I got a PM on the Debian forums from a tester who had downloaded and installed 17.1 in virtualbox, but got this error with updating the apt database:
Is this just a temporary outage for the Swedish mirror, or is it worse?

Re: problem for Debian MX tester: can select incorrect mirror for antiX repo?
We don't have that mirror anymore, it doesn't show (it shouldn't) in mx-repo-manager so they can use mx-repo-manager to select another repo. There might be a problem in the live boot or installation scripts that are not up to date and have a on old list of mirrors that's not up-to-date. I don't know how the mirror are set up on new system.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

We lost all 3 *.mxlinux.de mirrors then - about 90 days after they came online. The user who set them up apparently wasn't aware how much storage & bandwidth he'd end up paying for.

repo-manger should work though to set the correct Swedish repo.

Re: problem for Debian MX tester: can select incorrect mirror for antiX repo?
I just got a PM saying he used Repo Manager to select the fastest repo, and it turned to be the Italian one, so everything is working. Go figure.anticapitalista wrote:repo-manger should work though to set the correct Swedish repo.
He wanted to install and use the MATE desktop, and wondered if it needed systemd running for the power management. It doesn't appear that it does.

Re: problem for Debian MX tester: can select incorrect mirror for antiX repo?
Yes, but it doesn't look like MX actually has to be booted with the systemd option to run MATE properly.
