MX Gnome 3.30 buster Respin (v.07)
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2019 3:47 pm
Here is my new year's promise, said in tread: "Here comes 2019.... duck!"
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=47593&p=475283&hilit=2019#p475283
Fully upgraded (dist-upgrade) MX Gnome 3.30 buster respin, based on MX 18. Minimal Gnome install, no Nautilus but Thunar file manager and MX tools (Xfce is removed). One of the aim is/was to test Debian buster is stable enough, which seems doing well. The transition freeze of Debian 10 is planned on January 12, with Buster's soft-freeze scheduled for February 12.
KNOWN BUGS
1) MX tool icon launchers don't work. Run commands in terminal.
su-to-root -X -c mx-boot-options
su-to-root -X -c mx-snapshot
2) Gnome Software says: "Sorry, something went wrong", but does the install.
3) Extension "TopIcons Plus" shows number of new up-gradable packages, but does not do the upgrade. Use Synaptic "Mark All Upgrades".
GRUB:
After install, grub shows: "Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid" (originally MX-18 Continuum but changed by snapshot)
HINTS
* Install new extensions:
https://extensions.gnome.org/
* List of popular extensions:

My favourite: "Workspaces to Dock".
* Change background and icons with Tweak (Appearance)
