If you want to include wl (broadcom-sta-dkms) you'll have to handle that one a bit differently.
And IIRC, MX-21 also had rtl8814au-dkms (8814au) and rtl8821cu (8821cu) installed.

Re: Time consumung: installing and updating new software or kernels..?
No it doesn't. Installing the rtl8812au-dkms package creates an 8812au kernel module (but installing rtl8821ce-dkms installs an rtl8821ce module). If you have that loaded because you need it the test will still fail and put it in the dumplist. modprobe 8812au yourself and check. The script is obviou...

Re: Time consumung: installing and updating new software or kernels..?
I goofed - the -eq should be -ne. It was printing modules that were actually loaded instead of those that were not. and it's important to keep the complete rtl8821ce as 8821ce will match the flaky built-in rtw88_8821ce but there's no 8821ce to remove. dumplist=""; for a in 8812au 8821au rt...

Re: Time consumung: installing and updating new software or kernels..?
I would like to get a draft script that detects what RTL drivers are not needed. What command would one run to check that? dumplist=""; for a in 8812au 8821au rtl8821ce; do lsmod | awk '{print $1}' | grep $a >/dev/null; status=$?; if test $status -eq 0; then dumplist+="$a "; fi;...

Re: Time consumung: installing and updating new software or kernels..?
Ideally, those dkms drivers already installed for the kernel on the ISO could also be left installed while removing them from the dkms list. That way users of those annoyingly common Realtek devices would have LiveUSB connectivity. Haven't figured out a reasonable way to do that - dkms wasn't design...

That makes sense to me, along with a tab in MX Network Assistant to make it easy to install them.dolphin_oracle wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 4:32 pm If, and I stress if, we were to do something different with the dkms packages, I would actually just put the debs on the iso ahead of time and let people who need them install them...

Re: Time consumung: installing and updating new software or kernels..?
If this is the same machine from your liva post then you don't need any of the realtek or broadcom dkms packages. You have Intel wireless hardware.

Re: No problems. AMD 7950X3D + X670E mobo?
Phoronix got good results with the AMD 7950X3D on kernel 6.2 and mesa 23.1.0+git230213. MX-23 AHS has mesa 23.1.2 so that should be working now. The MB is a bit harder to say. The early ones needed a BIOS update for some of the devices to work properly with linux - I haven't seen your QSI for this b...

Re: tp-smapi-dkms troubles [Solved]
tp-smapi-dkms is a debian package. The version in Bookworm only supports kernels up to 6.3 There is a version in bookworm-backports that was patched to work with kernel 6.4. That might work with your current 6.6 kernel. Because you have newer hardware, I suggest you use the backports tab in MXPI to ...

Re: Have installed a library via synaptic, but python isn't finding it to import
Debian hasn't packaged the python-tcod library. It's typically installed with pip3. Usually when you have to resort to pip, it's a good idea to set up a virtual python environment using something like pycharm to make sure the system python doesn't get affected by pip installing libraries of differen...
