It's actually an amazing Team, huh?!

Saw the word "warning" so thought you might be interested. (see attached screenshot and photo).

That's normal...just telling you that NFS daemon is not starting because no shared volumes are being offered (exported)...been there since MX-15, I think.

Stevo thank you for your response to my post http://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php? ... 01#p428504 above

I am an idiot - I simply forgot to go into the advance options and pick the older kernel at startup - both of the older ones that I installed were there as they should be.

Thank you.

No problem--I've already encountered the issue when adding older kernels myself. GRUB seems to stick with the latest kernel, but GRUB customizer has some settings to change that, including the one I use, which is to boot from the last one you chose manually.

@vamsi, I appreciate your enthusiasm in bringing up suggestions and ideas. It is always good to have input from the users, and the Dev Team does consider and discuss certain proposals and feedback. Some ideas may eventually be incorporated into the distro at a later date.

However, since there is now a feature freeze (meaning the focus is now on bug quashing the existing build of MX17 instead of discussing which programs should be added or removed from the build), I think this thread is no longer the place to discuss the default selection of programs on the MX iso.

The place to raise your proposals on what should or should not be a default program in MX can be posted in the "Bugs and Non-Package Requests" Sub-Forum here: viewforum.php?f=97

We do consider the size of the apps on the ISO, too. Removing SMTube would reduce the image size by about 300 K and the installed size by about a megabyte, which is not much at all by today's standards. On the other hand, at least one possible icon set for the package installer would be well over 200 MB in the compressed deb format.

i just loaded B3 on a 32 bit laptop: 1GHz celeron CPU w/1Gb Ram and everything worked OOTB. Great default desktop too.

Sweet job guys

Wow MX Team is really good at this no distro will run smoothly on 1 GB ram

panel has two synaptic icon after updated.
right click panel > panel preferences > items, can't find any function to remove it.
right click, no deletion for it.
right click to quit one, appears again after reboot.
how to remove one of them?

Just saw that: it's because we have changed the name of MX Apt-notifier to MX Updater, but MX Apt-notifier is still listed in the Autostart. A temporary bug.

[vamsi]

And also when there are no updates in MX Updater when we click on the icon it is not opening instead of synaptic package manager is opening why ??

Thanks..
