Kernel Update errors for MX 18.3 [Solved]

[teddyk67]

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to update my 4.19 kernel on MX 18.3 by using Package Installer. The installer returns the names of the image and header files that are needed. When I click OK, the installer returns error messages by saying that the files couldn't be located. I tried changing the repo server from MD to VA and I get the same error message.

What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I'm writing this message from a different machine and I haven't attached the QSI for the machine in question.

EDIT: QSI is attached.

You need to refresh the package list after changing mirrors.

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

in a terminal will do that. You may however have changed from one bad mirror to another one. Try the Salt Lake City US one.

Also the best way to install kernels in MXPI is from the Kernels section of Popular Applications to make sure you get all needed packages such as headers.

[dolphin_oracle]

actually it looks like the package names changed.

I will update the package lists in mxpi.

thanks for the report.

[teddyk67]

I changed mirrors to Salt Lake City and I'm using Kernels from Popular Applications to update the kernel and I receive the same location not found error.

Thanks DO!!

[dolphin_oracle]

update to sent the repo, probably hit tomorrow.

thanks for the reports!

That could explain why the kernel wasn't auto-updating on the machine.

actually no. on mx18 the kernels do not auto-update. we added that in mx19, and even then only for the current debian stable kernel.

you can get kernel 4.9 to autoupdate on mx18 by installing the linux-image-* package that matches your architecture (i386 or amd64 for 32bit/64bit respectively).

Is this normal? (That was fixed in 18.3 later, test repo staying enabled, am I wrong? Or that's something else? )

its something else, and its empty right now. we set up dev when we were preparing the upgrade from mx17 to mx18.

Ah, ok, thank you :)
