MX Linux 19 Installation Walkthrough

Where do you suggest anyone to go to for custom built laptops?

Just a doubt how to make the user and adminstrator account without password as when I try to install them that way it's asking me admin even after I have kept it blank while installing

Why should I not make bootable DVD, to get live and proceed to HD Install?

help, i cant install it from the live media :( there is no options on the screen and i also have no taskbar

I had a problem when installing it, when i reboot it doesn't boot the os, rather it says that the efi partition create by the installation is locked by some protection protocols... Does anyone know what should i do?

What was the default font did you install

Thanks for a detailed installation process. Very helpful to clarify some of the obscure options. Great job indeed!

There is no download link to MX Linux 19 as you said in the video.

thanks

is that sticker or laptop

Curios how much longer he installation might have taken on a typical HD (rather than for an SSD). And what was your download speed (more or less) for this installation?

Can someone pls help me. It fails the installation and says ,,failed to set user account passwords,,?

I'm watching this while trying out MX Linux, I think I'm going to at the least have it to dual boot with Mint but if it's faster on my ancient laptop I might just go with it. I really like it so far.

When I click on the internet applet all that pops up is "ethernet connection" no wireless

bonus points for showing the live-usb persistence setup. if you installed applications on the running live-usb with persistence, those will carry over to the installed system on any pc you run that live-usb on.

Hello, I will also try to install this Linux on my old Laptop. Could you please tell me, is it going to ears all stuff only from my C partition or from both C and D partition? Thanks very much in forward.

I just tried to install mx but it's stuck idev done what to do pls help

Hey there, a big THANK YOU for your help. I was facing knee deep trouble in installing MX Linux but your video made it child's play for me. Keep up the good work.

Peppermint is streets ahead of Mx Linux. More friendly in installation and use, and a user-interface comfortably close to that of Windows. I upgraded three old Pentium 4/Windows 7 machines, and am very pleased.

Good tutorial, thanks. I am stuck in the beginning (it crashes after pressing intro in the default line, "customize boot"). Looks like it only works if I go to "Advanced Options" and then go thtough a CLI install. I could do that, but am not so comfortable. Any hints? Thanks

Does it work in a MS Hyper-V VM?

Cheers mate(s)!
I have Mint installed on my old laptop, just 2GB of RAM. I dont know why, but online videos not running well (sound and video are not very well tuned). So im planning to switch to MX Linux. Is he light enough for my machine?
TY

my computer doesn't allow me to boot from anything, it just turns on right away

I changed from Mint to MX. I am no expert, but have the feeling, it is running faster. Especial on my old Netbooks.

I installed on Lenovo W541. I am facing issue with dual external monitors, it is not detecting/working. Please help

Hey....., that was cool, what did I do wrong..? I have Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop, dual-boot Windows 7 & Linux Ubutun-Mate'. I was having problems so I deleted the ubuntu-root partition and Downloaded MX-19 Linux. Using Etcher I made the live drive on a 32 gb Scandisk USB drive. Inserted liveMX, rebooted pc. Checked operation in Live mode, it was good, then I installed. I basically did what you did w/all the text questions, it completed and I rebooted again. Bios came up I selected Mx-19 Linux... it also showed my Windows 7. All of apps are showing DEMO...?

Great video! I like how you use real hardware.

Hello. Did you disable secureboot on your System76 Lemur before plugging in the flash drive?

Great tutorial video, but must say the music needs to be a little softer. At times, it almost masked your voice and it was difficult to understand what you were saying. Maybe it was just me, but the volume was a tad too high. Thanks.

im pretty sure mx linux has a script built in that automatically pings the distro watch page after being installed

TY TY TY for showing the entire process on a real machine - no VM.

It's a LTS version or not?

Perfect tutorial. The best teachers answer "why" before you ask.

MX is the most stable for my old desktop,never let me down till now.

I use Manjaro as main os it's great

I don't like the encryption, because my laptop is not that powerful, just frezze 8/10, go to the point i need to wipe the drive and reinstall without encrytion... problem solve... orz

i tried mx recently and was really impressed, until i typed systemctl and it didnt work.
