Thanks!

Is this thread intended for reporting installs only, or can we report as live medium without installation?

I booted up the MX-25_fluxbox_sysvinit_beta1_x64 ISO and it also doesn't have the installer icon on the desktop.
In fact, none of the icons are showing up on the desktop that are in the desktop folder.

MX Linux 25 KDE beta 1 (QSI in post #2)

Dolphin can not connect to other Shared Folder (SMB) hosts. Prompts for ID & PW but is rejected. Connections TO MX25 from a MX 23 host work fine.

KDE firewall app has a 'legacy' pre-configured rule for Samba; no TCP 445 and older (obsolete UDP ports). No way to delete rules. previous KDE version did not have these issues.

Installed in a Optiplex 745 with a C2D e6600 and Nvidia GT610, default drivers, tried to install from the menu the nvidia ones, didn't found the legacy 390 available. but the Nvidia card functions out of the box.
Youtube works without going to constant 100%; without the card, it goes like that until I close the window. The menus, updates works.
I'll try to post the output of the nvidia card.
I'm gonna test with other machines:

Dell latitude 5400 8th gen latop.
Dell optiplex but the 780.
AMD FX6350 some nvidia card
An atom 64bits mini HP
Dell 7040 SFF version
and also my gaming machine x5900 with 6700xt lots of nvme and ssd's ( I believe that one would backup first to a server my whole thing and wait for the final version to put btrfs on all of them.

So far so good!

MX 25 Xfce SysV

MX Tour opening screen is MX 23 desktop image. Last screen of the tour (Getting Help) the 'Next' button is illuminate pale blue vs what should be 'X Close' button.

MX Tweak Theme tab has a 'Dark Mode' checkbox. Checking it does nothing. My expectation was the 'Apply' button would un-grey when checked?

Note about trying this machine with xfce-ahs beta
have the fun of saying,
it froze from overheating.
or something.

The blog lists "Major Desktop versions
Xfce 4.20
Fluxbox 1.3.7
KDE/plasma 6.3.6"

What is hiding behind 1.3.7?
Anxious to start a fluxbox beta to verify that fluxbox is 1.3.7+MX25
and not the debian 1.3.7-1.
Boasting about the MX fluxbox version
promoting it a bit emphasize elevated special fluxbox MX
is a good thing.

XFCE regular, live booted fine. On nvidia here the second screen gets compressed, red bar on the left, right side lacking screen, obviously needs the nvidia driver. Previous versions had half of this black bar on the right, so nouveau is doing worse. Nothing you guys can fix, just stating something I see.

Image


Personal preference is definitely not the dark theme, nomacs file edit etc buttons and nomacs in general looks like.. hmm.. old Apple computer program or something (90s), but looks can be changed.


Firefox needs to go into the favorites to be able to quickly find and reach the forum.

Standard XFCE (not AHS and not the SysV init) iso:
Installed swiftly and effortlessly on my UEFI Secure boot Hewlett Packard laptop.
Regular install using whole NVMe drive, no encryption nor hibernate (my choice).
Working fine so far, good work Devs, thank you.
I love the wallpaper selection too, but my only question is why the background chooser defaults to the XFCE backgrounds directory?

Xfce regular
Installation failed on the existing MX23.6 partition.
I don't have the installation logs.
The installer wasn't able to configure the efi-boot.
My PC:

Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i3-6100 CPU @ 3.70GHz
Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.3 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 530
Manufacturer: FUJITSU
Product Name: ESPRIMO P757

I'll wait for the final release.

Try upgrading before installing. I had the same failure with the Installer
Failed to prepare required partition
before I remembered to upgrade.

Do share your QSI from the computer you want to install on. IF it is this one, then this one.

Better to help troubleshoot.

Hmm....would be nice to be able to copy/paste from the live log (minor).

Code: Select all

umount -q /dev/nvme0n1p8
...
Formatting: /
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/nvme0n1p8 -L alt-g7-mx25
FAILED Phase 2 - Failed to format partition.
Failed to copy the installation log to the target
...
Going to boot back into mx23 on the other partition, and make sure all is ok.

Edit: further notes. The /dev/nvme0n1p8 partition currently has mx23 installed on it. I am able to mount it, no idea why formatting would fail.

To add.. when Europe Amsterdam is selected, the AM PM thing needs to be 24hr time. Both in conky and on the system.

Just booted into it again on a faster USB drive and saw that.

On nvidia here the second screen gets compressed, red bar on the left, right side lacking screen, obviously needs the nvidia driver. Previous versions had half of this black bar on the right, so nouveau is doing worse. Nothing you guys can fix, just stating something I see.

Personal preference is definitely not the dark theme, nomacs file edit etc buttons and nomacs in general looks like.. hmm.. old Apple computer program or something (90s), but looks can be changed.


Firefox needs to go into the favorites to be able to quickly find and reach the forum.

Simple fix for the missing Installer icon on the desktop for both fluxbox ISO's.

The gazelle.lnk file (~/.idesktop) has the icon path pointing to a location not there.

Code: Select all

table Icon
  Caption: Install MX
  Icon: /usr/local/share/icons/black-eclipse-no-border.png
  X: 300
  Y: 200
  Command[0]: ideskrun minstall-launcher
  Command[1]: mx-idesktool gazelle.lnk
  Command[2]: mx-manual
end

If I edit the file and point it to /usr/share/icons and refresh the desktop, the installer icon shows up.

Thanks. It was late last night when I grabbed them and didn't read through the whole blog.
No biggie, I just wanted to replace the Deb13 partitions with the beta's before going to bed.

12h/24h display is based on locale "language" settings -not on timezone. If a user wants to have en_US language but the time display in 24h,
change of a locale category for Date&Time which displays in English date strings for month/weekday but uses 24h clock.
The only LC (locale categories) I know which offers this is English for Ireland.
Open MX Locale and under 2nd tab select for Date&Time en_IE.UTF-8 for English in Ireland locale.
After logout/login, conky and I guess most other date&time related displays would change to 24h in English.

I don't have the installation logs.
The installer wasn't able to configure the efi-boot.
My PC:

I'll wait for the final release.
Do share your QSI from the computer you want to install on. IF it is this one, then this one.

Better to help troubleshoot.
Here is the QSI from the MX23.6 partition.

Edit: I prepared a new partition on my PC, formatted with ext4
The installation of MX25-beta-xfce was successfull.

I have no idea, why the replacing of the existing MX23.6-xfce partition failed.
The problem is solved.
I don't intend to try the replacement of the existing partition. Will use that partition after the final release of MX25 for some other Distro.

Thanks!

Is this thread intended for reporting installs only, or can we report as live medium without installation?
live is fine, good even.

the desktop app defaults to the directory the current image is located. unfortunately Xfce has hard-coded that file. we've pulled some tricks to get our default wallpaper shown.

**edit** maybe got an idea for that... thanks!

Hi everyone,
little but important problem here tested with:
MX-25_Xfce_beta1_x64.iso
MX-25_Xfce_sysvinit_beta1_x64.iso.


Seems to be a Mac specific problem:

live usb stops with a blank screen and a fixed cursor (no "welcome to grub", and no grub).


-tested with 3 imac and a macbook (2009-2011)

-the same usb boots without problems on an old little atom

-mx-23.5 (on the same usb) grub works well.

I'm too user to guess but I suspect something with the theme of grub.
I had a problem on the same imacs that under previous ubuntu can display grub only if "console" attribute given to grub.
Same imacs have no problem to display mx-23.5 grub and related theme.


I can only attach QSI produced with mx-23, i limit it to 2 imacs:

2009 imac:

Hi!

The MX-25 "Infinity" beta 1 is taking a very long time to download from the official website. The browser says it will download in 11 hours. Please fix it.

Thanks!

The ISOs are hosted on SourceForge, and download speeds are completely out of our control.

Usually an alternative server is offered. Have you tried that?

little but important problem here tested with:
MX-25_Xfce_beta1_x64.iso
MX-25_Xfce_sysvinit_beta1_x64.iso.


Seems to be a Mac specific problem:

live usb stops with a blank screen and a fixed cursor (no "welcome to grub", and no grub).


-tested with 3 imac and a macbook (2009-2011)

-the same usb boots without problems on an old little atom

-mx-23.5 (on the same usb) grub works well.

I'm too user to guess but I suspect something with the theme of grub.
I had a problem on the same imacs that under previous ubuntu can display grub only if "console" attribute given to grub.
Same imacs have no problem to display mx-23.5 grub and related theme.


I can only attach QSI produced with mx-23, i limit it to 2 imacs:

Hope this info helps
thank you for the output. do you know if those imacs are 32 bit UEFI? we did rebuild the 32 bit UEFI stuff in live, and it could be missing some modules or something for macs.

from your mx23 stick

Code: Select all

cat /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size
would tell us.

thanks!

Neither XFCE nor KDE Plasma booted from the USB stick on older Lenovo PC as eg X1 Carbon (some kind of QSI below).
Similar on othe Lenovos of about that generation.
I have tested 4-5 different USB sticks, tested create the sticks in some different ways - same result: it looks like the PC is connecting to the USB (some USB have indicators) but nothing on the display.
Other OS works fine, as MX 23.6, latest Manjaro.

The very same USB sticks works fine with newer PC (like the Lenovo Slim Yoga).

oh, yes, the QSI: I use similar command on the installed OS:

We've not been seeing problems on X1 or other earlier Lenovo boxes much afaik. Did you go into the bios and turn off secure boot?

The MX-25 "Infinity" beta 1 is taking a very long time to download from the official website. The browser says it will download in 11 hours. Please fix it.

Thanks!
The ISOs are hosted on SourceForge, and download speeds are completely out of our control.

Usually an alternative server is offered. Have you tried that?

Chris

Hello,

KDE -- first, at the login screen it takes a very long time to recognize my mouse (usb dongle) and keyboard (wired) -- I just have to sit there and wait until I can type something.

Second, I thought I would install the liquorix kernel from the package installer since KDE I believe is ahs, there were errors returned and now when I install anything, I get the following:

I have installed the XFCE AHS SysV Init version on my Acer Aspire V5 which dates from 2012. I figured that my oldest machine would be a better test of the beta than my more modern laptops. Despite its 1366 x 768 resolution, the print on the forum was was tiny and I had to increase the font dpi by 12 points to make it legible. I used MXPI to install Chrome and it went without a hitch. The Chrome installation was also much quicker than it was on my Ryzen equipped Hp 17 two days ago.

Indeed I did. I did state that eg MX 23.6 worked fine on X1, but not the MX 25 XFCE and KDE Plasma betas.
BTW, I just installed MX 23.6 Plasma on that X1 without any problem.

Enjoy!

Thanks!

Is this thread intended for reporting installs only, or can we report as live medium without installation?
live is fine, good even.
Thanks - so far, no issues with live, but I will check in later after doing my usual thing with live (persistence, file creation, suppression of Conky, alternate web browser, etc.)

If I don't report back, live is good for me at least...

KDE - at first sight seems to be ok, but crashes at reboot after installing nvidia driver.
Screens show underline (cursor) before starting login screen.
So - I'm sorry, but no qsi (tested on my workstation)

ah - and on clicking about on system settings settings crashes.
... and grub has no rescue options :(

Just fired it up(XFCE) in a vm (I'll be staying on MX23 for now) seems to work well.
Is it possible to turn this vm into an ISO for installation at a later date?

little but important problem here tested with:
MX-25_Xfce_beta1_x64.iso
MX-25_Xfce_sysvinit_beta1_x64.iso.


Seems to be a Mac specific problem:

live usb stops with a blank screen and a fixed cursor (no "welcome to grub", and no grub).


-tested with 3 imac and a macbook (2009-2011)

-the same usb boots without problems on an old little atom

-mx-23.5 (on the same usb) grub works well.

I'm too user to guess but I suspect something with the theme of grub.
I had a problem on the same imacs that under previous ubuntu can display grub only if "console" attribute given to grub.
Same imacs have no problem to display mx-23.5 grub and related theme.


I can only attach QSI produced with mx-23, i limit it to 2 imacs:

Hope this info helps
thank you for the output. do you know if those imacs are 32 bit UEFI? we did rebuild the 32 bit UEFI stuff in live, and it could be missing some modules or something for macs.

from your mx23 stick

Code: Select all

cat /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size
would tell us.

thanks!
Same result for 2009 and 2011 imac:

Code: Select all

$ cat /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size
64
I forgot mention that also an attempt with debian trixie give same problem.

(thank you for giving us mx linux)

KDE -- first, at the login screen it takes a very long time to recognize my mouse (usb dongle) and keyboard (wired) -- I just have to sit there and wait until I can type something.

Second, I thought I would install the liquorix kernel from the package installer since KDE I believe is ahs, there were errors returned and now when I install anything, I get the following:

I think the 6.15 kernel is probably installed okay, it was when I checked in a vm, though I had the same dkms "noise" while installing it.
You can check with

Code: Select all

dpkg --audit
if it doesn't return anything, things are probably fine.
edit: took another look at the the log, you might need to run update-grub

If your system doesn't have a wifi device that uses one of the dkms drivers, using mx-cleanup before installing the kernel should stop the dkms error messages.

little but important problem here tested with:
MX-25_Xfce_beta1_x64.iso
MX-25_Xfce_sysvinit_beta1_x64.iso.


Seems to be a Mac specific problem:

live usb stops with a blank screen and a fixed cursor (no "welcome to grub", and no grub).


-tested with 3 imac and a macbook (2009-2011)

-the same usb boots without problems on an old little atom

-mx-23.5 (on the same usb) grub works well.

I'm too user to guess but I suspect something with the theme of grub.
I had a problem on the same imacs that under previous ubuntu can display grub only if "console" attribute given to grub.
Same imacs have no problem to display mx-23.5 grub and related theme.


I can only attach QSI produced with mx-23, i limit it to 2 imacs:

Hope this info helps
thank you for the output. do you know if those imacs are 32 bit UEFI? we did rebuild the 32 bit UEFI stuff in live, and it could be missing some modules or something for macs.

from your mx23 stick

Code: Select all

cat /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size
would tell us.

thanks!
Same result for 2009 and 2011 imac:

Code: Select all

$ cat /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size
64
I forgot mention that also an attempt with debian trixie give same problem.

(thank you for giving us mx linux)
thank you. Not sure what is going on there but thanks. at least its not the 32 bit efi stub.

I installed Xfce (non-ahs) in VirtualBox.
All windows had about 3 or so rows of different colored pixels around the outside of the windows within the shadow area. Default theme and several others were like this.

I thought maybe the shadow was broken because of VB graphics driver. I went to Xfce window manager tweaks compositor and disabled all shadows. Still happened. Went to Xfce Appearance and enabled Set matching Xfwm4 theme. The pixels disappeared and windows appeared normally.

This didn't happen when booting the ISO in real life.

Hi,
I was wrong - KDE crashed after login.
Cause wayland is default window manager.
I attach syslog from crash (rename *.txt to *.tar.xz - cause of file size).

Changing session to X11 works with this qsi:

Installation of nvidia driver resetted display options to default.
At live system I changed rotation and order of monitors. At installation I checked "take settings from live-system" and monitors where ok after reboot.
After nvidia driver installation I had to redo monitor setup

Plasma login screen seems not to be able to get rid of monitor setup, so I'll switch back to lightdm

This is a proven site, I have been using it for many years.
Checksum verification does only proof the offered ISO match the checksum, which you probably downloaded from the same site.
Always do a signature check, which is a fairly robust way to make sure the ISO was not adjusted by someone else.
Never trust something you have downloaded, b/c "it works" or it "always have worked" in the past, it does not guarantee you have downloaded something which was signed by the creator of the iso.

Yes, the tool still available in MX-25, is called "MX Snapshot", which creates an ISO of the running system, and doesn't matter, the system is running in a VM.

FYI there is a transparent line in the window manager theme that virtualbox graphics driver doesn't quite render correctly unless graphics acceleration is enabled.

I can figure out what some of the mirrors are, but can you actually choose a particular mirror (without resorting to a bunch of command line tricks)? It looked to me like it was randomly choosing a mirror for you, like it's trying to even out the load.

will add some verbage. it's a copy of Maturity.png, labeled default25.png because its technically customizable (the default25.png file, not Maturity.png). respiners can make a new default25.png file for making default wallpapers on their spins. its part of how we get around Xfce's hard-coded default background.

From a Live Boot BIOS menu - choose "Switch to Grub Bootloader" to see the "Boot Rescue Menus" choice (live only).

On UEFI it is the last entry in the initial menu.

The "F6 Failsafe" on the bottom menu has other boot modifiers: "Safe Video", "Failsafe", "load=all" and "modesetting" as choices.

Edit: added F6 info.

