As a fan of the LXDE Desktop I'm very pleased to see this announcement. Downloading - albeit very sloooooowwwwwllllyyyy..... looking forward to giving it a whirl. I find that it helps to use xfwm4 instead of openbox for window management these days due to the issues with gtk2 support as we move towards Bookworm.

Hi, Great work!

I had been doing an LXDE build for a while but put it aside decided to work with Enlightenment instead, good to see another LXDE spin out there, I'm sure people will appreciate it, kudos to you!

Thank you, bin and AVLinux

I am sorry, but there is a bug for the released re-spin.
Each MX Tool should start from commandline, as it might NOT start up from Main Menu.
In order to know the right command of an MX application, right-click the menu > Edit Launcher > Command.

And also please be noted that audio is muted by default (though this is not a bug).

Best regards.

LXDE installs beautifully from the MX Package Installer with lovely and very usable defaults. Why would a respin be needed?

It is because I would like to provide an out-of-the-box Linux distribution for non-English users. So I added many language supports in my respins other than English.

For example, there are many websites that introduce Ubuntu Japanese remix. The reason is simple: it is important for non-English people whether he or she could use a Linux distribution in its native language or not. So there still many websites that tell how to set up Japanese environment on MX.

To figueroa,
You gave me a good suggestion to fix the bug I mentioned. I tested as you said by MXPI and compared with my respin.
Then it was made clear that the missing of LXDE PolicyKit was the cause. It will fix the bug.
Thank you.

The LXDE Desktop version has been updated to fix the previous bug.
It is now available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mx-res ... -20230205/

Best regards.

For your information,

Screen Lock is NOT supported by default on LXDE Desktop.
In order to use screen-lock function, you need to install lxlock package as follows: But please be noted that power management tool like xfce4-power-manager sometimes conflicts with lxlock. If the conflict occured, screen-lock might not be enabled.
In that case, a workaround is to remove xfce4-power-manager.

Best regards.

P.S.
To disable touchpad from command line, execute: To enable touchpad from command line, execute: Or you can also use GUI applet "TouchPad Indicator" as follows:

Congratulations on Respin MX LXDE, it will be very useful for old computers/notebooks.
