I was unable to find where to look for notification history in beta. Any suggestions?

Would this be the notification log you are looking for?
If so, I think you'll find it here:
Open the Menu app:
select Settings/Settings Manager and open Notifications.
There is the "log" tab, is this what you are looking for? If yes, that's great, if not, I'm sorry for my answer.

Issue report: Thunar>file>checksum>cannot select and copy the hashes. Also, the progress bar doesn't update beyond 50%; it's stuck there all the time even when done; no updates during the checksum process.

Just as a data point, I was able to boot a Mac Mini (Late 2014) live in EFI mode, and create live persistence. It seems like everything works.

I have a media server app that I installed on MX-21 and it creates a user with a uid of 998. Now when I login I have this app user appear in the login greeter. I don't believe mx19 had this issue as I had the same media server running on it. I thought a user had to have a UID of 1000 or more for it to show up as a valid user in the login greeter. MX User manager does not list this user.
I looked at /etc/lightdm/users.conf and found a line
so I changed it to
However the app user still appears in the login greeter. Tried a restart after changing the file but still this user shows up.
How can I hide this user from the login greeter? Is there a different setting I should change?

Try this as normal user:
Code: Select all
sudo sed -i '/SystemAccount=/s/false/true/' /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$(id -nu 998)
and reboot.
+++EDIT++ If the file /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$(id -nu 998)
was not yet created, b/c never logged in, do just create it:
Code: Select all
printf "[User]\nSystemAccount=true\n" | sudo tee /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$(id -nu 998)
sudo chmod 600 /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$(id -nu 998)

I got this as a response.
Code: Select all
sed: can't read /var/lib/AccountsService/users/nextpvr: No such file or directory
