MX-19 RC1 Feedback thread

[BitJam]

when you implement the fix, I will test it. I gotta sleep now. It's 5:30am here. I'm way off my curfew. Have a good night BjtJam :-)

Wow. This Debian sysvinit code hurts my brain.

I've attached a small tarball called xtra.tgz. If you *copy* this tarball to the /antiX/ directory it will add my fix on every live boot. Don't unpack the tarball just copy it.

The plan is simple. If the file /etc/default/keyboard differs from the default version we ship on the iso file then we will call "setupcon -k". When it does this, it will say "Setting up live keyboard layout" on tty1. Sometimes messages fill the screen and scroll off the top. The cheat "tty1off" will disable login on tty1 which saves some lines.

You can also run the script manually after you've booted:

sudo service setup-keyboard.sh start

[srq2625]

@srq2625: as I said, so far I have not been able to replicate this behavior, even with the Panel set to 75 width. If that only happens in a VM but is correct in an installation, it is not much of a problem for us.

We can return to your individual situation after we get MX-19 out the door. When that happens, start a separate thread showing us the steps to take from a clean install of MX-19 to reproduce the problem. Or file that as a bug report (click "Bugs" on the top right menu).

@Jerry3904 : Understood. This does not happen just in a VM. Same exact behavior when installed on bare metal (as the only install on the computer). But, will re-address this after MX-19 is released.

Thanks

Video Tweaks:
Detected possible Hybrid Graphics

I don't know enough about video graphics, but it looks like your machine selected and ran with the radeon driver in MX18, but it's using another driver by default in MX19.

You'll have to wait for the experts to give you advice on how to deal with your hybrid graphics.

Thank you for your reply. Whom can I ask for help?
