma is still able to work with the X display server. I haven't tested it under Debian 12.
2) Gnome does not work in the same way with the « nouveau » driver as with the proprietary Nvidia driver. For example: when you click on the Gnome dock icon, you no longer have focus on the window that opens with the proprietary Nvidia driver. So there could also be differences for KDE Plasma with the 2 drivers.
My Nvidia GTX960 graphics card is able to decode YouTube VP9.
With the « nouveau » driver, I get a lot of « dropped frames » in YouTube's « Nerd Stats », especially if I move the mouse to my second screen.
The proprietary Nvidia driver makes much better use of my graphics card and I get almost no dropped frames with 60 fps (full HD 1080p).
It's not easy to choose between the 2 drivers. Each has its advantages.
Best regards,
Wallon

Dear Developers,
Localization
Debian 11 and Debian 12 automatically configure the "papersize" file.
In my case, Debian 12 puts "a4" in the file.
MX Linux never localizes this file.
Why doesn't MX Linux do the same as Debian?
This is an important variable for configuring certain software.
Best regards,
Wallon

Dear Developers,
When installing Debian 12, LibreOffice and Firefox are directly localized in the installation language.
Why doesn't MX Linux set the installation language directly for the software?
It would be easier for new users.
Best regards,
Wallon

Dear Developers,
I know that you use MX Linux in English.
@marcelocripe and I would be happy to improve the localization of MX Linux.
I made a comparison of the localization packages installed on Debian 12, Antix 23 Full (fr_BE) and MX Linux 23 (fr_BE).
Some really important packages are missing from MX Linux.
MX Linux could copy these fundamental packages when installing in a language other than English.
Is this complicated to do?
I'm not a Linux specialist, so maybe other fundamental packages are missing.
Best regards,
Wallon

Dear Developers,
I can confirm Debian 12 with Gnome and a Nvidia graphics card.
Wayland is not compatible with the proprietary Nvidia driver.
If that is true, that is incredibly disappointing to hear, and I'm not sure why Nvidia or Debian would allow Wayland solutions to be released and then not be compatible in any way whatsoever with Nvidia hardware. Nouveau is fine for office work, web browsing, and media playing, but anything more intensive than that and you're gonna need the proprietary drivers, period, end of story.
I guess it's not that big a deal at all in the end, but damn it, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to finally having a stable Wayland experience on MX/Debian.

The « nouveau » driver has made huge progress and works very well with Wayland. I think it’s a good solution for older graphics cards that can no longer get the proprietary Nvidia driver. They are well integrated into the Gnome desktop environment. I was surprised to see that there was no more screen tearing, for example. But « nouveau » doesn’t yet use the full potential of Nvidia graphics cards. Nvidia is still keeping some of its language a secret.
I also think that Nvidia is not developing a proprietary driver compatible with Wayland. It’s not Debian’s fault.
In conclusion, it can’t be easy for MX Linux developers to combine all these KDE, Gnome, « nouveau », Wayland options...

Curious to see if MX-23 beta would be any problems for this computer, only had time to run a few live sessions of MX-23 b2 and have to congratulate the MX team what wonderful work, honestly tried to find anything that didn't work properly went back in a few time just could not find anything MX have that is broken or just not what it should be,
software tried and worked out well
Geeqie I like it good for comparing before and after Gimp adjustments
Gimp no problems impressive

The pavucontrol-qt package is not installed.
Therefore, pavucontrol-qt-l10n should not be installed.

I've tried to read through 47 pages but I might have missed this. I was a bit late as I needed my spare partition to test a script across a few common distros, so I only got to MX23-beta in the last two days.
Anyway, in conky, MX-GeekyTowerLogo doesn't fully work because ${downspeedgraph and ${upspeedgraph don't work. They just return an empty box. However, ${downspeedf and ${upspeedf do work. Does it need some sort of driver to be installed, or is it just not compatible with certain updates?

I had re-written the Geeky-Tower conky file, so I tried two other things - 1. I created a temporary new user and copied over from there, the bit that did the Ethernet speed, to no avail. Then I logged in as the new user, and changed conky to the Geeky-Tower, displaying a totally unamended version, as provided with MX Linux, and still no graphical confirmation of download and upload speeds. I don't know why Jerry's computer should behave differently to mine!
In the temporary new user area, I also tried switching off my wired internet and connecting via a wireless dongle, and it made no difference. Textual confirmation of the wireless speed but no graphic.