SourceForge download pages always give you an option to choose a different mirror if you prefer, but as I recall you go to the "Problems Downloading?" page to do this.

I think the 6.15 kernel is probably installed okay, it was when I checked in a vm, though I had the same dkms "noise" while installing it.
You can check with

Code: Select all

dpkg --audit
if it doesn't return anything, things are probably fine.
edit: took another look at the the log, you might need to run update-grub

If your system doesn't have a wifi device that uses one of the dkms drivers, using mx-cleanup before installing the kernel should stop the dkms error messages.
Many thanks, this seemed to get rid of the dpkg warning messages and the liquorix kernel seems to be working fine!

re-user wrote: Mon Sep 22, 2025 11:13 am I'm too user to guess but I suspect something with the theme of grub.
I had a problem on the same imacs that under previous ubuntu can display grub only if "console" attribute given to grub.
Some trouble shooting steps:
A) Maybe check whether it is is or not related to the new live-grub theme by switching the live-grub to terminal console only.
Add a line like this

Code: Select all

 terminal_output console
as last line to the live grub.cfg file at /boot/grub/grub.cfg an the live usb.
It would then show grub as black/with console alike liveGrub menu. And would give and indication about either graphic-module changes,
or if not loaded mayb something with the used efi.image/efi-partition on the liveUSB.

B) In case it does not help, can you try using rEFInd iso-image or USB-image, and boot with refind, maybe be from CD.
rEFInd would auto-search any ESP's and may find the plugged-in LiveUSB to select from and to boot into the LiveUSB GRUB menu, just in case that would change anything.

Still not, maybe this
C) Try this on another booting system with the identical booted MX-25-Xfce USB,
and create a grub-rescue iso. That's tinny ISO (~16Mb) , which contains just a full set of GRUB stuff with added AppleMac boot facility:
Open terminal as normal user and run:

Code: Select all

grub-mkrescue -o grub-rescue.iso
(EDIT; the command is "grub-mkrescue")
The generated iso is about 16Mb, burn it on a CD (or onto a USB), and would it boot to the GRUB-prompt?

If yes good, plugin the MX LiveUBS and try again to boot from the GRUB-rescue iso, you "power off" on the grub prompt with "halt".
You can now adjust some grub env vars "root" and "prefix", by checking you liveUSB paths, with

Code: Select all

ls (
press tab for a completion list, where you see hd0, hd1 etc
now try to find the LiveUSB, with

Code: Select all

ls (hd0
and press tab, On the Live USB you see the filesystem labels like "MX-Live-USB" or "MX-UEFI".
When you found the LiveUSB, set root and prefix.
Eg. assume Live USB is "hd0" and first partition is "MX-LIve-USB"
now set root like this:

Code: Select all

set root=(hd0,gpt1)
and prefix

Code: Select all

set prefix=($root)/boot/grub
In case you see msdos1 instead of gpt1, adjust accordingly : Note for EFI boot I do always recommend to use GPT instead of DOS partition table, even for LiveUSB.
now having set both root and prefix properly, check again with

Code: Select all

ls $prefix/
where it should list grub.cfg but also grubenv.cfg, which shows you are really on the liveUSB.
Now try to load "normal.mod" with

Code: Select all

insmod normal
next try to load the LiveGRUB menu with

Code: Select all

normal
Maybe that gives you the LiveUSB GRUB menu?

Re: Next button on MX Tour, yes I see this too:
On the first tab "Intro" there is a "Previous", and on the last tab "Getting Help" there is a "Next" button.
So I guess both non-functional buttons on the first and last tab could be "removed" - made none-visible.

Thanks!

Is this thread intended for reporting installs only, or can we report as live medium without installation?
live is fine, good even.
Thanks - so far, no issues with live, but I will check in later after doing my usual thing with live (persistence, file creation, suppression of Conky, alternate web browser, etc.)

If I don't report back, live is good for me at least...
MX25 live fluxbox Sysvinit - live mode only for testing.

Great job! Everything works, with one incredibly small "niggle". In the Package Installer, under the "Wallpapers", MX 14 is listed, along with all the other wallpapers; however, the MX 14 wallpapers are not "installable"- looks like they have been removed.

I'm running MX 23 installed on my hard drive, and I just checked - I was able to install the MX 14 wallpapers from MX 23. Bottom line - they seem to have "disappeared" from MX 25. Incredibly small issue, especially since everything else I tested works like a charm! Thanks again!

Great work, team!
Running the XFCE version off the USB stick and it is running smoothly like it always does.
So far I like the new theme (color when hovering over the buttons) and generally the new Matcha theme. However, I would like to see also a rounded window decoration, I think this is the only thing missing appearance-wise.
It would also be nice if the right-click menu could include the creation of new LibreOffice .odt documents etc. (I know the thing about the templates but it would be more convenient if it was already there).
As for the KDE version (on my desktop PC), beautiful and snappy. No observations there.
So far, that's it. Keep up the great work. ;)

The new mx-ease-Dark theme has bugs (or features?)

1. In thunar go to configure toolbar.
Enable the Icon View, List View, Compact View, View Switcher toolbar icons.
Then click, hover, focus, unfocus the window and toolbar icons mentioned previously. In some cases the toolbar button icons disappear or change color to the blue button background color making them invisible. It doesn't happen in the light theme.

2. In Window Manager Style tab the Button Layout icons are invisble and you can't click and drag them to change the title bar layout. Maybe it's not supposed to be changeable in this theme.

This may already be covered some place, but some installer issues on KDE.

1) I was not prompted to remove the Live USB after install, so it booted right back up into the LiveUSB

2) Even though I said to 'replace the installation' in the install.. it didnt wipe my previous account / data. I did use the same user name, but I used a different password. Upon logging in I found:
a) keychain of previous install was still there AND in affect! So I already had logins to machines in my network (ie it didnt remove them.)
b) Files and Folders from my previous install were still there.
c) My panel was still in the place I left it AND the size I left it in!!

Something off in Icons in KDE ... When I first went to MX Tweak, everything was highlighted *except" for the Icons. I wasnt sure which one I was set too, so I went out to System Settings and Appearances & Sytle, then Icons. Nothing was selected ??? I changed to Oxygen and then back to breeze ( which were the correct icons) and NOT Breeze is displayed both here and in mx tweak ??

'replace the installation' in the install.. it didnt wipe my previous account / data.
I think it's a misunderstanding, that's how it's supposed to work.

So, if I check Replace existing installation ... it KEEPS my existing install?

That is backwards to me.

KEEP my existing install - good
Migrate my existing install - good
Replace my existing install - To me means the install is about to replace what is there.. ie overwrite it.

That is confusing I think.

I made a MX-25 Xfce sysVinit installation on a test (blank) SSD with no other disks on the system, using FDE (Full Disk Encryption). I have a question about a message that appears with the passphrase prompt immediately below it. I have never seen this before. I ignored the message and entered the passphrase and was taken to the login window and then the Desktop without any problems. This message appears on every bootup when getting to the FDE passphrase prompt.

Does anyone have any insight on the relevance of this message?

Here is an image taken from my Mobile Phone. The quality is poor so I transcribed the text in the image so it can be easily read, as seen in the below code window.
MX-25_Xfce_sysvinit_FDE_PW_prompt_msg.jpg
The above image states:

EDIT 23 September 2025:
I found the answer to why the above mentioned warning message appears and is posted here for the benefit of future readers.

The answer was provided by https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic. ... 6#p2186153 "Errors during boot, still boots runs okay." (8 June 2022) from the Linux Mint forum which I paraphrase below:
The message is from superfluous errors. ACPI errors are due to BIOS developers not adhering to standards and only the BIOS writers can fix it.

If it really bugs you then edit your /etc/default/grub file and add loglevel=3 to the kernel parameters. In MX-25 that would be Line 9 and would then look like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash loglevel=3".

Now upgrade GRUB by running sudo update-grub > reboot.
After the above workaround only the prompt to provide the passphrase appears as it is supposed to be. Note that this is NOT a fix but only a workaround because it only suppresses the error/warning messages and does not fix the root cause. Using an older kernel would probably fix the issue but I never tested that.
End Edit

Edit: Removed the boot.log that was below my QSI since that is irrelevant to the issue and added the text between the "Edit" lines.

SourceForge download pages always give you an option to choose a different mirror if you prefer, but as I recall you go to the "Problems Downloading?" page to do this.
Yes, but there are two problems, both of which apply to me:
  • Their algorithm to choose a site assumes a faster link speed than I often have, and that impacts both the source it chooses as well as the 5-second time-out being reached before I have a chance to make use of the "Problems downloading?" button.
  • If you're easily distracted by pop-ups and flashing text/images and you don't know where to look, you might miss it in the 5-second window you have to click on the button. Here is where they put the button you must press:
    Image
There is another, more manual, way which bypasses all of that:
  1. Instead of clicking the link to the .iso file, right-click on it and copy the URL.
  2. Open a command line and paste the URL into the following, replacing "URL" with the URL you copied from the site:

    Code: Select all

    echo URL | awk -F/ '{print "https://sourceforge.net/settings/mirror_choices?projectname=" $5 "&filename=" $7 "/" $8 "/" $9}'
    
  3. Copy and paste the returned URL into your browser and you'll be given a choice of available download sites.
The above works with final and testing versions (until things change on the Sourceforge side).

I have found that choosing a site which is in the wee hours of the morning is usually fastest for me, even though it's half way across the world.

Desktop Xfce systemd
A minor bug happens, when the PC goes into "suspend" after some time.
My browser Brave-beta-stable freezes = I cannot click on tabs or on bookmarks, there is no reaction.
I have to close the browser and restart it, then everything works fine.

Another feature which doesn't work is the gui for packages in synaptic.
It doesn't show the active repos.
Maybe this is intended to avoid users to manually add repos ?
No big deal.
I tried to find the active repos and installed the gnome-software app with mx-package-installer.
That shows the active repos.

1) a problem with brave-beta browser belongs to the brave developers, I would think.
2) do you mean this: synaptic > settings > repositories

2) yes: synaptic > settings > repositories
I am german and there it is named "Paketquellen"

I have Spiral Linux installed and upgraded to trixie.
The developer mentions that trixie will not be able to edit the repositories :
After upgrading to Debian 13 ("Trixie")
⚠️ Important: The Software & Updates GUI has been removed from Debian 13 ("Trixie"), and the previously installed version fails to run. Please perform the following steps to restore GUI repository editing capabilities and enable necessary repositories for your upgraded Debian 13 installation:

Remove old packages: In Synaptic do a package search for software-properties and uninstall the three previously installed matching packages.
Now the Settings > Repositories GUI will work. Click the New button and add the necessary Debian 13 repositories as follows:

URI: https://security.debian.org/

Distribution: trixie-security

Section(s): main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

URI: https://deb.debian.org/debian/

Distribution: trixie-updates

Section(s): main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

URI: https://deb.debian.org/debian/

Distribution: trixie

Section(s): main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
In MX25-beta the "software-properties" are not installed, but nonetheless the repositories are not edible.
Thus I thought that this is intended.

Installed KDE version in VirtualBox over the existing MX23.6 KDE.
Fast & smooth, no problems there. Also kept my settings.

I noticed one thing: qml6-module-qtqml-xmllistmodel is not installed by default (but the qml5 version is). Some widgets failed to work without it (I found the weather widget)

I will post the QSI after I try the betas on my test machine(s)

So far I'm loving it, thank you!

For picom to work, you need to create a user configuration file
You can use the picom.sample.conf file (in /usr/share/doc/picom/examples) as template --> copy it to ~/.config directory and rename it to picom.conf .
Picom backend will default to xrender, but if needed it can be changed (in line 212) to 'glx' or xr_glx-hybrid'
Change all other settings to your hearts content.

I had a problem on the same imacs that under previous ubuntu can display grub only if "console" attribute given to grub.
Some trouble shooting steps:
A) Maybe check whether it is is or not related to the new live-grub theme by switching the live-grub to terminal console only.
Add a line like this

Code: Select all

 terminal_output console
as last line to the live grub.cfg file at /boot/grub/grub.cfg an the live usb.
It would then show grub as black/with console alike liveGrub menu. And would give and indication about either graphic-module changes,
or if not loaded mayb something with the used efi.image/efi-partition on the liveUSB.
Solution A works.
I'm writing from the live mx25beta1 on the 2009 imac and i believe other macs will not have problems, I'll test next days.

(I also make a gpt usb stick but it works only adding the line in grub.cfg)

I know you advise to install Beta ISO in either a live USB or virtually. I have been using MX-25 Xfce ahs BETA as a daily system from the first install. There are no problems, it is upgraded in both MX and Debian and daily I use the terminal to keep them current. See below my QSI.

@Jerry3904: one correction to my post: for picom v/12.0 the backend must explicitly be chosen (as declared in your error message too).
For MXFB25 (picom version 12.0) I would suggest to set it to the default value:

Code: Select all

backend = "xrender";

Quick question. On the beta release announcement blog post, it says, "At this time we intend the betas to update through final."

Does this mean that, unlike previous MX versions, you will now be able to install beta 1 and then update all the way to the full stable v1.0 release of MX25? (As soon as v1.0 comes out of course.)

Left window is correct state, Right window is incorrect state (looks too old style).
Incorrect style are MX-Tools Suite only.

@Freja I have noticed the same issue with the mx-ease themes, qt6 based apps do not display correctly.
Both Orchis and mx-ease use the pixmap engine, which comes in the package gtk2-engines-pixbuf.
For some reason this package is not installed in the MX-25 xfce beta (it is in the fluxbox beta).

Try installing gtk2-engines-pixbuf and qt6 apps (eg. MX tools, featherpad) should then display correctly.

Working fine so far, good work Devs, thank you.
I love the wallpaper selection too, but my only question is why the background chooser defaults to the XFCE backgrounds directory?
@Ghost67 I added symlinks to all the artwork wallpapers to the /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce folder, so at least the selection shows up for everyone. Thanks!

Thanks. I have discovered that in Trixie a separate package (picom.conf) contains that file picom.conf.example but it is still installed in the same location you give. @m_pav That needs to be added to the build list please.

I have now set this all up and will test--back in a minute.

Hmmm. Apparently do not have setup just right, since after rebooting nothing in Tweak > Compositor is active. I'll leave this alone and let people who actually know what they are doing take a look when possible.

@Jerry3904 there is a generic/basic picom.conf file stored in /usr/share/mx-tweak/ that is copied over if enabled from tweak, as well as a zpicom.desktop startup file copied to ~/.config/autostart. the desktop file has a startup line. I did not realize that the compositor tab was enabled on fluxbox. it has not in the past.

I have two minor points that I though I would address regarding the new MX-25 Xfce sysVinit.


1. The Thunar "File System" icon is barely visible when the Thunar left-pane is set to either 16px or 24px, using either the Tree or Shortcuts view.
  • Occurs using either the Tree or Shortcuts view
  • Larger icon sizes, e.g. >=32px, show a proper (darker) icon (only the 16px and 24px size has the problem)
  • Papirus is the system icon setting (the other Papirus icon settings for light themes do not have this problem)
  • The Greybird Application theme and Kokodi Window theme are used
  • This does not occur in MX-21 or MX-23
The below image shows a comparison of the "File System" directory in Thunar using the Tree view set to 24px (top Screenshot) and 32px (bottom Screenshot), as noted on the image.
MX-25_Thunar_24px_32px_comparison.png



2. Clicking the time ("Clock") in the Panel will launch the Orage calendar. My suggestion is to not stop there but add the option to toggle the Orage calendar open and close. That was how it worked by default in MX-19. (MX-25 retains the method MX-23 uses of only launching the Orage calendar when the time in the Panel is clicked.)

This is done by adding the -t option after the orage command as shown by the red arrow in the below Shapshot.

I have noticed two problems with MX 25 Beta KDE.
1- If the sound volume is changed then Dolphine opened the volume notification slider at the middle of the screen will keep showing up repeatedly. This problem also exists in Debian 13 and Kubuntu 25.04.
2- No power profile in battery system tray widget. I can't change between Power Save/Balanced/Performance.

I had this on MX 23.
It doesn't happen with the old Debian repo version of papirus-icon-theme that MX 23 ships with. It does happen with the debian-backports version or the latest version from GitHub.
Last year Papirus changed the color on some symbolic icon sizes and the color they used is the same as the thunar side pane backgound color used in some desktop themes.

Oh,, OK. Well once you get back to Tweak to enable that I'll test again. I guess @m_pav that I need to cancel my request to add picom.conf to the build, sorry about the confusion.

There is no package <software-properties-gtk> in debian-trixie repos.

Glad you mentioned it, because I clicked on repositories in the settings of synaptic.
Yes, the activated repos are not shown, but the "new"-button works.
A user can insert the correct data and click "ok", then he sees the repos and can edit them.

