MX Linux Forum

@Stevo Great answer, 2 in 1, who'd have thunk it? :)

OK. I see that my kernel is actually matching what's in the repo. It begs the question, why is uname reporting '6.1.0-17 and 6.1.69-1"? But it answers my first two questions, so if you know the answer to the uname thing, great, but I'm still wondering about whether or not MX modifies the kernel ...

I can't find the source for the kernel I have installed. So, I have some questions. First the diff:

uname -a:

Linux odin 6.1.0-17-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.69-1 (2023-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux

sudo apt search linux-source

linux-source/stable-security,stable-security 6.1.69-1 all ...

Brilliant, Stuart_M ! Weird, but what worked for me:

1. Click and drag to make a partial selection from the end or beginning of what you want selected (you can let go of the mouse).
2. Hold shift and either pageup/pagedown or home/end as appropriate (if you page far enough away from the selection ...

well, maybe. It's working with konsole. I hate to switch from the default, but I need it to work, so konsole it is until I can figure it out with xfce_terminal. I'll go file a bug or something :).

System:
Kernel: 6.1.0-17-amd64 [6.1.69-1] arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 12.2.0

So, before I go switching terminals (I like the default and don't wanna change), I thought I would ask to see if it's just me or if this is an issue for others...

In terminal, do something that outputs more than one screenful of information.
Select All and copy

Only one screen of the output gets ...

Yes and always :). So, if you don't have mail going to root when stuff goes wrong, what's the normal way to get notified of issues?

I had a disk fail over the last few days and got to thinking. Usually, the system mails me updates about the disk status. I'm a recent MX convert, so maybe I just didn't notice it wasn't installed or maybe something I did caused it to get uninstalled...

Is mail installed in a basic install of mx ...

Code: Select all

man update-rc.d

Of course, I read it. It talks about priority alright, but it doesn’t talk about how to set it. Any suggestions? I thought about renaming the file, which would work, but it seems to fly in the face of having management tools like update-rc.d.