Sorry
@Jerry3904. Didn't realize you were responding to davemx.
@davemx geekytowerLogo works for me also. I made two small changes to see the results better. (changed the update interval from 5 seconds to 1 second and the color white (000000) to green (19db69))
conky.config section
Code: Select all
-- Update interval in seconds
update_interval = 1,
conky.text section (template6 = 'wlan0')
Code: Select all
${if_up ${template6}}${color2}
WIRELESS (${addr ${template6}}) [${wireless_link_qual_perc ${template6}}%] ${hr 2}${color}
Down: ${downspeedf ${template6}}kB/s ${alignr}Up: ${upspeedf ${template6}}kB/s

Not a problem. @davemx: the only question for this thread is whether the default conky that MX delivers with MX-23 works on your machine. Otherwise please start a separate thread of your own--and state right at the beginning that you have modified the original.

I had re-written the Geeky-Tower conky file, so I tried two other things - 1. I created a temporary new user and copied over from there, the bit that did the Ethernet speed, to no avail. Then I logged in as the new user, and changed conky to the Geeky-Tower, displaying a totally unamended version, as provided with MX Linux, and still no graphical confirmation of download and upload speeds. I don't know why Jerry's computer should behave differently to mine!
In the temporary new user area, I also tried switching off my wired internet and connecting via a wireless dongle, and it made no difference. Textual confirmation of the wireless speed but no graphic.
In order to see the up-/down speedgraphs you could set two colors.
in below screen capture I used '000000' (black) and 'ffffff' (white) --> which creates the graph fading from white to dark-grey, You can of course play with any other color combo that you like.

In KDE the title bar colors quit changing unless I logout or restart. This was working fine for the past week that I have been testing beta 2 and only started giving trouble today.

Hey, people: please stop posting here on this topic. It has nothing to do with this very long thread.

Problem installing Liquorix 64 bit Kernel from MX Package Installer Popular Applications Kernels section.
This stands out: "E: Internal Error, No file name for linux-headers-6.3.9-1-liquorix-amd64:amd64"
It ends with: "Problem detected while installing, please inspect the console output." Copied below.
The posted log indicates a failed reinstallation attempt of the liquorix linux kernel.
The error message seems not really helpful to figure out the cause of the issue.
But the reason might be this:
During installation a dkms-rebuild of some modules failed. In this case
the module rtl8821cu seems to be the show stopper.
Which is also clearly indicated with the package description of rtl8821cu-dkms:
Code: Select all
apt show rtl8821cu-dkms
...
Description: rtl8821cu driver in DKMS format, builds up to 5.17 kernels.
So to fix the installation would be to purge the show stopper:
OK, this removing of the conflicting package could be considered to be added to the MXPI entry within Populare Apps itself to avoid the installation hanger. Maybe someone could adjust this entry in MXPI at least as long as this package is conflicting

rtl882cu-dkms package has a directive in it to skip building on the kernels after 6.1. I have both rtl8821cu-dkms and the 6.3 liquorix kernel installed.
I don't want to remove a driver that may be in use. the part is supported in the 6.3 kernels I believe. but will play with it some more.
but this doesn't cause the error the user reports. the installation should complete, but with a problem report due to the skipped driver build. but its actually fully installed, just exits with a non-zero exit code.

My MX 23 beta2 is up 20 day now, so far so good.
I noticed firefox was using LOTs of RAM. I have 32G, and 27 was used, when I shut off most applications except firefox, as usual, some "isolated web content" , tabs using lots of memory and lots of CPU, usual firefox memory leaks and stuff. Though as an experiment on this beta install,I did not install no-script into fire fox as an experiment- I usually do. I think it limits some of these excess memory used in some tabs.
So after I killed firefox, and restarted it, restoring the session, looked and noticed many of my processes, as seen in top, the pid were over 1.3 million ! I never noticed this before, and I guess, things are running well, but those do seem bigger than what I usually see. These "big pids" can be from user or root. [It makes it harder to remember a pid to type a kill command]

I think I will set up removing rtl8821cu-dkms before installing kernels above 6.1. even with the build directrive to skip building, the postinstalls are still exiting with a non-zero exit code and the kernel, despite the fact that it works, will still try to reconfigure next app operation. @timkb4cq

Dear
@dolphin_oracle ,
As the "libparted2" package is installed on the MX 23 iso, you also need to install the "libparted-i18n" package for localisation.
I've updated the list.
Kind regards,
Wallon

I recorded the image with the help of Ventoy, MX 23 Beta was installed. Before that, there was an inscription about a critical error.

