MX Linux Forum

I'm quite happy to continue using MX 19 for music, and I don't need to go online with it so updating is not an issue for me You can get FREE extended support for another 5 years if you disable your old debian repos and just add this single to a new file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d: deb http ...

If your system locks up, you can try 'moving' to another tty (command line) session by using Ctrl + Alt + Fn (where n=1-7, I think) rather than just shutting down. A normal boot brings you to a session on tty7 so if that session has hung or crashed, you can normally move to another session and run ...

I can confirm that grub-customizer is in Debian 12 repos. I know you said you don't want to go back to grub-customizer but what you could also do is: 1) install grub-customizer, 2) make the changes you want 3) have a look at the new grub.cfg that grub-customizer has generated (copy or save it) 4 ...

The grub.cfg file is generated from a combination of other files found in: 1) /boot/ (kernels and initrd are stored here - feel free to have a look. It might surprise you what old kernels you still have lying around) 2) /etc/grub.d/ (snippets/small files) this is where the config file is getting ...
