Request: System76 Drivers ppa
Request: System76 Drivers ppa
Hello,
I looked in the package managers and didn't see this. And I noticed that there is a warning on installing ppa's on MX 17.
Was wondering if it's possible to add the following to the MX Package Installer, MX Tool or similar? Or is it ok for me to add the below ppa using the instructions on https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/add-ppa-repository as guidance?
Current instructions are;
sudo apt-add-repository -ys ppa:system76-dev/stable
sudo apt-get update
Then to install the System76 Driver:
sudo apt-get install -y system76-driver
I don't have NVidia but it might be good to add this too;
Or to install the System76 Driver on an NVIDIA based system:
sudo apt-get install -y system76-driver-nvidia
Or to install the nvidia-361.42 backport for Trusty on its own:
sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-361
I love MX. Thank you for taking the time to review this.

Re: Request: System76 Drivers ppa
be aware that system76's POPos is based on ubuntu, not debian, so YMMV when it comes to adding PPAs. especially when talking about driver packages.
Personally I avoid PPAs, but if you really want to try it. (note there is no official support for this).
the add ppa system doesn't exist outside of ubuntu ecosystem, but you can use the full repo definitions for a debian based system (lauchpad.net provides them for all PPAs)
but note the "YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE" statements. On a debian stretch distro like MX, you could probably use "ZESTY" there and get away with it. If not, then XENIAL would be closer than "TRUSTY". but none of them are exact.
and we have later nvidia-drivers already than 361. 384 in our main repos. nvidia-installer tool in MX-Tools.

Re: Request: System76 Drivers ppa
Is it really necessary? I'm using the same type/model ultrabook that System76 uses for its Galago, made by Clevo. The main difference is mine isn't the full 4K HD screen but the standard 1920x1080 one.
The graphics card is the integrated Intel 620. Seems to work fine on MX15/16 AND MX17.
Maybe the drivers are needed for their POP OS, which is Ubuntu based?

Re: Request: System76 Drivers ppa
Hi @dolphin_oracle - Thank you for the detailed information. It gives me a better understanding and I really appreciate it. Everything I have tested so far via the Live USB works well, so maybe no need for those drivers. :)
Hi @asqwerth - That's good news that you have it working without the System76 ppa drivers. Maybe I do not need them. Thanks for letting me know. :)

Re: Request: System76 Drivers ppa
If you have a Galago Pro, why don't you post the output of this terminal command:
inxi -F
in this thread, and I can compare your hardware with what I have.
I bought my lappy without OS at all.
Works fine with whatever drivers come as default in MX15/16, MX17, and Manjaro.

Re: Request: System76 Drivers ppa
I have a System 76 Galago Pro with the HiDpi screen, although I run it at 1920x1080 as a matter of preference.
I do not use any System76 drivers or other programs and all my hardware works perfectly including my Thunderbolt 3 dock. I do have the Intel 965 drivers installed.
The only thing I haven't tried is the SIM card for LTE.

Re: Request: System76 Drivers ppa
Debian and MX have their own system of providing newer video drivers that's incompatible with the way the PPA handles those--stretch-backports and our own test and experimental repos. DO NOT use that PPA.
versus what we'd like to see as with clicktician's:
Since the only difference seems to be clicktician's newer Liquorix 4.18 kernel, that's worth a try. The latest Liquorix kernel like he's using is easy to install in the Package Installer. Stretch-backports also has a newer Mesa stack if that's not enough to get it working right--I also needed that for my i7-8750H's UHD 630 Intel GPU.
