Well done Jerry; this has been a lot of work for you.

Are you going to post in FB now?

Hi:
I don't know if this thread is the right one to ask as I have the final version "MXFBPi_21.02.20.img.xz" but the thread for that final version is locked viewtopic.php?f=127&t=63264.
In the final version I have problems changing the language to Spanish, if I do it from "Rpi Config" it tells me that everything is changed but most of the things do not appear in Spanish.
I have also tried to change the language from "MX-System Locales" and it gives similar errors...
From console, MX-update or System Locales I get these errors:

WHEN I HIT UPDATE FROM THE MX-UPDATE ICON:

OK, I unlocked the Final thread and moved your post. Will now take a look and get back to you.

Posted: **Sun Mar 07, 2021 1:22 pm**

OK, now back. I will need to look carefully at this because 1) this is not an area where I am particularly knowledgeable, and 2) the RPi project is brand new, and development so far has been directed simply toward making sure things worked. The only localization problem I knew about was the rootMenu (right-click on the Desktop) because we changed some of the menu entries so temporarily commented out the localization function for that.

Normally you can reset defaults by running this, but maybe that doesn't work on RPi.

Code: Select all

 dpkg-reconfigure locales

A few details about what you are seeing would be helpful:

--did you log out and back in? Reboot?
--what is showing in Spanish?
--are the MX Tools in Spanish?
--what apps are not showing in Spanish?

Thanks.

A few details about what you are seeing would be helpful:
--did you log out and back in? Reboot?

Yes.

--what is showing in Spanish?
--are the MX Tools in Spanish?
--what apps are not showing in Spanish?

I detail the errors I have seen:
Every time you run a terminal or a program calls a terminal it shows this error in the terminal (bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (es_ES.UTF-8)

In the start menu "Application Finder" all the names of the entries are in English, but the programs are in Spanish (Bluetooth Devices, FeatherPad, iDevice-Mounter, Gpdfview, Qt Settings, Window Effects), the rest of the ones that appear in that menu are in English.

In the right-click menu on the desktop also all entries are in English.
Right click->All Apps, it doesn't work, it doesn't run anything.
Right click->Appearance->Dock "Dockmaker" in Spanish, the rest in English.
Right click->Settings-> Piconfig, Grsync, About, they come out in English, and the rest of the entries as well.
In MX-tool, the programs (Job Scheduler, Add Remove Software), come out in English the name and when executed.
The rest of the MX-Tool programs show the name in Spanish and the program is executed in Spanish.
In MX-tool, Brill Systray, MX-tweak do not open well and give this error when trying to run, (version:/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (es_ES.UTF-8) 21.02.02).
In "Quick System Information" the name comes out in Spanish but when executing it an error comes out when calling the console, similar to the ones I put in the previous post...

I tested this before applying the command "dpkg-reconfigure".

Code: Select all
 dpkg-reconfigure locales

Once the command is executed, most of the programs come out in Spanish or almost all in Spanish, depending on the state of the translation, but it happened that when I tried "System Locales" of MX-Tool, the configuration that I had achieved with "dpkg-reconfigure locales" has been deleted and the errors that I detailed above come out again... if I run the command "dpkg-reconfigure locales" again, all the Spanish language is unchecked.

So far what I have tried, I hope it helps.

Thanks very much. I saw that same LC_ALL error, I suspect there is something not working on the RPi with the MX Tool "System locales."

Eventually trashed the image and re-started with the backup.

Try this:
Open terminal as normal user.

First fix default locale settings:

Code: Select all

echo LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 | sudo tee /etc/default/locale

Next, let's keep only one locale for Spanish with /etc/locale.gen

Code: Select all

echo es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8 | sudo tee /etc/locale.gen

Now do unset those:

Code: Select all

unset LC_ALL
unset LANGUAGE

Generate/compile locale archive for Spanish only:

Code: Select all

LANG=C sudo  locale-gen

You would see something like:

Code: Select all

Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  es_ES.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.

Finally (re-) install the missing module Gtk3.pm

Code: Select all

LANG=C sudo apt install --reinstall libgtk3-perl

That's it, now you can reboot.

Posted: **Sun Mar 07, 2021 6:02 pm**

That's great fehlix! But what a mess...

