"Updated" Senpai Respin MX-Cinnamon 23.6 for x32 and x64-AHS-LMK, with Cinnamon 6.4.8 of Mint LMDE

[Senpai]

Would like a more up to date gparted, no problems 1.31 when endeavour is 3.6?

Hi:
MX has the latest version of the Debian Brackports repositories, does Gparted 3.6 really have any such necessary features?

Best regards

3.6? Latest version of gparted is 1.7.0

Edit: link changed to gparted (non-live).

No, that's the source code and ISO version of Gparted live, a distribution created for recovery and other issues...

Sorry, I was correcting the link when you posted. Debian Backport is behind on gparted, too. I am not saying that newer is better. Just that 1.7.0 is the latest and there is no 3.6.

Yes, I suppose that 3.1 or 3.6 are versions given by the different distributions to their own builds in their repositories, but I'm not sure why or what the difference is.

thanks for that! everything works except for adding a wireguard.config-file. if you do it via the network manager in linux-mint, everything works as expected, in mx-linux it always complains that it is not a valid cisco-compatible VPN-file .... this happens also in older versions of cinnamon in mx-linux. maybe you can help, because my wife really wants the cinnamon-desktop with mx-linux .... :-/

Hi:
On my Respin with Cinnamon 6.4 I don't like having to go to the Menu every time I want to shutdown/restart/suspend, etc., so I have installed in the Taskbar of Cinnamon 6.4 the mini application ‘ShutdownMenuWithIcons’ but as it's from Mint it comes prepared only for SystemD...,
I've modified it to work also in SysVinit, in case it's useful for anyone I share the ‘*.json’ file that can be ‘imported’ from the application itself...
Greetings

Hi:
I don't usually use Wireguard, when I need it, a free Proton VPN account is enough for me, I'll try that configuration in Wireguard and I'll comment...

Hi:
I'm using this MX respin with Cinnamon 6.4, I've installed my free version of ProtonVPN and I see that by default it uses WireGuard... it doesn't give me any problems, what server do you use? the website of your VPN server should give you instructions on how to install WireGuard.
