Just wondering, does it work on antiX?

Yes, I have the antiX 19ß installed for testing, and once I added the digimend.conf file as above and restarted X, yes, xsetwacom --list did list the "two" devices of my tablet.

I'd like to make a suggestion about this. I got the digimend.conf by copying it from dkms-digimend project. But all that the dkms does, apart from supply the Xorg conf file, is to replace certain drivers in the kernel with the latest versions, which is only needed if the existing ones don't work with your hardware.

So could this be added to MX and antiX repos, but in two parts, the digimend.conf file which can installed on its own, and the dkms-digimend which will depend on the conf file. No need to have dkms's when you don't actually need them.

I see that libasan0 is a jessie package (https://packages.debian.org/search?suit ... s=libasan0), the dependency in the MX-17/18/Stretch version is for libasan3.

Code: Select all

Package: mp3gain
Version: 1.5.2-r2-6.1~mx17+1
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Fabrizio Regalli <fabreg@fabreg.it>
Installed-Size: 301
Depends: libasan3 (>= 6.2), libc6 (>= 2.7)
Homepage: http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/

edit: and libasan3 is only a Stretch package, not in Buster. A mp3gain package built on a Buster base should probably depend on libasan5, which is in the Buster repos and is installed by default or libasan4 (also in the Buster repos).

FYI I've also noted the GUI for MP3GAIN is no longer available for buster. I found
easymp3gain-data_0.5.0+svn135-5_all.deb
easymp3gain-gtk_0.5.0+svn135-5_amd64.deb
in jessie.
Also youtube-dlg is missing. I found
youtube-dlg_0.4-1~webupd8~bionic9_all.deb
in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) I learned my lesson a long time ago about trying to mix and match so normally if a program is not in MX repos, I don't install.

I suppose the point or issue is that all of these were cool little programs and were all available in MX 18 stable and they worked wonderfully to obtain and work with MP3.
My back-up program to youtube-dlg was Clipgrab which is also in MX 19 stable repo. However Clipgrab is doing some strange things with Ublock Origin ad blocker impacting, at least, foxnews.com in both chromium based browsers and FF. You can find a thread i opened about two pages back. If an oversight hopefully we can get all these programs back, but if they are not supported and/or cause breakages leading to loss of data, then so be it, they have run their course.

MX 19 will be great. The re-addition of the above programs remains to be seen, but hopefully they will.
Obviously thanks for all the time y'all put into this incredible distro and thanks for letting me input some observations.

Speaking of little programs: does py.Loader still exist (couldn't find it)? If not, and that is intentional, then the Custom action needs to be removed from Thunar.

Thanks. The custom action does not however seem to be functioning

we actually don't have a custom action. it should just be a standard right-click menu entry, not an actual custom action. It should show up where the "Open With" type stuff is.

I just tried it with /usr/bin/apt-notifier.py and it starts up ok.

[Jerry3904]

Huh. Didn't work with the wacom-gui but glad it works with others