I don't know if this has already been reported and don't have time to look through 49 pages here. When using VLC media player 3gp media files do not play properly. The output is jerky and unintelligible. It appears that this is a Debian bug carried over into MX Beta and other Debian derivatives. Doesn't matter which Lenovo Thinkpad I'm using. Gives the same unintelligible results.

MX-23beta2 Fluxbox updated!
I like the new MXFB-tour, but I'm a little bit skeptical about its new fully transparent icon with the fully transparent description in the Polish localization...

Not a problem. @davemx: the only question for this thread is whether the default conky that MX delivers with MX-23 works on your machine. Otherwise please start a separate thread of your own--and state right at the beginning that you have modified the original.
+1 Thank you @Jerry3904
@davemx Start a new thread chornicalling your conky issues your seeing with you\re modified code.
It's great fun being piled on! Not. Especially by people who did not read my posts properly.
If you read my posts, you would see that after my amended version of Geeky-Tower didn't work properly, I created a temporary user, and loaded the ORIGINAL UNMODIFIED Geeky-Tower conky, as supplied with MX23ß2, and exactly the same thing happened. I suspected that maybe I needed to install a package or something. So, have you made the graph black since version 21 when it was white?

First of all: we were just trying to help in response to this first post of yours:
Anyway, in conky, MX-GeekyTowerLogo doesn't fully work because ${downspeedgraph and ${upspeedgraph don't work. They just return an empty box. However, ${downspeedf and ${upspeedf do work. Does it need some sort of driver to be installed, or is it just not compatible with certain updates?
Second: "I" didn't change anything but something may have happened during the complex migration development to MX-23. You can easily just change it to any color you like with MX Conky (details in its Help file).

Hello Everyone,
Today I bought a very good Samsung "Champagne Silver" 128GB - 400MB/s USB key to install MX Fluxbox 23 in the fr_BE language.
My day had started well but... it's not ending well. I have to stay calm because Eadwine Rose is keeping an eye on the forum.
I created the Live USB stick with Rufus as always. My stick is recognised straight away. I chose the language fr_BE and the time zone "Brussels". I run the md5 check and all the files are OK. My Belgian Azerty keyboard is recognised. It's different from the Azerty keyboard for France and that's a good thing.
I discover a Live key that mixes English and [fr] translations. I don't see many things translated into [fr_BE].
Three icons at the top of the screen don't work (Videos - Software - Install MX).
On the left of the screen, I have a dock with 3 icons. The tooltips are in English for;
1) MX Tools
2) Help
3) Settings Manager
If I click on the "Settings Manager" icon, the new window is all in English.
It's discouraging to translate...
If I click on the desktop, I get a half-English / half-French menu (see screenshot). It's really Pfffooouuuuu.
As the "Install MX" icon doesn't work and I couldn't find an option in the menu to launch the installation, I wasn't able to install MX FluxBox on my new Samsung USB key.
Honestly, what's going on?

Sounds like a complete gachis.
--Which version of MX-23 did you download? alpha 1/2, beta 1/2?
--All the desktop icons didn't work?! I have never seen that in testing and don't understand how that could happen.
--That All Apps script may not be localized (I'll check), but no one has ever pointed that out. The rest of the Root Menu should be.
--The Settings Manager is just picking up applications from /usr/share/applications so if the desktop files are localized I would expect it to show correctly. Some desktop files may only be localized to fr--but I don't know if that would make a difference to what you see.

Sadly, in English we have only one word for You, whether singular or plural. I meant that a few people (you plural) chimed in telling me to start a new thread, despite the fact that I had clarified that I had tested the conky script as supplied by MX as a temporary user.
Anyway, I went into my MX21-Xfce, and added the Geeky-Tower conky from MX23, unamended, with a white graph, and it worked perfectly. I then rebooted to MX23-beta and the self-same conky had the same problem, and ${downspeedgraph and ${upspeedgraph did not work. To be honest, even if it was black rather than white I could have seen it as it is over a grey area of desktop. I have no idea why this should be, and I reckon that if/when I install the new version, it will probably start working when I install another package! Anyway I have a more serious problem, which I will make another post for in this thread.

