I noticed that the options during the login screen (SDDM) are not clickable. If I restart the shell from tty then the login options become clickable and the taskbar is not frozen when I log in. If it's not clickable, please check whether sddm-modified-init package is installed. SDDM has that issue ...

the affected xz packages are newer upstream versions. Since Debian Stable doesn't have the cutting edge versions, we don't have those packages. It's not that MX did anything special. And MX does have systemd packages installed. It is just that the MX default is to boot into sysvinit. People can choo...

I have exactly same issue. Creating an initial snapshot, says preparing and then nothing happens. I am using MX 23.2 SysD on BTRFS. Have also tried with SysV - same result. Timeshift is the reason I used BTRFS. Any solution yet? Please start your own thread and provide your Quick System Info (in th...

Why the bloody hell are themes (of all things) allowed to execute, or be composed of, arbitrary shell scripts in the first place?! Many scoffed at Microsoft for ActiveX and the Active Desktop (and rightfully so), and now we have the same mistakes being made here. At least Microsoft had some sense n...

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...

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...

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...

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...
