can't install update to tzdata - error msg about no space to bkup symlink [Solved]

When I tried to update my MX18.3 (originally MX17) today, there was an issue with the tzdata package update. THe terminal upgrade didn't go through and the error message was: Unpacking tzdata (2021a-0+deb9u1) over (2020e-0+deb9u1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-0WW23n/01-tz...

Re: Problems installing vpn for work (systemd error) [Solved]

Thanks JayM. It did work! Is there any significant difference between booting with the default method and with systemd? Many vpn apps don't provide sysV scripts nowadays, only systemd scripts. Fehlix knows how to add the necessary scripts for sysV, and some of the more common vpn services are in MX...

Re: Main difference between DEBIAN and MX [Solved]

... I'm on the admin team at Debian user forums and while it's not as n00b-friendly as here, if one asks smart questions one will get smart answers. Users are expected to help themselves and do a little research into their problem before asking on the forums. It's definitely less hostile now than i...

Re: Strange behaviour of my PC (no status bar, etc.) [Solved]

I checked and onlyoffice claims that their squeeze repo will work with newer Debian and Ubuntu versions. Similarly soft office's wheezy is supposed to work with newer and I've seen other posters' QSI with this repo. So presumably it might be working fine. No idea if the xenial repo for Signal is sup...

Re: Is there a list of changes MX/Antix vs Debian somewhere?

we don't start with a base debian system when we build MX and antiX. and what is a basic debian system anyway? we build them up from scratch using the debian repos. So, in general , a description rather than MX / antiX is "based on Debian", "MX / antiX are compatible with Debian"...

Re: Add fix/patch to known kde bug (can't save ovpn profile password in netwk mgr)

Or am I misunderstanding what wallet you are referring to? ksnip_20210120-211743.png I think it's just that the network manager G...
