I've made a shutdown utility to use on future versions of Miyo.......
My question is, for those who use Suspend, do you prefer the screen to be locked when you Suspend?

Just found this, and "No" - I don't want screen to be locked. But, isn't that an option in power manager?
Keeping the option, sounds good to keep smile

Sorry, there are some things different on xfce compared to Mate.
Good luck, Rolf

Yep ~ your right. I just figured Xfce being the default - ah, forget the rant.
We did what we could for today, I'll leave this install alone for now, I sent info
to the ML and might just reportbug.
I'll install on other laptop partition, and look for anything different.

Thx again!

And SOooo...
Just installed gparted, which does not respond as well.

apt list --installed gparted
Listing... Done
gparted/testing,now 0.32.0-2 amd64 [installed]

If I get more time, I'll check its desktop file also.
I see a reinstall in my future.  smile

Well, no joy after reboot either...both menu entry's fail to respond.
I opened task manager to see any action from ticking either one - with no response.
Guess I'll wait a day, maybe do a reinstall..?  yikes

Weird, that didn't work ?!

apt list --installed synaptic

synaptic/now 0.84.5 amd64 [installed,local
apt list --installed bleachbit

Both /usr/share/applications/ '.desktop' files, just tweaked:

Why my reversed pkexec entry with a dash? hmm

Hello rolfie,
We are close, in using the iso fsmithred rebuilt - with different install methods.
Should be somewhat similar & maybe easy to spot differences.. huh?
as requested:

apt list --installed policykit*
Listing... Done
policykit-1/now 0.105-25+devuan1 amd64 [installed,local]

and..

apt list --installed libpolkit*
Listing... Done
libpolkit-agent-1-0/now 0.105-25+devuan1 amd64 [installed,local]
libpolkit-backend-1-0/now 0.105-25+devuan1 all [installed,local]
libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0/now 0.105-25+devuan1 amd64 [installed,local]

libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0/now 0.105-25+devuan1 amd64 [installed,local]

Greetings xinomilo,
Thanks for the "very helpful", show of difference there...a "dash" in mine - none in yours, AND reversed!
Did you use that "rebuilt" mini iso?

mini.iso             07-Feb-2019 12:06          47185920

Same here, thats where I started looking & tweaking also - with no success.

I'll remove that dash on both and test.

Fresh Install: Beowulf mini iso -feb2019, Xfce (default settings).
    Not vm/vbox, dell laptop
    Updated, using only beowulf repos.

Installed Synaptic & Bleachbit (with 'as root'), rebooted, ticked both to test for permission/password request,
- with no response from either. Task Manager shows no attempt at starting.

Both '.desktop' files have:

Exec=synaptic-pkexec
TryExec=pkexec
Exec=bleachbit-pkexec

And 'only' from ticking bleachbit (as root) menu launcher:

Failed to execute command "bleachbit-pkexec".
Failed to execute child process “bleachbit-pkexec” (No such file or directory)

Normally I'd change it to 'gksu', but figure to fix/correct beowulf version pre-approved way  wink
*Both do start/run from terminal 'sudo', but I hear thats seperate from pkexec.*
Bug?

I just came from reading your website when I typed...saw your mention of cd - and did not even check size of iso! lol
Yeah, I'll use usb & spare partition to 'finally' check out your derivative. No virtual machine.
And I'll be ready for that preview beowulf iso!

I attempted an install using mini.iso (from netboot) recently and encountered an error during the install, something about kernel mismatch. The error was serious as presented, that the resulting install may not boot.  And sure enough; the installed os would not boot.

No kernel modules found. Using ca & us mirrors.
No disk drives found. Aborted attempt for now, since I can't get passed that!

What I ended up doing was installing ascii netinst.iso, keeping the install minimal- no desktop.  Then immediately upon 1st boot upgrading to beowulf.

That sounds easier then my past upgrades yikes

You may have noticed up there abit, it mentioned:

----[ I2P related features ]----
	 starti2p - Start i2p services
	 stopi2p - Stop i2p services

I ran the command,  and it opened Firefox with it's 'page full' of options & uses.
Worth checking out, so head over to their informative website &
