Within the confines* for creating an avatar, what do you do so that resulting figure is the smoothest (least jagged) it can be? I assume .svg files are not allowed, right?

Re: prevent windows opening behind the top panel

You asked this question in the Xfce section so I'll assume you are running Xfce, but it helps to post your QSI. For Xfce go into the Panel Preferences and write down the panel Row size (pixels). Also see if you have Automatically hide the panel set to Never, Intelligently, or Always. I have mine set...

Re: Live USB doesn't power off [Solved]

My Lenovo T560 daily driver is affected by the shutdown issue, but it only happens with the Linux 5.xx series of kernels, the older Linux 4.xx kernels have no such issue. I finally got around to switching from a 5.xx kernel to 4.19 on my MX21 live USB. As m_pav predicted, that solved my "doesn...

Re: Installed frugal & chowned old Home. Now can't login to old FS.

fehlix Thanks so much for the detailed instructions! :number1: P.S. Also thanks to dolphin_oracle and Huckleberry Finn for their help. Jack and Jill are back in business again on both the installed old MX18 FS and the new frugal MX21. (A couple of times log out and back in was insufficient because ...

Re: Installed frugal & chowned old Home. Now can't login to old FS.

... Then (again: if you like only) you can use the "Copy/Sync" tab and copy entire home from jack to huck Yes, I think that would work. Kind of messy, but doable. What do you think of my idea about deleting the frugal install? Would that solve anything to do with the "can't log in&qu...

Re: Installed frugal & chowned old Home. Now can't login to old FS.

Check whether partition(s) got full No partitions are close to full except the Windows OS partition and that opens fine. Also: Access there using the file manager (any way, the other MX installed, or a live usb etc.) and delete the .Xauthority files I renamed them .Xauthority.old (is that good enou...

Re: Installed frugal & chowned old Home. Now can't login to old FS.

the answer to multiple users accessing the partition is to mount the partition via fstab. you can use disk manager for that. Regarding that aspect, I used Disk Manager to mount both the partition containing the Windows documents and the partition containing the MX18 documents. After that fstab look...

Re: Installed frugal & chowned old Home. Now can't login to old FS.

Major current problem: We can't log in to our installed MX18. Yes, the UIDs are tangled. On the installed MX18 partition the UID for Jill is 1000 and for Jack 1001. On the frugal MX21 partition the UID for Jill is 1002 and for Jack 1000. I really haven't done anything important with the frugal insta...

Installed frugal & chowned old Home. Now can't login to old FS.

Problems 1. There are two users on this computer, say Jack & Jill. Neither of us can log into MX18, which is on a separate partition from the frugal install of MX21. 2. Is there a way in which one partition can be mounted and accessed by two users running from a FS located on another partition?...
