Okay, I plugged the old pc and EQ12 together and the LEDs are on/flashing!

Same behaviour if you connect the two PCs direct (optionally with a crossover-cable) ? Haven't tried that. Would that involve just connecting the two and checking the ethernet port LEDs? I have just one monitor and keyboard/mouse that I'm switching between the old pc and the EQ12 so it's kind of ha...

When the dc power is plugged in but I haven't yet pressed the power button on the front panel, the ethernet LEDs will light up. Shortly after pressing the power button the LEDs turn off.

I'm aware of the speed mismatch, would think they would backwards compatible though.

Hi folks, it's been a longtime since I've posted here. I'm having a problem with a wired internet connection (something you almost never hear of). Just a couple days ago I got a Beelink EQ12 N100 mini pc. I've been testing it with a MX23-ahs LiveUSB, but haven't installed MX23 yet. For the most part...

@imschmeg You can try this, it creates the temporary folder for the updateScript in your ~/ directory instead of in /tmp. Run the sed command below then restart MX Updater from it's Whiskermenu entry. sudo sed -i 's/mktemp -d \/tmp\/apt-notifier.XXXXXX/mktemp -d ~\/apt-notifier.XXXXXX/' /usr/bin/apt...

Should I continue from that point? Will the upgradeScript print to the terminal any error it encounters? If there's any error messages you should see them in the terminal. If you do the upgrades you'll have wait again until some more updates are available to troubleshoot this. Question, what's the ...
