Can a m.2 nvme ssd be used with this 10 year old pc?

This isn't really a question about MX, it's a hardware related question. I have a 10+ year old Gateway pc, AMD Kabini based machine (https://www.newegg.com/gateway-sx2185-ub37/p/N82E16883113295). It's not my main machine anymore, but I've been keeping it as a backup. I would like to add a m.2 nvme s...

Re: Time consumung: installing and updating new software or kernels..?

@kmathern See what you started? By the way, Kent, it's nice to see you back around :hug: Yeah I do, not sure if you're happy or upset. I've always been a bit annoyed waiting on the dkms stuff to get compiled when a kernel updated/installed, especially when it was for hardware/devices I wasn't using...

Re: Time consumung: installing and updating new software or kernels..?

I wonder if there could be a dkms cleanup tool, or maybe a step during installation that could identify un-needed dkms packages and offer to uninstall them for those who don't need them? Have it default to leaving them installed, and also explain the ramifications of removing them (positives -- less...

Re: Time consumung: installing and updating new software or kernels..?

we ship some drivers that are dkms packages. broadcom and realtek drivers. if you don't need them, remove them. the dkms rebuilds should only be happening on kernel updates, unless you have some incomplete update that previously occurred and some dkms package failed to build or install fully. apt/d...

Re: Firefox is Finally Providing Deb Package for Debian

...I created a new depends list by joining our existing depends with what's in the vanilla version and then checked to see what this new package list would bring down on a firefox install in a pristine MX23 VM and every one of them was already installed... except for libgcc1 . It only exists in bus...

Re: Logitech B100 usb mouse on MX 23 [Solved]

Kester , There's some similarity with the problem you're having with your Logitech mouse and what I reported here: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=78941, though in my case it involved both keyboard and mouse. So you might try installing one of the Liquorix kernels with MX Package Installer.

Re: nonresponsive keyboard&mouse with some kernels

Is that 6.6-16 Liquorix kernel behaving? Yes the keyboard and mouse are working with the 6.6-16 Liquorix kernel (using it right now). My 6.6-16 Liquorix kernel isn't one that you built, it was installed directly from the Liquorix repo. But going from what I remember, the keyboard and mouse hasn't b...

nonresponsive keyboard&mouse with some kernels

I have MX-23.1-ahs installed. With some kernels, the 6.5.0-1mx-ahs-amd64 kernel for example (and some others), the Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse that I use is non-responsive. I can't login or change terminals (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+Fn). I can issue the REISUB sequence to shutdown/reset. The keyboar...
