Re: What about a regular MX Linux with AV Linux config?

@pianokeyjoe GMaq already posted why a metapackage would be unfeasible. Please see post #3. @GMaq Just an aside ... I wanted to download some of your Hydrogen Drumkits from Bandshed but my browser (FF) warned me about an insecure connection. I got it.. ah well.. I will just keep using and tweaking ...

Re: What about a regular MX Linux with AV Linux config?

Finally there is a powerful and most customizable Linux distro that allows all my computing dreams to come true! MX LINUX!! Yes.. I...

Re: MX 23.2 normal user not allowing any root access apps to run or execute. [Solved]

MXRobo Yes indeed! I read those. I honestly just forgot about the issue with gdebi with MX21/23 and installed it to install my db files for cde-desktop,etc. I found out real quick why gdebi-gtk is no longer installed, the interface will open up normally and you even get the pol kit window to show u...

Ah well, I have been really really...

Re: MX 23.2 normal user not allowing any root access apps to run or execute. [Solved]

Well I checked the downloaded iso file and it all checks out with the checksums. I decided to dd the iso to usb stick and it all worked fine. I tested the installed system that I was able to install with the DVD and it works fine. I tested the live DVD 3 times and 3 times the pol-kit crashes. Someti...

Re: MX 23.2 normal user not allowing any root access apps to run or execute. [Solved]

To conclude, this issue is not solved, and I think I saw several other forum posts about users complaining about this same issue but I never really got an answer as to why in the live session it is locked down Old-skool UNIX style, but installed, it is not? I know this is not unique to only me. The ...

Re: MX 23.2 normal user not allowing any root access apps to run or execute. [Solved]

Just use the normal user pw for live session. I think it's demo. That's the way MX23 (and I think MX21) has been set up by default. Announced on the blog IIRC. Good morning. I finally was able to install MX23 last night and during the installation process, the installer section for creation of user...

Re: MX 23.2 normal user not allowing any root access apps to run or execute. [Solved]

Did you check MX Tweak? A lot of the authentication in MX23 is now done with user password instead of root pw. If you want it back to the original way, change it in Tweak >> Other tab. Hi! Well, I never got that far. I booted the DVD and instantly tried to click on gparted to setup the drive first....

presuming you are still running Xfce, but for some reason the polkit-authentication-agent appears to not be working. there is a Session & Startup autostart entry for this, so make sure its still enabled. The polkit agent for gnome is checked as on in the sessions and startup settings. Now a cor...
