MX Linux Forum

Thanks @dolphin_oracle , I'll give the save session a shot.

Thanks for your reply @dolphin_oracle, I just realised that my question has an ambiguous meaning.

I don't want to run MX USB Unmounter on my computer. So I'm looking for a way to stop it from starting up at boot?

I just have some old habits when it comes to the way I like to interface with my computer hardware, so I have to suffer through the days of configuration...) Someth...

@Arnox , thanks for your reply.

Its OK. I've got the photos backed up in multiple locations & most of the other stuff. Though I was < 6 months behind in my backups. When I get around to it I'll clone the partition with the lost data before working on trying to salvage it.

I still haven't gotten around to attempting to recover my files (using older backup stuff currently). The main reason is that a day or so later I lost my (unsupported) MX partition (different drive altogether - internal). What a pain. I've been shying away from a rebuild for many months now. Anyway,...

Alt + Right Click - I didn't know that, it works great on Openbox.

Thank you @Stuart_M
