Re: [SOLVED] "broken pipe" when updating MX 19.4 [Solved]

:number1: ... and to @Huckleberry Finn for nailing the final step to solve the problem. In fact, that, too was thanks to @dolphin_oracle : "good catch" :) And this dolphin_oracle guy is the main man who drives, develops, maintains and promotes MXLinux! Huge kudos for that - and I'm deeply...

Re: "broken pipe" when updating MX 19.4 [Solved]

Just boot Mint and open a terminal sudo update-grub Reboot (into MX). What's the expression in the movies ...? "Well I'll be doggoned!" (or something similar). Complicated question, detailed explanation - and simple answer. Thankyou, to dolphin_oracle for his detective work and for prompt...

Re: "broken pipe" when updating MX 19.4 [Solved]

Ah, dolphin_oracle you must be psychic, or extremely perceptive. I did mention in an earlier post that this spare laptop is triple-boot. I set it up some time ago and I'm not sure I can now recall all the exact details of how I did so.... Basically I have Windows 10, Mint 19.3 and MXLinux 19.4 insta...

Re: "broken pipe" when updating MX 19.4 [Solved]

Closer.... but no cigar yet! I have now got rid of 4.19.0-9 and 4.19.0-10. I also checked that 4.19.0-20 is definitely there in /boot. I ran "sudo update-grub" and rebooted. MX Boot Options told me I was still running the 4.19.0-18 version of the kernel. But the dropdown list in Boot Optio...

Re: "broken pipe" when updating MX 19.4 [Solved]

Well, we seem to be only part-way there. I followed those three steps, Adrian , for both the initrd.img-4.19.0-9-amd64 and the initrd.img-4.19.0-10-amd64. Both have disappeared from the list showing in /boot, so they have been removed. The config, System.map and vmlinuz for both of them however rema...

Re: "broken pipe" when updating MX 19.4 [Solved]

I don't know if this helps or is relevant, but as well as looking in /boot using the file manager, I have also checked in Synaptic - which also lists the various kernel packages. So I guess in theory I could mark them for deletion using Synaptic. And just out of curiosity I opened the MX Cleanup too...

Re: "broken pipe" when updating MX 19.4 [Solved]

Apologies for being dim or ignorant.... but I'm already beginning to get confused, especially by this advice from Adrian "...then remove the package that provided the kernel that was removed manually" . The key facts are that I have these kernels showing up as 'installed' 4.19.0-9 4.19.0-1...

Re: "broken pipe" when updating MX 19.4 [Solved]

"No space left on device" Maybe that might have something to do with it? Yes, I saw that and I did wonder. But as far as I can tell from a quick look at disk manager, this ought not to be an issue. The laptop is a triple-boot setup (with Win 10 and mint on other partitions). I have a sepa...

"broken pipe" when updating MX 19.4 [Solved]

I have MX 19.4 installed on a rarely-used spare laptop. I thought it was probably time to update it, so applied all the updates which Synaptic identified. I noticed that the list included a kernel upgrade, but assumed that was not going to be a deal-breaker, so went ahead. I was a bit surprised - al...

Re: Can I install MX18.x on an older non-PAE laptop?

Yay! Good news, and better news - though I haven't actually tried it yet. Good news from Adrian - both about Dolphin Oracle's video guide, and the clarification about the remastering process (which is something I've never attempted before). Even better news from chrispop99 - that in fact that proces...
