Fired up my old XP machine. MX Manual.pdf opens OK and videos work on Adobe Acrobat 7 and Nuance PDF Converter 6.
Adobe Reader 8.1 went through the motions and asked if I wished to connect to the appropriate web page, but would not connect.

MX Linux comes with Iceweasel installed, which is a fork of Mozilla’s Firefox® that adds some additional security and omits trademarked artwork. Beyond these two changes, it is identical to Firefox®, and supports all the same add-ons.
What additional security ?, because backporting of security fixes from a more current version of firefox is not adding additional security.
It should read

Subsection 3.6.3, the .pulse-volicon-cheat.sh script.
#!/bin/bash
pulse audio — start
sleep 2
volumeicon &
exit 0
Remove the space between "pulse" and "audio".

also, the - should be -- in front of "start" with no space..

Code: Select all

pulseaudio --start

This occurs in a number of places through the Manual. It's probably because of Lyx auto-substituting. I spotted the following in the HTML version:
4.8.3
6.4.2 Accessing documentation
6.5.2
7.3 CLI commands

Also the <> characters in code boxes:
6.4.1 last code
6.6.3 at end.

These will only matter if the code is copied.

Relating to pulseaudio - 3.6.3 says "best installed via synaptic", but MX Package Manager does a more thorough job.

Yeah, they were originally all correct. But then some goofball editor decided to replace the two en-dashes in the Manual with one em-dash to make it look more professional, forgetting that they appear correctly in some of the code...

Phil - I guess that you are referring to the shape of the > symbols in the pdf? We have a problem with them. < and > are not
available in the fonts.