The simplest way to get picom working is to first install picom-conf from the repos.
Now go to Settings and launch Picom Configuration. Click on apply. It will create the conf file for you.

Edit the startup file and uncomment the picom entry.

Log out and back in to start picom.

When loading a web page in a new tab, the tab is white until the page loads. This doesn't happen in MX-23 fluxbox. It stays dark.
I've already enabled the tear-free option in MX Tweak but I don't think that's what the option is for. I'm not running a compositor.

Possible hardware issues...?

They prompted me to post this here, although I think it is hardware-related.
I was able to install MX 25 Beta1 on an HP laptop but I can't install it on my main laptop which is a ten-year-old Dell Inspiron 5558. The funny thing is that the latter had MX 23.6 installed before that, albeit with some problems.
Does that mean that my hardware faces issues?
I'm attaching QSI using the live USB.

From a Live Boot BIOS menu - choose "Switch to Grub Bootloader" to see the "Boot Rescue Menus" choice (live only).

On UEFI it is the last entry in the initial menu.

The "F6 Failsafe" on the bottom menu has other boot modifiers: "Safe Video", "Failsafe", "load=all" and "modesetting" as choices.

Edit: added F6 info.
May be u got me wrong: I don't care for mx-live (which worked fine for my opinion).
After installation to harddisk, the new grub does not have any options for new mx25 installation.
Main menu contains "advanced options for mx25", but if you select it, there's nothing in it :(

MX-25_KDE_beta1_x64 Infinity

Maybe for the "Presentation Mode" the screen setting icon (Configuration de l'Affichage in french) should be present into the panel by default to have the ability to switch quickly On/Off?

Congratulations, right now, I can not find a lot of issues at this beta stage 1.

They prompted me to post this here, although I think it is hardware-related.
I was able to install MX 25 Beta1 on an HP laptop but I can't install it on my main laptop which is a ten-year-old Dell Inspiron 5558. The funny thing is that the latter had MX 23.6 installed before that, albeit with some problems.
Does that mean that my hardware faces issues?
I had the same problem with a Lenovo X1 Carbon. with MX 23.6 working on it, but MX 25 refused to even boot. Also reported that but seemingly it was not taken seriously (@Jerry3904). Which in a way could be understood: there are now 10+ pages with reports and if some few older PC cannot take the Beta-1 that is a minor issue. For us with these PC it is of course irritating.

Similar on othe Lenovos of about that generation.
I have tested 4-5 different USB sticks, tested create the sticks in some different ways - same result: it looks like the PC is connecting to the USB (some USB have indicators) but nothing on the display.
Other OS works fine, as MX 23.6, latest Manjaro.

The very same USB sticks works fine with newer PC (like the Lenovo Slim Yoga).

Can you describe what not booting means? For instance, do you not see a grub menu at all, or do you get a grub menu but no desktop? Or something in-between.

Thanks for the QSI-substitute!

They prompted me to post this here, although I think it is hardware-related.
I was able to install MX 25 Beta1 on an HP laptop but I can't install it on my main laptop which is a ten-year-old Dell Inspiron 5558. The funny thing is that the latter had MX 23.6 installed before that, albeit with some problems.
Does that mean that my hardware faces issues?
I'm attaching QSI using the live USB.

while it could be hardware related, the /var/log/minstall.log file might be useful to see where the installation process failed. what sort of problems did mx23 have?

How can I disable yakuake and its F4 shortcut?
That is completely anoying me!
I heavily use krusader, which has F4 shortcut to edit files. Even with krusader being active, F4 opens the anoying dropdown shell :mad:

They prompted me to post this here, although I think it is hardware-related.
I was able to install MX 25 Beta1 on an HP laptop but I can't install it on my main laptop which is a ten-year-old Dell Inspiron 5558. The funny thing is that the latter had MX 23.6 installed before that, albeit with some problems.
Does that mean that my hardware faces issues?
I had the same problem with a Lenovo X1 Carbon. with MX 23.6 working on it, but MX 25 refused to even boot. Also reported that but seemingly it was not taken seriously (@Jerry3904). Which in a way could be understood: there are now 10+ pages with reports and if some few older PC cannot take the Beta-1 that is a minor issue. For us with these PC it is of course irritating.
From my experience with Spiral-Linux (based on bookworm), I have an idea which might be working on MX23.6 too.
An upgrade to a new stable Version ( from bookworm to trixie ) is easy to to with Synaptic.
Disabling a few things in the Repositories, checking only the stable repo (which is of course trixie now) , applying the upgrade with Synaptic
and trixie is installed.
Afterwards changing "bookworm" to "trixie" in the fasttrack and other repos which can be seen in the repo-gui and that is all.
It worked very well.

MX25 uses the common debian repos and only adds the mx-repo. So that must be done with Synaptic too .... and then it should work on your Lenovo X1 Carbon.

Since I am a Noob, I would like to ask the developers if my idea is worth trying it before I would try it.
I have my personal data on a separate data-partition which is not affected by new installations of Distros on other partitions.

Since I have a working MX23.6 Xfce on one of my partitions, I will try it for myself when I find time.

Here is the link to the description how to use Synaptic for upgrading

An upgrade to a new stable Version ( from bookworm to trixie ) is easy to to with Synaptic.
I would recommend waiting for official instructions (@dolphin_oracle when do you think we should publish them?)
The issue is not that simple because of how we have systemd-shim set up in MX23 and is not available in Debian Trixie the user will have to choose to switch to systemd or to sysvinit and there are some extra steps involved in that.

The only error-message in Synaptic when I changed "bookworm" to "trixie" in the repo-gui occured with the mx-repos.
It said that the keys are wrong. I don't remember the exact words.
Right now the upgrade takes place with the mx-updater.

Ok, something went wrong.
When booting into the upgraded partition, I end up in an endless cycle.
A screen (black background) where it says: "Welcome to MxLinux! Powered by Debian"
Second line: "mx-xfce login:"
I type my username, then a prompt for the password, type in my password .... it does something,
then starts again with "Welcome to MxLinux" Powered by Debian" etc.

Since I don't need this now corrupted partition anymore, I will delete it for further use , maybe installing MX25-beta KDE on it.

I like the MX25-beta Xfce (systemd) . It works fine.

Maybe would be good, if you describe what "can't install" might mean.
Also do you know the differenc of UEFI ESP install and legacy boot installe, b/c you Live QSI shows you booting in legacy BIOS/MBR boot mode.

But the main drive /dev/sda is on GPT partition table, where legacy MBR install may have difficulties to boot. And I'm not sure the Installer is really helping here in sorting out this situation.

OK, here is a "funny" one, for testing I tried to install from a MX-25-xfce beta1 LiveUSB, and
got "Failed to format partition"
It was an empty drive, with no partition table on it.
So I started to use the build-in-partition manager to add my usual partitions
vda1... vda4, (bios_grub, esp, swap, main labeled MX-25_xb1)
But the build-in partition'er was too boring, when I wanted to add 16GB size, it did not allow me just to type 16 gb,
I was asked to hold scroll up the up-button to count in mb. That i didn't like and clicked on the Gparted symbol to open Gparted
and prepared partition table GPT and all partitions I wanted.
Everything went fine until this huge a failure pop'd up:

The issue is that it can't find a bootable device, as it says. Of course I've tried that in many different ways such as with UEFI/Secure Boot Off, Legacy, etc.
It just won't install...When I was running 23.6 it had some trouble booting and prompted me for CTRL+D to resume normal boot (maybe a hardware thing...?).
Because I was curious, I installed Windows 10 on the Dell and it runs fine, so I'm not sure that it is definitely a hardware issue...

after install is when you get the boot error, correct?

its quite possible your system is still trying to boot a previous UEFI install.

But another minor "issue", can anybody explain what the Active partition table column
is good for an UEFI installation. The help panel tried to give some ideas:
Active partition
For the installed operating system to boot, the appropriate partition (usually the boot or root partition) must be the marked as active.
The active partition of a drive can be chosen using the Active partition menu action.
A partition with an asterisk (*) next to its device name is, or will become, the active partition.
AFAIK, Active partitions flags are neither needed nor even used in UEFI boot. After UEFI system handed over to efiGRUB loader there is no intention of GRUB
to try to analyze what flags a partition may hold.
Suggest to "hide the Active Partition column for ESP UEFI installs, and adjust the explaining (now missleading) help text, that this flag is only used for legacy BIOS booting by some BIOS//CSM emulators.
In geparted in legacy boot shown as "boot" flag and in UEFI boot as "legacy_boot".

Seems the installer replaces all mx occurrences of the repo entries to one repo based on my location, ignoring the fact that I already had prepare the repos for Germany with my own mx-de.sources file.
Apt and nala do support nicely having more than one repo-mirror enabled,
Only the installer and probably als MX Repo manager, seem to wrongly assume apt/nala will only work with one repo mirror enabled, and do create such a mess.
In case some one asks, nala can load from multiple enabled repos in parallel for faster download. apt will also use multiple mirrors in case of fallback scenarios or a repo is outdated

Then click, hover, focus, unfocus the window and toolbar icons mentioned previously. In some cases the toolbar button icons disappear or change color to the blue button background color making them invisible. It doesn't happen in the light theme.

2. In Window Manager Style tab the Button Layout icons are invisble and you can't click and drag them to change the title bar layout. Maybe it's not supposed to be changeable in this theme.
no, they're most likely bugs. Thanks for the report, will look into it. Presume you're using xfce.

Look out for the update to mx-ease-themes_25.09.02, which should fix the above bugs.
The update also adds a depend for gtk2-engines-pixbuf to fix theme issues with qt6 based apps.

I commented out localize-repo out of the installer, but the live system will still use localize-repo to localize any mx (and antix for that matter) source in any list or sources file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. this has always been true for list files, and I imagine mx-repo-manager is similar. it trips me up sometimes when certain repos are not mirrored.

Yes, I have the same question as well. From the blog post, it seems to be that you won't have to reinstall with the betas this time, but it also reads a bit vaguely.

Danke @fehlix!

@dolphin_oracle Any objections to me also adding gnome-themes-extra as a depend?

That is completely anoying me!
I heavily use krusader, which has F4 shortcut to edit files. Even with krusader being active, F4 opens the anoying dropdown shell :mad:
You can find Yakuake in System Settings / Shortcuts and change it there.
Thank you very much - that worked indeed :)

other oddity:
reboot with a saved session shows all windows in first virtual desktop.
With mx23 each window reopens in the virtual desktop it was at save-time.

I changed to Oxygen and then back to breeze ( which were the correct icons) and NOT Breeze is displayed both here and in mx tweak ??
live or after install? if installed, did you preserve home folder.

KDE ... MX Tweak does not open ... you see a window pop in the panel task manager, a circle going around for a bit, then it vanishes, and tweak does not open.

Also it still takes over 2 minutes of waiting at the login screen to be able to enter password and log in. Disconnecting/reconnecting keyboard/mouse doesn't do anything, I just have to wait.

I'm not seeing any of that here.

Tweak starts quickly both directly from the menu and from the Tools panel.
Can start typing my password as soon as the login screen appears.

Did you check the md5/sha256 of your downloaded ISO?

Hi,

Beta 1 KDE here, installed (not live).
I have some issues with Plasma 6 and hard to tell if it's related to this MX version or just Plasma itself (some settings are gone, themes not available anymore, etc)

Conky special fonts for icons (CPU, Battery, etc) are missing and can't find how to install them (Conky theme MX-Flair for ex).

It's totally usable as is for me, but will stay on MX 23 and do some more testing for the time being.

Which conky's specifically are you seeing this with? List them all.

I have installed Mx - Beta on a Dell with the following graphics card

NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation

and I have installed the drivers from the MX - tools

The problem is that I can not login in Kde 6 Wayland from SDDM menu. I can only login in Kde 6 - X11, but I have some minor glitches with my mouse there (slow response) and I would like to try the Wayland version.

Any ideas?

Yes, I have reported it a couple of times already since it is one of my favorite conkies. We have it on the list for a fix if possible during the beta phase, so thanks for spotting it.

Have not yet found it in any other conky but we will be going through the whole collection. Do you possible have time to go through the collection and report any other conky problems you spot (but not about opacity, we have a fix coming for that)? That would be a HUGE help. :happy:

Yes, I have reported it a couple of times already since it is one of my favorite conkies. We have it on the list for a fix if possible during the beta phase, so thanks for spotting it.
The fonts required for the conky's are included in their directory. Here's MX-Flair.

live or after install? if installed, did you preserve home folder.
After install, and I thought thought I had replaced my install - but I am now hearing that actually 'replace' = preserve ... so I believe I had preserved my home.

OK the icon set did change from previous defaults so quite possible the icon set wasn't available anymore.

the live seems OK. will close that particular item for now.

@siamhie Thanks, I explored all that during the development phase without solution.
@specialk That's what I see on MX-25 as well, both sysV and systemd, no matter so far what I have tried. Didn't know about MX-Simple, thanks for that.We will continue working on it during beta phase, maybe set up a dedicated thread.

Neither XFCE nor KDE 25 betas boot on a Lenovo T430 and a 10 year old HP Envy. Lenovo T480 and X260 boot fine from the same two USB flash drives (used Ventoy for both). The issue is that after I choose to boot in normal mode, it then goes to a black screen with a static underscore. Secure boot is off. I have 23.6 on the same flash drives and they boot fine everywhere.

@Jerry3904 I downloaded MX-25 KDE beta and sure enough MX-Flair doesn't show the icons. All I saw where letters and numbers in place of the icons.

Installing Conky Manager did solve the icon issue, so it must be something with MX-Conky not reading the fonts included with the MX-Flair folder.

Just found out, that conky is unable to recognize X11 session, so all lua/cairo calls will fail

Code: Select all

conky: desktop window (0x800014) is subwindow of root window (0x1fe)
conky: window type - normal
conky: drawing to created window (0x400002)
conky: drawing to double buffer

Hi everyone,

In brief:
one little problem upgrading from a mx23 to mx25beta1 preserving /home: the "second user" can't login till "chown -R" his home, that after upgrade belongs to "1001".

Full story:

from a live mx25beta1 I did install on a mx23 existing installation with two user, indicating the first user same name when requested.
(Nice the new "Replace existing installation" choice in "Select type of installation" it was easy.)

Everything perfect, so I login on the upgraded system and created the second user.

Trying to login as the second user I receive a blank screen and immediatly after the login screen again.

Veryfing the owner of the second user home I find "1001".

Solution was "chown -R seconduser_name home_seconduser_name" (sudo).

Second user now logs in and find everithing he left on mx23.


I didn't find any info on further operation needed after creating the second user account,
so I think is a little problem to solve. Am I wrong?


As indicated follows the content of /var/log/minstall.log:

Code: Select all

@specialk That's what I see on MX-25 as well, both sysV and systemd, no matter so far what I have tried. Didn't know about MX-Simple, thanks for that.We will continue working on it during beta phase, maybe set up a dedicated thread.
@Jerry3904 I downloaded MX-25 KDE beta and sure enough MX-Flair doesn't show the icons. All I saw where letters and numbers in place of the icons.

Installing Conky Manager did solve the icon issue, so it must be something with MX-Conky not reading the fonts included with the MX-Flair folder.
Good catch about Conky Manager showing those icons correctly, should help @Adrian do some troubleshooting when he has time.

Indeed, I tried it too and it's "fixed", at least this way.

I'm not sure I understand what icons should I see? Are all the conkys messed up? If one or few of them are then it might be an issue with the conky file -- sorry I don't know enough about them to troubleshoot.
Maybe it's relying on a icon set that is not installed in KDE, but I'm not going to install any extra icon sets only to make a conky work.

No need to install anything, since the icon set is included inside the folders of the only two conkies affected: MX Flair

and MX Simple (I think these are the files)

ChatGPT says this:
Because Conky (with use_xft = true) only sees fonts that are registered with fontconfig. It won’t load a .ttf just because it’s in the same folder.

Fix:

Put the font file in a font dir

Per-user: ~/.local/share/fonts/ (or legacy ~/.fonts/)

System-wide: /usr/local/share/fonts/ or /usr/share/fonts/

Rebuild cache: fc-cache -f -v
If it works in Xfce I don't know, maybe somehow those fonts are registered.

I'm not seeing any of that here.

Tweak starts quickly both directly from the menu and from the Tools panel.
Can start typing my password as soon as the login screen appears.
Everything is working fine except for those issues, in fact I have been using it as my daily driver.

Running mx-tweak in terminal gets:

Using mx-ease-themes_25.09.02...