This is probably an idiosyncratic problem, but I have orage dependent on vdirsyncer which is in turn dependent on a legacy link to my Google account, which breaks their new OAuth rules. As I had already set up this link, I just had to change it to "testing" and it still works! For this I need legacy vdirsyncer version 18 and requests-oauthlib. I do keep searching on the net trying to work out how to set it all up under the new rules, but I can't find anything that makes sense. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would have a go at it.
Sadly, something in the new version blocks me from adding legacy vdirsyncer via "pip3 install", and the version in MX/Debian repos is 19. Is there a way that I can over-ride the block and install the versions I need?

Dear @Jerry3904,
You need to review the localisation for [fr_BE].
When I save information from the Quick Info PC program, I get a window that opens and asks "Open with zzzFM"?
zzzFM is used by antiX and not by MX Linux.
I don't know if zzzFM is compatible with MX Linux.
I have used SpaceFM a lot with MX Linux but not zzzFM.
Even the "Exit Options" button is not translated into [fr_BE]!

To close up the Conky issue...
In the built-in version of geeky-tower that comes with MX-23beta, the colours for ${downspeedgraph and ${upspeedgraph default to 000000 000000. It should be changed to FFFFFF FFFFFF for the release. What threw me in some of the replies I got, was that people were saying that 000000 000000 defaults to black, and I still couldn't see it when I put a light background behind it. It doesn't default to black, it defaults to transparent. Which is why the replies I got made no sense to me. What is odder, is that in the previous version, MX21, these colour settings appeared to be ignored, they came out white — I tried the MX23 version of geeky-tower on my MX21 install and I could see the graphs. This suggests that if some of the Conky scripts haven't been changed since MX21, they may need to be!
Anyway, I've solved my issue, and hopefully helped the developers make the final MX23 perfect!! I'd expect nothing less.
P.S. I'm guessing that in 000000 000000 or FFFFFF FFFFFF, one figure is colour, the other is opaqueness.

No, it is not.
As clarified in the
conky man-pages:
downspeedgraph (netdev) (height),(width) (gradient colour 1) (gradient colour 2) (scale) (-t) (-l)
Download speed graph, colours defined in hex, minus the #. If scale is non-zero, it becomes the scale for the graph. Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when you use -l switch. Takes the switch `-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value (try it and see).

Ensure that colours for down-and-up-speedgraph are FFFFFF FFFFFF and not 000000 000000.

I see. Well, if the background itself for the conky script is black, but made transparent so it comes out see-through grey, then the graph will be the same see-through grey and you won't be able to see it against any desktop, light or dark.

Perhaps use the gradient combo 000000 FFFFFF ???
The graph would start clear white and fades out to dark grey.
Actually, shouldn't this be decided by the author?

Of all the default backgrounds, the gradient combo 000000 FFFFFF works well with all of them, except one, and stays with the authors color scheme also .
Edit: I guess it would matter where the tower was placed too ;-/

Why not use a middle ground color like grey (808080) so that it shows on both light or dark colored backgrounds.

Is it possible to have drivers for a usb wifi adapter "wifi ac1300 Archer t3u plus tplink" in the kernel without to have to add them ?
lsusb
ID 2357:0138 TP-Link 802.11ac NIC
iwconfig
Bit Rate:400 Mbit/s
Kernel 6.1 does not seem to have these drivers. I tested some other newer kernel (liquorix 6.2 ) with not good results. The usb wifi adapter was very slow or not stable.
I found a guide to install the driver , with this driver the USB wifi Adapter seems quite stable with 6.1 kernel.
Anyway to have to install wifi drivers does not seem a simple thing (you need another way to access internet for example). I made a search for the module which is called RTL8822bu in synaptic , but it's not present any module with that name.
this is the link to the driver and the guide

Dear @Jerry3904,
You need to review the localisation for [fr_BE].
When I save information from the Quick Info PC program, I get a window that opens and asks "Open with zzzFM"?
zzzFM is used by antiX and not by MX Linux.
I don't know if zzzFM is compatible with MX Linux.
I have used SpaceFM a lot with MX Linux but not zzzFM.
Even the "Exit Options" button is not translated into [fr_BE]!
the exit-options tooltip on the tint2 panel is coded into the tint2rc file. I'm not sure that file supports localization.
as for the "open file in zzzFM". apparently that's in the translation file. It should just be "Open Folder". Likely the translation was automatically pulled from antiX string source.
** fixed now. apparently the translations were updated on transifex the day after the last packaging. all good.

