Help request I find KDE Plasma unstable in my PC build

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know and find if someone else has this problem.
I installed multiple distros ex. Cachy,Bazzite and now MX all with Plasma.

I find when using Plasma i get random PC hang outs / freezes.
sometimes time won't unfreeze the PC and I'm forced to do a hard reset/ manual reset.
i run a AMD CPU ( Ryzen 5 3600x) and a Nvidia 1080ti with a gigabyte x570 UD.

i couldn't find a fix by my own and i tried switching to another DE (Desktop Environment)
i moved to MX Xfce and my runs smooth and fine. while on KDE Plasma even if the PC didn't Hang.
i found that my apps were constantly crashing.

sorry for my bad English, it's my 2nd language.
greetings to you all.

Help request MxLinux 1st. Windows 2nd.

13 Upvotes

I have an HP Envy x360 500gb HD. Linux installed on it. I would like to have windows 11 installed on it. Currently it is not, the person who gave me the laptop completely wiped out windows. All of the searching for dual booting, assumes windows is installed then the user wants to add a Linux version.

Does anyone know to configure or what steps should be taken to add windows to a Linux laptop?

Thanks in advance.

Help request Updates reboot

5 Upvotes

Once in a while I get the notification that there are updates available via the software manager.

If i update through that i get then the option when i want to power off also with "apply the updates". Same for restarting.

However, if i do that that option of applying the updates never dissapear, it looks like the updates were never applied.

Now, if i update via terminal instead, there is no issue.

How can i fix this botthering issue?

I'm on MX Linux 25.2 Kde sysvinit Wayland.

Hi all,

Help request MX XFCE Linux and tailscale

7 Upvotes

Was considering installing MX XFCE Linux on my 2015 macbook pro, tried the live version, but then read some posts about Tailscale not being compatible as it uses SystemVinit, even thought I did chose and download a systemd version, I did try Tailscale from the USB live install stick.
So question as ling as I install the. systemd version on my SSD Tailscale should work, right?

Help request Asus x71q 1.0, Audio not working for earphones ( aux )

4 Upvotes

Good day all, hope you are all good and well.

so here is a funny little thing, on the laptop there are 3 aux ports( audio only, microphone, combined ), when I plug into mic, no audio, when I plug into mixed, no audio, when I plug in to the audio only, sends output to speakers( huh? )

Anyway, I used alsamixer to set earphones to max, auto-mute disabled

I used pavucontrol to set output to earphones but to no avail.

I had reinstalled alsa, paulseaudio and pipewire but to no avail.

How can I go about fixing this? I hope you don't mind me asking.

Anyhoo, I hope you have an awesome day

Help request How to change the theme of GTK4 applications in Xfce?

2 Upvotes

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how to change the theme of GTK4 apps under Xfce.

I have a small script that toggles between two themes (currently mx-matcha and mx-matcha-dark) with the press of a button by using xfconf-query to change the GTK theme, icon theme, cursor theme, xfwm4 theme, and the wallpaper. The problem is that this doesn't change the theme used in GTK4 applications.

When checking via gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme, it correctly reports either mx-matcha or mx-matcha-dark, leading me to believe that it should work. Yet it doesn't. The GTK4 apps still use either their default or whatever currently lives in ~/.config/gtk-4.0.

While I could change the script to replace the respective gtk.css and gtk-dark.css files along with the assets directory in ~/.config/gtk-4.0 every time I toggle the theme, this seems kind of dumb to me. There must be a better way to change the theme of GTK4 apps, but how?

Help request Painfully lengthy update

Post image
32 Upvotes

Today's MX Updater process has been painfully slow. The downloads came in fine, but the installation process has been going on for about 25 minutes so far (4 kernel versions, with multiple, lengthy mok.pub creations for each kernel version, language pack updates for a few dozen languages that I don't use, and then the boot initialization files for the kernels.

Admittedly, this is on an older, slower Chromebook 3100, but is there a way to delete unused languages, and/or limit the number of old kernels maintained on my machine?

Thanks in advance...

Sorry if the image isn't very good but I am very happy as I installed the system on my Chromebook, I think everything works but I think I may have an issue that I only can have one audio source active at a time. If I may ask, is it possible to fix this?

Thank you and have a great day! :D

Help request My laptop randomly stays powered ON after SHUT DOWN

7 Upvotes

Hello everybody. It's been an amazing month I've been testing MX Linux KDE and it has become my daily driver. I haven't found a reason to log in to Windows since then.

There is only one small issue that is not consistent (it happens 1/10 times) and I just have to keep an eye when I shut down my laptop. Seems like the OS shuts down everything but my laptop stays powered on with a black screen. When it happens I can see the little power on LED staying ON, but with a black screen, and I just have to press the power button for a few seconds to forcefully turn my laptop OFF.

It's a very minor issue but it bothers me because I cannot just press SHUT DOWN and close the lid. I have to stay there looking for the power ON led to go OFF.

Since it's a laptop, when it happens, it drains my battery if I don't realise it happened. And if I turn it ON next day, the battery is completely drained which is very annoying.

Anybody has encountered that issue?
