Seriously?

1. Why do you wear a mask?

2. What type of mask do you wear?

3. Have you been vaccinated?

4. If so, why?

5. If you have been vaccinated (I have by the way), do you understand what the vaccine covers?

6. What type of mask are you wearing?

One of my RAM sticks just gave up the ghost...had a nervous-jerkdown...bit the dust and winked at me while doing so.

I now have 3 GBs of RAM on a 64bit computer... 

So did you.

Hi Ron! Compton still works. You can download the compton.conf file that I used to use here...

https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code … CKnBCY0UzX

Make the changes that you mentioned, and move the file to the ~/.config/ folder. After doing those two things, Make sure to add compton to your autostart after doing that, then log out and back in for it to take effect.

Thanks for your support, and good luck!

The latest release of MiyoLinux Openbox based on Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera) is now available for anyone who may be interested.

From the Welcome Screen and Release Notes...
______________________________________

This release of MiyoLinux is code-named 'Saluta Semplice' in honor of the late Debian-based distro called Semplice. Semplice is the distro that inspired me to become an Openbox user. There are no "Semplice tools" included. All that I've done is use the Semplice wallpaper so that I could once again be reminded of the excitement that I felt each time I booted up my computer running Semplice.

Thanks g7, for all of the work that you put into your amazing distro! You are missed.
______________________________________

So, what's new with this latest release? Not much...it's MiyoLinux.

Are there any interesting features? Not many...it's MiyoLinux.

LOLOLOL!!!

As with all MiyoLinux builds, you get a base system that allows you to install the software/applications that YOU want on your system.

With that aside, here's a condensed version of the Release Notes...
______________________________________

1. The right-click Menu is provided by obmenu-generator.
2. There is no "Power Manager" preinstalled. xset is used to keep the screen from blanking.
3. How to enable sound with ALSA if you have more that one sound-card.
4.  There is no Number Lock (numlockx) installed.
5. How to activate the firewall with UFW.
6. Screenshots go into your Pictures folder.
7. Wallpapers / Wallpaper Changer Script are controlled by hsetroot.
8. Picom is installed to handle compositing.
9. The official Papirus Folders Script is included to allow users to change folder colors.
10. The Screen Lock is provided by slock.
11. Miscellaneous Notes: several notes about different things n'stuff that I didn't include in the main notes.
12. Special Acknowledgments

The default wallpaper is the wallpaper from the last release of Semplice from 2015. That image is also used as the lightdm background and the grub screen (if you install the system). I did darken the image a little for the grub screen. However, there are other MiyoLinux wallpapers included.

The .isos are available as i686, x86_64 BIOS, and UEFI versions. If you're interested, they can be downloaded from Sourceforge. The full Release Notes are also available for download...

Have fun!

...and here are a couple of screenshots of the default desktop with the Semplice wallpaper...

Oh.

I see that now. Sorry. When I first read it, I thought you meant Modern was doing the same thing as the MATE-Minimal.

Oh dear! We went on a short day-trip yesterday, and I didn't even carry my phone with me. I'm sorry for the trouble and not responding. Thank you HoaS for giving your help!

Ron, I have a guess as to what it could be. I know it's too late (once again), but perhaps this may help someone else???

Since I'm a minimalist, I generally try and avoid packages that I don't need.

However, for MiyoLinux, I'm not as extreme (that may be the wrong word) in what I include or don't include, because I believe that it should pretty much be able to work for most users while still being minimal.

I never include acpi on a MiyoLinux system that I build, because I figure that a user can install it if they need it...you know...Make It Your Own.   However, on some builds, I have included the package acpid.

UNFORTUNATELY...

I just looked at the packages included in MATE-Minimal, and acpid isn't included. Apparently, I neglected to (aka forgot to) install it.

Now, I don't know why that is affecting your machine and doesn't affect others. I installed it on a partition, and it works fine for me without it. However, that's the only difference that I can think of.

I'm not sure about Miyo-Modern (since I don't have it available to check right now), but I would imagine that if you opened Synaptic and searched for acpi, it will show that acpid and possibly acpi-support-base are the only "acpi" packages that are installed? That's what is showing on my installed Miyo-Rolling.

EDIT: I just downloaded and checked Miyo-Modern. acpid isn't installed on it. I can only guess that it has something to do with the kernel(s) available in beowulf as opposed to the newer kernels in chimaera and ceres.

All of that to say this...

Try installing acpid, reboot, and see if that helps.

Oh.

There is no liquid core. The earth is hollow. Just ask the Lizard People.

I also believe in the Tooth Fairy, and no one can prove to me that the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist.

Also...just as alphalpha has witnessed, every magnet that I own is flat and shaped like a disc. Now I'm starting to think that the earth is flat also based upon the magnetism that I can observe.

I'm just glad the Lizard People haven't taken me captive into one of their pain-caves and bludgeoned me. Yeah...that's right. I'm talking about you Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerburg, and Elon Musk...