Posted: **Sun Mar 07, 2021 6:08 pm**

is libgtk3-perl package missing on final?

Try this:
Open terminal as normal user.

Thanks, after executing the commands, it seems to be fixed.

The error that came out when running "System locals" has been fixed, now it works correctly, although only "es_ES.UTF-8" is installed, but even though it said to check only that one.... after rebooting I tried to add from "System locales" the other 2 locales that I always use "es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8" and "es_ES@euro ISO-8859-15", after rebooting it seems that everything is still working fine

The console error has been fixed.
MX-Tweak now works correctly.
Systray Brightness still has a problem, it stays almost off the screen and doesn't look good but I attach screenshot.

The rest seems to work fine.

Hi:
I don't remember if this was already fixed, but I have created a new user and in the new user the menu "right click on desktop" now comes out translated to Spanish, the only thing is that in "menu-mx_es" is unchanged firefox and thunderbird, but that is easy to change.
Now it works perfect, thanks for your great work.

A couple of very favourable reviews of one of your earlier betas of this OS were posted by the Youtube channel "LeePSPvideo":
- "MX Linux Raspberry Pi 4 / 400 How to install, Overclock and add some essentials": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elnn3joIxWI
- "MX Linux Raspberry Pi 4 / 400. One of my Favourite Pi Operating systems.": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Me1dz86qLI

You might want to consider reaching out to that content creator somehow, as he could potentially be a great ally to you!

Posted: **Tue Mar 09, 2021 12:11 pm**

I already responded to this complaint that you put on the Blog post, but I'll repeat it here.

Patching is not necessary, it's only for people who already downloaded the B2: as indicated by the label "B2-Final" and stated explicitly in the file "How to use the patch." They can download the "Final" image instead, which is as Final as it's going to get for a while.

I have seen those video reviews and we have already been in touch now a couple of weeks ago, but thanks.

Hi:
I have MX-Fluxbox on the raspberrypi 3B, I have installed Kodi 18.7, but to make Kodi run smoother from "raspi-config" it is set to boot on my user in "console mode".
Before I had Raspbian configured like this, and from the console mode I would run "Kodi" or "startx" to start in PC mode...
That doesn't work for me in MX-fluxbox. What would be the command to start Fluxbox from console mode?

Best regards from Senpai

Hi:
Thanks for the idea, I found the rest of the solution here, https://wiki.debian.org/es/FluxBox#Sesi.2BAPM-n_Fluxbox
I was missing to create the ".xinitrc" file in the home directory,

Code: Select all

nano .xinitrc

and insert the following line to it:

Code: Select all

exec startfluxbox

, after that with "startx" starts the Fluxbox session without problems.

How can I install XFCE and make it look like the install on my laptop?

There is no way of doing this easily from MXFB Raspberry Pi.

There are other distribution available that have an Xfce version for the Raspberry Pi.

I finally got my hands on Raspberrypi 4 and installed MX par advice given by Jerry back in January.

I had to settle for 4GB version as the 8GB version was out of stock

But even with 4GB, MX runs impressively fast and whole installation procedure went very sooth.

I also noticed Pi generates less heat than the official 32bit PasPiOS which I tested before installing MX.

Thanks again for the great work!

I noticed the heat reduction also.

The Pi 4 needs some cooling help if you ever over-clock it, or build it into a case. There are good passive cooling solutions; you don't need a fan.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for confirming my observation :)

I am using this Pi as a local WordPress server.
I installed a fan SHIM from Pimeroni which is set to kick in at 65 C.
But Pi's temperature never exceeds 60 C.
Well, so much for my temperature controlling Python script...

I have a short list of minor changes (e.g., adding Imager to the dock with the other 3 RP apps, changing the "Wallpapers" part of the rootMenu), but the big one is of course moving to Bullseye and with it the kind of changes we are looking at already.

Congrat for this accomplishment!
There's no question that it is the best Raspberry Pi OS (with desktop) I've ever tried.

I finally moved my MXFB installation from a microSD to a USB 3.0 memory.
It seems a right thing to do since the whole thing is running faster now!
I also tried USB connected SSD, but it draws too much current and got unstable.

I think USB memory is a good compromise.

