MX-23_fluxbox_alpha2_x64 released for testing

[Jerry3904]

Corrected, thanks!

[kobaian]

Choosing in MX-Tweak the debian-blue fluxbox-style destroys the wm. I am automatically logged-out and cannot login back. I have to go to tty and change the style to another one manually in the init file to repair.

[ceeslans]

The issue is with the x11-fonts that are set in the /usr/share/fluxbox/styles/debian-blue config file (for window-, menu- and toolbar fonts).
If NO font is specified in the ~/.fluxbox/overlay file, then debian-blue style will try to set the terminus font, which obviously is not installed. You could copy the updated font settings over from the 'debian-dark' style. Or just ignore it - for now...
Perhaps @Jerry3904 can correct the issue for the upcoming beta?

I just noticed when updating packages with MXPI that we are switching to nala (which is fine by me) but at the end shows creating the menu twice. Is this normal?

@siamhie @fehlix seeing the same thing. monitoring htop I think its actually being triggered twice when ANY operation is done from nala, not just updates.

[Jerry3904]

@ceeslans Thanks. DO has just suggested on slack that we install xfonts-terminus, and now I know why. I'll add it to mx-fluxbox as a dependency unless someone like @m_pav has a better idea.

EDIT: done and uploaded

Not sure, what you are saying..
I was not aware that nala is now used within "MXPI"?
Also don't understand what menu is showing what twice?

@siamhie @fehlix seeing the same thing. monitoring htop I think its actually being triggered twice when ANY operation is done from nala, not just updates.

note sure about the "same thing". May be some one could explain in simple terms what this is referring to.
Re nala processes: it puts at least one process int background terminal to capture libapt's output for further processing in order to present it "nicer" and it seems to be running twice.

[dolphin_oracle]

sorry @fehlix I missed that the report was on mxpi.

I think they mean apt-notifier. fluxbox menu generation is triggered by /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00exectmp whenever apps are removed or installed. nala triggers this twice in a row. It’s not really an apt notifier issue.

@fehlix I can take care of this in the mxfb-menu-generator script I think.

[siamhie]

I did. Sorry about that.

This must be something new. I reinstalled 21.3 a couple of weeks ago (from ISO) and now use apt-notifier instead of manually updating using nala and don't recall this happening before.
