@MAYBL8 Hey Dan, try my respin on a live usb if you get a second. Want to see if it gives you any trouble.

[MAYBL8]

I have it on a live-usb. What specifically would you want me to test out.
Just launched it and changed the settings for my Display. This laptop has trouble with persistence . That has nothing to do with the test you want.

Just wanted to see if it started up for you, see if graphics and networking worked, or if you saw any obvious showstopping bugs. I've tried it on a couple of machines but hadn't heard any other feedback. I'm hoping that networking works better on this version than on the last version of the respin.

[MAYBL8]

Before I tried it I ran sudo NetworkManager so I'm not sure if i needed to or not.
Next time I restart I'll see if it works without having to run that.
I've tried a few MX Tools and so far so good. I am running the live-usb kernel updater right now.

I'm building Plasma 5.21.1 now, if all goes well it should be ready in experimental as well as OSC later today (JST time).

[andyprough]

Before I tried it I ran sudo NetworkManager so I'm not sure if i needed to or not.
Next time I restart I'll see if it works without having to run that.
I've tried a few MX Tools and so far so good. I am running the live-usb kernel updater right now.

Ok thank you, sounds like it's progressing towards a bit more stability. Yes let me know your experience with networking if you can. I'm especially interested to see if networking connects and disconnects repeatedly.

I tried to backport Okular from Bullseye for MX yesterday, and it was a huge dependency mess. For some reason dozens of packages are required to be an exact package version number, and it's not the latest testing version. I figured I must be going about it all wrong, and if I asked you maybe there's an easier way to do it. I'm using pbuilder with the Bullseye Okular sources, and had to try to get about 675 dependencies in local_repo. Once I saw the cascading problem of dozens of packages, maybe hundreds, demanding a lower version number, I gave up for the time being. Let me know if there's an easier and smarter way to go about it.

I updated to the 5.21.1 and my sddm is broken. I can get to a login screen that has sddm errors on it and then enter my username and password and end up with a blank screen.
Working out how to fix that.
I may just reinstall and start again.
