MX Linux Forum

I probably found the cause: my hardware brightness works with nouveau and acpi_backlight=native . The values are set in /sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/ , but /etc/init.d/brightness only covers /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/ and /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/ . Good catch! Hardcoding th...

yeah just take ownership and/or delete the file. the filename you present isn't one of our standards, but many of the apps do have .conf files that get generated. I don't know why a root owned file is present in your home folder , it shouldn't be. its probably just storing geometry information I be...

When copying large files, the system becomes slow, plus the transfer speed is low compared to windows 10. Sorry for the delayed response. FWIW: There was a problem in the Linux kernel a number of years ago (about 15) that had these same symptoms. Here is a kernel bugzilla thread that dealt with the...

If I'm going through the trouble, I'd also like to make it as easy as possible for new users to get a "coming from MacOS" setup. What is the community feeling about pull requests which add config items in this regard? Stuff like switching alt/ctrl/meta locations, putting the close button ...

@CaputAlista, what is the actual error message? Error messages are not window dressing. They are designed to help us pinpoint, diagnose, and fix the problem. If writing down the error message is too much work, another option is to take a picture of the screen with the message on it and post the pict...

Try geekbench 5.

All the changes I had made in the demo account, the new user i had added, the additional software I had added - unfortunately nothing of the changes I had made in the live USB session with the other USB stick was reflected in the new Iso I created using the clone function. Must have done something ...

I suggest using a large rootfs but no separate homefs. Of course, always run static root persistence. If it were me, I would leave plenty of empty space on the device. You can use it directly via the ~/Live-usb-storage/ directories (which are on the encrypted partition). You will also want space ava...

My dd command has not locked up other sticks that I've made in the past (they weren't MX though). If by "locked up" you mean read-only then you might be mistaken. AFAIK using the "dd" command from an iso file always creates an iso9660 file system on the usb device which is inher...

I would like to know how I can re-install a MX-iso over a previously made live USB with persistent. But keeping the used storage vfat partition. (Before I do something wrong). I would like to use the Live-Usb-maker gui. I don't think the gui version of live-usb-maker (LUM) has this feature (someone...
