Originally snapshot does not make the copy into the system because it supposedly has no space, then I use a 60GB USB formatted in exFAT, and after the creation of the image, I move it to another USB (mx-build-live-usb), this also formatted in exFAT and of 60GB, but I got an error at the end: The th...

Haven't read the whole thread, but yes there is a "convenient application to browse inside of linuxfs". Just install the package gnome-disk-utility, which comes a with a right-click entry to open iso, sqashfs or other disk images with gnome-disk-image-mounter. sqhashfs will show up under /...

For three times and with different USB I try to copy the system and I get some kind of error, this time: What filesystem do the USB have been formatted with. In case of FAT32(vfat) maybe consider to re-format with exFAT, which allows bigger sized ISO files to hold. FAT32 max filesize limit is about...

Hi everyone, I have a laptop which has been dual-booted with Linux for several years. Every so often I decide to try a different distribution and today I decided to replace my Ubuntu Mate with MX. The plan was to install MX over the top of my existing root partition and use grub to boot into the ne...

That's right, this function was implemented with the newer version differently, in a way that it it's hides one-time only u...

Running the dpkg-reconfigure command twice did the job - I was able to turn on the option to run os-prober automatically . Good, b/c migration from an earlier MX-21 to MX23.2, can create more complicated situations. My only confusion now is that I'm not sure where GRUB should be installed. There we...

I'd really like to hear from anyone who has had a similar problem AND HAS FOUND A (HOPEFULLY FAIRLY SIMPLE) SOLUTION! May be simple one to start with: * Open terminal as normal user and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc you may see an option to "run os-prober automatically", if so turn i...

Thank you fehlix. Not the MX-Installer, but the kernel assigns the device names "sda" and "sdb" to the drives at every boot, freshly . Does this mean, that when I install with the configuration from the printscreen from post #1 (without exchanging the SATA ports), it can be, tha...

So you never real full upgrade the system?

GSmartControl seeing the usb only.

Seems kind of "sudden drive death"..

Hello, The MX-Installer wants to choose my 1.8 GB HDD as "sda" and my SDD as "sdb": Zuordnung der Festplatten.png Not the MX-Installer, but the kernel assigns the device names "sda" and "sdb" to the drives at every boot, freshly. Question? Does it also take s...
