Turn off what 32bit filter?

MPXI will install the amd64 (64bit) and i386 (32bit) packages needed for whatever it is you are installing. You don't need to "typically" go hunting for anything or see anything for 32bit or 64bit packages. If you're using a 64bit version of an OS its going to default show you amd64 (64bit) and the opposite if you installed the 32bit version of the OS. If a 64bit application needs 32bit components it will pull it in (hopefully) when installing. If you need to find the i386 (32bit) packages for whatever reason, you can use Synaptic... I have no clue if Discover can do this or not.

I don't suppose this happened because I uninstalled plasma-discover and added synaptic and apt-notifier?
shouldn't have. skype is downloaded directly from microsoft. and remove of plasma-discover shouldn't have affected flatpak at all. unless it also removed mx-packageinstaller, which might in turn remove the flatpak backend.

Alright, but why was Steam hidden in the stable repo then? It wasn't in 19.4.

It isn’t and wasn’t ever “hidden”. That screenshot I did for you, that was on MX-19. Search the forum, the internet, the universe… you’ll see this answered the same way over and over.

It’s always been Steam:i386, you always have to search for the i386 (32bit) packages specifically on a amd64 (64bit) OS in Synaptic. I have no clue how Discover shows it.

Also I think we have only ever packed Steam a few times to get ahead of Debian to fix problems, it normally comes from Debian, the MX-21 version is coming from the Debian repos right now. Don’t like the answers, feel free to ask the same questions on their forums, they probably won’t be as accommodating.

debian's package just downloads steam from valve anyway.

discover doesn't seem to have a way to show all multi-arch packages. will look into it. @Adrian

BTW, mx-packageinstaller ->popular apps installs the very same debian package, so there is no harm/no foul going that route. good report.

Woah, I'm not trying to start a fight here at all. I also think I see where the misunderstanding is coming from. I said, "why was Steam hidden in the stable repo then? It wasn't in 19.4," but what I should have said was, "why is Steam hidden in the MX21 stable repo? It wasn't hidden in the 19.4 stable repo." I apologize for the bad wording.

But yes, according to @dolphin_oracle it seems that the MX Package Installer in 21 (which I'm assuming is nicknamed Discover, I've never heard that term before yet here) doesn't have any ways to show all the different architectures, so I suppose that explains things.

Oh yes, also another good thing to report. Boot times are now significantly faster than 19.4 both on SysVInit and systemd.

EDIT: Nope, Discover is a completely new application. I really don't know MX that well yet. lol

Hello!
From the RC1 announcement. (Easy to miss.)

MX-21 Release Candidate 1 now available for testing purposes – MX Linux
https://mxlinux.org/blog/mx-21-release- ... -purposes/

Things that are new in MX-21 RC1:

User password (sudo) for admin tasks by default. You can switch this in mx-tweak->Other tab
Thanks Paul1149 my fault didnt see that..Maybe is important to have the possibility to change that in the installation Process!

Thanks a lot!

It works in MX 19.
Network device 2 doesn't exist in my installation of MX 19. I don't know if the problem is related to that, that it tries connect via a wrong device.

Re: MX-21 KDE/plasma RC1 feedback

#80 Post by Arnox »

A small update. I seem to be getting weird installation issues left and right.

First, it was Kdenlive and not being able to use NVENC. Fixed using the flatpak version though. Thought the NVENC options in the Debian stable release were just dummied out Then it was WINE, seemingly installing correctly, but some features and menu entries weirdly seemed to be missing. Installing from the Popular Applications tab seemed to fix it though. Kind of... And then finally, what really made me suspicious, is that when I installed Virt-Manager, it didn't seem to install libvirtd. And when I look for QEMU and install it from either the MX Package Installer, Discover, or even apt-get as instructed by the QEMU site itself, it would only download the dummy file and NOTHING else.

Is this still me? Am I being stupid again? Is this just RC bugs? What is going on?

EDIT: Looking at the Debian package list on the official site again, it looks like libvirtd is not the correct "meta-package" name anymore. libvirt-daemon-system seems to be it. (https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/virt-manager) Also, the usual qemu package one would download to get all the other necessary packages seems to have been phased out as well and turned into a dummy package that doesn't do anything. (https://packages.debian.org/stable/qemu) So, the good news is, this doesn't seem to be an MX problem for those. The bad news is this is obviously incredibly frustrating. It's like, we've had these package names for years, and now suddenly, Debian's changing them all, and nobody has updated on their sites or the programs themselves what the package is ACTUALLY named in the repo anymore for fetching. And I wonder how far this goes too. How many packages are there that have been renamed but a package that depends on that package hasn't updated its dependency list at all?

Now, this is certainly not the end of the world, and in some cases like QEMU, it looks like they wanted to split up the main package and give users a choice of what versions they wanted. Nevertheless though, I just feel like Debian could have handled this better. I only found out the answer here myself because I'm a very persistent bastard. So many others might have just gotten super frustrated and given up entirely.
