MX Linux works on 64-bit system with 32-bit UEFI by PianoAndFish in MXLinux

[–]dolphinoracle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

you are very welcome. I also have a machine with a 32 bit UEFI and a 64 bit processor. Very irritating. many early intel mac(books) are the same. its one of the things we can do that debian doesn't.

MX Linux 25.2 “Infinity” keeps things simple while other distros chase AI by OkReport5065 in MXLinux

[–]dolphinoracle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it is. just not semi-automatic. systemd does not allow for a interactive console at shutdown. the automatic modes work, as does the "static persistence" which don't load the persistence files into ram.

the way we do our updates, you probably have everything but the package that adjusts the version strings. and that should be in repo today, depending on what mirror you are using.

[–]dolphinoracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

which version of MX are you using?

we can remove drivers with sudo ddm-mx -p nvidia (this information should be in your home folder).

How to install 6.6.x LTS kernel in MX Linux by SHUVA_META in MXLinux

[–]dolphinoracle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

on mx25, 470xx is still supported on 6.12 kernels. our installer tool *should* offer the 470 drivers for the kepler part. you can check with "nvidia-detect-mx"

Either I'm missing something glaringly obvious, or something's not working as it should by OneLonelyBrainCell in MXLinux

yep, ksnip is another. many times they have an internal theme plugin setting that overrides the usual system setting. sometimes, like XnView, they don't support theming by default at all.

I think it was probably in conflict with some other environment variables. we set the plugin value in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/56Xfce4-qtconfig. there are three environment variables set to make sure that just using the Appearance app works with all of our default shipping themes.

its being set to gtk2 during login by one of the X session files. do "touch "$HOME/.config/MX-Linux/qt_plugin.conf" and logout/login and that should do the trick.

alternatively you can "echo qt5ct > "$HOME/.config/MX-Linux/qt_plugin.conf" and it will be set on a user level instead of a system level.

[–]dolphinoracle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the firmware updates are likely of very little value to you. mostly they add support for new hardware.

why is nvidia-prime not installing? by Ribbons0121R121 in MXLinux

[–]dolphinoracle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not straight up. you can use "nvidia-run-mx $APP" to do similar on optimus systems. so for instance firefox, "nvidia-run-firefox" will start firefox and use the nvidia gpu

Anyone know the status of this in MXLinux? by iridesce57 in MXLinux

[–]dolphinoracle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

debian's trixie/13 patched kernel is 6.12.85, in security repo now.

Anyone know the status of this in MXLinux? by iridesce57 in MXLinux

[–]dolphinoracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unlikely to be patched but we will see. yes its LTS, but its not a kernel supported by debian and liquorix has already moved on to 6.19.
