Though I meant users that need the Nvidia legacy 304xx and 340xx drivers to build with it.
Many thanks stevo,

Yes, that's one of the new drivers we put in the MX test repo for safety's sake until enough users test it. Thanks!

Liquorix has been updated this afternoon antix17.3 4.20.0-15.1-liquorix-amd64 #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT liquorix 4.20-13.1~sid (2019-03-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Also I had a win with changing my default boot kernel to 4.20.0-15.1-liquorix-amd64 #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT liquorix 4.20-13.1~sid (2019-03-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux
One down one to go..
Please only report on the packages from the MX repositories here. You're getting yours from the upstream Liquorix repo, which is built against gcc-8 on Sid, and that may lead to problems with the Nvidia driver rebuild. Again, I also have backports in my OBS repository for those that don't want the whole MX repo.
Sorry Stevo never realised I was braking the rules..
I have completely removed liquorix from my system and back running on antix17.3 4.20.12-antix.1-amd64-smp #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 25 00:14:08 EET 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux as default.
Will just wait and see if antiX build the liquorix kernel. As in an earlier thread was stated that antiX kernels are build on different framework to build their kernels than MX.. ?
The liquorix ran just fine but I did have the Nvidia rebuild problem as stated earlier.
Sorry Again

Also the output of
Solved it. I had made gcc-8 as default compiler. Changed it to gcc-6 with update alternatives, ran

If you are using the kernels directly from Liquorix, they have their own forum...where they will point you to my separate OBS repo for Stretch/antiX Liquorix backports (for the
third time in this thread). I doubt that antiX has the time to reinvent the wheel when I'm already building the kernel backports.

We have now added the last release of the Liquorix 4.20 kernel series, 4.20-15, which is based on the 4.20.16 vanilla kernel release.
We've also added the new 5.0.0-1 Liquorix kernel. This version switches back to p-state power saving for modern Intel CPUs, which is the same that the stock MX and Debian kernels use. Like with those, it's also possible to start with a boot flag to disable p-state and use cpufreq instead.
64-bit dkms packages tested and updated to build with the new 5.0 kernel:
The new Nvidia 410.104 driver in our test repo. Older versions will not build, and Nvidia only supports 64-bit systems with the 4XX releases, though also supporting 32-bit programs on 64-bit. I was able to get Bumblebee working again on my Optimus laptop for both 64-bit and 32-bit, though the MX Nvidia driver installer might need updating to work with the newer driver---primus packages apparently are not needed.
Code: Select all
$ optirun inxi -G
Graphics: Device-1: Intel driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: NVIDIA driver: nvidia v: 410.104
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: intel resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 410.104
The latest Virtualbox 6.0.4-7~mx17+1 backport from Sid in the test repo. This also only supports 64-bit host systems now, though 32-bit guests are still supported.
Broadcom-sta-dkms 6.30.223.271-9.1~mx17+1 in the main repo builds.
Ndiswrapper-dkms was patched for 5.0 support in 1.61-0.1~mx17+4 and is in the main repo.
Bbswitch-dkms for Bumblebee in the main repo still builds.
The latest zfs-dkms in the test repo successfully builds.

Dear Stevo,
Thanks for letting me know about this particular Liquorix thread. I'll be following this one as well as the older one.