With the mx-ease theme, in galculator, without a value saved yet to memory...
  • The text on the MR and M+ buttons is invisible (probably because the text and background have the same color) instead of being grayed out against a background of a different color.
  • Unlike all the other galculator buttons, the MS, MR and M+ buttons do not display a border, even after a value has been saved to memory.
With the mx-ease-Dark theme, in galculator...
  • While text on the MS, MR and M+ buttons is always visible, borders do not appear on these buttons, whether or not a value has been saved to memory.

Just a quick question - Has anyone tried installing nvidia-driver in MX 25? This went horrible in Debian Trixie. It's still a problem. I'm really hoping this doesn't make it downstream to MX 25.

MX 25 Beta1 KDE, Problem with Synthing

I currently operate two MX 23 KDE computers with identical configurations. A file is synchronized with Syncthing on both PCs.
This works perfectly.

Now, MX 25 KDE beta1 has replaced MX 23 for testing on one of the computers. MX 25 was installed on an empty SSD and all apps from the MX 23 configuration were added.
The network connection between the two PCs remains unchanged.

Almost everything works perfectly, but syncthing displays the error message “127.0.1 connection refused. Check proxy and firewall” when starting.
The error also occurs when the firewall is disabled. A proxy is not set up, at least not that I know of.

Does anyone have an idea?

I agree that going from MX 23 Plasma 5/X11 to MX 25 Plasma 6/Wayland (KDE) may lead to some bug reporting that are not actually related to the MX "whole package".
So far I can only say that Plasma 6 is not 100% implemented, or that I missed some settings, etc.
I may fear that the systemd implementation might cause troubles (I had some, maybe not related, I'll see, it's just a test for now).

Thanks guys !

“127.0.1 connection refused. Check proxy and firewall”

It should be 127.0.0.1 did you type it wrong here or that's the message?

Do you have syncthing app installed? If it's not installed you cannot connect to it... if it's installed, start it from the command line and check the debug messages posted there.

Did you read this? It's not about being in the same folder it's about having them registered with fontconfig (not sure if accurate but that's what I got when I searched for the issue):

"Because Conky (with use_xft = true) only sees fonts that are registered with fontconfig. It won’t load a .ttf just because it’s in the same folder."

That's fine, this thread is not as much for users to search for issues if for reporting issues. We should be able to figure out what the report is for if we see the QSI. Maybe in the future we'll split the report but in a way it makes it easier for us, we don't have to monitor multiple report threads.

The issue is that after I choose to boot in normal mode, it then goes to a black screen with a static underscore. Secure boot is off. I have 23.6 on the same flash drives and they boot fine everywhere.
There might be an issue with the type of partition aka Partition Style of MBR vs GPT (when preparing the Ventoy drive). Generally for newer PCs use GPT. MBR is the default.

No matter which option I select for Double click action on the Advanced tab in Window Manager (and even after a reboot, which shouldn't be necessary in any case), double-clicking the title bar shades the window. For example, I select Maximize window for the Double click action, but double-clicking the title bar still shades the window, even though Double click action continues to show Maximize window after reboot.

A related problem: Double-clicking the title bar of a shaded window does not restore the window.

I do not experience these problems with MX Linux 23.6.

Edit: This problem occurs only when using the mx-ease window manager themes. I have re-posted to the mx-ease testing thread.

upgrading from a mx23 to mx25beta1 preserving /home: the "second user" can't login till "chown -R" his home, that after upgrade belongs to "1001".
-- Clipped --
Veryfing the owner of the second user home I find "1001".
I don't see anything out of the ordinary here, just standard first Unix user account UID with Debian based systems. The first is always 1000, the second 1002, the third 1003 and so on.

! - - - - EDIT - - - - ! correcting my mistake above , the 2nd user is 1001, third 1002 and so on ! - - - - EDIT - - - - !

I would surmise your second user account was not in fact the second account created on the original installation and it may have been assigned a UID higher than 1001, hence your need to change it.

When saving /home on a multi-user system, it is important to identify each users UID as seen in the original installations /etc/passwd file, then make the accounts in the same order so as not to mess them up.

I have successfully performed multi-user upgrades or reinstalls with MX while re-using /home, and I provisioned them in the Live system before running the installer. Not a single one had a problem with UID values because I copied the lines from the original /etc/passwd to a text file and referenced it as i created each user in the Live system to ensure I provisioned each user in the order in which they were originally created.

I do not recommend folk do this live because the installer will lay down a demo account and skip the account creation process, but if you are a seasoned Linux user, this is a trivial thing to work through and our MX User app is capable of renaming the demo account post install, and again, only for seasoned an experienced users.

Did you read this? It's not about being in the same folder it's about having them registered with fontconfig (not sure if accurate but that's what I got when I searched for the issue):

"Because Conky (with use_xft = true) only sees fonts that are registered with fontconfig. It won’t load a .ttf just because it’s in the same folder."
I did, quickly. Didn't totally understand it and I'm working outdoors this afternoon. Can you see how Conky Manager is doing it?

That's OK, I checked with dolphin_oracle, the files just need to be copied or linked to ~/.fonts (which is what conky-manager seems to be doing) so it should be an easy fix.

upgrading from a mx23 to mx25beta1 preserving /home: the "second user" can't login till "chown -R" his home, that after upgrade belongs to "1001".
-- Clipped --
Veryfing the owner of the second user home I find "1001".
I don't see anything out of the ordinary here, just standard first Unix user account UID with Debian based systems. The first is always 1000, the second 1002, the third 1003 and so on.

I would surmise your second user account was not in fact the second account created on the original installation and it may have been assigned a UID higher than 1001, hence your need to change it.

When saving /home on a multi-user system, it is important to identify each users UID as seen in the original installations /etc/passwd file, then make the accounts in the same order so as not to mess them up.

I have successfully performed multi-user upgrades or reinstalls with MX while re-using /home, and I provisioned them in the Live system before running the installer. Not a single one had a problem with UID values because I copied the lines from the original /etc/passwd to a text file and referenced it as i created each user in the Live system to ensure I provisioned each user in the order in which they were originally created.

I do not recommend folk do this live because the installer will lay down a demo account and skip the account creation process, but if you are a seasoned Linux user, this is a trivial thing to work through and our MX User app is capable of renaming the demo account post install, and again, only for seasoned an experienced users.
fehlix reported this. said hardinfo2 installation was creating a user account when we build the isos, with the user being 1001. in effect, the hardinfo2 user "owned" that preexisitng home directory.

I don't like that behavior at all. if that cannot be adjusted, I will remove hardinfo2 from the default installations.

With the mx-ease theme, in galculator, without a value saved yet to memory...
  • The text on the MR and M+ buttons is invisible (probably because the text and background have the same color) instead of being grayed out against a background of a different color.
  • Unlike all the other galculator buttons, the MS, MR and M+ buttons do not display a border, even after a value has been saved to memory.
With the mx-ease-Dark theme, in galculator...
  • While text on the MS, MR and M+ buttons is always visible, borders do not appear on these buttons, whether or not a value has been saved to memory.
@kwg thanks for the report, I'll look into it.

hello dolphin_oracle
yad
changelog version 4.0 remove alias *-selection from options font, color, file.
yad file Chooser. finding that even the man yad examples outdated are not consistent with the
Change of option past --file-selection
Change to --file

hello fehlix
for example in mx-idesktool
Change of DIALOG --file-selection
Change to
DIALOG --file

will cause mx-idesktool to function where the yad file Chooser went missing.

Can this line go into mx-idesktool?
will set default application to Open .lnk files as With mx-idesktool.

Did you read this? It's not about being in the same folder it's about having them registered with fontconfig (not sure if accurate but that's what I got when I searched for the issue):

"Because Conky (with use_xft = true) only sees fonts that are registered with fontconfig. It won’t load a .ttf just because it’s in the same folder."
I did, quickly. Didn't totally understand it and I'm working outdoors this afternoon. Can you see how Conky Manager is doing it?
That's OK, I checked with dolphin_oracle, the files just need to be copied or linked to ~/.fonts (which is what conky-manager seems to be doing) so it should be an easy fix.
Mighty awesome, thanks for staying with this. You too, DO

Had the same problem with my custom conky using FontAwesome and Armata. After I installed the fonts system wide, it worked.
(testing KDE beta in VM, should have more "real" feedback until the end of the week)

That's what installing conky-manager has done by itself, in some way.
Now running a conky file/template through mx-tools-conky works fine.

Maybe it's relying on a icon set that is not installed in KDE, but I'm not going to install any extra icon sets only to make a conky work.
@Adrian Apparently MX-Conky isn't picking up the fonts that come with the conky's. Same thing happens with MX-25 XFCE beta. Here's an example.

MX-Conky

Conky Manager

The fonts for the icons are in the MX-Flair folder. Dingytwo.ttf and GeosansLight.ttf

AHS svinit Xfce -Re: MX 25 Beta 1 Feedback thread

Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2025 6:17 pm

Sorry I am late to this wonderful party. I have eagerly awaited the first beta. It is great, as usual, a very usable beta, great so far, except I have had two glitches.
The first one, the night of the install, it was getting late, so I passed it off as something I did carelessly. During normal gui actions, I found myself suddenly logged out. I logged back in and used the system yesterday, did all synaptic updates, and when I closed synaptic, I again found my self logged out. I logged back in, sure enough the whole session ended. No apps open, when I opened firefox , I was offered to restore the session, which I did, and all was OK.

I am catching up on this lengthy thread, any other glitches reported?

So, some history, and the system.

This is my new Ryzen system, which had >47 days flawless uptime (no unexpected log outs !) before I decided to install the beta. I downloaded the iso for the xfce, svinit, AHS version.
the sha256 checked, so I burned it to my tested USB 4G stick with the MX Live USB Creator tool. I booted it, it verified the media, and I installed. All in all the usual quick process, though I forgot again, my second time to enable the existing swap partition.

This is my testing configuration. I have 3 partitions, a classic Warren install, MX-23.6 AHS
/
swap
/home

Then I have a fourth partition which I install versions to test, grub to PBR. I then update grub in the first partition.
This gives a stable 23.6 I can go back to easily when logging in, while offering a full install for testing. Also great for testing and comparison, like benchmarks etc. Same hardware, just a software difference.

The on chip Radeon graphics worked easily with the install automatically.
Sound, internet, all works OTB. I took all synaptic upgrades, and ran the great uip tool, flawlessly installing all my programs. So far I haven't had anything that won't work yet, though I am doing more testing. Just those 2 log outs.

A great effort by the dev team ! :number1:

The fonts for the icons are in the MX-Flair folder. Dingytwo.ttf and GeosansLight.ttf
For the fonts, you can create a folder into your: /home/user1/.fonts/
... and put inside : Dingytwo.ttf and GeosansLight.ttf ( It works for my conky here with the font: Hack Regular Nerd Font Complete.ttf )

That font issue should already be fixed in mx-conky 25.09.4, no need to talk about it here anymore.

I have installed with many problems
1) I can not login in Wayland only in X11 and I had to add some parameters to boot options
2) There are many problems appeared in the dmesg log file and I had to install the free nvdidia drivers to my system
here are is the system info

Yikes. I was hoping this problem wouldn't make it downstream.
currently running nvidia drivers 550 on wayland. did have to make some modifications though. will look at those for our tool routines, thanks

**edit** did not work with hybrid graphics, just discrete.

Mx 25 xfce ahs, I did try to install on a virtual machine with Proxmox.

I did tried 3 times to install with btrfs.
1) with legacy bios, root and home into btrfs formatted partition
2) uefi without secureboot, root and home into btrfs formatted partotion
3) with legacy bios, only root into btrfs formatted partotion.

The problem with Timeshift is always that of "timeshift cannot write the snapshot" , something like that.

I have installed with many problems
1) I can not login in Wayland only in X11 and I had to add some parameters to boot options
2) There are many problems appeared in the dmesg log file and I had to install the free nvdidia drivers to my system

Yikes. I was hoping this problem wouldn't make it downstream.
currently running nvidia drivers 550 on wayland. did have to make some modifications though. will look at those for our tool routines, thanks

**edit** did not work with hybrid graphics, just discrete.

Hi:
Testing MX25-Fluxbox on a Qemu/Virt-Manager virtual machine, when shutting down from the terminal with “sudo halt,” the system does not shut down completely. It remains on a black screen (in sysvinit) and with the shutdown theme frozen (in SystemD). “sudo poweroff” and “sudo reboot” work without any problems, Image attached.

Best regards

Fluxbox only.

On a machine with a 1440x900 display, the default wallpaper leaves a black band at the top of the screen. Some other wallpapers are OK, some not.

Changing the Nitrogen option from 'Automatic' to 'Scaled' fixes the problem, so should 'Scaled' be the default?

I asked that during the development phase, thanks for bringing it up again. If it makes no difference with the other wallpapers I would like to see it enabled. Reading man nitrogen, it seems like this change to ~/.config/nitrogen/nitrogen.cfg might work:

Code: Select all

[geometry]
posx=366
posy=132
sizex=1110
sizey=923

[nitrogen]
view=icon
set-scaled=true
recurse=true
sort=rtime
icon_caps=false
dirs=/usr/share/backgrounds;/home/jb/.fluxbox/backgrounds;

@Senpai Do the GUI shutdown methods work?

- rootmenu > leave > shutdown

Testing MX25-Fluxbox on a Qemu/Virt-Manager virtual machine, when shutting down from the terminal with “sudo halt,” the system does not shut down completely. It remains on a black screen (in sysvinit) and with the shutdown theme frozen (in SystemD). “sudo poweroff” and “sudo reboot” work without any problems, Image attached.
@Senpai Do the GUI shutdown methods work?

- rootmenu > leave > shutdown
- exit-options button in tint2 panel > shutdown
- appfinder > exit options > shutdown

Yes, everything works fine in the three graphic options you mention.

I see no issues here, can you elaborate? Is it not starting? What does it say if you type in konsole: brave-browser?
Can you provide QSI, did you install nvidia driver?

I did tried 3 times to install with btrfs.
1) with legacy bios, root and home into btrfs formatted partition
2) uefi without secureboot, root and home into btrfs formatted partotion
3) with legacy bios, only root into btrfs formatted partotion.

The problem with Timeshift is always that of "timeshift cannot write the snapshot" , something like that.
Just in case:
Timeshift needs /@ and /@home subvolume to work with btrfs. It won't use btrfs-snapshotting on a just "plain" btrfs-formatted partittion.
Also swap or /swap file need to be outside the btrfs-volume /@-root is based on, b/c btrfs-snapshotting - timeshift tries to use on btrfs - won't work with swap on the same volume.

I think you need to start nitrogen with the options in the startup file?

nitrogen --restore --set-scaled

upgrading from a mx23 to mx25beta1 preserving /home: the "second user" can't login till "chown -R" his home, that after upgrade belongs to "1001".
-- Clipped --
Veryfing the owner of the second user home I find "1001".
I don't see anything out of the ordinary here, just standard first Unix user account UID with Debian based systems. The first is always 1000, the second 1002, the third 1003 and so on.
...and mx25beta1 do the same.

But verifying /etc/passwd of four different mx23 systems, I find that mx23 assigned to "second user" UID 1001, not 1002.

I suspect that everyone upgrading a system with two users will find the difficulty I found.

Maybe an advice on a future document "upgrading from mx23 instructions" can be useful.


(All my systems have two users, the second for normal use without admin rights, a seasoned but safe habit.)

(problem beta 1, KDE)

Second time in two days : boot, ok until the MX logo and then it hangs there, nothing more happens (I force a reboot).

Other : I just had a session crash while on Firefox doing nothing special. Black screen, nothings reacts, force back to login, loging in -> black screen again.
Hard to tell from the syslog what happened.

It works here (I do see similar messages in terminal) so not sure what is going on, I guess use Xorg if that works for you, I don't think I can test and figure out the issue if I cannot replicate.

Think it should be changed to this

    if [ -e "$HOME/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg" ]; then

nitrogen first creates a bg-saved.cfg when you change the wallpaper.

yes.

in the .fluxbox/startup file change this:

Code: Select all

#get last background selected
#~/.fehbg
#restore from saved background if exists and nitrogen installed
if [ -x "/usr/bin/nitrogen" ]; then
    if [ -e "$HOME/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg" ]; then
        (sleep 1; nitrogen --restore & )
    else
        # set default background
        (sleep 1; nitrogen --set-auto /usr/share/backgrounds/default25.png)
    fi
fi
to this

Code: Select all

#get last background selected
#restore from saved background if exists and nitrogen installed
if [ -x "/usr/bin/nitrogen" ]; then
    if [ -e "$HOME/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg" ]; then
        (sleep 1; nitrogen --restore & )
    else
        # set default background
        (sleep 1; nitrogen --set-scaled /usr/share/backgrounds/default25.png)
    fi
fi

the way that works, --set-scaled is only explicitly used for the default background, and even then only if the bg-saved.cfg folder does not exist. the config file will take over from there when bg-saved.cfg exists.

