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

[Senpai]

Hey Senpai, I installed your respin to my trusty old guinea pig which is an HP 8460p laptop...oldie but still going strong for a 15 year old machine! It installed flawlessly and I liked the dark theme and the wallpaper. Think I am gonna use this on my big Ryzen 7 mega-machine.

I'm glad, check that it is the ISO uploaded on March 12, if it is an earlier ISO remember to place the file “mx-mint-pinning” in the path “/etc/apt/preferences.d”, which you can download from the same site as the ISO, or here in this thread a few posts above.

Best regards

Ahh crap, I downloaded this ISO March 5th and if I just need that one file what's the content of "mx-mint-pinning"?

EDIT: Found the post with the file attached. Grabbed it and will apply it before I update.

It is to avoid that Mint overwrites some MX-Linux configurations that is my base, nothing had happened in months, but last week Mint released two files that changed the Grub, plymouth and system name to what brings Mint LMDE, nothing important, and then I realized that I had forgotten to add that file happens that does not happen, what it does is to prioritize the versions and packages of MX-Linux over those of Mint/Debian.

As the last part of my new install, I did the needed configurations, made a snapshot and installed it ( as test )
All is 100% OK
Thanks Senpai

Thanks for your respin. I use mx linux in our schools computors. But my lenovo with radeon graphics has issues with it. I thought I might find this would solve this since mint has no issues. It is a problem with the radeon driver that miint has but mx does not. Since this has mint lmde would it be possible to get the driver to install? I never could figure out how to install the drivers in MX it is from ubuntu's distro Any ideas?

Hi:
Knowing the exact model of Lenovo and your graphics chit would help, run QSI (Quick System Information) and paste in the forum as the program tells you....

I don't have Radeon graphics, and with my Nvidia I only use the free ones that come with the system, in this respin is added the Mint LMDE repository, so you should be able to install the driver for your graphics, first find out which one it is....
I guess from an ISO of Mint LMDE you can find out, also on the website of Lenovo can tell you which driver is, if necessary install the AMD proprietary drivers if you do not work the free

I am trying your new release out as I saw you have mint ldme repos. I care for all the school linux computers (mostly chromebooks EOL) and run MX linux fine and dandy except my personal computer. I have an AMD gnu radeon card. Its 11 years old. Is it possible to get the drivers from mint linux to run in your spin? I'm a linux advocate but not a guru. All my issues I gratefully depend on the community.

I have a lancer motherboard it is running mesa intel graphics 4400 it says it is running the radeon driver. All the other info I get from running hardinfo is for most folks greek (But I actually can read greek but not this dialect) The readout I cant figure out how to copypaste here as its a very long read out and quite pretty html!

When I boot up it says I am missing amdgnu driver. But both synaptic and hardinfo seem to be saying i have it. So I ithink it may be too new of a driver to supppot my old faithful com. If I run Mint linux it is fixed no problem. I am not against Mint and it is my second go to linux. But Id like to stay in MX as I can build an iso and then update all our computers easily

Or is it ok to run MX despite it says missing driver? I dont have any issues that rise up doing this other than I am concerned am I doing something not good to do

Can you give advice to guru wannabe?

I just saw you responded to my question so sorry a long letter retelling my issue.
QSI does not work when I use run command. That is why I used hardinfo I had to open the report in an editor to get more info

Display
Resolution 1366x768 pixels
Display Adapter AMD/ATI Sun LE + Intel Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics
OpenGL Renderer Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400 (HSW GT2)
Session Display Server The X.Org Foundation 1.21.1.7

I think this is the info you might be looking for. I am at the moment in freja as it uses liquerix kernal. Wanted to see if maybe that solved anything. IT solved 3 complaints about drivers out of 6 complaints. But I do not understand linux enough to guess why. This is MX Linux 6.12.15-1-liquorix-amd64 (x86_64)
Your spin is on a flash driver made by MXlinux iso to usb program.

It is difficult for us to help without information, it seems that your computer has two cards, the integrated Intel, and the AMD, both should work fine with MX-23.5.
This respin has the Mint LMDE “Faye” repositories to get “Cinnamon 6.x.x” but in the other default packages the MX-Linux ones are prioritized for system stability.
You say a liquurix kernel on Freja? is it Faye? MX also has liquorix kernels for you to try, look at “Popular Applications” in the MX installer, and try the one that works best for you, but if your PC is 11 years old it should work with Debian kernel 6.1.x.x, which comes by default with both MX-Linux and Mint LMDE...

I don't understand very well the problem you have, does the graphic system work for you, or are they “warnings” that you get at startup...

The problem of your particular PC I do not think it has nothing to do with the PCs in your classroom in which you have MX, from one of them you can create an ISP with MX-Snapshot and it will serve for all others, you just have to be clear how you want to create it, you have to read about it in the MX manual.

Hi friends:
I have upgraded my MX-Cinnamon respin (Cinnamon 6.4.8 from LMDE) to MX-Linux version 23.6, the 32-bit version has kernel 6.1.0-34, the 64-bit version keeps that same kernel 6.1. 0-34, but as it has the AHS repositories enabled, from “Popular Applications->kernels” you can install the “AHS Liquorix” kernel you want, and if you want it to be updated to the latest “Liquorix” version as they come out, you have to install the “Liquorix 64 bit (ahs updates package)” package.
