Re: Observation: MX-23.2_x64 vs MX-23.2_x64_ahs (Arduino-IDE issue: Java?). SOLVED

Definitely a weird one. Did the Ardrino-IDE install routine ask any questions during its install phase that may have been overlooked when installing one or the other setup?

Re: Viewer for .avif images (SOLVED)

Apparently, gthumb will display a thumbnail for an avif image only after it's been opened once, which is not at all indifferent to all other systems that need to generate thumbnails for images never opened before that just happen to be in a brand new image format. Anyone care for an Apple, this is c...

Re: Lucky Backup slow on ext4 flashdrive destination [Solved]

Two things come to mind. The first, it's a SanDisk and I have never seen or had a SanDisk flash drive that has any level of performance much above the equivalent of a 30cc pitt bike on a highway and I have had the misfortune to have to deal with many customers asking me to rescue their data from one...

Re: please advise best way to update from MX 19.4 xfce

Are you using the external drive as your TB message store or are you using TB normally and backing it up by copying the hidden /home/<yourlogin>/.thunderbird profile directory to the external drive?

Re: How to record screen MX 23 KDE

Nothing wrong with mkv files, they're a container after all and ffmpeg can easily change them to any supported format. We don't ship ffmpeg by default in the Xfce and Fluxbox versions and I personally think we should, but that's not my decision to make. I don't know if it ships with the KDE release ...

Re: Best machine, and Intel or AMD?

I will second all those who say that Lenovo Thinkpads & Thinkbooks are great machines, and yes, top end pricey. I have an 8yo Thinkpad T560, both batteries are still punching well above their weight, 88% of their original capacity for the internal and 84% for the external. Acer Travelmate P Seri...

Re: How to overtake printers

That's your choice, but it's the best way to achieve a fully ready to go live ISO. Here's two examples from my own experience. 1) My Wifes Laptop will not run any Linux system whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, until a specific GRUB code is added, plus she has some specific things she needs as a S...

Re: Document Scanner asking for root pw [Solved]

So I finally got around to the reinstall and it's no different, though it was necessary for me to do this so I am no longer running any pre-release builds, even if it was just a week ahead. I had the opportunity to take my self-build to a new level, then used the snapshot from live to get the final ...

Re: How to overtake printers

So you mentioned the persistence_static, so we'll go with that one. When you have all your "ducks in a row", having booted with persistence enabled and all your printers work while running live, then I suggest you do a manual save using the MX Remaster tool which will ensure the persistenc...