I have some strange issues in X11. The mouse clicks may times seem to be ignored by the system and the smplayer has some lags to play videos

Before I send mx-fluxbox up, I received a message that we have not enabled spice-vdagent in fluxbox. I made no such decision so I need to ask: is its absence commission (intentional) or omission (accidental)? If the latter, can I just paste in the stanza in 23.6 startup again?

Code: Select all

# start spice-vdagent in KVM/Qemu 
if [ -x /usr/bin/spice-vdagent ]; then
   pidof -q spice-vdagentd && /usr/bin/spice-vdagent
fi
Thanks.

Oh, and can picom be made available for MX-23 -- wrote only mx-25 in the Wiki article. picom is installed and active by default in 23.6

Thanks.
maybe delay 5 sec, check daemon is running and agent is not running to avoid running twice, into background.
e.g. with:

Code: Select all

# start spice-vdagent in KVM/Qemu 
if [ -x /usr/bin/spice-vdagent ]; then
   (sleep 5 && pidof -q  spice-vdagentd && ! pidof -q  spice-vdagent &&  /usr/bin/spice-vdagent)&
fi

Picom has been available for MX-23 (version 9.1) and I put in a package request awhile ago for version 12.5 which I think is still in the test repo.

It's in Trixie now so no longer in MX-25 test repo.

Still not sure whether I need to add anything extra to the Wiki Help file to cover 23.

Can we seperate the feed for XFCE And KDE in the forums so we won't have to search for all KDE stuff in one thread for XFCE and KDE and also the other distro which name escapes me now.

That's fine, this thread is not as much for users to search for issues if for reporting issues. We should be able to figure out what the report is for if we see the QSI. Maybe in the future we'll split the report but in a way it makes it easier for us, we don't have to monitor multiple report threads.

I did report and no answer what so ever on MxLinux KDE 25. This is such a fiasco, I dought I will ever use MxLinux again.

Yeah and you misunderstood me by the looks. I said we cannot sift them out, I meant we cannot go searching for all the kde posts and put them in one thread.

Also, the lead developer @dolphin_oracle specifically requested that all beta posts be put in one thread.

I did not get an answer on my report of problems with KDE 25. If you don't mind threads like this, search through all this mess and find it and answer. That's why I said these threads should have been seperated for each new Beta before it came out. I've never seen such a fiasco as this with Beta's. Usually when Beta's come pretty much all the problems have been sorted out. This seems kinda like Windows to me, they have no testing what so every. The people are the Guinea pig testers.

Beta releases are for reporting bugs discovered by users who wish to act as beta testers.

You should be as precise as possible and include all information (QSI) to help developers reproduce the issue and understand the cause of the problem.

Without all the data, it is not possible to reproduce the specific bug and understand its cause, and therefore it is unlikely that a fix can be achieved.

Beta releases are a time when multiple bugs appear, and the development team tries to fix them as quickly as possible.

Typically, a large number of bug reports appear and there is not much time to respond to them, as work is being done to identify and resolve them.

liquorix installation was fixed several days ago, at least from the popular apps entry.

Agree, it is an exciting time for MX users, who have input on making MX useful and stable for all users.
I want to help and make it better. It is only the first beta, and for the most part it seems to be very usable.

Those who don't enjoy the process, stay with MX 23.6 until 25 is final.
I do think problems related to KDE, show the complexity of that DE, and maybe has increased the volume if issues. I think getting everything working with xfce, will show the soundness of the MX structure, and then KDE specific issues will be dealt with. I shouldn't comment, 9_9 I haven't used KDE since Warren's Mepis !

@jc7006 your first post in this thread contained a dismissive tone and we can see you've tried to assist with feedback and become frustrated by this particular thread, but I'd like to point out that we do not make guinea pigs out of people who are invited to willingly come onboard for the purpose of testing and feedback. If any were the guinea pigs, it was everybody in the core development team and various admins as they found time between their paid work, family commitments and spare time to willingly and cheerfully gave to the cause over the months it took to get this first public beta off the ground, and we are a small team, not a corporate entity with thousands of paid employees.

Early beta testing requires the mindset of one who is willing and glad to lend a hand with finding and reporting bugs, fulfilling all the necessary requirements while reporting bugs and yes, that may mean reading through the forum pages to see if it has already been filed, irrespective of the conditions under which the forum pages are structured. Even a skim-read is usually sufficient to pick up on a detail concerning something you wish to report. The team work with what we have and DO has a reason and purpose for having all release types under this one thread. I can tell you with absolute certainty, the core devs work harder and longer than you could possibly imagine during the early stages of development and testing and they have no time to deal with grumblers and those who think they can treat them as they would a paid servant.

If you're willing to continue with participating in beta testing, please go back and carefully re-read the first post, and take note of the requirements of reporting issues. These are not mere suggestions, they are absolutes, that is the way when working in IT circles. The good folk here do not have time to act as mind readers or play guessing games with incomplete reports and bellyaching statements coming from a those with a mindset of entitlement. You are welcome to stay around and participate if you wish, but don't be calling us names or speaking as if we owe you something. We all give willingly because we love the project and the freedoms offered in the final product.

Well stated @m_pav. I think the approach used in this tread is a great one. One thread for everything. *You* (meaning everybody) may only have one issue but it's educational to see what else is going on.

Just for grins I took another spin thru this thread and found there are at least 8 developers that have posted here. Many of them several times. I've never seen better support before. MX 25 is going to be a great release.

Good job to all that are helping.

Issue: Using a text login (i.e. 'startxfce4') instead of lightdm by removing or disabling lightdm is leaving the user with no input - mouse and keyboard appear to be frozen.
Version: MX25 Beta 1 sysvinit XFCE AHS
Workaround: adding the line "needs_root_rights=yes" to /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config resolves the problem. This is less than ideal, and MX23 did not require this workaround.

The 3D desktop cube is part of KDE 6, and I've seen it on Fedora and on OpenMandriva.

Unfortunately there does not seem to be any option for the 3D desktop cube in MX 25. I wonder if there are plans to enable that.

I see no issues here, can you elaborate? Is it not starting? What does it say if you type in konsole: brave-browser?
Can you provide QSI, did you install nvidia driver?
Here is the output for the brave-browser command:

The problem with the brave browser under Wayland has been fixed. I have downloaded the newest version from https://brave.com/linux/ and now it works smoothly. Nevertheless, there are some strange messages in dmesg output regarding the nvidia drivers. You can find these messages here: https://pastebin.com/GUVSpX1b

Unfortunately there does not seem to be any option for the 3D desktop cube in MX 25. I wonder if there are plans to enable that.
@raskolnikov Install kwin-addons from MX Package Installer.
Look under Window Management > Desktop Effects.

(you will need a minimum of three virtual desktops for it to work)

There might be an issue with the type of partition aka Partition Style of MBR vs GPT (when preparing the Ventoy drive). Generally for newer PCs use GPT. MBR is the default.

More detail on Ventoy use Ventoy – How-To PDF, 433 Kb, illustrated. I am the author. Updated: 02 August 2025.
Thank you. The only way I was able to boot the MX25 ISO on my Thinkpad T430 was in Legacy mode. However, MX23.6 boots fine in UEFI on the same machine. I have the 1VYRAIN bios, which could contribute somehow. Bummer, since I am dual (triple actually) booting and already have other UEFI OS's.

Would you mind to try booting from a LiveUSB, created in two ways:

A) Using "MX LiveUSB Maker" and keep default [x] full feature mode selected, but possible select GPT under Advanced

B) Create the LiveUSB with [X] Image mode - dd-dump, use any tool you like e.g. MX LiveUSB Maker.

In addtition, in case neither A) or B) would boot in UEFI mode, can you try to select boot from file, within UEFI firmware setup (aka BIOS),
in case such an option exists on those Lenovo's . and navigate to the ESP (EFI System Partition) on the full feature mode generated LiveUSB,
and select grubx64 under /EFI/BOOT/grubx64.efi ( maybe also try shimx64.efi)

This would give (maybe) a clue whether Ventoy related or something else.

Thanks

Thanks Fehlix. Both A and B failed on the Lenoto T430, and I do not see the option to boot from file. Overall, in UEFI it is always the same - as soon as I select to boot from the USB, the screen goes dark. Legacy boots fine. I also tried Rufus (MBR and GPT, ISO and DD) and Balena Etcher in addition to Ventoy (MBR and GPT). I even made a snapshot of MX25 that I had installed on another laptop, created a live usb of that but it still does not want to boot in UEFI. But then in Legacy the snapshot boots fine.

I am sorry for making you waste time reading all this on an issue which is likely not global but entirely local on my end.

I'm using mx-ease-themes 25.09.03.

In the Whisker menu...

When I navigate the category pane with my keyboard, there's no indication of which button has the current focus. Code like the following should fix the problem:

Code: Select all

#whiskermenu-window .category-button:focus {
	border-color: #fff;
}
Also, while hardly important, the icons in the treeview are looking a little cramped to me. Code like the following might improve the spacing:

Code: Select all

#whiskermenu-window treeview {
	padding: 0 3px 0 1px;
}

@jc7006 your first post in this thread contained a dismissive tone and we can see you've tried to assist with feedback and become frustrated by this particular thread, but I'd like to point out that we do not make guinea pigs out of people who are invited to willingly come onboard for the purpose of testing and feedback. If any were the guinea pigs, it was everybody in the core development team and various admins as they found time between their paid work, family commitments and spare time to willingly and cheerfully gave to the cause over the months it took to get this first public beta off the ground, and we are a small team, not a corporate entity with thousands of paid employees.

Early beta testing requires the mindset of one who is willing and glad to lend a hand with finding and reporting bugs, fulfilling all the necessary requirements while reporting bugs and yes, that may mean reading through the forum pages to see if it has already been filed, irrespective of the conditions under which the forum pages are structured. Even a skim-read is usually sufficient to pick up on a detail concerning something you wish to report. The team work with what we have and DO has a reason and purpose for having all release types under this one thread. I can tell you with absolute certainty, the core devs work harder and longer than you could possibly imagine during the early stages of development and testing and they have no time to deal with grumblers and those who think they can treat them as they would a paid servant.

If you're willing to continue with participating in beta testing, please go back and carefully re-read the first post, and take note of the requirements of reporting issues. These are not mere suggestions, they are absolutes, that is the way when working in IT circles. The good folk here do not have time to act as mind readers or play guessing games with incomplete reports and bellyaching statements coming from a those with a mindset of entitlement. You are welcome to stay around and participate if you wish, but don't be calling us names or speaking as if we owe you something. We all give willingly because we love the project and the freedoms offered in the final product.

Not all beta software are the same. I'm sure the fine folks over at Pop have a swarm of developers working on their project.

A couple of fixes that would be nice to have out of the box:

Master volume reset
(it just happened in MX-25 XFCE systemd after logout/login):

static live remastered new kernel xfce sysV
minstall --oem
The oobe dark theme the check boxes cannot be seen;
familiarity got through it.
It Reboot outcome to a /home with two users.

Frequent trial of oem knowingly allows deletion of the clean /demo directory
for the fresh installation now has remastered software MX25 with
a clean /home.

you'll have to file a bug with XnView. that's why I took it out of mxpi. I'll give you a hint to pass along to them though, that libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 library changed it's name but its still available, its libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 now. they XnView will need to change their debian control file.

orage is in the repo and preinstalled on the Xfce releases

icewm is not one of our standard desktops, and while I fully support your choices in software, and I'm not tracking down problems with other desktops right now. feel free to explore that one in a separate thread.

I have nothing to report.

I finally got some free time to dedicate to trying the beta tonight so I installed MX-25_Xfce_sysvinit_beta1_x64.iso on a VM and started testing. I immediately hit an issue with the installed tmux package. tmux was not reading the config file I provided, regardless of any of the locations where I would put it. I tried some different troubleshooting steps, restarting, a minimal .tmux.conf. None succeeded, and I started compiling bug report data. I was grabbing some output on the VM to include in a post when it suddenly just started working.

I don't know if anyone else has had any problems with tmux in the beta so far, but I can confidently say I don't. Anymore. But until just now it was the strangest thing.

I have continued testing and, for me, KDE is still not usable. However, this is not the fault of the MX developers; KDE is faulty and unreliable. At least for me.
Apart from the fact that sessions are not saved correctly, the shutdown behavior is strange. Sometimes the system does not respond at all to the shutdown menu command, then the system gets stuck in the middle of the shutdown process and I have to power off the machine.

I'm not testing any further—for me, KDE is yet NOT ready for real usage.

I believe unless they changed it that the XFCE4 ISO (both inits) use policykit-1-gnome and Fluxbox uses polkit-mate. I'm not sure if both policykit frontends can be installed at the same time.. When you installed Fluxbox on XFCE4 do you know if polkit-mate got installed? If not then Fluxbox would be left without a policykit frontend until you changed it's startup to use policykit-1-gnome.

You need to install mate-polkit and mate-polkit-common if you are going to add Fluxbox (with MX-flux settings) to the MX-25 XFCE install.

Thank You AVLinux and siamhie; steered me straight to fluxbox iso mate polkit.


another line on the fluxbox /startup file
determines use of xfce4-power-manager &

if you wish to automatically start xfce power manager do it in fluxbox /startup.
Start manually run xfce4-power-manager on demand.
If you wish to have the xfce power manager settings as a fluxbox menu item,
then go into /usr/share/applications/xfce4-power-manager-settings.desktop

you'll have to file a bug with XnView. that's why I took it out of mxpi. I'll give you a hint to pass along to them though, that libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 library changed it's name but its still available, its libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 now. they XnView will need to change their debian control file.

My question is the same one as was asked by Arnox unlike previous MX versions, you will now be able to install beta 1 and then update all the way to the full stable v1.0 release of MX25? (As soon as v1.0 comes out of course.)

My beta 1 KDE is running perfectly, well in X11 it is but Wayland has never been good on my machine no matter what DE I am running. So, as it is running perfectly, will it be possible this time to keep upgrading through the betas to finish on stable? I have 25 installed on a spare SSD in my machine and would just like to clone the finished 25 onto my main drive rather than get everything set up and running perfectly as it is now and have to do a reinstall.

Hi,

Doing a "sudo ddm-mx -i nvidia -N" to install drivers from the nvidia developer repository will try and fail to download from :
Which does not exist.

I have heard the ddm-mx package will get an update. If that has to do with this I don't know.

Official statement is in the blog:
At this time we intend the betas to update through final.
I personally will be doing that on my daily driver for sure.

Feedback? Even in beta stage, MX-Linux 25b1 shines above the rest. I installed the kde version to hd, installed the nvidia driver from the repositories, and using it normally as if it were not a beta at all. Zero bugs to report, everything runs just fine.

Consider me forever amazed at how this distro, thanks to its developers, just installs without a hitch in 2 minutes maximum, and is ready to run flawlessly. Why can't other distros do this? I am serious when I say it's a mystery to me.

Thanks again!

MX-25 fluxbox beta systemd

When opening synaptic, the window is white but the theme is set to Yaru-olive-dark.

If I open MX Package Installer, it does show the dark theme Yaru-olive-dark.

I've tried Arc-Dark and Greybird-dark-mx but the synaptic window is still shows up as white.

With xfce installed checked a box in tweak show menu hibernate.
clicked the menu, hibernate. It did.

Tried what you stated, Hibernate option checked in the installer.
Created swap and hibernate options.
Is this with the standard Xfce version?

The option to create a Hibernate entry works OK on the AHS version.

MX 25 XFCE starts with Systemd. Synaptic doesn't recognize the deb822 format in its repository option.

On MX 23.6 XFCE, it doesn't recognize them either (Librewolf repository).

However, on both systems, it updates the repositories, detects updates, and installs them correctly.

I believe this is a Synaptic issue and has nothing to do with MX Linux.

Thanks everyone for your excellent work.

Is Synaptic GTK4/libadwaita in Trixie perhaps? If you install another GTK4 app (ie Simple Scan) does it also not honor the theme? GTK4 is maddeningly variable on non-Gnome systems.. :frown:

No synaptic is old school and the gui runs as root. So on most desktops it will pull settings from the root account rather than the user. Which are never set by any of the modern appearance apps since that would require elevated privileges.


Xfce is sort of an exception here as it xsettings Dameon provides the info.

It’s not new. Gparted does the same.

MX 25 Beta 1 in a VM, mx-updater 25.09.04mx25

I'm trying to set the auto hide feature of mx-updater in a script.
I see settings are stored in ~/.config/MX-Linux/mx-updater.conf

If I overwrite that file with a config that contains hide_until_upgrades_available=true, and then reload mx-updater, it flips this setting back to false.