Hello Everyone,
Today I bought a very good Samsung "Champagne Silver" 128GB - 400MB/s USB key to install MX Fluxbox 23 in the fr_BE language.
My day had started well but... it's not ending well. I have to stay calm because Eadwine Rose is keeping an eye on the forum.
I created the Live USB stick with Rufus as always. My stick is recognised straight away. I chose the language fr_BE and the time zone "Brussels". I run the md5 check and all the files are OK. My Belgian Azerty keyboard is recognised. It's different from the Azerty keyboard for France and that's a good thing.
I discover a Live key that mixes English and [fr] translations. I don't see many things translated into [fr_BE].
Three icons at the top of the screen don't work (Videos - Software - Install MX).
On the left of the screen, I have a dock with 3 icons. The tooltips are in English for;
1) MX Tools
2) Help
3) Settings Manager
If I click on the "Settings Manager" icon, the new window is all in English.
It's discouraging to translate...
If I click on the desktop, I get a half-English / half-French menu (see screenshot). It's really Pfffooouuuuu.
As the "Install MX" icon doesn't work and I couldn't find an option in the menu to launch the installation, I wasn't able to install MX FluxBox on my new Samsung USB key.
Honestly, what's going on?
Wallon
the side panel tool-tips do not support localization. the tool-tips are not produced from the desktop files, but from the entries in the .fluxbox/scripts/DefaultDock.mxdk file.
I believe we have already fixed the non-working links.
the "settings manager" is custom-toolbox. not sure why its not localizing.
@Adrian . In my test some parts localize and some parts don't with fr_BE, but es_ES works much better.

Testing the beta 2 live session for KDE. Thanks for fixing the gamepad bug as well as editing the system info screen and adding the Wayland session. One minor bug: When a USB gamepad is connected or has been disconnected and then logging out and starting a new Wayland session, the attemped login kicks me back to the login screen. WORKAROUND: After SDDM loads, wait 10 seconds without touching the keyboard, then input the password to login. That will fix the Wayland login issue. Rebooting may also fix the issue, but I cannot really test that in a live session. I'm not sure how to fix this bug, but it's nothing major as long as you perform the workaround.
It's also worth noting that when the USB gamepad remains connected and you log in by inputting the password without clicking on the password field, then you should be fine.

I've ported over a PPA's GTK 4 current Celluloid,version 0.25 of an mpv frontend for MX 23 test, since I haven't installed it yet and don't know how it interacts with our GTK 3 theming in XFCE and compatibility in KDE. Also we can check out installing from MXPI's test repo tab now. Currently, Celluloid is the only application in the TR.
I don't know if there are any other GTK 4 apps in Debian at all, but it is supposed to be the future, and we might need a whole discussion thread on its theming issues if it's anything like GTK 3.

I believe file-roller is also gtk4. we learned alot about its themeing, and make sure to set the dark-mode switch in gconf to accommodate it.
and its nice to have things in test now...

This issue is about the reported broken pipe "Error" within the dkms script itself at line 2497 with /sbin/dkms.
They do use "smart" logic to check whether /proc is mounted or not:
Code: Select all
# The <(cmd) idiom does not work if /proc is not mounted
if [ ! -e <(echo) ]; then
warn $"dkms will not function properly if /proc is not mounted."
fi
I guess something changed in bash - but despite bash's broken pipe the test seems to work.

Dear developers,
A developer reacted by telling me that I shouldn't use Rufus.
He asked me to recreate a Live USB key with the "MX Live USB Maker" program to install the MX Fluxbox 23 ISO beta 2.
I downloaded the ISO again.
I used the "GtkHash" program to check the MD5 and SHA256.
I burned the ISO on a Live USB key with "MX Live USB Maker".
The Live USB key works very well.
Language selection [fr_BE], time zone selection Brussels.
The Azerty keyboard for Belgium is recognised in Geany.
The 3 icons (Videos, Software, Install MX) don't work.
I have restarted the Live USB key.
Language selection [fr], Paris time zone selection.
The Azerty keyboard for France is recognised in Geany.
The 3 icons (Videos, Software, Install MX) don't work.
So there's no difference between Rufus and MX Live USB Maker.
Will there be a new MX Fluxbox 23 ISO version beta 3 ?
Best regards,
Wallon

Unit runs good without any major issues. VLC works with no errors. I was just streaming some SuperCars from Oz in 720p and it was smooth without artifacts, tearing, etc.
I did notice that the QSI shows "Src: lm-sensors+/sys Message: No sensor data found using /sys/class/hwmon or lm-sensors." but I have a terminal open running watch on sensors w/2 sec refresh showing 61.8C after watching the stream.
One thing that I have noticed is that when the screensaver, w/the default settings, kicks in the only way I can get out of it is ctrl+alt+backspace and then log back into my account.