I run with an SSD, and in one case with a HD spinner, with zero problems; the key thing is to use genuine Raspberry Pi PSUs. I know it's additional expense, but they are set up to provide their full rating at 5.1v.

Thanks for this tip!
I switched to the official RasPi power supply and tested SSD one more time.
It seems quite stable this time.
And of course it is very fast!

This article might give you some idea.
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspb ... 39811.html

The article says: "Adding a powerful, external SSD to your Raspberry Pi 4 B can boost performance in certain areas, most notably application load times and web / file serving. But, according to our tests, there are also a lot of scenarios, like streaming video, surfing the web or transcoding media, where having an SSD doesn’t help."

Since I am using this Pi4 as a local WordPress server, I get a full benefit of SSD

I noticed connecting SSD is interfering with wireless keyboard/mouse connection.
It is also mentioned here:
https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/boo ... y-pi-4-usb
(the last paragraph)

The author speculated a power problem but I think it is more to do with actual signal interference.
My solution was using USB 3.0 hub for the SSD and keep it as far as possible from USB ports where I connect dongle for keyboard/mouse.
Worked like a charm :).

My main motivation was reliability. A couple of my machines are on 24/7, and even good quality microSD cards eventually corrupt. There is a performance increase, but it's not night and day.

I have an NVMe drive in a USB 3 enclosure that i have tried with the Pi. It's not significantly faster that an SSD due to the USB bottleneck. It does use slightly less power, but the real benefit if you are doing a lot of testing is that you can write an image to it from a PC in less than one minute.

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 2:02 pm**

I am still in disbelief about this miracle! Sorry I am chiming in very late lol! So MX LINUX now exists as a Raspberry Pi installation image?? Is this what I am reading here? So is this image a full MX Linux distro like the Intel/AMD version but for the ARM CPU/Raspberry Pi boards??.. Oh so many questions, so little time lol!

So what is the BEST Raspberry Pi board I need to buy that will still be economical, hence the Raspberry Pi's primary existence being it was economical both in cost and power usage?

After DD imaging the MX LINUX ARM version to an SD card or other drive for the Raspberry pi, would I be able to remove packages I do not need, install ones I do want and need and then reimage a new image based on my installation at that time, to then reinstall on my pi or other pi machines at will?(MX-SNAPSHOT??). Or is that still only relegated to the PC platform for now?

These are the most important questions I can think of at the moment that beg an answer. I really do not want to use vanilla Debian Raspian or some other OS on a Pi board when I can finally use the only OS I really love.. soooo.. Any help please?

You will have to decide for yourself what the BEST board is, but the RPi 400 is very convenient, cool and fast. I also use the RPi 4B with 8GB for projects.

You can't use Snapshot, but you can save your changes as an image using RPi SD Card Copier. There are other ways to do it as well.

Thankyou Jerry3904! I just finished extracting the image on my PC and shows it is 6.2GB. So I have the sd card handy and will DD the image to it. I was wanting to buy a pi for mp3 and video files, jpeg files and text files. Basically a media player. I will read the blogs now. Thanks again!!

Which Pi to get depends on what you are wanting to do with it. For example, if you want a media machine running Kodi that is going to be on 24/7, next to your TV, I would actually advise a Pi 3. The Pi 4 really needs active cooling in the form of a fan when used in a case, making it noisy. The Pi 3 will run MX Fluxbox, but it is pretty slow.

If you want a machine to explore the various hardware add-ons available, a Pi 4 may be the best bet as it's GPIO pins are more readily accessible, and the add-ons will fit properly. It's the cheapest option if you already have a USB keyboard.

If your main interest as as a desktop replacement, it is likely the Pi 400 will be the best bet, especially if you don't have a spare keyboard around. Although using the same chip, the 400 is slightly over-clocked by default as it has a huge internal aluminium heat-sink inside; it makes it a bit faster then the Pi 4 out of the box.

Whichever you choose, I advise using a genuine PSU; the Pi 4 and Pi 400 need more power than the average USB charger can produce, and more importantly they have the voltage regulator set at 5.1 volts, reducing problems when sudden high current is needed.

the only probably with the pi400 is that it does not have a headphone/lineout jack. I really like the pi400 though, and I leave one on 24/7 as a build server.