Is this by design?

FI:
After some tries (after used mx-snapshot) , I tested bleachbit into MX25-KDE-wayland session and systemd, and I had some heavy errors (after a reboot , the service samba can not be loaded at the boot process with systemd, and I had to do a full reinstall of MX25-KDE, hopefully from a iso snapshot).

Code: Select all

error like: smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon  loaded (/lib/systemd/system/smbd.service ...   Active: failed (Result: exit-code)

... I never had this kind of issues with sysvinit -X11-XFCE4 , I think than bleachbit can be dangerous with MX25-KDE-wayland session and systemd, so I have uninstall bleachbit for this MX25 flavor.


EDIT : .... even without bleachbit, I have this problem after a mx-snatshot (after reboot into VirtualBox --> yhe boot stop at smbd.service - Samba failed ),

hello chrispop99
Hibernate. The hibernate test was done to mimic your circumstance
installed xfce sysV with the hibernate checked box. It does hibernate. The machine is what is QSI posted on the 26th with minstall log.

I'm testing MX 25 Xfce beta 1 in VirtualBox at the moment, if it makes a difference. I've been looking forward to the new version.

- Installing Wine or programs related to Wine from the MX Package installer doesn't work. The log file after attempting to install PlayOnLinux is below.

- I use the Windows and Arrow keys to tile windows to the left or right of the display (or top or bottom). Currently tiling two windows that way leaves a gap between them in the center, as well as a gap between the windows and the panel.

- Is there a way to get consistency in relation to the way scroll bars display? I'll confess to very much disliking scrollbars that change size or hide. Featherpad is an example of a program that opens with the old-school scrollbars. Is there a way to change them for the entire OS?

Thanks for the hard work!

@chrispop99 can you tell me your swap configuration, and how much ram you have. I had trouble yesterday setting up hibernate on a system at work, but no trouble at home. the swap configurations were very different, so I'm wondering about yours in this case.

I'm trying to set the auto hide feature of mx-updater in a script.
I see settings are stored in ~/.config/MX-Linux/mx-updater.conf

If I overwrite that file with a config that contains hide_until_upgrades_available=true, and then reload mx-updater, it flips this setting back to false.

Is this by design?
Yes, kind of: The option "hide until updates are available" will only considered, when the "MX Updater" systray icon was autostarted.
Any other start/restart, e.g after it was closed with right-click ->Quit, and than re-/started from the menu "MX Updater", or from within "MX Tools"
is consider to make the systray icon show again. That way - with re-/start again it can be made un-hidden again.
To hide the "MX Updater" systray icon, select withint the right-click menu entry "hide until updates are available", which will be shown
only if there are no updates waiting. Alternatively select the checkbox "hide until updates are available" within the "MX Updater" settings /preferences window.
It should make the systray icon hidden, and should stay sticky, when enabled with autostart.
+++EDIT+++
A note to our fluxbox and plasma lovers:
The option "hide until updates are available" will be shortly completely removed when running KDE/Plasam in MX-25++, b/c KDE/Plasma has a different concept of handling visibility of systray icons.
In MX Fluxbox, only the right-click menu entry " will not be shown, but the function/option will be still available within the Updater preferences/settings editor. The reason for removing the entry from the right-click menu is simply this: the right-click menu entry terminates instead of hiding "MX Updater", so we will not show the non-working entry within Fluxbox right-click menu of the MX Updater.
An update of "MX Updater" will be in the repos soonish.

then you've made a manual adjusment on mx23 fluxbox, because it doesn't by default. there is no mechanism to do this without some manual intervention. you can sync the .config/gtk-3.0 folder to /root/.config and that will do it, but the usual settings apps do not do this.

Would you mind to try booting from a LiveUSB, created in two ways:

A) Using "MX LiveUSB Maker" and keep default [x] full feature mode selected, but possible select GPT under Advanced

B) Create the LiveUSB with [X] Image mode - dd-dump, use any tool you like e.g. MX LiveUSB Maker.

In addtition, in case neither A) or B) would boot in UEFI mode, can you try to select boot from file, within UEFI firmware setup (aka BIOS),
in case such an option exists on those Lenovo's . and navigate to the ESP (EFI System Partition) on the full feature mode generated LiveUSB,
and select grubx64 under /EFI/BOOT/grubx64.efi ( maybe also try shimx64.efi)

This would give (maybe) a clue whether Ventoy related or something else.

Thanks
@fehlix I can duplicate this on a lenovo T530. if I disable the grub theme, I get a text menu rather than a black screen. with the theme it's a black screen.

switching to the grub menus from the syslinux menus does not present the same problem. so possibly related to the UEFI framebuffer maybe on these older devices.

disabling the background has no effect.

I don't want to muddy the waters further. D_O has it right about Synaptic BUT I also have noticed a difference in how MX-23 and MX-25 deal with GTK4 themes... as an example on my MX-23 based system some early GTK4 Gnome apps like Simple Scan will correctly pick up the correct GTK4 theme but Simple Scan on an MX-25 base with the exact same GTK4 theme doesn't automatically select the correct theme. In those cases I've needed to use @Melber's handy GTK4 Theme selector utility and then they are correctly linked and work. As Gnome GTK4 evolves it seems less likely to work out of the box with themes that have early implementations of GTK4 support in them. It's all about libadwaita getting the correct linking to the selected GTK4 theme.

That's a "feature" of the mx-matcha themes. We added a few transparent pixels around the outside to make the border easier to grab.
At the moment the solution is to use a different theme (may I be so bold as to suggest trying mx-ease).

Is there a way to get consistency in relation to the way scroll bars display? I'll confess to very much disliking scrollbars that change size or hide. Featherpad is an example of a program that opens with the old-school scrollbars. Is there a way to change them for the entire OS_
Not one-click easily. Different apps use different toolkits. qt6 apps (like featherpad and the mx-tools) are using gtk2, the hover resize action is a gtk3 thing.

To stop the resizing and get static scrollbars in gtk3 apps you need to edit various config files. No guarantee this will work consistently for all gtk3 apps.

Add the following line to /etc/environment

Code: Select all

GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0
Add the following to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (this will override the settings in all gtk3 themes. You may need to play around with the value in GtkRange-slider-width to get your preferred scrollbar width)

Code: Select all

.scrollbar {
  -GtkRange-slider-width: 32;
}

/* Adding the buttons on the edges (if you don't need them, skip the next 4 lines)
 */

.scrollbar {
  -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1;
  -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1;
}

/* Scrollbar trough squeezes when cursor hovers over it. Disabling that
 */

.scrollbar.vertical:hover:dir(ltr),
.scrollbar.vertical.dragging:dir(ltr) {
    margin-left: 0px;
}

.scrollbar.vertical:hover:dir(rtl),
.scrollbar.vertical.dragging:dir(rtl) {
    margin-right: 0px;
}

.scrollbar.horizontal:hover,
.scrollbar.horizontal.dragging,
.scrollbar.horizontal.slider:hover,
.scrollbar.horizontal.slider.dragging {
    margin-top: 0px;
}

/* Slider widens to fill the scrollbar when cursor hovers over it. Making it permanent
 */

.scrollbar.slider.vertical:dir(ltr):not(:hover):not(.dragging) {
    margin-left: 0px;
}

.scrollbar.slider.vertical:dir(rtl):not(:hover):not(.dragging) {
    margin-right: 0px;
}

.scrollbar.slider.horizontal:not(:hover):not(.dragging) {
    margin-top: 0px;
}

Add the following to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini (you may need to create the file)

@AVLinux simple-scan in bookworm is gtk3 (v 42.5), in trixie it's gtk4 (v. 46.0). Transition happened with v 44.0.
Doesn't change the fact that gtk4/libadwaita is a pita.

Do you mean in the mx-tools app?
I'm seeing them on my mxfb sysv live-usb

See the same on xfce sysv live-usb.
OK, thanks. I must have a residual gremlin in here somewhere (will create a new user and look again)

I had a problem on the same imacs that under previous ubuntu can display grub only if "console" attribute given to grub.
Some trouble shooting steps:
A) Maybe check whether it is is or not related to the new live-grub theme by switching the live-grub to terminal console only.
Add a line like this

Code: Select all

 terminal_output console
as last line to the live grub.cfg file at /boot/grub/grub.cfg an the live usb.
It would then show grub as black/with console alike liveGrub menu. And would give and indication about either graphic-module changes,
or if not loaded mayb something with the used efi.image/efi-partition on the liveUSB.

One question, I am a newbee on the DE KDE Plasma , how you can save your setting and manage your desktop customizations in KDE ?

By hand, or via a tool like this one:
https://store.kde.org/p/1298955/
Description: This is a widget to save and manage your desktop customizations, you can save your current desktop customization and it will list all your past saved ones, you can restore the customization with just one click, also you can export/import customization to other machines.

to the file grubenv.cfg on the LiveUSB at

Code: Select all

/boot/grub/grubenv.cfg
also work? ( without the line "terminal_output console" at last line in grub.cfg)
And would it show the default background?

Yes, but no ... I do some tests actually and I have to redo for each reinstall the custom config. So it is interdependent.

no, the menu is not displayed at all.

for what its worth, the debian 13 live isos have the same behavior.

for reference, the old templates from before the grub update work on live, with the new graphic even.

lol ... via your wormhole icon ;-) , I have already done it but I prefer the advice of MX developers or expert users here in KDE Plasma 6.

Edit: konsave seams fine (but only for plasma 5 only right now) but plasma 6 has more config files.

Still think it's a damn shame that the ability to use both systemd and sysvinit was removed because that was a unique feature of MX Linux AFAIK but it is what it is, I guess.

- I use the Windows and Arrow keys to tile windows to the left or right of the display (or top or bottom). Currently tiling two windows that way leaves a gap between them in the center, as well as a gap between the windows and the panel
That's a "feature" of the mx-matcha themes. We added a few transparent pixels around the outside to make the border easier to grab.
At the moment the solution is to use a different theme (may I be so bold as to suggest trying mx-ease).
@YetAnotherID

To clarify in more detail, the transparent pixels is a feature of the mx-matcha WINDOW MANAGER (not gtk) theme, in order to make the edges grabbable while hiding the extra thickness of the edges.

You can mix and match the WM themes that you use with your gtk themes; you don't have to use the same WM theme as your gtk theme.

Go to the Applications menu and search for "Window Manager". This is the settings program that sets WM themes (among other tasks). Choose from the listed themes. You can find mx-ease's WM theme there. You may also wish to try mx-activeColorborders. This theme has grabbable borders but does not seek to hide the extra one or 2 pixels of border thickness. In this theme, the colour of the window buttons and edges of the active window follow the mouseover/selection/highlight colour of your gtk theme. Hence the name "active colour".

There are also a few other WM themes whose names include the words "thick" or "hidpi" or "xhidpi". These also have extra grabbable borders, or they are WM themes that are enlarged for people with hi-resolution displays on which normal WM themes look tiny.

To clarify in more detail, the transparent pixels is a feature of the mx-matcha WINDOW MANAGER (not gtk) theme, in order to make the edges grabbable while hiding the extra thickness of the edges.
Thank you for all the info.

QSI trimmed due to post limit.
For future reference (also to everyone), you can save these as a file and attach it in the post, that should be perfectly fine and will help get around the post size limit (which is easy to get to when posting log files). Select the logs and such you want in the QSI tool and click the Save button, multiple logs will be saved as an archive.

I can't understand it, problems with the NVidia driver depending on the init system in Fluxbox.

With SystemD, no problem with the 550.xxx and also not with the 555.xxx (AHS).

With SysVinit, the driver seems to install without problems until a reboot, and then nothing works. Black screen, no login screen, no console to log in, nothing, only a physical cold boot via the power cable.

other topc: It's extremely irritating (but it's the same with MX 23), when I save a QSI as text on the PC, and when I click "Open directory with file manager," I'm offered zzzFM as the file manager. I haven't installed that since MX 19. I never noticed it before because I've never used the function :)

On the zzzFM, if you are keeping home when installing, or copying it over, weird things like this might creep up.

Good afternoon, everyone.
Two quick questions: Those running MX 23.6 (any flavor) will have to reinstall when MX 25 comes out? Also, how can I fully back up my present system so that I can reinstall it later on on the same PC (files, software & everything)?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I installed MX 25 KDE beta1 x64, in a virtual machine on VirtualBox running on MX23.
I experienced no issues whatsoever. Installation went smoothly (I did customize disk partitions), and so did my customization afterwards.
I used MX Snapshot and that also ran flawlessly.
I am not sure if I should report this if I found no issues (yet), but still want to grab the opportunity to give the entire MX Team a warm thank you for all your effort you have put in MX Linux in general and in this new release in particular. I really really appreciate this. I think MX Linux is the best distro, honestly, with all those cool features. Some other distro's have a history and a good reputation from that history, but are not as good anymore as MX Linux is, IMHO.

absolutly fresh install on empty partition. I stopped using zzzFM in MX19 and every version change was a new installation, so there was nothing left.

Hi everyone,
hi dolphin_oracle,
hi fehlix.

I find some more info and a possible workaround about grub 2.12 not showing on some systems.

Seems to be a grub regression problem that affects noy only macs:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65503


A workaround suitable for the usb live (tested, it works),is here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/424/

Now my /boot/grub/grub.cfg begins with:

Code: Select all

#------------------------------------------------------------------
# file: /boot/grub/grub.cfg for the Live version of MX
#
# This file can get updated automatically on a LiveUSB via the save
# feature in the text menus.  It is possible to break these updates
# by editing this file.
#------------------------------------------------------------------

echo "welcome to grub"

# load defaults

and everything works.

Maybe it can be useful to unlock grub for other users with a system affected by the grub 2.12 regression.

How make it works on an installed system is beyond my possibilities, but I am confident someone else will find a way.
(It is little less urgent in my opinion: after 5 seconds mx linux anyway starts dancing.)


Hope it helps.

Very annoyingly, when placing the bar horizontal, (at the top), several programs title bars get covered up when expanded to 'full' screen, didn't use to happen before....they used to fit properly.

OK, now rereading the mention links again.
The workaround is just adding a echo "something" line at the top of the grub-cfg, which will cuase grub to load in advance the gfx_term related mods/libs needed.
Thanks

There is a difference between "full screen" and "maximized".
Full screen always does that. Maximized windows usually don't.

Here is what to check.
Panel Preferences, Display tab
Make sure Reserve space on screen edges is checked.

Workspace Settings, Margins tab
If all the margins are 0 then set the one on the edge where the panel is located to the same thickness (number of pixels) as the panel.

Window Manager Tweaks, Accessability tab
Make sure Hide frame of windows when maximized and Hide title of windows when maximized are not checked.

If none of those work then it's a bug in something.

OK, when you rebuild the template, would you mind, also update the latest unicode.pf2,
The current one seems to be something from the past:

Code: Select all

md5sum  /live/to-ram/boot/grub/unicode.pf2    /live/to-ram/boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2 /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2
2b3addeb2e123b1a1f58ecf7fc59dbc7  /live/to-ram/boot/grub/unicode.pf2
2b3addeb2e123b1a1f58ecf7fc59dbc7  /live/to-ram/boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2
07db45259bb90094aa5761d5a5c32c38  /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2

So you take latest from /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 provided by grub-common and place two copies into

Code: Select all

/boot/grub/unicode.pf2   
/boot/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2
of the template.
Thanks.

thanks. those things should be indentical between the standard and ahs isos, but it certainly gives a place to check.

can you give me the

cat /proc/cmdline

With SystemD, no problem with the 550.xxx and also not with the 555.xxx (AHS).

With SysVinit, the driver seems to install without problems until a reboot, and then nothing works. Black screen, no login screen, no console to log in, nothing, only a physical cold boot via the power cable.

other topc: It's extremely irritating (but it's the same with MX 23), when I save a QSI as text on the PC, and when I click "Open directory with file manager," I'm offered zzzFM as the file manager. I haven't installed that since MX 19. I never noticed it before because I've never used the function :)
so apparently whoever did the german de_DE translation strings translated "file manager" into "zzzFM" for some reason. the english string is just "Open Folder".

will look into it, but the button should just open up the default file manager despite what the text says.

Two quick questions: Those running MX 23.6 (any flavor) will have to reinstall when MX 25 comes out? Also, how can I fully back up my present system so that I can reinstall it later on on the same PC (files, software & everything)?

Many thanks in advance.
It is always the general advice of MX team that a fresh install is best. In particular, for users of MX23 KDE, it is especially advised that you should make a clean install of MX25-KDE, because there is a major change from Plasma 5 to Plasma 6.

