Re: please advise best way to update from MX 19.4 xfce

Are you using the external drive as your TB message store or are you using TB normally and backing it up by copying the hidden /home/<yourlogin>/.thunderbird profile directory to the external drive?

Re: How to record screen MX 23 KDE

Nothing wrong with mkv files, they're a container after all and ffmpeg can easily change them to any supported format. We don't ship ffmpeg by default in the Xfce and Fluxbox versions and I personally think we should, but that's not my decision to make. I don't know if it ships with the KDE release ...

Re: Best machine, and Intel or AMD?

I will second all those who say that Lenovo Thinkpads & Thinkbooks are great machines, and yes, top end pricey. I have an 8yo Thinkpad T560, both batteries are still punching well above their weight, 88% of their original capacity for the internal and 84% for the external. Acer Travelmate P Seri...

Re: How to overtake printers

That's your choice, but it's the best way to achieve a fully ready to go live ISO. Here's two examples from my own experience. 1) My Wifes Laptop will not run any Linux system whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, until a specific GRUB code is added, plus she has some specific things she needs as a S...

Re: Document Scanner asking for root pw [Solved]

So I finally got around to the reinstall and it's no different, though it was necessary for me to do this so I am no longer running any pre-release builds, even if it was just a week ahead. I had the opportunity to take my self-build to a new level, then used the snapshot from live to get the final ...

Re: How to overtake printers

So you mentioned the persistence_static, so we'll go with that one. When you have all your "ducks in a row", having booted with persistence enabled and all your printers work while running live, then I suggest you do a manual save using the MX Remaster tool which will ensure the persistenc...

Repeat offender, Acer Swift SF314-41 boot issue

Referring to a post I made on the 31st Jan 2023, having had to deal with this issue again today, I'd like to postulate a superior method of making this machine work with this dumbest of dumb NVME EFI boot implementations ever to be used on a laptop. https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=711500#p...

Re: Document Scanner asking for root pw [Solved]

:duh: Well, how about that, I had totally forgotten that I reloaded my laptop before MX went final, but, it was not an alpha, it was a beta release that I built specifically for this machine and despite the dating appearing to be from the alpha phase, it was barely a week before the final. This is b...

Document Scanner asking for root pw [Solved]

Am I the only one seeing this or has it been seen before? I did a search but didn't see any relevant results. I'm the only user on this machine and my user acct is in the scanners group so I don't see why this would be coming up, unless it's something connected to my recent kernel upgrade. If anyone...
