Just an update:ChrisUK wrote:Firstly, great work on MX17 - used the RC since release... only 2 minor problems:
CD/DVDs aren't detected unless I load them using something like VLC to attempt to play the content. To be clear, nothing shows up in Thunar until loaded by VLC.
Also, resume from suspend is unpredictable - sometimes just get a black screen; only way around it is login to TTY1 (CTRL-ALT-F1) and then TTY7 (CTRL-ALT-F7) gets the Desktop back.
I'm not on MX17 ATM, as I'm updating Manjaro.
EDIT: I've switched to the 4.9 series Kernel as it works fine with my hardware... both of the above problems occur with the later Kernels tooCode: Select all

i think it is bit outdated ..richb wrote:Compiz is available in the MX Package installer, no need to build anything, I have been using it since beta 2 without a problem.
hmm.. actually there is difference between compiz and compiz relatedrichb wrote:Compiz is available in the MX Package installer, no need to build anything, I have been using it since beta 2 without a problem.
Isn't the compiz in MXPI actually the revived Compiz Reloaded, ie, 0.8.14? I think that was the reason behind Stevo packaging this in MXPI.vamsi wrote:i think it is bit outdated ..richb wrote:Compiz is available in the MX Package installer, no need to build anything, I have been using it since beta 2 without a problem.
It is 2.08.14. The latest stable version is 2.08.8 The 2.09 versions are listed as unstable.It is completely functional with all the goodies that are needed.vamsi wrote:i think it is bit outdated ..richb wrote:Compiz is available in the MX Package installer, no need to build anything, I have been using it since beta 2 without a problem.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompizThe 0.9.x versions up to 0.9.5 were seen as unstable/beta software.
Compiz Reloaded[edit]
A group[28] forked the Compiz 0.8 series code base and modernized it and maintains it as of 2017