Posted: **Wed Jun 30, 2021 4:59 pm**

@chrispop99 Thankyou for the more concise response! Thankyou ALL actually! My need is for Music and video playback device at FIRST. So a headphone line out audio port is a MUST. The next thing would be a VGA port for plugging any of my 100 LCD monitors I own. I only own ONE HDMI monitor and my son is using it for XBOX 1. Since the MXFBpi is only 32bit, it is pointless to buy an 8GB ram version pi module. The 4GB will have to do as the OS only finds 3.25GB of that anyway. So I would say the VLC and Audacious player option with the most stripped down version of X I can get away with and still have all the MX goodness and graphical interface functionality I need to use a file manager, VLC, volume mixer, and audacious. I would also want a picture viewer that I can set on slideshow while listening to music. Kodi tends to be a nice all in one solution but can be pretty heavy and WILL lock the system up after hours of use on low ram systems.

So a pi board with: Audio, VGA, ETHERNET, USB2 and SD card slot. 4GB ram minimum and graphics GPU that can play back at least 720p movie files(mp4), and mp3 at 192kbs at 16bit stereo.

Now special note* I have tons of intel based single board computer solutions and some are actually very good for my purposes but ever tried running a intel computer in a room with no air conditioning and it is 92 degree F in that room? And the thin client does NOT have a fan? Things get hot and hairy quicker rather than later.

Now since I am going to be new to pi world, and am only taking the plunge because my favorite OS is ported to it at last, I have a minimum goal and a ultimate goal.
The minimum goal is a media player that I can DIY and use what existing hardware I own(VGA lcd screens, touch screens, and my speakers).
The ultimate goal is a DIY small foot print cool running MIDI SYNTHESIZER/Midi sequencer module with a DIY LCD touch screen like what I seen for raspberry pis and tablets!

The heat has been the greatest distablizer to most of my solid state fanless computer projects and I can not run a Room AC in the music studio so it is HOT as hell. I need the electronics to run cool without any noise making fans.. Now in WINTER it is 50 degrees in the house so that is fine for electronics..(no heater no ac).

I know I have seen these tiny computers in factories and inside things that get hotter than 92 degrees F so these are my hardware specs and limitations. Software should now be just fine with MXFB pi!

Hi Oracle! Yes I saw that, I do have a HDMI to VGA cable. No biggie, the biggest issue is heat dissipation and stability in a closed case like the inside of a music keyboard or drum machine. While I see ALOT of cases and touchscreen cases for the pi, I am skeptical.. I did check prices for the 4B/8GB kit and it is more than buying a thin client. Sooo, I have options.

I did check prices for the 4B/8GB kit and it is more than buying a thin client. Sooo, I have options.

Just a word of caution.

While I have no experience with thin client, I have 2 Intel Compute Sticks.
I found it more tricky to install Linux on them due to the driver issue for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and graphics/sound output.
Also, if it were one of those SOCs with 32bit BIOS with 64bit CPU, the installation is even more complicated.
It requires modified installer. See, for example,
https://linuxiumcomau.blogspot.com/2017 ... ation.html

With Raspberry Pi, there is no incompatibility problem with Linux.

As for the heating issue for RasPi4, I use Fan SHIM from Pimoroni https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/san ... h-fan-shim
with a semi opened Pibow Coupé 4.
With a temperature controlling Python script (can be downloaded at Pimoroni site) it is quite efficient and quiet.

Posted: **Thu Jul 08, 2021 6:37 am**

I run the RPi 400 constantly and heat is never a problem with that huge sink in it.

Hi,

I install MXFB on my raspberry pi 4, 8gb. It works perfectly fine but I just don't get used to Fluxbox. So I installed XFCE and I keep everything as it is. However, I have some issue with the keyboard, it often miss capture the first typing. It seems not to respond correctly. I have the same issue when login, I need to wait quite a while before I can type the password because the keyboard not respond when I type.

Can I remove Fluxbox and Openbox? Because I am not using them right now. Thanks.

By the way, I like MX tools, especially the conky. Nice work.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2021 5:58 am**

Fluxbox can be removed in Package Installer.