To that end, the MX tool called User-Installed-Packages was created to help the user subsequently install back most of the applications they had previously on the old install. You should of course first backup your own files, data, media and app configs (don't copy over Plasma 5 configs!). There are many other forum threads on the best way to install afresh and the best way to back things up.

This thread needs to be focused on bug reporting of the beta 1.

No; all tests used a swap file. They were all done using the automatic mode of the installer apart from selecting the 'Hibernate' option.

Ok. last question. did you happen to delete the default xfce4-session.xml buried down in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-per-channel/ at some point?

going to set up a batch of test. I think their must be some interaction I'm not aware of, because all the option in tweak does is flip a switch in xfconf to display hibernate.

No.

I've just done fresh installs on four different pieces of hardware. The only thing I did outside of leaving everything at default was to check the hibernate option Two of them worked, two of them didn't.

QSI for each attached. No idea if this is any help. Will be out later, but available for more testing in 15 hours time.

Probably: transfex's translation memory will populate new untranslated strings with whatever was found on antiX transifex .
And translators may focus mainly on untranslated strings, so those auto-populate translations may stay un-reviewed, until someone spotted those.

OK no worries.

the quick system infos are perfect.

the NOT2 file has a pretty small swapfile, but otherwise the hibernate is reported as available. for whatever reason though, there is no RESUME variable set in the grub entry. I don't know if its related, but its telling.

both OK ones have resume variables set and ample swap. the system reports hibernate available as well.

The NOT1 system reports hibernate disabled. I don't think it means the switch in Xfce either. It does have a resume variable set, but also has zram swap enabled.

when you are available, and no rush, can you provide for the NOT1 system

Code: Select all

sudo cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo blkid
these will give the UUID information that is filtered out of the QSI.

THANKS!

upgrading from a mx23 to mx25beta1 preserving /home: the "second user" can't login till "chown -R" his home, that after upgrade belongs to "1001".
-- Clipped --
Veryfing the owner of the second user home I find "1001".
I don't see anything out of the ordinary here, just standard first Unix user account UID with Debian based systems. The first is always 1000, the second 1002, the third 1003 and so on.

I would surmise your second user account was not in fact the second account created on the original installation and it may have been assigned a UID higher than 1001, hence your need to change it.

When saving /home on a multi-user system, it is important to identify each users UID as seen in the original installations /etc/passwd file, then make the accounts in the same order so as not to mess them up.

I have successfully performed multi-user upgrades or reinstalls with MX while re-using /home, and I provisioned them in the Live system before running the installer. Not a single one had a problem with UID values because I copied the lines from the original /etc/passwd to a text file and referenced it as i created each user in the Live system to ensure I provisioned each user in the order in which they were originally created.

I do not recommend folk do this live because the installer will lay down a demo account and skip the account creation process, but if you are a seasoned Linux user, this is a trivial thing to work through and our MX User app is capable of renaming the demo account post install, and again, only for seasoned an experienced users.
fehlix reported this. said hardinfo2 installation was creating a user account when we build the isos, with the user being 1001. in effect, the hardinfo2 user "owned" that preexisitng home directory.

I don't like that behavior at all. if that cannot be adjusted, I will remove hardinfo2 from the default installations.

I misread fehlix's report on this. its not a user that's created, its a group with a GID in the user range. in most cases 1001 or 1002. which since a user also has a group, a preserved home folder may not match up, since permissions are on a UID:GID level, not actually user names.

@Adrian @m_pav @fehlix I think we should at minimum remove hardinfo2 from the default isos.. especially since its in debian's repos and not ours.

For those that want it, its easily installable. I'm even willing to put it in the utilities section of popular apps.

OK, seems need to work on my reporting style, to make it more clearer.
I hoped, we could adjust the hardinfo2 package in postinst or similare, to avoid this install artifact, or at least give it a system group below 1000, and not a user group,
which was foreseeable will create lot's of issues.

I tried your suggestion but the result wasn't what I was after, (for example -GtkRange-slider-width didn't seem to have any effect) so I did some research and played around (no idea what I'm doing) and after logging in and out dozens of times....

I added the following line to /etc/environment

GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0
I added the following to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Code: Select all

[Settings]
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false
And I added the following to /.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
It seemed to require not including a dot prior to "scrollbar".
As I said, I've no idea how the code should work, but this gave me the result I was after (so far). See the screenshot below.
There seems to be a bit of a grey border to the left of the vertical scrollbar that probably isn't needed, but I couldn't work out how to remove it.

Code: Select all

scrollbar  {
  -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1;
  -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1;  }

scrollbar.vertical button  {  min-height: 12px;  }
scrollbar.horizontal button  {  min-width: 12px;  }

scrollbar.vertical slider  {
  min-width: 12px;
  min-height: 64px;

  border-radius: 0px;  }

scrollbar.horizontal slider  {
  min-width: 64px;
  min-height: 12px;
  border: 0px;
  border-radius: 0px;  }
I also have a windows resizing question...
Is it an oddity because I'm testing in VirtualBox, or has my favourite method of resizing windows... right clicking on a window somewhere while holding the Alt key and dragging the window to change the size.... is that no longer a thing in MX 25?

Cheers.

The new mx-fluxbox (25.09.07mx25) came through today for MX-25 beta1 and I would very much like to get some testing of the new picom compositor setup before end of Thursday Oct 2 so I can update the Wiki help before Final.

:cool2:

To do that, create a new user and log in so you can see and use the setup.

I'm interested in a couple of basic questions:
1) what exactly is its behavior when enabled in statup? What changes do you see in window and other elements?
2) when not enabled in startup, what changes do you see on what elements when you use the new toggle key?
Ctrl Alt 0 << zero
3) when enabled by default then what happens when the new toggle used?
4) what differences do you find between the two inits? [my weak R500 using sysV just froze up]

maybe a typo "picom compositor", not?

Thanks. Was working in my vegetable garden much of the afternoon and those organic fumes must have simply overwhelmed my brain...

How would you install the MX25 (systemd) AHS Beta1 OS over an existing MX 23.6 BTRFS installation (set up as per Dolphin_Oracle's HowTo Video)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWDC4PtUpDc

In other words, how do you preserve and protect the data in the BTRFS "@Home" subvolume from being destroyed/overwritten during the upgrade to MX25, while installing the new OS to the "@/" system subvolume.

I ask, because when I tried this earlier today, it wasn't clear to me what option I should select of the 3 offered. If I were dealing with standard ext4 partitions for / and /home I would have no problem, but BTRFS presents a NEW set of issues to me regarding how to proceed safely.

I don't believe attaching any computer info to this type of question is necessary, so I haven't. This was originally posted in the "Installation" subforum: apparently incorrectly. That thread was locked. So this is a re-post to this continuing thread, as instructed.

I don't want to muddy the waters further. D_O has it right about Synaptic BUT I also have noticed a difference in how MX-23 and MX-25 deal with GTK4 themes... as an example on my MX-23 based system some early GTK4 Gnome apps like Simple Scan will correctly pick up the correct GTK4 theme but Simple Scan on an MX-25 base with the exact same GTK4 theme doesn't automatically select the correct theme. In those cases I've needed to use @Melber's handy GTK4 Theme selector utility and then they are correctly linked and work. As Gnome GTK4 evolves it seems less likely to work out of the box with themes that have early implementations of GTK4 support in them. It's all about libadwaita getting the correct linking to the selected GTK4 theme.
@AVLinux Where can I find this GTK4 Theme selector utility? I'd like to take a look at it.

That’s a great question. I’ve not done that. Will check and get back to you. Just wanted to let you know we saw your post before it was locked.

Pretty sure this will involve a function called scan for sub volumes.

On MX 25 Beta1KDE there are no flags that can be chosen in the panel instead of initials. Trying to configure it there is no flag visible. A KDE bug...?

good you have it working. This beta thread isn't really the place to discuss scrollbar theming tweaks. I'll start a separate topic tomorrow to see if we can't fine tune your css...

Is it an oddity because I'm testing in VirtualBox, or has my favourite method of resizing windows... right clicking on a window somewhere while holding the Alt key and dragging the window to change the size.... is that no longer a thing in MX 25?

Cheers.
Just tested on my xfce beta live-usb.
Alt + left click hold to drag window and Alt + right click hold to resize window both work fine for me.

Beta 1 KDE, fresh install (same disk, separate FS).
3 days with it now, all day. I'm a happy customer. Runs smoothly. Just need to fine tune Plasma 6.
I've seen the issue with Hardinfo2, not sure I'm impacted so I won't touch it so far (seems like a nice tool btw).
Thanks the team !

Interesting, so we could "overwrite" that service with our own, and make it "right".
yeah maybe. working up a test deb now.
@fehlix @m_pav test debs here

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11MOkvs ... drive_link

they will remove the existing hardinfo2 group if it has a GID greater than 1000. otherwise its the same as the old setup, with the --system switch added to the groupadd and addgroup commands.

the service is invoked on install, so the change should be pretty instant. don't know if it causes any problems.

Given that there are obviously still a few bugs to work out, I have started a dedicated thread for the mx-ease themes to avoid spamming the main beta thread.

Please post any new bugs, issues or general weirdnesses with the mx-ease themes here MX-ease theme - bugs and feedback

MX 25 KDE beta 1 - Using Dolphin File Manager 25.04.3 to connect and open to Samba aka SMB shares does NOT work. A listing of shares is visible. Using smbclient connection in terminal can be made.

Workaround - Install Nemo File Manager ... Thunar not available.

I will d/l and try Debian Trixie KDE to see if this is truly upstream from MX Linux.

Info only

KDE Firewall does NOT have a proper Samba aka SMB preconfigured rule acceptable for SMB3 [1]. There is no provision (other than terminal) to delete/edit an existing (ufw) firewall rule.

Workaround - Install the gufw app via MX Package Installer to manager the KDE 25 Uncomplicated Firewall with it instead.

1) Samba version 3 and TCP over NetBIOS. The KDE firewall's preconfigured rule adds SMB1 aka NT1 support only. Modern network appliances would not be reachable.

How is different from allowing samba though ufw? I don't see the difference...

If I try to allow samba in ufw I get the message that the rule is already set up.

UDP 137 and 138 are old, aka SMB1/NT1 Samba. New Samba aka SMB2/SMB3 is TCP 445.

On MX 21/23 the firewall preconfigured SAMBA rule adds - UDP 137 & 138 and TCP 139 & 445.

Some throw in TCP 139 in preconfigured rulesets, but >99% of the time its absence is meaningless.

I just downloaded Debian 13.1 KDE Live and debian-13.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso. The Live worked OK when run Live but fails as an installed OS. debian-13.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso also failed,

The smbclient test confirms the core MX25 KDE Samba is functional. Something in Debian-land is way off with Dolphin or its underlying bits. Well beyond my pay grade...

Hi,
I did a fresh reinstallation (of KDE) and spent some more time in testing.
  • Session storing - storing of session seems to work, the issue rises on restoring of the session.
    It turned out, that restoring of KDE-apps works fine, but restoring of Non-KDE-apps (like galculator or zim) fails.
  • KMail - kmail does not adopt the settings from mx23. You have to set everything up again.
  • Brave - seems to work. There's an option to "use titlebar from window manager" which brings in the missed icons
  • Conky - the failure on startup turned out to be a pebcak - I was able to solve it by looking at provided conkies from mx
  • Shutdown/reboot - If the session is set to "Restore Manual saved Session", the computer cannot be shut down or restarted via the main menu, when the session is saved manually. This can only be done via the command line.
    After a restart, if the session is not saved manually, shutting down and restarting from the main menu will work again.
and the qsi:

On MX 21/23 the firewall preconfigured SAMBA rule adds - UDP 137 & 138 and TCP 139 & 445.

Some throw in TCP 139 in preconfigured rulesets, but >99% of the time its absence is meaningless.
UFW sets 445 too even when I run it from Settings (although it might not show there, but when I run "ufw status verbose" I see it was set up correctly as far as I can see):

Yes, the GUI has set the user UFW rule as defined by /etc/ufw/applications.d/samba to what it has directed.

In that file the line 'ports=137, 138/udp|139, 445/tcp' is still OLD practice and NOT generally recommended (for the last many years).

A change to 'ports=139, 445/tcp' would be far more secure.

ah good! I'll see about adding it back to mxpi.

thanks for the follow through!

Should a screensaver be installed by default? I would think so. They are in the repositories but new people coming from M$ will expect it upon install.

By the way, I've been in your community for just a week, just installed the beta. I'm shocked. The linux mint forum is hostile, the admins were like firewalls, the developers almost never posted. This exchange of info here is unbelievable. And I love MX-25 KDE. I will be making a contribution for sure.

KDE/Wayland :

PiP videos under Firefox wasn't working as easily as under Plasma5/X11, so here's what solved it (under Window Management, Window rules).

(size/position, as you prefer. Here it's top right corner).

My bad. Xscreensaver doesn't work under Wayland.

Just to report my test experience:
- Starting from MX 25 beta XFCE AHS Live, appears to work fine, except repository list not showing in Synaptic. Started playing with MX 25 beta late in the game so apologize that have not yet read all of the forum reports for any suggestion on this...
- In addition to the baseline XFCE desktop I installed also LXQT on Openbox as a second desktop session selection to be picked from Lightdm. LXQT (Customized MX 25) also works fine. LXQT version is primarily to significantly reduce memory footprint and prepare for testing MX 25 beta on Wayland session with Labwc with LXQT panel. If reporting any success with MX with LXQT is not permitted as being outside of the official desktop selection, please let me know and please disregard my above mentioning LXQT. I have been MX forum user for a long time (although seldom posting) but not sure if any deviation from the official composition of MX is permitted.
- To clarify, I am working on MX 25 beta as live with no persistence. All customizations and updates, when tested to work to satisfaction, are being remastered until arriving to a perfect MX 25 image.

Hardware:
- Lenovo Thinkpad X220
- Apple Macbook Pro late 2012 so far. Will proceed to testing on variety of other models of Thinkpads and Apple Macbooks...

My summary comment is that MX 25 beta appears to be in great shape as it is now.
Thanks very much. Greatly appreciated.

Update:
Just found in the process of reading further in this thread that on Synaptic not displaying repository list that it is a Synaptic problem and not likely to be fixed by Synaptic devs...
Thanks dolphin_oracle for this insight...

Finally bit the bullet, and installed on my spare drive. Dual boot is running fine, sudo update-grub in MX23 and all is running dandy.

Updated everything but the linux-headers, you have to reboot to let that go into effect, and reboot resets the live USB, so didn't do that. Installed on hardware right after.

Installed the Nvidia driver first, because screen 2 didn't look right, as mentioned way earlier, went fine. Never saw that many sources roll by.. gee.

Rebooted, and I am seeing loads of errors roll by, suppressed in the end, but the desktop loads ok, both screens look fine.
Something with "please install native" something...

Ok went and made a video, it starts out with this. That is my harddrive. 570 EVO, 4 of them in the system

Oh I forgot to add the syslog I see... going to grab that one.

Very Late to the Party... :bagoverhead:

Downloaded and Installed MX25_KDE_Beta_1 to 4GB USB, via LUM.

Works fine, but...

I cannot find an option to load the LIVE USB with "kwin_x11" (x11), instead of Wayland.

DO's original post states:
The KDE/plasma edition received several tweaks to the settings to deal with new configuration options available in plasma 6.3.6. Wayland is the default session, but X11 is available from the session chooser on the login screen.
Since I have not installed to disk, and just using the LIVE USB, perhaps there is no login screen? I recall that after choosing to boot from the GRUB menu, it bypasses the login screen, and takes me straight-away to the Wayland desktop.

I have searched this sub-forum for "x11" & "kwin_x11", but there was only one result, which was not a topic or discussion, but a snippet from a user's QSI. So, looks like it hasn't been discussed here. Full disclosure...I have NOT read all 430+ posts.

I have searched in KDE system settings (and MX-Tweak) for default session set to X11, but no options to do that.

I have also searched the GRUB menu, Advanced Options, for booting into X11, but no options available for that, either.

I also tried setting-up the LIVE USB with persistence_root and "toram" boot option, in order to keep any changes, via updates, session settings, etc.

Alas, I cannot seem to get the LIVE USB to boot, using X11.

Perhaps this is not an option, at present, and I will have to bite the bullet (as previous post put it-- shout out to E.R. ;) ) and install to disk :exclamation:

Your thoughts?

Does logging out get you back to the greeter where you can choose the X11 option?

@dolphin_oracle ... FI : The new xnview version : XnViewMP-linux-x64_V1.9.4.deb , is now ok for MX25 too.
https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=49642
ah good! I'll see about adding it back to mxpi.
Thk... xnview is back into mxpi and working.

