Upgraded today. Nothing to mention for the moment.

We now have the latest backport from Sid, the 4.19.16 kernel, in the test repo, except this has the 4.19.0-2 ABI, so won't be an automatic upgrade to the MX 18 kernel.

We now have the latest 4.19.0-5 (4.19.37) kernel, backported from Sid, in the test repo. Perhaps this update will be the default kernel in a proposed MX 18.3 point release, but we need testers besides me!

Hello,

I'm switching from Debian 4.9 to MX 4.19 kernel

I'm not able to install MX kernel metapackages (linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64) from test repo, getting an error (see image below):

Added the Netflix security patches to address the security issues they found: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/s ... y-netflix/

Updates should appear automatically. The main kernel ABI version remains at 4.19.0-5, though.

Locked

Return to “Package Requests/Status - MX 17/18”
