Known Issues in AVL-MXE These are still early days in the migration of AVL-MXE to MX Linux and there is still much work to do to determine what features may overlap or even conflict with each other. It is hoped that each release will receive some useful feedback in order to streamline and improve future full releases. Before downloading or installing AVL-MXE the User should be aware of the following known issues: ➔ The ISO is about 4Gb in size, this is not BLOAT! Multimedia Apps and Plugins take up a lot of space! ➔ There is not a Repository of Custom AVL-MXE Packages (yet). ➔ AVL-MXE is currently using the QT5 Config tool ‘qt5ct’ to apply GTK themes to QT5 Apps. ➔ There may still be functionality overlaps between the MX Tools and the AVL-MXE Utilities. ➔ Virtualized environments (ie Virtualbox, VMWare) are NOT suggested for using AVL-MXE. ➔ By default MX Linux now installs using ‘sudo’ so the User Password is default for authentication, *This can be changed to Root Password authentication in MX Tools –> ‘MX Tweak’
Downloading the AVL-MXE ISO File It is VERY strongly recommended to only download AVL-MXE from the mirrors on the AVL-MXE Website. This will ensure that you are getting the intended version of the ISO files and not something that has been maliciously tampered with. While AVL-MXE is in early development there may be a limited number of mirrors but this will likely expand by the time AVL-MXE is through the Release Candidate process. When you download the AVL-MXE ISO you will see that in the mirror download folder is the actual 'AVL-MXE-.iso' file containing the operating system and two accompanying '.md5' and ‘sha512’ text files. You should download the both the 'iso' and both text files, you should be able to right-click and use 'Save target as' for the text files. Before running AVL-MXE Live or installing it on your computer you should verify that the 'md5sum' and ‘sha512sum’ of your ISO download matches the text files on the download server. This will ensure that you have a complete and proper download of the ISO as well as confirming that you haven't downloaded a compromised ISO. To verify that the md5 and sha512 files match with your downloaded ISO you can simply right-click on the ISO file you downloaded and select the Custom Action to “Show File Checksums”. This will open a new window that will take several seconds to calculate the MD5, SHA256 and SHA512 checksums and then show you the calculated values which will appear as long alphanumerical text strings. If these checksum text strings match the strings in the text files which accompanied the ISO download then you can be assured you have both a complete download and that the ISO file is legit and safe to use.
