Re: MX-17 Release Candidate 1 - Feedback

Re: BCM4356 firmware issue: Xubuntu, MX & Debian all have exactly the same firmware files for that chipset. There is an extra file, brcmfmac4356-pcie.bin.txt that is used just for some chromebook type computers (including the GPD piwadam has). It is specific to that particular configuration and ...

Re: "man init" reports that MX init is systemd?

I believe it indexes all the commands listed in the man pages, and systemd (1) lists init as a command. So does init (8) of course. But systemd cheats and uses the wrong category # for its man page so it shows up first. Changing the search order in /etc/manpath.config to search 8 before 1 and rebuil...

Re: "man init" reports that MX init is systemd?

No, I didn't update any packages. It seems to have to do with /var/cache/man/init.db , a file not present running Live. Deleting that file results in man init returning init 8. Running sudo mandb -c to recreate it results in man init returning systemd 1 I'm assuming something during installation or ...

Re: "man init" reports that MX init is systemd?

However, if I boot up the iso as a LiveUSB in Vbox I do get what you do. So whatever happens, happens during installation.

Re: MX-17 Release Candidate 1 - Feedback

Debian hasn't updated the firmware for that chipset in quite a while, and I've seen threads from other distros where using the newest firmware fixes your problem. I just downloaded the latest from the kernel git repository Download this, extract the 2 files, and copy them as root to /lib/firmware/br...

Re: MX-17 Release Candidate 1 - Feedback

Looks like the common factor in the ones where it doesn't work is that modesetting is enabled. All the working models have it unloaded.

Re: MX-17 Release Candidate 1 - Feedback

Eureka! Grub Customizer changes that filename. It sets up 10_linux_proxy and moves the original 10_linux to /etc/grub.d/backup/10_linux *and* to /etc/grub.d/proxifiedScripts/linux I'm pretty sure it's the latter one that is used by 10_linux_proxy. So I guess there needs to be a test to see if the us...

Re: MX-17 Release Candidate 1 - Feedback

Thank You. That narrows the problem down to the postinst script in mx-system.
It works on a LiveUSB or VM from iso. Let me see why it doesn't work on a hardware install...
