Re: Terminal commands for manual GRUB re-installation

(you can find that in /var/log/mx-boot-repair.log) Thank you! I didn't even realize there was a log file for MX Boot Repair that I could've referenced. I just looked in my /boot/efi directory and see that there are two MX-related directories - MX19 as well as MX19.3 What is the purpose of both of t...

Terminal commands for manual GRUB re-installation

I use the MX Boot Repair tool often to fix GRUB issues cause by other distributions ( especially Debian when it takes over my GRUB installation; for some reason the GRUB installed by Debian can never boot Arch based distros correctly).

Re: Xfce 4.16 released with new visual identity, fractional scaling, and more

(following the freedesktop.org naming specification and a fixed color palette).

Re: MX 19 Repository: The Cinnamon Desktop Thread

Hi Stevo,

Any chance you might be able to upgrade the cinnamon-desktop-environment package in the MX Test Repo? Debing Testing is now up to 4.6.1.

Thanks!
