The .conky MyConky and five ManyRoads in .conky
need xftalpha= value to be greater than zero
shows text.
The value of zero is not showing text, in those six conky.

In "Exit Options", no buttons (icons) are translated! As all the buttons are in grey and black, new users will hesitate before clicking!

The "papersize" file is not located.
This is an important variable in the system.
Explanations are not given in the MX Linux manual.
New users do not know this.
In my case, in Europe, I have to replace "letter" with "a4".
Everything must be written in lower case.
As a reminder, Debian 12 Gnome locates this file directly.

I don't think it was a wise choice to activate ufw.

In my case, I protect my desktop like a server with a UPS (battery that filters the electric current - Eaton Ellipso Pro 650). A USB cable connects the battery to my desktop. Communication between my desktop and the external battery stops because of the firewall.

Hplip can't find my printer on the local network. My printer is connected to the modem by an RJ45 cable.

It's really simple to disable it entirely if you choose.

Search gufw from the menu, enter your password, then use the Status slider to turn the firewall off.

I know that, but you have to think about new users.
I can already see all the questions on the forum. Why can't MX Linux find my printer? Please help me. You'll have to answer all the questions...

In MX Tweaks for Fluxbox, you need to translate the options.
Have a look at my printscreen.

I'll look at that but it won't be soon. those are the fluxbox variables. at the moment the options are used to set the features directly.

I've just tested on a fresh MX-23 RC3 Fluxbox install, and both my network printers have been automatically detected without disabling the firewall, so it's not going to be something that affects all users.

Other leading Linux distros have shipped with an enabled firewall for years, without it being a problem for users. It adds another layer of security in some situations, so was important for MX Linux to use it.

Option: Update -> does nothing! No window opens.
Option: Deactivate -> MX Tweaks window opens!

Update does its work without opening a window
Deactivate opens the MX Tweak window where the user can uncheck the default to "Generate an All Apps etc."
