Re: Booting USB-live-System: UIP: Was not able to install 82 packages

Some of the packages may not be installable because: 1. while previously installed using Popular apps tab (MXPI) or codecs installer , the packages are actually pulled from 3rd party sources [eg w64 codecs, zoom, virtualbox-ext-pack] - for these you have to install them separately, eg by using Popul...

Re: Plasma 6

Woe, that's a new feature: a haunted desktop! Maybe you need a specialist from the older desktop to get rid of it: the Xorgcist . :number1: Anyway...a newer Qt 6 could probably be backported for Bookworm, since we have 6.4.2 in the MX 21 test repo and bullseye-backports, but it's a load of packages...

Re: Plasma 6

Garuda linux forum has posts about a lot of Plasma 6 issues. I think that's because Garuda Plasma edition is very heavily customised. Essentially if you really love customising Plasma with 3rd party themes and plasmoids (including Latte Dock), you might have issues. I have a Artix KDE install that u...

Re: KDE theme wipes user's files using 'rm -rf'

If that happens, one should just restore the system backup they made before installing potentially damaging software! ;) Everyone makes backups, don't they? The article said every device mounted got wiped. SO if your backup or even timeshift device was mounted, it would have been wiped if they coul...

Re: maybe a bug

Those questions are answered in our FAQ. I just checked and the wiki link referenced in the FAQ is the wrong one, as that wiki page focuses more on what systemd is in general. Jerry3904 Here is the link on MX's approach to systemd: https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/systemd/ We seem to moving away fro...

Re: MX 23.2 normal user not allowing any root access apps to run or execute.

Just use the normal user pw for live session. I think it's demo. That's the way MX23 (and I think MX21) has been set up by default.

Announced on the blog IIRC.

Re: MX 23.2 normal user not allowing any root access apps to run or execute.

Did you check MX Tweak? A lot of the authentication in MX23 is now done with user password instead of root pw. If you want it back to the original way, change it in Tweak >> Other tab.

Re: Important Wayland- COSMIC milestones on the horizon

Personally I like having choices with my desktop and by giving users one choice is no choice at all. PopOS I can't stand and I use a sys76 device. It's a gui. It's eyecandy. It's nothing more than a window to your hardware resources and capabilities. That's it. Porting it to fedora? Great, but don'...

Re: KDE theme wipes user's files using 'rm -rf'

KDE Store issues are separate from Canonical/Ubuntu. It's for Plasma users regardless of distro.

Re: What is the name of package 'Appearance', Xfce4? [Solved]

That's not how you do it. You will need to move the theme from your home partition to

/usr/share/themes
