gksudo is the equivalent for me in mX-14. Not sure if it came in by installing something else as I no longer have a clean install.

Question . . . is sudo set up as default in MX-14? Or can one set a root pwd during installation and avoid the sudo thing altogether? I've only run MX-14 from live cd. Seems at some point I opened a root terminal, entered 'root' as pwd and it worked but I may be imagining that I did that . . .

I should have said or gksu. Yes su is setup. You do not have to use sudo.

You can always tell when I haven't gotten my nap in. I'm particularly unconscious about where I am on the Forum. Apologies to those that do know where they are....

I've found some odd behaviour when installing from the meta-installer.
I used it to install Firefox. It ran properly. I then right-clicked on its entry in the menu, and selected 'Add to Panel'. It added a launcher, but the launcher was devoid of any information. It was exactly as if I had placed a blank launcher on the panel from the Panel>Add New Items dialogue.
I deleted the launcher, logged out, then back in, and was then able to successfully add a functioning launcher.
I then installed something else from Synaptic. Once installed, I was able to create a working launcher as would be the expected behaviour.
It's not a huge problem, but would be confusing for a novice.
Chris
EDIT:
I've just tried this whilst running live, and was unable to replicate the behaviour, so it must be something I've changed.
I will try this on the next Beta.

And sudo is set up by default, so it can be used. Root is the password for, ummm, root in Live mode.

Re-install over previous Beta1. No change needed for grub4dos menu entry since I installed grub to root on /dev/sda2.
/home sits on /dev/sdb2 as a test of the installer.
Pretty freshly done so nothing new to report.
For the blinking cursor boot posts. I burned a cd on one computer that threw that up. My md5sum is correct because I have the same iso on a another computer. Anyhows. I tried the blinking cursor cd on a few computers. Then stopped because of no changes. I booted a 01-04-2014 Parted Magic cd I have to make sure my old dvdrom was OK.
Then burned another cd on another computer. Same cd -r Memorex cheapo walmart brand.
Booted up fine with copied iso on another computer.
Code: Select all

I don't deal with shares on this rig as it is a playtoy for customers and I don't want them accessing my other gear.

UGH! Is there an option to NOT have sudo set up at all on install?

some of the antix stuff requires sudo to be set up.
but you could remove it...or delete the contents of the sudoers file.

Is there a list of that 'stuff' somewhere? Thanks!
