Re: New subforum

I'm sure they don't. But over the years, I wound up with 4 user accounts on this machine, 2 local, and 2 domain accounts, and I find now that I don't have access to my other accounts. It was handy to be able to login as Admin and clean the registry or install/delete apps. I also had some files and t...

Re: New subforum

I'll probably install KDE on my MX install just to see how much it is different from M12. Probably not much. I used my MX14 disk Friday to do some things on my Win 7 machine at work. I no longer have admin rights on my work machine thanks to our new IT team, so there are things I can no longer do fr...

Re: New subforum

Wish we had a M12 final, too. I have had very few issues with the beta, just trouble finding related posts. Do I look in M11 modified, or MX14? Have not needed much help, tho. I guess I stick with it because I like KDE. I have downloaded MX14 and will get around to installing on my old Dell 1150 thi...

Re: New subforum

Fantastic! That will help as I prepare to install MX14 on my old Dell laptop.

Now if we only had a M12 subforum..... :happy:

Re: No samba in SM12

I didn't make a copy of the list of the apps that were going to be removed. I remember DeVeDe, VLC, mencoder being amongst them. I was playing around with some MX repositories and updated and got rid of most of the problems, now saying only 4 or 5 files to be removed. Some progress anyway. I was beg...

Re: No samba in SM12

It wouldn't run as user either. I was looking at editing my smb.conf file, too, so I su'd and ran smb4k to see if it made a difference. It didn't. I read somewhere that mx14 actually has Samba installed. I downloaded mx14--both PAE and non-PAE versions at work, copied them to my Android tablet, brou...

No samba in SM12-Solved

I've been using Mepis since 3.4.X and I have been ever since. I have always been reluctant to upgrade to newer versions--hey, if it ain't broke then don't fix it. M11 was growing stale before I finally moved up to 8.0(IMO THE best Mepis ever). I eventually loaded M11 (Roadblock-Awesome) finally find...

Re: Adding Kuser to System Settings

I'm running M12 here and Kuser is already preinstalled. I guess WW already did that. I had to use it when I installed M12 over M8 on this machine, preserving /home partition. Only 1 hitch--going from KDE3 to KDE4, I couldn't log in as user until I removed the old /.kde3 folders on the /home partitio...
