A question to all apt at MX Linux: Is there a way to change the GUI from english to e.g. german for the live session?

Hi Nik,
I only speak English, so I’m only going to be able to help sift the MX Forums for you. These two seem promising:
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=57249&p=568310#p56831...
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=58025&p=574924#p5749...
If neither help, I’ll do some more digging!
Why do you always get a thought one second after you’ve pressed the Send button?!?
You can also try this:
- Boot the Live USB as normal - Run the MXPI (Main Menu >> MX Tools >> MX Package Installer) - In tab ‘Popular Applications’, section Language - Select your language - Install
Again, not sure it’ll work, and there might be an additional step to set/change the language somewhere.
Best, Michael

Sorry, does not work. I get german manpages, spellchecker, firefox ... but no german XFCE languge pack. Maybe I missed it, but I'm quite sure there was non.
The links above only set timezone and keyboard, but not the language of the GUI.
Ok, need to take a closer look.

Hi Michael,
I did not find a tool to change the language of the GUI for the running system (i.e. live system always is english, no matter what I select on the boot screen), but when I change the settings and create either a usb-live-image or a hd installation, then after a reboot the language is according to settings. Interestingly antiX does handle the boot settings correct - you can boot to a german GUI. So it comes to creating a custom ISO with the correct language settings.
So now I'm on step 2: TDE. Where do I find the latest version of the TDE-for-MX config that you made?
Nik

https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/MX_Linux_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Ins...
Note: MX added a KDE (plasma?) version to their desktop install .iso's a month or so ago. It doesn't effect TDE, but they did change some of the MX Tools / MX Package Installer support code for it. If you get any errors while using the MXPI in TDE (virtualbox has a known issue), login to Xfce and do the MXPI from there. I haven't really tested all the other MX Tools since the change, but if you're doing anything potentially breakable (Nvidia driver installation!) I'd do it from Xfce.
Best, Michael

Thank you, found it. Just now I question my judgement: wasn't MX systemd-free? I did a testinstall yesterday and made an update today and found systemd. And it's not removable over synaptic - well, I could remove it, but then all mx tools are gone, too.

Hi Nik,
It's a shim. MX is systemd-free.

Hm ... I have 3 grub entries, the last says "MX ... (systemd)". I'm a bit worried.

PS: Never ever enable a Debian.org repo! If you ever can't find something you want, ask for it in the MX Package request forum.
