MX-23 beta 2 feedback thread

[user-green]

You may want to give more details:
"MX Package Installer" latest version 23.6 displays here correctly:
with system locale in English:
mxpi_en.jpg
and also in Japanese:
mxpi_ja.jpg

fehlix,
Thank you for your posting. I confirmed it on default Xfce environment.
Perhaps I should not call it a bug, as it appears on MATE desktop when we add MATE simply from MX-Package-Installer.

Best reards

P.S. I thought it was a software thing, so I posted it there, but the thread was locked.

As I explained: you are running the beta. The beta is not final yet, and as the announcement requested: feedback using the beta goes in the beta 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.

Man, I haven't burned a CD in a million years but will take a look today.

Needs 153 new packages, lordy lordy.

I didn't try yet a downloaded b2--will later. Can you start in a terminal so we could see any error messages? (If you did that already I missed it)

[chrispop99]

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

Code: Select all

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

I used some MP3 files, in data mode.

Chris

[Jerry3904]

I wonder if the problems are specific to file type or size?

--I installed Xfce b2, updated and installed k3b
-- burned a folder with 10 images
--no errors, files written and accessible

[MintHawk]

@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...?

@siamhie

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
