Re: How to install MX in multiboot with separate swap,tmp partitions
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.

Re: How to install MX in multiboot with separate swap,tmp partitions
On regular MX Xfce, one simply needs to open MX Boot Options from the Whisker Menu, or just hit the menu and type boot. Provide your password then click the long button for Manage UEFI Boot Options, drag or move the MX Grub loader to the top. With AV Linux, its likely it'll be there, but not sure ab...

Re: About to give-up and move to uBunto Studio
+1 to what Charlesv said. I too use Linux to fix Windows machines because it reveals elements that Windows hides under the daftest places, and its superior when it comes to diagnosing and proving hardware issues, taking the guesswork out of the mix that Windows only techs waste enormous volumes of t...

I have reported on issues with requiring root permissions with scanners, tracked it down to the ahavi daemon not running.

Re: Live USB boot issues
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...

Re: Lucky Backup slow on ext4 flashdrive destination [Solved]
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...

Re: failed to eject Sony Reader PRS-T3 [Solved]
If READER is writable, using regular file browser actions, then you only have to ensure no files are active when disconnecting the drive. If the reader can only have content uploaded through a specific tool like Foliate, then it adheres to a specific transfer protocol outside of normal drag and drop...

Re: Strange occurence with File Managers
Wow, what a rigmerole, and its not the first time I've seen this because I have encountered it myself, thankfully, the offending file was easily found and sorted, but it was ~10 years or so back, possibly more. IIRC, I recorded my find it either here or in the old WW Mepis Forums. The issue I experi...

Re: New SDD WD with uncorrectable EEC sector counter [Solved]
Originally posted in the wrong thread, sorry if I'm late to the party. To start with, you can use gsmartctl (preinstalled) to use a graphical tool to examine your drives SMART Data, but the command line tool will make it easier to post the output here if you need to. The following terminal command w...
