Re: Terabyte image for linux

That package is from Debian 8/Jessie which was eol'd several years ago. It's available at archive.debian.org http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpng/ http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_i386.deb It might not be installable on MX-23 though ...

Re: Booting USB-live-System: UIP: Was not able to install 82 packages

Speaking of audio-recorder, I see that it's from the mx bookworm testrepo. Were some of the other user installed packages also originally installed from the mx testrepo (possibly with mx-packageinstaller) ? It would present a bit of a problem trying to reinstall them without the testrepo enabled. An...

Re: Why so few preinstalled printer-driver-* packages? [Solved]

oversight really. apparenty there is not a printer-drivers-all-enforce that treats the other printer drivers as depends rather than recommends. I haven't tried it. I wasn't aware of printer-driver-all-enforce, it looks like it's available $ apt-cache policy printer-driver-all-enforce printer-driver...

Re: "Image disk mounter" for LXDE desktop

Under XFCE by doing right click on any ISO image I get the option "mount with image disk mounter". I know this could be done through terminal but I would like to have the same option in LXDE, to do it quickly. I did some research online but I am afraid of installing something that could b...

Re: Can a m.2 nvme ssd be used with this 10 year old pc?

Just be aware that having upgraded all you can, a SATA SSD or a PCIe M2 SSD will only remove the constrictions of a spinning platter drive. In most any older machine, switching to a solid state drive will make a difference but you still have the limitations of the E1-series processor, an ultra low ...

Re: Can a m.2 nvme ssd be used with this 10 year old pc?

That's probably the best option in term of hardware support, if it's a BIOS would not care if it's a SDD or HDD if it's SATA. From what I understand M.2 would work if the BIOS knows how to boot from PCI-E. But if you already have the M.2 drive it might be worth getting a $9 PCI-E adapter to give it...

Re: Can a m.2 nvme ssd be used with this 10 year old pc?

Beware that an older motherboard might only have SATA II ports which would limit throughput to 300 MB/sec which is likely to bottleneck a sata SSD (typically capable of 500MB/s on a SATA III port from what i've seen). How would I find out the type of SATA ports it has (lspci, hwinfo, etc. ??) A rel...

Re: Can a m.2 nvme ssd be used with this 10 year old pc?

Thanks for the replies. I initially didn't pay too much attention to siamhie's sata hdd to sata ssd suggestion. Mainly because the pcie x1 & x16 slots are right out in the open and don't require disassembly to get the harddrive. I'm not that handy mechanically and wasn't sure if I could figure o...

Re: Can a m.2 nvme ssd be used with this 10 year old pc?

I think it would work, it would be slow, since x1 does 1GB/s. if you look on Amazon you'll find PCI-e 1x to M.2 in the $9-$20 range, you can probably spare $9 to give it a try, you might even be able to return the device if it doesn't work. Even if it's slow as ssd's go I was thinking it would prob...
