MX Linux Forum

@all: After some lower-scale MX-17.1 tinkering, and after having installed some updates from the MX Test Repo , and after having experienced some unexpected power outages due to construction work at the office, I seem to have partially broken the Xfce desktop environment of my MX-17.1 test machine s...

UPDATE: @Stevo: Some additional information on this topic: I noticed that https://pkgs.org/download/bluez-alsa lists a number of Linux distributions where bluez-alsa is available , three of which are current (OpenMandriva Lx 4.0, OpenMandriva Cooker, Slackware 14.2) . There's also a debianized bina...

@KoO: Thanks for the valuable input. Greetings, Joe

@Eadwine Rose: Just a general request, your posts are a LOT more pleasant to read when you leave all the boldings out. :smile: "Boldings" enable the reader to get an overview quickly . Convention for correspondence in professional working life. Talking about it, setting text in capital let...

Thanks so much! A (hopefully) small splash for our beloved aquatic mammal, but a giant step for a clean MX ocean :n...

@richb: The ranking system was changed. Number of posts is a somewhat meaningless measure not reflecting quality of the posts. These are the ranks. Therefore the nomenclature was made more neutral except for the Leadership Team which is specific to their function. Thanks for the information. Two hin...

@all: I am looking for some web page that would explain the member rank system applied at this MX Linux board. Some time ago, when my post count had reached 1000, I noticed that my profile had been upgraded to "Forum Guide" (which in a way I found flattering :happy:). Presently, a number o...

@Stevo: It says there's two suggested ways to configure it during the build...which do you think would fit MX? $ ../configure --enable-aac --enable-ofono --enable-debug or if you intend to stream audio from a Linux distribution using PulseAudio (see this issue) $ ../configure --enable-aac --enable-o...
