AV Linux MX Edition is here!

[fehlix]

liveusb maker 2.41.17
check md5 for initrd.gz , check md5 for linuxfs and check md5 for vmlinux

live usb maker took 22 minutes and 53 seconds

then a popup with the text
Error encountered in the LiveUSB creation process. after that i try to boot in other machine to, Nothing that machine hangs after selecting usbdrive (enter).

Oops, I can re-produce ...
Seems the GUI-LUM does not ignore the error, and you are right it does not write the
extlinux loader needed for BIOS/MBR booting.
Here the fix for now:
Do open a terminal within the downloaded folder of the ISO
and run the CLI-LUM (live-usb-maker on the command line)

Code: Select all

sudo live-usb-maker --force=nomd5  -f AVL-MXE-2020.11.23-xfce4-amd64.iso

alternatively just run without "--force=nomd5"

Code: Select all

sudo live-usb-maker  -f AVL-MXE-2020.11.23-xfce4-amd64.iso

It would give than an option to ignore the internal linuxfs.md5 sum check:

And now it should boot.
BTW 23 minutes is a indication of a bad USB-3 stick,
it took here only 4 minutes .

Will do that Thanks felix.

They do wear out, you know. Flash memory has a finite number of times it can be written to and read from, then it stops working. I had an 8GB Kingston Traveler USB stick that I bought in 2009 and used to test-drive and install distros up until 2017, when one day it suddenly stopped working. I couldn't boot from it, writing to it took a very long time and eventually stopped working altogether, and reformatting it didn't help. I had to throw it away and buy a new one.

What does AV stand for? Audio Visual? I've never heard of it and reading through the thread I felt like everyone was speaking in a foreign language.

Hi Sparky!

'AV' is for Audio Video... this is a Respin 'Studio in a box' workstation for producing Audio recordings, doing Video Editing and Photography and Graphics work on top of being a well-rounded daily driver.. Half of the complications in this thread are some ISO teething problems that fehlix has been extremely helpful in troubleshooting and fixing... It's normally not this encompassed in geekspeak..

@Be OK,

Please just sit tight, fehlix is working out some final details to get things working better and there will be an ISO update ASAP... Nobody had used MX-Snapshot with a full preempt RT Kernel and we discovered some quirks that needed sorting out.

@JayM yes i know but this one is not much used, i used DVD mostly.
@AVLinux o yes rc2 runs on that machine fine so i can make music :) All other computers here run MX.

Downloaded from your website link ByteMark Mirror and all good. Installed and first look is VERY Impressive.
Nice clean layout and loaded with audio goodness.
Congratulations. @AVLinux.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there is a way to keep that System HUD on screen after installing it (the one that appears on the AVL virtual boot at the right side of the screen)

does anyone knows how to do it?

[AVLinux]

Hi,

Are you referring to the 'Conky'? If so I have it set for the Live session but I don't assume the User necessarily wants it there after installing so I leave it up to them..

To enable it go to Menu-->Accessories-->Conky Manager and select which Conky you want to use, (there are many to choose from) if you want to restore the default one then select 'AVL-MXE-Diehard-Basic'
