MX-14 beta 2

[kmathern]

Code: Select all

inxi -G
Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA C61 [GeForce 6100 nForce 405] X.Org: 1.12.4 driver: nvidia Resolution: 1600x900@60.0hz 
           GLX Renderer: GeForce 6100 nForce 405/integrated/SSE2/3DNOW! GLX Version: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 304.119

Is this the correct driver, or should I reinstall using kmathern's instructions? At this point, I don't mind.

The 304.xxx driver is correct for your GeForce 6100. It does look like sgfxi installs a slightly newer version, 304.119 vs 304.117 that my script will install from wheezy-backports. Either of them should work.

Also when synaptic says I have updates, is it safe to install those? It wants to install the Linux 3.12 kernel and headers from
http://ftp.us.debian.org/pool/main/l/li ... o70+1_i386
Do I turn off the wheezy main repo? And just use antix, wheezy security, and wheezy backports?

Thanks!

I went ahead and installed the updates including the kernel update. Rebooted and have no issues. In fact have done a few updates from wheezy main.

Thank you, kmathern. Then I'll just keep using this install.

OK, thank you, richb. Then MX-14 is using a Debian kernel?

[kmathern]

Wheezy had a point release update yesterday (7.3 -> 7.4) which accounts for most of the updates. I think 3 or 4 updates are MX related updates.

[richb]

Yes it is based on debian and uses its repositories along with antix repos.

Kernel is 3.12. Nice to see you again!

I will answer in the appropriate thread,

Thank you, Rich and Jerry.
It's nice to see you too, Jerry. :)

IMO tumbler should be disabled by default (at least on systems with limited RAM) and we need to have an easier way to turning it off. It is ridiculous that people feel they need to run a cron job that periodically kills off tumblerd.

What about adding ''killall tumblerd'' to Thunars Custom actions, or as a launcher on the panel.
