The only correct answer for you is to disconnect the eDP cable. Whether you do that by opening the chassis or removing the display Bezel to gain access to the display panel is up to you. I would opt for the latter because once you have access to the display panel, you can remove the 4 screws holding...

Xsane does not list the sane package as a dependency and it has its own UI so you could try that too. I actually prefer to use Xsane over Document Scanner for graphics because it give me far greater control. Just be careful when previewing a page, if you make a selection in the preview, then make an...

Just a few clarifications. So, after installing the new kernel, use Boot Options in MX Tools to make this kernel the new default and reboot. Just a FYI, this shouldn't be necessary as the newer kernel will likely already have been set as the new default. If a user already had more than one kernel AN...

Sorry, can't help with LVM. It's a pretty cool system and I played with it for a bit, but that was a fair few years back now. Since then I have simplified all my installs and settle only for 3 Linux partitions, standard / with encrypted /home and swap these days.

On regular MX Xfce, one simply needs to open MX Boot Options from the Whisker Menu, or just hit the menu and type boot.

+1 to what Charlesv said.

I've had the odd one or two that failed after some of the fairly big updates, and by big, I'm talking DL sizes like 500MB+ and typically, when a third or fourth kernel update is in the mix. I don't recall ever losing one to anything other than updates where a kernel was in the mix, and it was always...

Any reason the Repos: section to be missing from your QSI ?

That's a real good find, but it begs the question of what process did you use to make the ext4 partition in the first place? I can not recommend our own MX Format USB tool because it does away with all these little errors and ensures the freshly formatted devices are properly cleaned before laying d...