Openbox has nothing to do with MXFB, but I imagine you can just uninstall the package in the usual way using the command line (sudo apt remove openbox) or Synaptic.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2021 10:11 am**

Thank you Jerry, I've cleaned them and everything is still working fine. I also discover the battery of the keyboard is low that's why I got no response. After changing a new battery, everything is fine now.

Glad that worked!

Off the wall question: I have a USB-only printer that works fine but I'm going to need to move it to a different location further away from my computer sometime in the next few months so I can move my computer table closer to the refrigerator where my cat Mr.Butch Sir (the boss of me) has his food and water bowls, as he's getting older and starting to have problems jumping and crossing the gap between the table and ref where the printer and its stand are. I hate to discard a perfectly working and reliable multifunction printer and buy a new wifi one so I was thinking of perhaps getting a Pi, installing MXFB Raspberry on it, and setting up a samba printer share using the Pi's wifi. The question is would you recommend a 1GB RAM Pi 3 for this or a Pi 4 with more RAM and CPU power?

The Pi 4 runs pretty hot, and if you intended to put it in a case would either need a fan, or one of the cases that is effectively a heat sink. The Pi 3 would do the job, but slowly. Everything such as networking comes through the USB bus, which is only USB 2 on the Pi 3, as opposed to USB 3 on the Pi 4. It's your decision of course, but in this situation I would use a Pi 4 in a 'heat-sink' case.

As an aside, if a wiring route was available, USB booster cables are available in lengths of up to 50 metres, and would be cheaper than the Pi.

Chris

Posted: **Mon Sep 27, 2021 5:29 am**

I tried using a 10 meter repeatered USB extension cable with my printer and the computer intermittently reported that the printer was offline. It may be just a cheap cable but I don't think USB extensions are reliable. Too much voltage drop and data signal attenuation when you get much beyond 2 or 3 meters. I haven't been able to find a stand-alone network print server and I don't have an extra computer that I could dedicate to that job.

I may just get a new wifi printer after all, and either hang onto my existing printer as a spare or rehome it. Ink cartridges for it are getting harder to find anyway. A Pi 4 complete kit with case, fan, etc. would cost about the same here as a new printer anyway. Pi 3 B+ kits are cheaper but often when I need to print a document I need it in a hurry and don't want to be waiting for a Pi 3 to process the print job.

Thanks for the info.

Posted: **Mon Oct 04, 2021 2:04 am**

I got a Pi 3 B+ complete starter kit with case. power supply, SD card and heatsinks last month and have been running a headless version of Pi OS on it, PiAware 6 made by FlightAware, that's set up to be a dedicated ADS-B flight tracking feeder. I got tired of having to configure everything from the command-line via SSH so I got another SD card and installed MXFB Pi then reinstalled the flight feeder stuff. I'm using RealVNC to access the Pi from my PC. It sure is nice to see my old friends Thunar, Catfish and Featherpad on the Pi. I really miss MX Package Installer though, not to mention MX Snapshot.

One thing I miss though is having a CPU temperature monitor on the panel like I do on my PC using the Xfce sensor plugin. I like to keep an eye on the processor temperature. Is there any similar thing for Pi OS or MX Fluxbox? I don't want the extra overhead of running gkrellm on the Pi just to monitor the CPU temperature, I want something light weight that always runs in the system tray or somewhere without my having to run an application.

Posted: **Mon Oct 04, 2021 4:37 am**

Actually, never mind. I just noticed that gkrellm's preinstalled in MXFB Pi and seems to be lighter-weight than the one in the regular MX repo. I'll just figure out how to auto-start that and use it.

BTW, does anyone know the safe temperature range of a Pi 3's CPU? I thought I read somewhere that it doesn't start throttling until 80C but I'm also thinking of the wee machine's lifespan before failure. Mine has heatsinks on the CPU, Ethernet controller (which I don't use, just wifi) and whatever the square black chip on the bottom is but I also live in the tropics with daily temperatures averaging in the high 20s Celcius and am wondering if I should invest in a different case with a fan. This is my first Pi so I have no prior experience with them, only with desktop and laptop PCs, so I don't know how hot they can safely run or how long they typically last.

Posted: **Mon Oct 04, 2021 6:03 am**

Just add it to the startup file (but I don't know offhand how to put it in the systray):

Code: Select all

# start gkrellm
gkrellm &

Posted: **Mon Oct 04, 2021 6:30 am**

I think I can just leave gkrellm running on the Pi. I just have to remember to relaunch it after I should ever have to reboot. Having it autorun isn't that big of a deal.

