MX-15 - favorite KDE tweaks

[Stevo]

Code "sudo aptitude unmarkauto '~skde'" or code "su -c 'aptitude unmarkauto '~skde''does not work for me. apt-get purgre Juk wants to remove kde-standart also.

Any suggestions?

That is OK, the "kde-standard" metapackage can safely be removed along with Juk. What the unmarkauto command should do is keep the rest of KDE from being seen as autoremovable--so you should not see a huge lump of packages when you run:

Code: Select all

su -c 'apt-get -s autoremove'

when you would have seen a big group after removing kde-standard and not running the unmarkauto command.

OK did that thanks.

Here's a 1.2 GB snapshot with KDE added to xfce4.

Edit: uploaded version without broken software index.

md5sum is 203f3db0c0abcf3c64182276f10569d5

It seems you should manually reload Synaptic in the Live Session before the install to avoid possible APT problems, though I think that apt-notifier will also do that automatically if you have a Net connection and you run the Live session long enough.

I think I got most of the tweaks built into it.

The Live ISO boots by default to xfce4, you have to log out and choose KDE Plasma as the desktop with the little chooser widget in the upper right-hand corner of the lightdm greeter screen.

Have you got an MD5sum for that .iso?

Confirmed.

That's what I got, but that's for the downloaded file. Not the file that he made available. That's the reason that an MD5sum is given on the server. (or separately in a post)

That's the correct value.

Note that the installer icon is on the xfce4 desktop, but mx-installer can be run in the KDE desktop also via the menu or manual launch. This is a unofficial snapshot; I'm sure there are a few appearance problems in there still.

Going to give this a spin. Thank You .. Stevo

I'll be booting it this evening also. Thanks Stevo.
