MX Linux Forum

I have installed and run MX linux casually from the version 14. and I have really like. It’s well done, stable and use a very little amount of ram.

Unfortunaly I have something to complain for the latest version. The repo of Sweden is nearest to me. I cannot update all from it when I use the original iso. It seems that everything has upload but when I change the repo to Usa or Greek I get a lot of new updates. It’s very strange.

I have also trouble with Firefox and Thunderbird. They both start with black screen which also flash. I take about one second with Firefox and three with Thunderbird. I don’t now what’s the matter. I have tried Xubuntu (18.04) and Peppermint 8 without any issues. They have not such a problem.

When I installed language packages (swedish or finnish) they don’t translate Firefox and Thunderbird automatically. I must download language packages from webb and install the xpi packages manually. After that I must also configure Firefox: about:config → intl.locale.requested → (se or fi). This is a minor problem and I can managed with it. But I don’t like black screens. That’s why I use prefer the previous version.

I give however 10 points because of MX linux is so good. I hope the developers can fix the problems as soon as possible.

Which Sweden repo? This one should work I think: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mxlinux.org/packages that's what we have in MX Repo Manager, let me know if that doesn't work well and we can take it out.

The index of that mirror shows nothing later than 2016