Posted: **Mon Oct 04, 2021 6:56 am**

If that line I wrote is in the startup file, you won't have to remember anything.

Thanks, I added it to startup and configured gkrellm to only show the CPU temp.

Another MXFB Pi question: I like it so much on my Pi that I'm considering installing Pi OS Desktop on my 32-bit Intel Atom netbook instead of MX Xfce with Fluxbox. Is there a package for installing the MX Fluxbox overlay like there was for the original MX Fluxbox before it started being bundled with MX Xfce? Or would I have to do my own respin by adding MX repos then installing MXFB and MX Tools goodies?

Posted: **Fri Oct 08, 2021 5:18 am**

This has to wait. I'm out of town, not in front of my mxpi install and have no time today between MX and work. But I'll be back...

Posted: **Fri Oct 08, 2021 5:45 am**

No rush. I rarely need to use the netbook anyway. It would just be something for me to play with.

Posted: **Fri Oct 08, 2021 6:44 am**

It’s the same package but a different test of defaults get used by the pi. The setup is done based on detection of architecture so we assume armhf is for the pi. The extra bits are stored in usr/share/mxflux if I remember correctly

But some of the new stuff on mx21 is not setup on the pi. Just so you are aware.

Yeah, I know. MXFB Pi is based on the latest stable PiOS (I thought it was based on MX-19 until I read the beta's wiki page and installed and explored it) which (PiOS) is still Buster-based. PiOS hasn't released a Bullseye version yet AFAIK.

Posted: **Thu Oct 21, 2021 4:46 pm**

I have been running this awesome ReSpin since about April 2021. Rock solid.

I use a beefy power supply and monitor the voltages with an Adafruit INA219 addon. Other GPIO stuff works great too.

Just got around to running apt update/upgrade and nothing broke.

But I did notice the kern.log file has a strange message at about the 29 seconds mark of the boot process, (see below)

Also, I still cannot manage to get RealVNC to connect at high resolution unless I have a physical HDMii Monitor attached.

I followed the troubleshooting at https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/fix ... pberry-pi
but still no luck.

Since the broken atomic modeset userspace detected appears to be coming from the modesetting driver, and you are not using an attached monitor, you could try booting with the nomodeset boot code.

Mind, I haven't tried this myself so I don't know if it will work but I'd think it worth a try.

I was having some delay in date and time sync, when I start it, the date time on the panel shows 14 Feb 2019 and it took sometime to get the correct date and time.

I found the fix via this article: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... debian-10

For those who are facing same problem here is the fix, it works for me:

sudo apt purge ntp
sudo systemctl start systemd-timesyncd

You can check the status by running:

sudo systemctl status systemd-timesyncd

and also check the result of the command: timedatectl, you should get something like below:

Now this is the kind of feedback I like to see, instead of the usual whines, curses, etc.

J'en ai 76 je fais joujou avec Linux depuis plus de 20 ans.
J'ai des PC "Classiques" et de plus en plus de Raspberry pour diverses activités. (NAS, Centre Multimédia, Messagerie, services Cloud.
Depuis la sortie du PI4 j'envisage de plus en plus de remplacer mes Intel par de l'Arm.

Votre distribution est la première qui me permette d'avoir le même environnement sur toutes mes machines. Bravo

I'm 76 years old* I have been playing with Linux for over 20 years.
I have "Classic" PCs and more and more Raspberry for various activities. (NAS, Multimedia Center, Messaging, Cloud services.
Since the release of the PI4, I'm thinking more and more of replacing my Intel with Arm.

Your distribution is the first one that allows me to have the same environment on all my machines. Bravo

*Weird: I corrected DeepL's translation: "I have 76." It's such a common usage that I surprised to see the mistake.

Do you mean if you unplug the mouse that it boots to the desktop? If yes, did you try moving the mouse to the other port (I use the USB 2.0 with black interior)?

My over priced 512MB ram, single core model what ever Pi boots MXFB OK (80 bucks). But runs like paint drying .
Just hardware limitations I guess.

No MXFB PI for me.