What is considered the default wallpaper for MX-23 beta 2? I've been using the Tangram wallpaper but I'm curious which is default. Also, I would personally suggest shipping 16:9 aspect ratio wallpapers as well because it's way more common than 16:10 in this day and age.

the wallpaper that is on beta2 is default. it should be in your desktop settings as "default.png".

Hi.
I am currently using Mx-23. The question is, which version? I know that I downloaded the beta one and had it installed. I was enjoying using that. Later I downloaded beta two with intentions of checking it out for you (and of course myself.) I am not certain if I installed it. I don't think so.
Is there someway to check which beta I am using? Or is beta one updated to beta two anyway, by way of updates?
Thanks for your attention.

Dear @Melber ,
I have no problem installing;
MX XFCE beta 2 - 64bits
MX KDE beta 2 - 64bits
So I don't understand how you install MX Fluxbox beta 2 - 64bits?
Have you tested the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version?
In what language do you launch the Live USB key? English?
Best regards,
Wallon

@Wallon
Code: Select all
MX-23_fluxbox_beta2_x64 Libretto June 15 2023
I installed with the system language set to German (de_DE) and just clicked the install icon. I had first tested the live-usb with both English and German and all 3 icons worked fine.
The videos and software icons also work fine in my installed version (with German as system language).
As I said, I don't have your issue when I boot the live-usb and select either fr_BE or fr as system language at the grub screen.
Have you tried creating a new desktop icon with MX-idesktool and checking if the new icon works?
+++edit+++
What are the contents of these files on your live usb?

Dear @Melber,
To install MX Flubox beta 2 - 64 bit, you need to launch the Live USB key in English.
The icons are active. I managed to install it in [fr_BE]
So there is a big BUG! If you launch the Live USB key in French or in French Belgium, the icons are not active.
Translation problem? Wrong typewriter apostrophe in the translation?

they are active for me on MX-23_fluxbox_beta2. when launched in fr_BE.
I'm not sure where your problem lies.

@Wallon, what type of USB stick are you using when making the Live-USB? It has been my experience that budget models can be troublesome. On a machine like yours, it should take roughly 3-5 minutes to burn a Live-USB using a median quality USB Thumb drive. If it's taking much longer, like 7 minutes, then I would recommend replacing it with a quality unit, they make a world of difference. Personally, I use USB-SSD drives like this one -->
https://www.netac.com/product/US2-54.html, and the key to getting a decent unit is to look for the drives capabilities in MBPS instead of just the USB standard it conforms to.
Another thing I noticed from your qsi posted on page 51 -->
viewtopic.php?p=732433#p732433 <-- where your hardware stands out from the norm is the 4K 3840*1080 display with the open-source Noveau driver. If you can spare the time and effort, what effect does installing the nvidia driver have on your machine? I'm thinking in terms of the display x-y mapping here potentially not aligning with the icon positioning.
@dolphin_oracle is it possible to boot live with root persistence, install the nvidia drivers and reboot with persistence again to get a working nvidia driver at the next boot? I don't have any machines with such hardware so I just don't know.
If it is possible, I wonder if it would assist with the issue above, specifically in relation to mapping the icon positions to mouse clicks. Wallon has now got a fully featured Live USB and should be able to make changes running live, save them in persistence and potentially re-use them? (drivers) for subsequent live-with-persistence runs.
EDIT - added link to wallons qsi thread

yes you can use nvidia drivers on a live usb with persistence.

Dear developers,
I have installed MX Linux KDE beta 2 in [fr_BE] on USB key (format "f2fs")
All is good.
I noticed that the SHA256 and MD5 checks on the SourceForge website do not match the ISO.

If the numbers don't match you are bound to run into issues. Hunting those down basically are a waste of time as the iso you installed from was faulty, even though it did install. Been there, done that, just a tip for the future.

