Re: I want to install MX-18.3 to partition #19 on my HDD, but...

OK, I got frustrated with making unbootable USB sticks, so I installed MX on an old swap partition (sda14) and gave Manjaro a new swap partition. The install went pretty much as expected although my user 1000 has the name demo. I can fix that later. I still have sda19 open, so I will try the install...

Re: I want to install MX-18.3 to partition #19 on my HDD, but...

Thanks, Thunar sees the expected root directory on sda18. The partition >15 access issue seems specific to the installer. $ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O...

Re: I want to install MX-18.3 to partition #19 on my HDD, but...

Thanks for the help. There is something odd about the partitions after sda15, namely "sda19 259:3". The target drive is GPT, but MX-Linux is running live from an MBR USB. FWIW, Devuan installed on sda18, Arcolinux is on sda17 and sda16 is an old ext4 data partition. $$ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN R...

With the minstall GUI installer, I only see up to partition 15. I found this topic https://mxlinux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=49845&sid=3c9cbea8b7290d141e9852e6b9457497&start=10 about setting /home beyond partition #9. Is there a .conf I can edit or some trick to install MX-linux on ...

Re: When did you start using Linux and why?

2015. I got tired of having to reconfigure my settings after another large unplanned forced update. I started with Ubuntu 14 to get proof of concept with a liveCD. I set up Mint as a persistent liveUSB for several weeks. Finally, I installed it (dual boot). I have distro hopped, a lot. Rolling relea...

Re: Next update give an option for minimal install.

Some of us love MX besides the fact it doesnt hardly install on my PC that has a 32 bit uefi but that is a whole different story. It clearly depends on what device you are targeting. Very few distro installers even boot UEFI32. I just did 2 MX installs on my T100CHI without too much trouble. My fir...

Re: MX 17 Repository: The Liquorix Kernel Thread

Sorry, the built 32 bit kernel (4.16.16-zen-i686) is at the G+ T100/Ubuntu group community files.

Re: Baytrail-kernel Re: MX 17 Repository: The Liquorix Kernel Thread

patch-set from John Brodie for building a 32-Bit Liquorix-kernel (4.16.16-zen) for my Asus T100TA. Question: The 32-Bit Liquorix kernel-configuration file is ".config-i686-zen (baytrail)". Would that be suitable for building a live-kernel for MX-17? I would expect so. There is a 4.16.16-z...

Re: Moore's Law no longer happening

Moore's Law seems to hold for the systems I can afford. I can roughly double performance for about the same cost every two years. I can't afford the bleeding edge machines where Moore's Law no longer holds.
