page https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/repos-mx-linux/ includes up to MX21.
MX 23 would be nice to have, too.

Thanks in advance

in debian security page for bookworm I see
If you are using apt you can use this entry in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stable-security main
Does this apply to MX?

Thanks for pointing that out. I will take care of the first part today, but can't answer your last question.

The default mx 23 repo shows the following (and is checked)
http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

If that helps answer your question.

Hum, sorry to bother but is there any problem with the repos right now ?
An hour ago I tried the FIrefox update (from Discover) but it hanged on the download it seems. Finallly it worked.
Now I have the same trying to update the kernel : it hangs ont this last line.

Thanks.

Please open another thread don't tag to existing threads unless relevant to the discussion (if repos work or not is not really relevant to the web page).
Also... please post your QSI.

Sorry, I'll keep that in mind for the next time ^^

(FYI : the process was still running in the background and finally completed ... 30 minutes later - just noticed it because of the CPU load. Have a good day/evening).

@dolphin_oracle

Just copied from web page https://mxlinux.org/uncategorized/repos-mx-23/ to relevant files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Found some typos:
a couple of "bookwormmain' that (I think) should be 'bookworm main' (missing space)

Also running 'sudo apt update' saw:
W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'non-free-firmware/Contents-amd64' as repository 'http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo bookworm InRelease' doesn't have the component 'non-free-firmware' (component misspelt in sources.list?)
Perhaps the line
deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ bookwormmain non-free non-free-firmware
should be
deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ bookworm main non-free
??

Why kernel updates may take a while & and how to fix that

Replying to specialk above, though it was a thread hijack:

Updating a kernel also will trigger any -dkms drivers you have installed to rebuild a new driver for that kernel. We include some Realtek wi-fi drivers by default with MX, so as to have as many machines as possible have working wi-fi out of the box.

Some of those can take quite a while to build on older hardware, and if you don't have that particular wi-fi hardware, it's all to no end.

I recommend uninstalling any you don't need. IDK if this appears on any lists of "Top Ten Things to do After Installing MX Linux", but should be.