This isn't really a bug report, but rather a general question about using the beta live with persistence. Once the beta period is over and the official release is out, is there any reason why I can't continue to use it? Will the beta automatically transition into the production version? I'm just curious if I'll need to re-image my USB drive once the beta is over. Thanks for all your hard work!

You could use it but it wouldn't be complete. Already there are adjustments that are introduced at the build stage for the next RC1 when it comes available. Your best option is the use our "User Installed Packages" to make a list of your package modifications and reinstall when the final is released, however, we usually support RC1 and later through to full release status unless there are any major show-stoppers.
Note for reinstalling, if you've heavily modified your users accounts home folder, you can back it up and selectively restore elements that do not overwrite critical configs. If you use Firefox, you can restore your entire ~/.mozilla folder in full to the same location in your fresh install provided you have not yet opened firefox and it will be exactly as you remember it, but if you restore by overwriting the primary folders like Documents, Pictures, etc, then you may experience some oddities, however, it is perfectly safe to restore the contents of each folder without overwriting the folder itself.

Dear @Eadwine Rose , Dear @dolphin_oracle , Dear @Melber , Dear @Jerry3904 , Dear @m_pav , Dear @fehlix ,
I've found the solution for using Live USB sticks with MX Fluxbox Beta 2 - 64 bits with language [fr] or [fr_BE] and with an Azerty keyboard!
I've tried several Live sticks. I always had the same problem, the icons on the desktop are not active.
I tested my Live keys on my Dell Latitude Pro 5590 laptop (i5-8350U - 16 GO ram - no graphics card - Intel UHD Graphics 620 - i915 driver). Still the same problem, the icons on the desktop are not active!
So it's not linked to the « nouveau » driver for Nvidia graphics cards!
Here's the solution for my computers;
F2 Language = French or French (BE)
F3 Time Zone = Paris or Brussels
F7 Console = ask
Press " Enter
Choose 1920x1080x8 resolution or 1920x1080x16 resolution or 1920x1080x32 resolution.
All the icons on the desktop are active on all my Live USB sticks.
Remark;
I should never do this with antiX.
I should never do this with MX Linux XFCE or MX Linux KDE.
I should never do this with Debian 12 Gnome or Debian 12 IceWm (net install each time, I don't use Calamarès).
Thank you for your patience, I know this has upset many people on the forum.
Kind regards,
Wallon

You could use it but it wouldn't be complete. Already there are adjustments that are introduced at the build stage for the next RC1 when it comes available. Your best option is the use our "User Installed Packages" to make a list of your package modifications and reinstall when the final is released, however, we usually support RC1 and later through to full release status unless there are any major show-stoppers.
Note for reinstalling, if you've heavily modified your users accounts home folder, you can back it up and selectively restore elements that do not overwrite critical configs. If you use Firefox, you can restore your entire ~/.mozilla folder in full to the same location in your fresh install provided you have not yet opened firefox and it will be exactly as you remember it, but if you restore by overwriting the primary folders like Documents, Pictures, etc, then you may experience some oddities, however, it is perfectly safe to restore the contents of each folder without overwriting the folder itself.
Thanks! I'll probably do a re-install, it's a little bit of work to get things back to where I am now on the beta but it's probably the best thing to do. I'm not too customized at this point that I couldn't re-create things in a hour or so (or less). The beta has been pretty solid thus far for me, other than the issue I had with not having the correct zram init script installed because I didn't have zramswap-sysvinit-compat installed and was using the script that came by default.
Really looking forward to the release!

Even after a couple reboots, the desktop no longer loads properly and is unusable.

Broken means I can't even open a terminal, either from an icon or by keyboard shortcut. Everything is frozen. So that makes it hard to do anything.
Right now I am chrooted into MX from another distro.

Doesn't sound related to MX PackageInstaller at all.
Run the package installer with -s "sudo mx-packagesinstaller -s" (see --help)

I ran a system restore to fix my desktop, and then ran your suggested command
MXPI works correctly, that way.

This is a guide for MXlinux to install protonvpn
https://protonvpn.com/support/official- ... -mx-linux/
The guide to install protonvpn work well with MX21,instead with MX23 the part of "Linux system tray icon" of proton-vpn-gui doesn't work.( the guide ton install for debian seems the same ).
In the guide say to install this package "gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1" but this package does not exist.
It would be great to add "protonvpn" in mx-packageinstaller.

