Proposed updated AV Linux 23.2 ISO - Improvements?

@cinclus

My apologies for the delay, I'm currently dealing with a herniated disk in my back and I've had to cut down my "slumping-in-front-of-a-screen" time.. Unfortunately I have no definitive answer why Excel is not launching from the menu. When you say "Main menu" do you mean the traditional menu or the the "Run Everything" menu with Text search?

To be clear Excel itself runs quite normal both when running from the traditional menu and from the run everything menu, but in both cases with the additional error message.

Yo, Glenn -

Thank you so much for keeping up with the ALV-MXE upgrades!
Personally, I don't really care for the "Enlightenment" flavored desktop, but I appreciate new experiences as long as I'm able to stay productive and
Thunar is a big help there.

I read (in your long post above) that you've already dealt with the screen dimming issue that I was seek a fix for. AWESOME!
I also see that release 23.3 is expected shortly?!?
I just missed the 23.2 release as I downloaded 23.1 on 4/1 !!!!!!
No problem, I haven't declared my system as "production-worthy" yet because I'm still trying to get used to the new Desktop and Admin tools...
So, I might just wait for 23.3.

Anyway... I hope you're well and enjoying your OS and Music Production!

Very Best Regards,
Patrick Buryk

Glenn -
I might as well post another condition that I encountered with 23.1...
I downloaded the Linux version of Mixbus V10 (I'm a BETA Tester).
I right-clicked on the bundle and there was no app detected to unbundle/install it.
Not a show-stopper as I simply used a Terminal and SUDO to extract and run the contents.
Should this have been doable via the GUI?
Curious...

Cheers!
Patrick

Hi Patrick, your support is VERY much appreciated!

The screen dimming thing may not be completely fixed, it seems the new default setting to not fade the backlight may still not work on all systems. The real fix is to simply set the system to boot systemd once installed as detailed in the 23.2 release announcement:
http://www.bandshed.net/2024/04/05/av-l ... so-update/

As far as installing Mixbus, you shouldn't need a right-click option, Thunar is set to execute scripts so once you have the '.run' file simply double-clicking should execute it. I am also a beta tester but I haven't had time to grab the beta yet, I will see how it behaves on my system..

Oh... and the "23.3" upcoming MX release will not be followed by a 23.3 AVL ISO, all the MX stuff in AV Linux will automatically be updated to 23.3 through regular updates and I'm into an extremely busy spring and summer season and will not be actively working on AVL for several months, so "23.2" will be the last release for a while..

To follow up...

I finally did get around to downloading and installing Mixbus10 Pro, for me right-clicking on the downloaded Mixbus compressed file gave me an option to extract and from there simply double clicking opened the '.run' file and terminal window to install, hopefully that works for you in the future.

For the redshift post in here. Here is a executable I keep in my antiX test folder

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
##
# RJP 11.4.2024
# Manual display´s color temperature changer for sleeping better
# Packages Yad, Xgamma and Xsct must be installed
# 14.4.2024 Xgamma night and day modes added
yad --form --columns=1 --width=500 --height=450 --scroll --text="DISPLAY COLOR TEMPERATURE CHANGER:" \
--field="Night Color":fbtn "bash -c 'xsct 4500 1.0; exec bash' & " \
--field="Day Color":fbtn "bash -c 'xsct 6500 1.0; exec bash' & " \

--field="Brightness Xgamma 0.4":fbtn "bash -c 'xgamma -gamma 0.4; exec bash' & " \
--button=Exit:1

Name on text file is EYE_HELPER

I could move it /usr/local/bin. and just launch

Code: Select all

EYE_HELPER

from there. Still testing it though. Make sure you hit the execute check box in thunar for that file. In ZZZFM in antiX. I get execute with right click choices.
Maybe AV can use this.

Forgot to show this.
