I'll need to set it up like I had it before with MX-19.4, preventing unneeded services from starting and installing Falkon then configuring Fluxbox to use it instead of Firefox. Meanwhile it doesn't seem to be any slower than MX-19.4 with Fluxbox.

Quick System Info's not being copied to the clipboard if I close the terminal before pasting for some reason, or it is but won't paste. Not sure what's up with that.

@Senpai
On the beta 1 thread (wich is now locked) you said:

Code: Select all

Trying the right-click menu entries on the screen:

Between "Run" and "Terminal" there is an empty space, if you press it it launches the "Settings manager", the name is missing to see it and be able to translate it.

I have seen a typo in my Spanish translation, is this menu uploaded to Transifex?

In All App->Accessories (full_menu):
"App Finder" entry is duplicated.
"compton" does nothing and does not show any error, from console it says that it is already running.

In All App->System
Ndivia driver installer, does not work, from MX tools, it works.
MX fix keys, the entry is duplicated and does nothing, from MX tools, it works.

All App->Settings:
Window manager settings, it does nothing...
Window manager, does nothing...

I originally developed the script that generates the "all apps" menu, so I can provide some info about this problems. It basicaly reads all .desktop files in /usr/share/applications, extracting the first "Exec" command it finds, icon and categories, and them sorts everything into the default debian categories- this usually works in a flawless way, but there can be some problematic cases...

*"Window manager"- does nothing because tries to run xfwm4 - wich is incompatible with fluxbox
*the same goes for "Window manager tweaks" (not "settings")
*"compton" - simply launches compton compositor- so, you see no window application open when you run it
*"MX Fix GPG keys" runs the command "xfce4-terminal -e pkexec checkaptgpg --wait-at-end", that reports that "checkaptgpg" is an unknown option- this happens because the first exec line of this .desktop file has this command (although commentend out)- Dev team, please remove the commented Exec line from /usr/share/applications/mx-checkaptgpg.desktop, to fix this problem
*It's supposed to come up twice, because there are 2 .desktop files to fix GPG keys- one is the regular one, the other is for KDE...
*The "nvidia driver installer"- runs su-to-root -c "/usr/local/bin/ddm-mx -i nvidia"- Since this command does not include "xfce4-terminal", this may be the reason why it fails to launch from the menu, I'm not sure on that one...
*App Finder is duplicated- I'm not sure why, I'll try to check it out and get back to you...