I succeeded in fixing MXPI using the same suggestion as
@Adrian made in the other thread
viewtopic.php?p=716854#p716854
where you said
Sorry, I think the config file is read from /root/.config/MX-Linux/mx-packageinstaller.conf (it might depend how you launch the program), so add the "skiponlinecheck=true" there too.

Edit the post by strike out for instance, so it can still be seen, and state the mistake. Because people respond to it when they see it, and then having it gone devaluates their effort to help you. It is also bad form to remove the entire content.

Thanks, will do.
@Adrian Although I got MXPI to behave properly, using your old fix, I still ended up with a permanently frozen desktop. Can't figure that one out. I had to run a system restore several times so I could continue testing.

@4ps4all Seems that link is for previous versions of MX. Debian Bookworm doesn't have gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 in it's repo.
Have you tried this method.

Code: Select all
Linux system tray icon
Please note that we don’t support the system tray icon on Debian 11
because the package gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 has been depreciated
and is not present on Debian 11.

The Proton install guide you cite has been written some time ago. It refers to "MX Linux 19+" in the line under the title. It links to a Deb file dated 12-May-2023.
For MX Linux 23 the desktops were updated: Xfce was updated from 4.16 to 4.18 and KDE Plasma was updated from 5.20.5 to 5.27.5
Let us know what their Debian 12 (released June 2023) support plans are. It would be best that you, as a Proton account holder make a support inquiry. MX 19 was based on Debian 10 and MX 21 was based on Debian 11.
ALSO: knowing what that extra bit they ask to be installed (gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1) actually is as that would help in packaging it for MX 23 too. I checked and found:
Code: Select all
$ apt info gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1
Package: gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1
State: not a real package (virtual)
N: Can't select candidate version from package gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 as it has no candidate
N: Can't select versions from package 'gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1' as it is purely virtual
N: No packages found

...I've tried several Live sticks. I always had the same problem, the icons on the desktop are not active....
Do you mean you made various live-usbs from the same "bad" iso or did you download the iso again and then make a live-usb from that?
Are the icons active if you boot the "bad" live-usb with English as system language? What about other languages?
Does a right click on inactive icons do anything? It should open an idesk menu.
...Here's the solution for my computers...
F7 Console = ask
Press " Enter
Choose 1920x1080x8 resolution or 1920x1080x16 resolution or 1920x1080x32 resolution.
All the icons on the desktop are active on all my Live USB sticks...
Maybe idesk has a problem with whatever is getting set with auto screen resolution selection on your system rather than the language selection?

gir1.2-appindicator is in both the main MX21 repo
https://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/pool/main/li ... _amd64.deb (Maintainer: SwampRabbit) and the MX21 Test repo
https://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/pool/tes ... _amd64.deb (Maintainer: Steven Pusser). ProtonVPN therefore installs fine for me in MX21 with the system tray icon.
The absence of gir1.2-appindicator in Bullseye also affects quodlibet -
https://github.com/quodlibet/quodlibet/issues/3842.
If one of the current maintainers in MX21 could do so for MX23 it would be very welcome.

Dear
@Melber ,
In summary, the MX Fluxbox ISO image has always been good and I have always checked the SHA256 and MD5 signatures. I have never had a problem with the MX Fluxbox beta 2 - 64 bits ISO image. I downloaded the MX Fluxbox ISO image several times and the signatures were always good.
I have never had a problem with my USB keys. They are of good quality!
I always checked with "Arandr" if the resolution was good on my Live USB sticks. But that doesn't seem to be enough.
When I do "F7 Console" when I start up my Live USB sticks to choose the right resolution, I can right-click on the desktop icons. I get an English menu or a new help window.
I've installed Nvidia's proprietary driver because there's screen tearing with the "nouveau" driver. The installation went well.
For the moment, my MBR installation (Legacy) is working well in [fr_BE].
Kind regards,
Wallon

Hi:
Although I see that RC1 is not announced, I have tested the Fluxbox RC1s and I have seen this:
I don't know if it has to be like that, I ask... in Fluxbox (x32 and x64) the packages "mx-fluxbox-about and mxfb-art" are not installed.
In Fluxbox (x32 and x64) the installer does not pick up the change to dark mode with the "mx-confort-dark" theme that I do from the ISO-Live, I attach image.
In Fluxbox (x32 and x64) the "Mugshog" app runs at the same time with a terminal, I think that was only for the beta.
Regards
