startupsound-mx is broken [Solved]

[takobaba]

on my mx-linux 23.5,
Linux mx 6.12.12-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.12-1~mx23ahs (2025-02-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux

`/usr/bin/startupsound-mx`
had issues running,

/usr/bin/startupsound-mx: line 57: [: missing `]'

when I checked the script using vim, I realized the 'elapsed` was called wrong, it was missing the dollar sign($) and the square bracket ending was missing.
Here is the code after the change

Code: Select all

sudo vim /usr/bin/startupsound-mx

Code: Select all

if [ "$elapsed" -ge "$max_duration" ]; then

After making this change, I saved using `wq!` and rebooted. The sound was working again.

Is this an issue specific to me, maybe this helps someone else too!

ah thanks, will change it :)

Thanks. Is there anyway, I could push a change to codebase, like github or anywhere? I just didn't know so I posted here!

I believe it just got fixed, reload on the updates.

[takobaba]

I just seen there was an update but I think the `]` square bracket still missing? the dollar sign for elapsed seems to be fixed now tho!

That is amazing, thank you very much!! I would love to become a contributor, if there is a way for public contribution?

If you mean code contributions, then yeah, all of our stuff up on our MX Linux git hub. Best way is to clone into your own git repo and do pull requests. we definitely take them!
