It did.

Thanks. I have it now but was not on the NZ mirror earlier at 2000GMT.

I have the 64-bit files up at archive.org now, including the automatic torrent: https://archive.org/details/MX18RC1X64

32-bit are uploading now--I just found a switch for this upload that I flipped so they are a "test", and will be removed automatically after 30 days.

Update: 32-bit uploaded: https://archive.org/details/MX-18RC1386

Thank you Stevo... an excellent move, using archive.org!

Since we are shipping tlp by default, any thoughts about adding tlpui (thanks for the package suggestion, manyroads) to the ISO to make it easy to configure? It's quite a tiny package. I tested it, and it worked fine for a few changes I made. That would also be one more bullet point we could add to the final release announcement.

I like the idea. But it's not in the repos so there would be no automatic update. And the website says: "TLPUI is considered to be beta software."

[manyroads]

I have to say the TLPUI is very useful. It really makes tuning your PC heat burn (energy burn) quite easy. But on the otherhand, it is not very hard to install manually for those of us with excess geek genes....

Same issues as MX18b1: Color Inversion and Sound Card not found. Same manual fixes required.

palemoon-nonsse2 (in MXPI Stable repo) gets error for dependency fonts-symbola but works after it is installed (from MXPI MX Test repo) before trying to install palemoon .

"Suspend" mode isn't doing it for me.
Default screen image shows up when trying to wake, but that's as far as it goes.
No response to keyboard.
Must manually shut-down.

Btw, does anyone know how to change xflock4 lockscreen command?
Would like to set it to same as Windows (super key + L).

[Jerry3904]

In testing we have found that success in using suspend depends on a weird interaction between GPU and other factors. Can you post the output of this command as regular user:

Code: Select all
