MX 25 Distro Install Via USB Problem

Did get a chance to show my new wallpaper before I deleted MX25 b/c of the panic with Mint. Thought I would share this about wallpaper tho.

Using MX tools, I downloaded 2 previous MX releases of wallpaper. I went to reload the new wallpaper and they were not there. For some reason MX did not look in /media/easyt/rootMX23/usr/share/backgrounds for the new wallpaper but only in the directory Xfce located there.

Update
I think I am going to wait a couple months before trying to install MX25 again.

Just a question
When you installed MX25, did you allow it to install grub?
If so, it would have become the grub controller… if you then deleted MX25 you may have deleted the grub controlller… that may explain some of the issues in your ‘panic’ post.

Yes, I did. Afterwards, I remember there was a box during the install of MX25 that I could have uncheck that would have stopped MX from installing grub.

But b/c MX25 did install grub after the install, I booted Mint and install grub again so that Mint controlled grub.

You did the right thing.

This wallpaper is more to my liking. From MX23 on my laptop.

Yeah, that is my sort of background.
I think you can safely put MX25 back when you feel like it. Mine is going OK …no further issues, just a strange grub message.

This wallpaper just popped up from Variety–I thought it might be soothing for Paul and Neville. Sorry to interrupt the thread.

For me its looks cold. I need sunshine, palm trees beach ….. but thanks

It meets my 2 criteria

  • natural scene
  • not too much brightness

Try my Lord Howe Island image

I camped in a snow cave near Trillium Lake, as in the photo. It’s even more beautiful at dawn or sunset–the alpenglow would knock your socks off. Lord Howe Island says heat, mold, and mosquitos to me.

Thats much better, never hea4d of it before

It is temperate… like coastal NSW.
In summer you can add sandflies, spiders and ticks, but it has no snakes. The mainland has snakes too . Winter is the best time of year… mild days and cool nights.

What is that?
and what is a snow cave?

Alpenglow is the lovely rose and gold color bestowed on snowy mountains by a setting sun. A snow cave is a hollow made in a pile of packed snow large enough to sleep in. It’s similar to an igloo, but faster to construct. Quiet and comfortable to sleep in. Snow cave - Wikipedia This article begins with snow caving on Mount Hood, as in my photo.

So your photo is Oregon…I would have guessed Canada.
Thanks for the education

Sorry, I should have identified it. Yes, that beautiful mountain is just a few miles east of my house.

Oh wow… you could maybe see it from near your home.
I unerstand now why you are happy in Oregon.

Unless the clouds are low, I just have to walk out the front door to enjoy it.

We are located in the foothills of that mountain near the sea in my post in the Mountains of Mourne topic. Almost too close to enjoy view of the mountain … it sort of hangs over us like a guardian angel.

Here’s my current desktop. I think it’s peaceful enough, while still honoring my distribution, Garuda-Mokka Linux:

I hope you like it (I created the background, using the Garuda Dragon wallpaper, but changing it to shades of grey, and adjusting the brightness setting in KolourPaint, then adding the white on black Garuda ‘G’ icon in the lower-right! And most all the icons use custom images I created too!)

Yeah. Main thing is not too much contrast… it creates bright spots… and not too bright overall. color is personal.
