just add the linux-image-amd64 package and you'll get your updates. you can also do this in MX-Packageinstaller-popular apps-kernels- Debian 64bit. the original MX19 release might not have had this. I think we added it by default in 19.1 or 19.2 Thanks for the snappy feedback. I have a possible way ...

Hi MXers In my MX 19 install, what kernel should I be on? I cherish the fond hope that my distro will keep my kernel up to date with the latest security fixes, but I am not sure this is happening with my semi-regular "aptitude update;aptitude full-upgrade" regimen. Is it possible that, despite this ...

This seems like quite a good question. Can someone please point me to where it has been answered?

Is this my question that has arisen to shake the towers and counsels of the Great? https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=61278 Or maybe this newer one from a_freed_man? (A bit too new and not the same question, perhaps, but Greg Kroah-Hartman's recommendation to use "Supported kernel from ...

Maybe it's worth separating the kernel story from the microcode story. I see a possible contradiction between these Stevo statements: We recommend that MX 18.3 users keep the backported 4.19 Debian kernels it uses as default updated to the latest 4.19 security updates we continue to backport to main ...

What is it about the microcode you are worried about? I developed this interest after discovering that my meticulous updating regimen of an occasional "aptitude update;aptitude full-upgrade" had left me on the same kernel for +-3 years, which rocked my naively trusting worldview. Now I am wondering ...

My kernel is now $ uname -a Linux brain 4.19.0-12-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.152-1~mx17+1 (2020-10-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux $ aptitude search 'linux-image ?installed' i linux-image-4.13.0-1-amd64 - Linux 4.13 for 64-bit PCs i linux-image-4.19.0-12-amd64-unsigned - Linux 4.19 for 64-bit PCs and I will be ...

If you update mx-packageinstaller-pkglist to the latest version, you'd see that 'MX 4.19' now provides the 4.19.0-12 kernel. In MX 19, having the 4.19 kernel automatically updated is very easy, but in MX 18 all the available metapackages seem to lag behind... (maybe the best one is linux-image-4.19 ...

Hi MXers Thanks for info and tips. Using the kernel numbers specified by Stevo, my search turned up 2 candidates. linux-image-4.19.152-antix.1-amd64-smp - Linux kernel, version 4.19.152-antix.1-amd64-smp linux-image-4.19.0-12-amd64-unsigned - Linux 4.19 for 64-bit PCs I used aptitude to install ...

I have sworn to defend entropy from all foes, foreign and domestic, but...perhaps I can overlook that, for now. I do feel that MX could be a bit more informative about what kernels are recommended. Perhaps the fact that they are offered in the MX Package Installer means they are all appropriate from ...
