Re: Question about installing new Kernel packages (header + image) [Solved]

You can remove. It will still be in the linuxfs until another remaster.

This is exactly what I do with my respins. They are all built on live usb.

Re: maybe a bug

FYI antiX is systemd-free. There is a bit of overlap with mx with some tools and the antix live system

Good luck and happy computing.

Re: maybe a bug

Those questions are answered in our FAQ. I looked and it says that systemd is not the employed 'init' utility. What will stop working if I uninstall systemd, period? Where can I unsubscribe from the forum if necessary? Thank you. lots of things will quit working if you simply remove systemd. anythi...

Re: Question to Live kernel updater [Solved]

What difference does it make between just installing the new kernel from the MX package installer and then remaster to then also use the live kernel updater is it just so it also works in non persistent mode or something or is there more to it? In theory it may work if the new kernel is only on the...

Re: Question to Live kernel updater [Solved]

in order to boot the linuxfs file system, the kernel actually lives outside it. so the kernel vmlinuz image and the initrd will load everything else. live-kernel-update updates the vmlinuz file to whatever kernel you have inside the remastered linuxfs file.

Re: Has anyone tried MX-Snapshot on Debian or derivatives?

snapshot doesn't actually care about the init system at all. but our default mx-iso-template is set up for MX, not other derivatives. the templates are not generic. antiX has its' own as well. I've used snapshot with straight debian, but I don't think I've bothered on debian 12. Our user setup shoul...

Re: maybe a bug

I just noticed in the above, a few lines above, systemctl . What is this? Systemd???? don't get too worked up about it. inxi just checks for the presence of systemctl. which is installed, because systemd is installed. it also shows you are booted up with the default sysVinit boot mode. despite what...

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

the live session is not "locked down". the demo account is set up exactly like the user account created by the installer. so if you were having issues, there was a problem. you can see if the authentication agent is actually running with ps -aux |grep authentication and look for a line con...

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

presuming you are still running Xfce, but for some reason the polkit-authentication-agent appears to not be working. there is a Session & Startup autostart entry for this, so make sure its still enabled.

Re: Toggle Xfce Power Manager [Solved]

copying the xml files would not likely work very well without killing xfconf and the applications that read them. the files aren't read constantly, they are read at application start up, and the values maintained in memory and periodically saved back to the xml files when there are changes, but the ...