I have also reinstalled hardinfo2 ... and with the new version it is fine, I have now for: cat /etc/group | grep hardinfo2 --> hardinfo2 : x: 987: (instead 1001 or more into the users group area)

MXFB on strong Personal laptop with systemd:

In trying to find a LO file I'm working on, I used Menu > Other > Recent files and clicked the Update link for the first time since install. Will post crash log later once I find it, but quickly:
1) tint2 closed
2) dock went from hidden on R margin to visible in upper left corner
3) nothing else visible on desktop
Ctrl Alt Bksp to log back in, where all normal and Recent files populated.

BTW:

I wanted to test MX25-KDE-BETA1 with X11 (not Wayland), because 'I Loves Mees My Planks', and I tried installing Plank with the default Wayland session.

Although MXPI (both Popular Apps, and another try with Enabled Repos) responded that Plank installed successfully, when I tried to run it on the Wayland session, the Plank icon in the panel (default, bottom) "bopped" up and down, as if to show that it was about to open, but never opened, and then just disappeared.

So, it looks to me like, at least just running on the live USB, Plank will not work with MX25-KDE, using Wayland.

Like I said in my previous post, Plank installs and runs just fine on MX25-KDE, but using the X11 desktop session.

Can anyone confirm that Plank will not work on the KDE Wayland session?

Hi everyone,
hi dolphin_oracle,
hi fehlix.

Tested a workaround on an installed system about grub 2.12 not showing on some systems.
It works, and i can see grub graphical, but the price are few seconds more waiting for grub.

In my opinion the users with grub 2.12 not showing should be addressed to
uncomment GRUB_TERMINAL=console in /etc/default/grub and update grub (it works).

The best would be a checkbox to do it in mx tool "boot options",
to wait with style that they solve the regression of grub 2.12.



In details, my thought:
- it is not urgent, after 5 seconds mx25 starts loading anyway
- who desire a grub menu wants a chance to solve problems, graphical or console is not important
- to implement the tested workaround and stabilize it, should cost to all mx user some seconds, unfair
- maybe, one day, they will fix the regression



(If someone curious, it is again from:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65503#comment0
works with my installed system... (sleep .1) but costs few seconds.
When grub-files-mx is updated you will be requested to chose if keep the version you edited.
If you choose not to keep nothing will change until next update grub.)

I'll soon come back to grub console.

thanks for checking. I have to disagree on the time cost though. our workaround is just echoing a space to the console. you just get a cursor while the menu loads instead of a blank screen. **edit*** oh the workaround you posted included a sleep command. yeah, we didn't do that.

and we have to have something that works on read-only live systems, where the user might not be able to edit the file or provide a boot option. and the timeout there may never expire, as a key press will disable it (actually also true of installed systems).

Re: Plank and Wayland session (viewtopic.php?p=833404#p833404), a number of websites say that Plank cannot run in Wayland; so, choose X11 at login screen.

This website/post says that Plank can be run with Wayland, but need to install one package, and set an Environment variable to "trick" Plank:

https://dev.to/jeansen/plank-dock-wich-wayland-fpf

Here's what the guy says:
There are two things you'll have to do. First, make sure you have XWayland installed. In Debian it is as simple as running sudo apt install xwayland. This is a little extra package that makes it possible to run X11 applications with Wayland.
and...
Second, you must overrule Plank in detecting it environment. With the following command I could successfully run Plank and so far I could not make out any differences with respect to X11:

env XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 GDK_BACKEND=x11 plank &
I'll give those a try, and report back.

:crossfingers:

I tried the guy's command in the "Konsole" terminal:

Code: Select all

env XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 GDK_BACKEND=x11 plank &
EDIT:
And...it kinda' works: I get the familiar Plank doc, but...it only stays open with the Konsole session open (his command has it running in the background, with "plank &"). If I close Konsole, then Plank disappears.

So, I closed the Konsole session, and Plank remains on the desktop :exclamation:

But, the following remains true:

Also, Plank does not work normally:

When I open a new application, it DOES NOT appear in the Plank dock, which would normally then allow me to select to keep it in the dock permanently or not.

So, I would say this is really NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION :exclamation:

Here's the slew of error messages I got back after running the above command:

Here's an image of the Plank dock in the Wayland session (for some reason it opens with 2 Thunderbird icons. I deleted one of them):

Image


But, again, Plank does not work normally:
EDIT (See strikeout section above):
  • It is running via the open/running Konsole (Terminal) session
  • Icons of running applications are not added to the dock
  • Unclear how to add applications to the dock-- need to somehow "hard-code" them in

Bottom-Line:

If, like me, you really want Plank on your brand-new MX25-KDE, boot into an X11 session.

Unless...someone can find a more elegant solution...

Did a bit of googling on this one, found the above, and one response says "My guess is that /etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys is not required and is left over from the pre systemd world"

Could it be something was left behind from the former system having both sysv and sysd that was no longer needed on the pure sysd that is in use? (Remember, I don't know diddly squat about it, just wondering out loud)

there is plan in the systemd project to remove systemd-sysv support, part of what supplies the "drop in sysVinit replacement" (LOL), IE the ability to use the init.d scripts when a service file is not present.

so not a bug. irritating, but not a bug. we actually only have a few apps that would even care at this point, as most things in the debian repo already have service files. I'm pretty sure you can delete everything in the /etc/init.d folder from an installed system and still have a working system if you are running systemd.

I don't know if this has been addressed:

Running Live USB, MX25-KDE, Wayland session.

When waking from sleep:

Unreadable screen:

Lots of colors all over the screen
No decipherable icons or text
Saw some movement in the colors/pixels when hitting the lower left corner
Typed (blind) "Ctrl-Alt-T" to bring-up a Terminal (couldn't see it, though)
Typed (blind) "sudo shutdown -h now"
Assumed it would ask for password
Typed "demo"
Shutdown initiated, and system shut down !!!


So, is this a known problem with the Live USB (waking from sleep) ?

Thank you for the info. dreamer, until now I did it ~manually (via grsync) for KDE Plasma 6 (some hidden folders into my home user). I will try SaveDesktop.
(... And the README.md of SaveDesktop gave me some other forders to save)

An other issue here for me is:
When I make an mx-snapshot from a VirtualBox virtual machine, and from MX25 KDE wayland, the snapshot is done correctly, except that when restarting the virtual machine, the boot process crashes at a systemd "samba service", and the virtual machine can no longer restart. And I have to do each times a new installation of MX25KDE in virtualbox.

beta users will probably have to manually update that one due to an epoch used on a previous update. Remove and reinstall hardinfo2 is the easiest way.

Code: Select all

 sudo nala upgrade
There are some subtle differences between apt, nala, and apt-get in respect to upgrade modes:
Reading “man apt” or “man apt-get” does not make it as clear as “man nala-upgrade” or “nala upgrade --help” attempts to explain.

Code: Select all

nala upgrade --help
...
DESCRIPTION
There are 3 modes to an upgrade with apt.

  Only Upgrade packages, do NOT Install or Remove any packages.
         (nala upgrade / apt-get upgrade)

  Upgrade and Install NEW packages if required, but do NOT remove any.
         (apt upgrade)

         python3-apt does not support this mode, there is no nala equivalent.

  Upgrade and Install NEW packages and Remove packages if necessary.
         (nala full-upgrade / apt full-upgrade / apt-get dist-upgrade)
So hardinfo2 was "kept back", b/c "nala upgrade" will not install required new dependencies.
Not a beta thing, just a "upgrade mode" thing.
Recommendation:
Always use "nala full-upgrade", or "apt full-upgrade", or "apt-get full-upgrade", otherwise you would have kept back packages over time for no reason.

Going through the nala config, I see there is an option to turn on full-upgrade by default. Thanks @fehlix

Yes, but that would confuse you and others. b/c if set to true
nala upgrade
would be the same as
nala full-upgrade

And in you'r next help request, we would need to figure out what default's you have changed.
Untill someone would tell, with your changes of default configuration, you would now need to use this
nala upgrade --no-full
in order to run a "basic upgrade", as it is called within "MX Updater", like "apt-get upgrade".
Suggest, don't tweak on too many places.

Why would you recommend this then?

The reason hardinfo2 was held back is because iperf3 is not installed on the fluxbox beta ISO and 2.2.13 requires it.
When I ran apt upgrade, it installed that package and a popup asked me if I wanted to start iperf3 at boot.

I keep my system updated with nala and install/remove packages with MXPI.

Going from memory here, not in 25 at the moment...

edit: I seem to have lost a line. In MX updater - preferences.
There is an option there to update the kernel automatically. Something automatically in any case. I believe it was ticked by default.

I THINK.

What exactly does that do.. because I do not want kernels to automatically update on my system without my specific "you can upgrade now" permission. Just wondering because that text that goes with it wasn't clear either (to me, that is).

That is not in updater. There is an option mx tweak that is meant to be temporary and you can also just remove the linux-image-amd64 and linux-headers-amd64 packages

Ah indeed.. MX Tweak.

Just remove the linux-image-amd64 and linux-headers-amd64 packages

Oh.. you mean that thing will not be in the final, or? Because I don't understand.


edit: went and checked on 23, ticked there too. You probably explained the same thing back then as well. :rolleyes: :laugh:

Ran into a new thing upon shutdown.. it seemed to be hanging. So.. as per usual I just hit the keyboard and (well ok I do use SOME form of logic.. like the spacebar.. enter key and such).


This little count downer (upper) appeared, and the system didn't shut down till that was done.

What is that thing? Because as far as I know I shut down all running applications before I told the system to shut down.

You can see some of those other messages I mentioned before also in there, but the bottom line is what I am pointing toward.

Code: Select all

Recommendation: 
Always use  "nala full-upgrade", or "apt full-upgrade", or "apt-get full-upgrade", otherwise you would have kept back packages over time for no reason.
The reason hardinfo2 was held back is because iperf3 is not installed on the fluxbox beta ISO and 2.2.13 requires it.
When I ran apt upgrade, it installed that package and a popup asked me if I wanted to start iperf3 at boot.
Perhaps read again, what nala help tried to explain.
yes, "apt upgrade", does install new dependency, but would still kept you's system not fully upgraded.
Only full-upgrade, with either apt, apt-get or nala will also install new packages, when a removal of any old packages is needed.
And nala upgrade (if not changed the defauls) and apt-get upgrade, would not install new packages.
If you only run "... upgrade", you would over time get not "fully" upgraded.
OTOH, it'saok do upgrade in smaller steps, first upgrade, next full-upgrade, that also very handy on live-systems.
Hope that answer, your question.

@fehlix I booted over to my MX-25 XFCE beta ISO and when I ran my nala upgrade, it didn't want to update hardinfo2. :spinning:

All packages are up to date.

Aside from these two differences, both of my beta installs (XFCE/fluxbox) are running flawlessly. :number1:

edit: I seem to have lost a line. In MX updater - preferences.
There is an option there to update the kernel automatically. Something automatically in any case. I believe it was ticked by default.
In "MX Updater" "[x] automatic upgrade", would do kind of what "basic upgrade" (i.e not "full upgrade") would do, so no new packages will be installed,
just existing packages get upgraded w/o any new dependency get installed.
And kernel upgrades would requires a new kernel packages. which won't be done by auto-upgrade and nor by "basic upgrade"

Both beta installs get updated in the terminal with nala (stock config).
What I'm pointing out is that fluxbox updated hardinfo2 and XFCE didn't update hardinfo2. That's all.
No confusion on my end.

Yes, as explained, hardinfo2 was not "upgraded" to a newer version, b/c you have used
"nala upgrade"
instead of
"nala full-upgrade", or "nala upgrade --full"
and that's the expected behaviour, for package upgrades, which require new dependencies get installed.

Strange Behavior with Nvidia (Incl. Workaround)
I connected the second monitor three days after installation Nvidia driver.
a. At first, it wasn't recognized at all and was also disabled in the Nvidia Xserver settings. i activate it.
b. Upon reboot, the second monitor was displayed, but was only partially usable—not as a single, shared screen, but only as two separate ones. If you wanted to use it, you had to move the mouse over it and start the programs there. Simply moving it didn't work. This was a very unfortunate behavior that made it difficult to work effectively. No matter what settings you changed, nothing changed.
arandr also only recognized the monitor on which the mouse pointer was positioned, and different settings in the fluxbox startup file didn't change anything. Everything worked fine from MX 23 up to MX 19!
Workaround: Uninstalled and reinstalled Nvidia while both monitors were connected; it worked right away.
It still irritates me, though.

qsi now with nvidia

My idea.. leave the monitor connected, then fully reinstall mx25. Don't keep stuff, so it is a fully clean install.
In display put the monitors in their correct spots, and select the primary screen.
Then install nvidia.

That way the whole system knows from the getgo there is a second monitor.

@Eadwine Rose

A complete reinstallation was unnecessary; my workaround worked just fine.
Completely uninstall the driver, unplug the computer, restart the computer with both monitors connected, and reinstall the Nvidia driver. It's significantly faster than a clean install, especially if you've already installed everything you installed in MX 23.
I'm testing my beta as a fully functional working installation, and aside from issues with Nvidia, everything's working fine for me.

This little count downer (upper) appeared, and the system didn't shut down till that was done.

What is that thing? Because as far as I know I shut down all running applications before I told the system to shut down.

You can see some of those other messages I mentioned before also in there, but the bottom line is what I am pointing toward.
Grabbing back on this, seems to be a problem with things not shutting down properlyin systemd. I have not seen it again since that one time, but I don't spend that much time in that install anyway.

https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comment ... r_for_uid/

This one seems to have a few ideas: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/a-stop-job- ... own/157436


Won't do anything with it yet, cause I have NO idea what the influence is and I AM on a beta, after all. We'll see if I encounter this again. Once is an oops, twice is a coincidence, three times means something needs fixing, is what I say ;)

Did you install a Flatpak application on that machine? Did you use it before this happened?

No flatpaks. Did I use it? Well, no.. I just log in and admire its beauty? ;) All was closed before I shut down.

Something triggered xdg-document-portal. I assumed it was a Flatpak application, but must have been something else then..

MX 25 Beta 1 KDE

I have a cheap little USB hard drive dock/card reader dock , runs fine in 23 , does not read drives correctly in 25.
It thinks they all have bad FS and show up with double partitions in gnome disk utilities. Both partitions show up as the full size of the actual fs.

here is the information on the usb dock and card reader

An error occurred while accessing 'Local Disk', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdf1 at /media/username/Local Disk: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdf1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

I have a cheap little USB hard drive dock/card reader dock , runs fine in 23 , does not read drives correctly in 25.
It thinks they all have bad FS and show up with double partitions in gnome disk utilities. Both partitions show up as the full size of the actual fs.

here is the information on the usb dock and card reader

ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. Hub
ID 14cd:168a Super Top Elecom Co., Ltd MR-K013 Multicard Reader

An error occurred while accessing 'Local Disk', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdf1 at /media/username/Local Disk: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdf1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

I don't know if any of this helps but if you need anymore information just let me know
@Jtripper Add your Quick System Info to your post.

The color picker gcolor3 2.4.0-2 is broken. Clicking the picker doesn't do anything.
Seem to recall the same issue already existing in bookworm.

I don't think it will be fixed anytime soon.

gpick and color-picker are other options. they don't work quite the same, but they do work.

a new icon, lots of new improvements, and many translation updates."

Is there a reason you don't suggest YAD's native color picker? I use a simple YAD command from a Desktop launcher to make a standalone Desktop color picker and it's sufficient for theming stuff and color matching etc... YAD is already there in MX anyway and your Folder app uses the color picker, or does the 'Color Picker' application have a lot of extra features that are needed?

@siamhie yeah, thanks. I know color-picker but find it a bit too overloaded.
@AVLinux yep, I usually just use yad. gcolor has a save color function which is sometimes useful.

Only mentioned gcolor3 because I saw it in mxpi and thought "oh, maybe it works now". Find it strange that debian keeps a known to be broken app in their repos for so long

probably works in gnome :p

color-picker in the repo is not hte same app that siamhie describes. color-picker in repo is a Qt frontend, and yes, agree its extremely busy.

No one can predict that I'm afraid.

Of course, the more testing and reporting of any problems that is done, the sooner Final will be released.

@Melber I like Gpick because it can change your mouse cursor into a crosshair to target a specific color pixel from an image using the icon at the bottom right corner.
It then displays the HTML color code along with the name of the color. Perfect for me when I'm creating fluxbox styles.

Running MX Beta xfce ahs.
I am running into an issue with the way live-usb-maker appears to work on MX:
Running 'sudo live-usb-maker -u' from terminal, it is expected to update target Live MX from source Live MX, just like under antiX. However, instead of proceeding to updating from the running Live MX after selecting target it appears to offer only 'Copy from an ISO file', asking for location of such, therefore not allowing to update a Live MX from a command line.
Update from gui MX Live usb-maker appears to work.
