No! You are fine. The problem was only with one specific MX kernel upgrade. Any non-MX kernel should be fine and it is only one MX kernel upgrade that caused a problem.fasterfaster wrote: Fri Jun 21, 2019 7:11 pm Did I make a mistake by installing linux-image-5.1.11-antix.1-amd64-smp?

Edit: And I'd like to thank those responsible for providing newer kernels like this.
Re: About the Alert and not upgrading
Hey, I came to the party a little late and I already upgraded. Lol. I actually got 2 kernel upgrades recently:
4.19.37-2~mx17+1
4.19.37-2~mx17+2
The first one didn't boot at all so I just booted into the previous one. I didn't have time to check it out right then so I figured I would wait until the weekend to look into it. But then on the 19th the second one came in so I booted into it and that's what I'm running now.
Is the second one the fixed version or is there still a problem?
4.19.37-2~mx17+1
4.19.37-2~mx17+2

Re: About the Alert and not upgrading
Your hardware may not need any DKMS drivers at all, so the bug won't affect you in that case. Machines that use only Intel and/or AMD hardware should not be affected, or else stick to open drivers that are in the kernel.rootetsy wrote: Fri Jun 21, 2019 7:42 pm Hey, I came to the party a little late and I already upgraded.

Re: About the Alert and not upgrading
Semi-related question - Are the kernels labeled "antix" able to be used in MX?
Re: About the Alert and not upgrading
After waiting the couple of days recommended, I upgraded 2 of my machines today, an old 2008 Toshiba Satellite, & my 2010 HP-G62, both working fine.
(FOSS, Linux, & BSD since 1999)
Re: About the Alert and not upgrading
Yes. If they weren't then they probably wouldn't be in the MX stable repo.marlowe221 wrote: Tue Jun 25, 2019 1:30 pm Semi-related question - Are the kernels labeled "antix" able to be used in MX?
I installed the 5.1.11 antiX kernel on my live USB and it appears to work fine.
