DO NOT UPGRADE LIVE SYSTEMS WITH PERSISTENCE OR REMASTER!

It's with the 4.19 kernel from upstream Debian.

Doesn't MX compile their own kernel versions?

If so then "upstream" is kernel.org rather than Debian.

Ah so, you may be right. All I know is "upstream", I just assumed Debian.

Hi there,

Had the same problems here. Wifi was gone after kernel update. I changed to an older kernel, and it's working again.
Is there something more that I can or must do? Below is the quick system info. I now use the 4.19.01:

It's with the 4.19 kernel from upstream Debian.

Doesn't MX compile their own kernel versions?

If so then "upstream" is kernel.org rather than Debian.

The issue is with the 4.19 MX kernel, not Debian's nor kernel.org's

We own it.

...and (just as importantly) we can fix it too!

[eriefisher]

So this is with a Live or Persistent install only?

I have the upgrade from a few days ago with a full install and notice no issues. However, I tried both the 5. antix and Liquorix kernels and could not maintain wireless stability with either. Not sure if related but I put it out there just in case it helps. Also this is a ~week old fresh install MX18.3.

If you have Nvidia graphics, also be cautious.

Code: Select all

$ uname -r
4.19.0-5-amd64

I likely don't see the issue immediately due to intel graphics and wireless. I did question that it did overwrite the kernel as opposed to installing alongside but didn't see an issue post update so didn't worry'

We own it.

...and (just as importantly) we can fix it too!

I have complete faith in your super powers!

I'm using Kernel provided with Rufus , when it proceed to make live-USB-Installer , rufus give a warning and said this kernel might not be working on the specified distribution ... (not verbatim but i think it's close enough) and give option to download the latest kernel

And the friend that recommend me MX Linux did have the same problem , until he used my live-usb to upgrade ...

So i hope this helps ...

The issue with the newer 4.19 kernel was fixed five days ago. See MX News and Announcements.
